Ponder not .45 vs 9mm.....perhaps peruse the perfection of the polymer platform.

[I'mGatMan!]

Never been a fan of HK's, but the top two are gorgeous. :thumbup:

I have Glocks, Hk's, and Colt's. It doesn't matter what I like, but what you feel confident with for your intended use.

IMHO, out of the box, the best value out there is a Colt Gold Cup. My polymer choice is a HK P30. The interchangeable grip pieces make this one of the most comfortable guns to shoot, and it is pretty accurate out of the box as well.

I haven't had the pleasure to shoot an Ed Brown or and XD - maybe one day :thumbup:

To compare a Glock to a Busse - well, hmmmm?

 

[Lycosa]

lunde--- Thanks for the pix. Fantastic pistols.
My old P9s 9mm was the most accurate pistol that I ever shot with.

 

[PeterPHWS]

I like that Ed Brown!:thumbup:

Whether polymer or steel....if they work when needed...that is the main thing:thumbup:

My personal preference is a "tweaked" Sig P210...but that is on familiarity, reliability and accuracy and the fact 9mm is virtually obligatory if you are outside the US.

 

[lunde]

A "tweaked" Sig P210, eh? My Sig P210-2 has been tweaked a bit:

Closer views:

The most obvious tweak is the hard-chrome finish, done by Tripp Research, along with the Nill grips. The not-so-obvious tweaks are the Nill beavertail that is permanently attached to the frame, and the Novak's low-mount night sights. Great shooter!

Another view:

Here's my other P210, a P210-5LS (six-inch slide/barrel, built-in beavertail, and American magazine release):

Very few Sig P210-5LSes were ever made.

 

[Lycosa]

Not bad, Ken.
Tell me you don't own The 9mm Luger Pistol.

 

[lunde]

I own plenty of pistols chambered in what many call 9mm Luger, but I do not own any Lugers per se.

How about a Walther PPK/S that was made in 1976?

 

[Lycosa]

Ken---A Blued Walther PPK is on my list. I had a SS PPK but the Blue is the Classic. Great pix and thanks.
Now, go get a Luger Pistol.

 

[lunde]

Getting back to 9mm Glocks, how about the Glock 18C? :thumbup:

A closer shot of the "happy" switch:

Inside the slide:

The ports:

1.5 seconds worth of ammo (33+1 rounds):

 

[Lycosa]

Good Gawd, Man!!
:thumbup:

 

[RedbeAR15]

Speaking of old beater Colt 1911s, heres mine:

Beautiful gun Lunde - :thumbup:

I'm a big fan of the DE's

Have you run across any of the new ones for sale?

 

[lunde]

In addition to being given the opportunity to photograph that Glock 18C two years ago, by virtue of knowing Glock's West Coast representative, I also had a chance to put about 250 rounds through it. :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[I'mGatMan!]

Now THAT's bananas. Very nice pull there, Ken. And btw...those Nil Grips really make your guns POP!. I can't imagine how long it took you to find the 18c, though.


ETA: Ahhh...i thought it was yours. I'm sure you enjoyed the heck out of it, though.

RedbeAR15, you wrote:

Nope, but I also haven't been looking very hard, mainly due to the fact that the chance of them becoming certified for California sale is somewhere between zero and none. :grumpy:

Colt will apparently be releasing two versions. They showed what is equivalent to the "enhanced" version at the 2008 SHOT Show. Here is a photo I took:

They showed what is equivalent to an original version at this year's SHOT Show. Here is a photo I took:

Mine started out as an original one in stainless steel. I bought it from a local fellow for $700, and it included about 1,000 rounds of defensive ammo. It was LNIB.

Sheesh...that is a RIDICULOUS deal. :thumbup:

All right ya big show off! How about a 1939/40 Walther PPK:

 

[kdstrick]

I REALLY want a "happy switch" for my Glock!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Lycosa]

Brian---What a fantastic pistol. Thanks for the photos.
Can I have it, please?

 

[motorhed66]

Dear Sir,
do you have any photos of my favorite wonder 9, the Browning Hi- power...I have a year before mine comes home from Heirloom Precision
