My thought too. Arguendo, a 4-man unit seems to imply that at some point, with a high degree of probability, everybody should expect that shit-is-going-to-hit the air mover. Unless one is a driver, another the lookout and the third is in charge of pizzas. That being said, and the remaining three being the grownups that they are, they could choose whatever their heart pleases them. As for me, Benelli B-76. Big enough for distance, small enough to conceal. Hirtenberger red primer seal for ammo, a song and a prayer. *************************** Knowing more by accident than on purpose. | |||

I'm going to assemble my 4 person team in 1985. Since the team consists of Myself, Stacey Sutton, Kimberley Jones, and Pola Ivanova, then there is only one choice as my carry gun: "Walther PPK, .32 ACP, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. Takes a brush silencer with very little reduction in muzzle velocity." . | |||

I didn’t say what you were doing as a team. I also didn’t say where you were located. This was by design to open up more ideas. Which has been great so far.  | |||

The year is 1983, pick a pistol. I started my handgun shooting journey a couple of years later, during the summer of 1985 (Armor Officers Course at Ft. Knox - introduced to the 1911). The first semi auto that I cut my teeth on was a Browning Hi-Power later that year. So for me - its gotta be a BHP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice. | |||

Here's the conundrum of choosing weapons for another. Should it malfunction, you'll never hear the end of it. At the very least, that will not bode well for a relationship. Yes, no Christmas cards, no chocolates for Valentine's day. Even worse, they will not share a toothbrush with you. *************************** Knowing more by accident than on purpose. | |||

This has been a fun thread. Thanks for starting it. If you don't mind my asking, why 1983? | |||

83 was a special year in history. By leaving open the where and why, you had folks that could choose the new kids- Beretta 92 (primarily I was wondering how many would bring up the 92S as opposed to the F), the 226, or even the Bren 10, or if you’d see a lot of Smith 39s, BHP, or even go P7 or P9S. 83 to me was really the year that firmed what we see now. | |||

IIRC, the first CO of the SEALs (?) allowed and encouraged the personal selection of weapons, haircuts and colognes. I guess it worked more like BYOB. *************************** Knowing more by accident than on purpose. | |||

If you really want something you'll find a way ... ... if you don't you'll find an excuse. I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either  | |||

Too bad not a couple of years later, the 645 would be available in spring '85. I like .45 and would have been a good choice, since that wasn't the case, I chose HKp7 | |||

Due to ammunition technology back then 9mm would be a no. Since 1911’s are off the table it would HAVE to be the P220. For ME: DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9 Striker fired= Glock 9mm If it's a .45= 1911 Suppressed= HK in .45 I like anything in 10mm | |||

A T-Series BHP. I remember watching Serpico. Pacino was buying one. Guy behind the counter asked, "You planing on holding off an army." Serpico: "No, just a division." | |||

My team will have High Standard 10x's. We're a small bore bullseye team.  _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

What specifically occurred in 1983. I can't quite figure that part out. Glock unveiled??? . | |||

HK P7. Funny thing is that’s be my choice in 2018 as well. It’s my all time favorite. | |||
