That one gun that is special
Does anyone have a Model of pistol/revolver that has just worked for them better than anything else. For pistols a SIG P230 SL or P230 just have been super reliable and accurate. Not the best 380 choice anymore but I love mine and carry it when I probably could carry a more effective pistol. For revolvers a 3" S&W Model 10-8 or possibly a Ruger Speed Six 357 magnum. Accurate and reliable. Do you hace a pistol/revolver that works that well for you?

That would be this 2002 build Wilson CQB. It's just a pleasure to shoot & after about about 20k rounds it hasn't had a single malfunction with any of my reloads or factory ammo. When I used to edc 1911s only, this was my go-to carry.

I agree. I have more than one favorite pistol.

Probably my M11-A1.

Before moving to Oklahoma, I carried a P228 since 1998. It was the last weapon I sold to help take care of my old man.

When I got back on my feet, this was my first purchase. It's over 3k with no issues at all. It will shoot light years ahead of anything else I own. I carried it daily until last year. I still have it on my side when I go out of town on a trip though. This will be the one buried with me.

Ironbutt, that’s a fantastic looking EDC. I am going to assume that is a picture from when it was new?

Great Pictures. I love the old Colt Detective Specials and the P225 has a cult all its own.

Although it wasn't my first Sig (that was a used 226), it was my first NIB firearm I bought when I turned 21. A NIB 1994 Sig 228. I wish I kept a round count, but it has never had a single malfunction of any type.

It was stolen (by an ex-girlfriend) and recovered, and has been with me ever since. I joke that I will be buried with it, but eventually it will go to one of my sons.

I'm kind of loathe to admit it, but my Smith & Wesson MP Pro C.O.R.E. 9mm is the one gun I have that doesn't make me feel like an idiot shooter. The red dot is probably what makes the difference. But if I want to show tight groupings and awesome Mozambique Drill skills, this is the one I go to.






You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

It's my often spoke about ratty P-228 WG 1991 vintage and my 24/7 companion. I bet my life on this weapon and it has served me well. Chris


Hey I figured it out Sorry for the larger photo I'll learn sizing later. Chris

Good ‘ol Glock 17 in the 3rd gen variant. I have one that has about 8500 rounds through it over a decade without any malfunctions and shoots X’s all day long and twice on Sunday.
