glock, not that I've got any affinity but it's what most people think so I go based on the speakers assumptions.

I get super focused on projects or next purchase I have a boner for. So for me right now its the X-Carry.

After I procure that one it'll be something else that pops in my head.

cslinger, I'm a child of decades earlier, so I guess the 1911 or FN/Browning Hi Power for me. The first SIG I bought was back in the '80s though, a P226.

I think of a Glock which is funny because I don’t own a Glock.

1911 probably because it was 1st pistol I shot and was also common in all those WW2 movies I see when I was a kid.

1911 style like the Kimber custom carry II in 9mm or 40 S&W. Which is what I am currently lusting for.

No shit....Those Fanner45's were kick ass!!
Thanks fquico, for bringing back a terrific childhood memory.

I would also have to say it would be the 1911.

The 1911, the only handguns I own, besides one Ruger mark II.

The Luger would be #2.
