First thing that came to mind for me. Somehow completely forgot about every other possible option out there. But I guess I looked at it from the perspective of what had been out and proven by that point. A lot thats popular today was the new kid on the block then. | |||

Assuming the "team" doesn't have an "A" in the name yet wanting to maintain plausible deniability I'd go with the Walther P38. | |||

Beretta 92. Or a Smith and Wesson .357 revolver. I wouldn't be familiar with anything else at that time.  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

Probably the Beretta 92. Might have considered the SIG 220, but 1983 was the start of the Wonder Nine era, so the Beretta probably would have gotten the nod.

Interesting that no one has said 1911 yet. As someone pointed out, 9mm ammo wasn't that great back then. ----------------------------------------- Roll Tide! Glock Certified Armorer NRA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||

OP said no 1911's. | |||

jljones specifically excluded the 1911 from this survey, that's why. Also it's why I haven't posted any pistol here. I was pretty familiar with all the available handguns in the early 1980's and fairly adept with many of them, including the BHP. Nothing was as impressive at that time as the Colt 1911 in .45ACP. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

In 1983, I already had experience with a BHP, Beretta and Sig 226. I finally settled on the the Sig 226, which I still own, by the way. _____________________________ "The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."
