Name a "Classic "

JK Knives · May 10, 2017

I've been thinking of what handguns I consider "classics." Here are a few I came up with.
1911
Browning Hipower
Colt SAA
Walther PPK

Let's hear some of yours.

I would say you would want to consider the Luger and S&W Model 29

JK Knives · May 10, 2017

Good choices.

CZ 75
S&W Model 10, 60
Colt Python
Charter Arms Bulldog
Ruger Blackhawk
Sig Sauer p226

JK Knives · May 10, 2017

More good ones. I'll also add the S&W 19

outdoorsfan · May 10, 2017

S&W 686

JK Knives · May 10, 2017

Ruger Standard .22

Very good list so far, I'd add a top break Webley.

JK Knives · May 10, 2017

That's one I wouldn't have thought of!

I'm not sure a "classic" but definitely an old, famous model - The Deringer

jbarsquat · May 10, 2017

How old does it have to be to be considered a classic? 42 years old this year the Beretta 92

jbarsquat · May 10, 2017

Oh and a Colt Woodsman for sure!

JK Knives · May 10, 2017

You guys are doing good!

B JACKSON · May 10, 2017

Well, 2 that have unmistakable profiles and huge influence on the handgun world:
Thompson Center Contender (changed handgun hunting forever)
25acp Baby Browning (FN) .............. it's a Browning!

JK Knives · May 10, 2017

I would have never thought of the Contender, but you are correct.
Here's another, the S&W 39. Illinois State Police were the first large department to make the switch from revolvers to autoloaders, and the 39 was their choice.

Ruger Mark I/II/III
High Standard Model H
Colt 1903
Mauser C96 Broomhandle

JK Knives · May 10, 2017

I'm getting lots of guns I never thought of, good answers!

jackal_727 · May 10, 2017

Remington 1100
Marlin 60
Remington 870
Winchester model 70
Remington 700
Glock 17 (classic as far as tactical Tupperware is concerned!)

Squidman24 · May 10, 2017

Wait..... there are other handguns besides the 1911??? Next you're going to tell me something crazy like 1911s come in a caliber other than .45 ACP!

Good choices but this is about hand guns.
The Glock 17 definitely belongs on the list too.

I'll add the S&W 41 to the list.
