What's Your Next Handgun...and why?

[Tomahawkman]

Well since my AR is done now Im thinking about spring time Ill pick me up a smith and Wesson shield somthing for the summer months.

My next gun will either be a 10/22 so I can get my kids into shooting or it will be a 1911. I have always wanted one just wish I had the extra funds to fund my toys.

I just picked up my sig 226 legion yesterday. I can say that the machine work and overall quality is superb. It is also quite a bit smoother action than my other 226's. I haven't shot it yet and may not for some time. It is truly one of the nicer mass production guns out there. The grips are probably my favorite part with the slimmed down slide release coming in a close second. I will try to post some pics tomorrow.

Dang you.... the local LGS has a P229 and another the P226 Legions... I may end up getting one...

Get one. I questioned whether it was worth it to get another 226 much less a 1100 dollar one. It is well worth it. I am very happy with my purchase.

Everyone that has bought one seems to really be happy.

May not ever have a next one.
If not, the last is my 1858 Remington converted to .41 to use all the various off the shelf molds.

A full custom built 1911 from AllenM.

Pics as the project progresses.

I'm curious, is a full custom built 1911 better than buying a springer model?

Well, we will see.

I have several customized springers and I truly love them all.

We are going out to the edge with the custom build.

I will be impatiently waiting.

Several of us are.

Even though 1911 love is contagious I am still looking forward to a P226 next year. Woohoo! I do not want another 1911, I do not want ...

 

[JadedGrunt]

I'm leaning towards a G43 I think. I currently have a 19 and 26, both Gen4, but I want something a little smaller to carry for running and hitting the gym in light clothing. Maybe in a Smart Carry or something, not sure yet because I just bought my 19 and haven't really started looking for my next one just yet.

 

[Hellhound1055]

It depends on my budget, but I'd love to finally get my first 1911. However I also want to get one of the old metal pistols from smith and wesson (59, 39, etc.) One of my relatives has one and I absolutely love it.

It's not so much of a handgun as a cartridge.
Well I was recently infected with a 357 MAXIMUM bug. It quickly takes over your mind and all your focus is on that big long cartridge. I had to start reloading and I am now a full fledged sicko. Making up your rounds and then testing them is quite the rush.
I can't believe how much fun it is to shoot gongs at a 100 yards plus with a revolver. With the big heavy long barrelled six guns, the recoil is manageable. Just barely above some of my heavy 357 mag rounds.
The Ruger Blackhawks SRM, the Dan Wesson Supermags, and the Thompson Contenders are all on the prescription list for my illness. There's even a few rifles out there.
They are addictive. They are so good, don't even try them once.

 

[Vanguard.45]

Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special or a Springfield Professional or Two SIG Legions. Still deciding.

 

[OakRiver]

Either a Shield or M&P9C, with a Glock 19 as a runner up.

I really want to purchase a colt python with a 6in barrel...BUT...what the hell is going on with prices. I knew it was going to be an investment but wow...they are going off the charts. I'm holding out until I run across one for under $ 2000. That might take me awhile....lol
