What is the Best Handgun that you had a chance to shoot?

[Disposable Heart]

S&W Performance Center 686 Hunter. One of the early PC models for Lew Horton. One of 300 made. Super solid lock-up, 2 1/2# single action, 3 1/2# double action and the classic "breaking glass" trigger.

Wait Wait Wait! Okay, I will admit to that! That or your CZ .22 rifle, picking off .40 brass at 50 yards, giggling like a school girl.

Now, I will admit to one gun that I tuned with springs and stoning jig: Hemicharger's Smith 686: "Sorrow's Repite": A single action that will react to a heartbeat, THAT is a gun!

S&W 686

I really like mine too.....

 

[WOLFEMAN]

The best shooting handgun I've shot was an FN5.7. I don't
think I would invest in one, but it's most accurate semi auto
pistol I've operated.Fast, reliable and it's like shooting a
Ruger Mark 22 cal.

Wilson Combat Tactical Elite, suhweeeeeeet!

Had the Hipoint in 40 and 9mm.. liked them both but they were just to heavy and bulky.. went to P series Rugers.. LOVED The 89

absolutely my raging bull 44 magnum. Absolute tack driver. I can honestly say I put holes through holes at 25 feet. I've never done that with any other gun! Obviously, it was the gun, not me. :-) Gotta love an 8" barrel :-)

My Dads old K-38 Target Masterpiece. People just shoot it like they have been shooting all their lifes. Great gun

Selection's limited, but I'll go with the Beretta 92.

Big and heavy, yes, but a sweet shooter, a real looker, and my all-around best performance.

Either a Colt Python or one of the old series 70 Gold Cups.

 

[cce1302]

Either a Colt Python or one of the old series 70 Gold Cups.

There is something to be said for both. for me, I'd say a Colt series 70 Gold Cup for the best semi-auto, and for revolver, either the Python, or S&W 627-0, Model of 1989.
Single shot pistol: TC Contender (pre-G2).

Subjective, but I'll go with this list

1. S&W 629 .44 Mag with full house hunting loads. What a monster.
2. Glock 20C 10mm with 3.5lb trigger job. First Glock experience. Put me off of them for a while but I got used to it and got reasonably proficient.
3. Para Carry 12 LDA .45. Had never shot a .45, let alone a compact .45. Put six rounds in a 2 inch circle at 21 ft.
4. S&W 4043, DAO. Not an expensive or rare piece but has one of the sweetest DAO triggers I've handled on an auto and it soaked up virtually all of the .40S&W snap.
5. Desert Eagle in .44 Mag
6. Desert Eagle in 50AE

Most expensive handgun I've ever shot was a S&W 945, with an MSRP of $2,400... I don't know if its the best handgun I've ever shot, but if not its very close.

I have not had a chance to shoot any of the high end custom jobs, so I don't know about them. So I will have to say the best one I have shot was a CZ-75B. It was nothing to pick off clay pigeons at 50 yards. Up closer in the 7-15 yard range, on paper targets, it was simply a tack driver.

Back when I was just a pup, I was at an indoor range with a buddy plinking away with our 22's. In walks a guy with a brief case full of ammo, an Air- Weight S&W and a Colt 1911. I do not remember specifically what model that 1911 was, but I shot "lights out" with that thing. Just felt "right" in my hands. I may put that in as best if I knew the details of it.

Ruger Super Redhawk .44 Mag

yes, please. 8" bbl., Hogue grips, smooth as butter. I also really enjoyed shooting a friend's older S&W 4506, but I wouldn't want to carry it.
