BE FOREWARNED.......Opinions will run wild here.
But just because of a serendipitous gathering and subsequent removal of five pistols I took to the range yesterday, I realized I may had,by chance, picked and sorted the five styles and calibers of the group of handguns anyone would ever NEED.
Want is a different story. But anyway. Agree or not. The logic and choices are legit.
Left to right:
1.Sig Sauer P220R-.45 ACP. Thought by many to be the best combat pistol ever made. 1911 fans may disagree but one thing...the .45 ACP round has a ton of street cred.
2. Browning P35 Hi Power-9mm. An icon. Designed by a genius. Used reliably in battle encounters globally for decades. Appropriately chambered for a cartridge proven just as reliable
3. Colt Cobra-.38 Special +p. A regeneration of the pistol which defined America. Used by millions of law enforcement officers, criminals, everyday citizens, the basic.38
Revolver is truly “Everyman’s Pistol”;
still doing the job after centuries of use.
4. Sig Sauer P365-9mm. It’s a new dawn. Today’s pistoleros want high tech, easy to carry, easy to shoot, and completely effective defense weapons. The SIG is today’s poster child for the modern shooter. Next up? Maybe a light saber????
5. Ruger LCP II-.380. Runt of the litter but loved none the less. You really gotta have a “better than nothing”, plain, painfully easy to carry and stupid simple to use defense tool for those 15 minute late night (or mid afternoon for that matter) runs to the Kwiky-Mart.
Funny how those five just came out of the bag and made the statement which they did.
