The Perfect Gun

[Joe Chartreuse]

No, I am not talking about a "Best", or "Great All Around" or "Top Stopper".
Have you ever had a handgun that felt perfect for you instantly ( weight, balance, size, grip angle, etc....), like it just belonged in your hand- a part of you? If so, what was it? The LCP II was mine. I have small but thick hands. Larger weapons just don't balance as well, or trigger feel was off to me, in some cases just too freakin' heavy. Doesn't mean I don't like my others, only this one feels best, and I am extremely accurate with it.

Which handgun feels "Perfect" to you?

Browning Hi Power. Perfect fit. Extension of my arm.

 

[RC44Mag]

My Sig 228 is the perfect fit for my mid sized paw and points naturally for me.

 

[Captain America]

My .22lr SP101…just perfect.

 

[eveled]

Every 1911 I ever picked up felt just right.

I have a S&W 5906 I bought in 1990. Many times I thought about selling it to finance something else. UNTIL I picked it up. It fits me perfectly. If I was in a completely blacked out room and picked it up and took a shooting stance and then someone turned on the lights, the sights would be almost exactly aligned and my grip would not need to be altered. That's how well that gun fits me. I still have it and won't get rid of it.

I have a few Rugers that fit me very well also, My SR9c is almost as good as my S&W.

I kind of have to separate auto pistols and revolvers. When I was a lot younger, they were both Smith & Wessons: their 5" Model 27, and their Model 39. A whole bunch of years later, I'm a bit different, and things fit a little different. So right now: Dan Wesson Model 15 "pork chop", and Beretta PX4 full size.

Who knows about 10 years from now?!

102-103 series coke bottle grip high standard.

In '96 I picked up the new Kahr K9 and I've never had a gun feel so right in my hands bar none. That Dec. I found the 40 I wanted in electroless nickel and bought it. They only made the E-Nickel for one, maybe two, years. Unfortunately, it's now only available in the 9.

God made Man's hand to fit the future Single Action revolver. The thumb was placed exactly to reach and cock the upswept hammer while the index finger was placed to manipulate the trigger. God had Sam Colt in mind even as He created Adam.

Left handed Randall 1911. Should have bought several in different configurations. But who knew they would quit making them.

 

[BearBiologist]

Colt 1908 Hammerless.

I have a brisley single six. The bisley grip is just about perfect, and since it’s a single six as opposed to a larger Blackhawk, the weight is reduced. The balance is just spot on.

But I think also the regular ole’ CZ75. Not too big or bulky, not too heavy, and the grip is the perfect length and perfect angle. Plus it’s a very nice looking gun overall.

Those two come to mind right away.

 

[whittsailor]

Mine is the M&P Shield 2.0. A close second is my Taurus GX4.

 

[arcticruger]

Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag with 7.5” bbl.

It’s hard for me to say that as the Ruger early Standard 6” and Mark I with 6-7/8” bbls are my favorite and also feel and fit perfect to me.

 

[turd]

I have a High Standard Supermatic Tournament that I added a set of custom Herrett grips that I found at a gun show. Those grips feel like they were made for me.

 

[dobegrant.45]

For me single action blackhawks and colt government model 1911’s

 

[Sacramento Johnson]

Luger P08

 

[Johnnu2]

Broomhandle Mauser.... but tough to carry in my shoulder holster...
