Tie between my Ed Brown 9mm EVO with an optic and my Sig 239 in 375Sig.

#3. W German 228
#2. CZ75D-PCR with trigger work from CZ Custom
#1. CZ Phantom straight out of the factory. Absolutely in a class by itself.

Big bang theory?

I'm a decent shot with a Desert Eagle.

It doesn't make a good carry piece in the summer.

I don’t shoot bullseye or competition. My definition of “shoot well” is defensive drills fromp ready or holster, three shot strings, 2” groups, various distances, with movement.

P226 then P229, standard grips.

Glocks don’t work for me. My Range guns are fine for Sunday fun and burning $100 on ammo but that doesn’t count.

best accuracy w careful aim:

226 / 9 with 95 grn JSP

I grew up shooting revolvers and still find they are the easiest to shoot accurately for me.
I have nothing at all fancy refined or elegant.
I have had two phenomenal shooters, both homely well worn old beat cop guns I bought used.
The first was a shaggy looking but mechanically tight model 10-5 I picked up in the mid 2000’s for all of $165. Sub 5 inch fifty yard groups standing with a two hand hold right to point of aim with 158’s was the norm for that gun.
It stupidly was sold off because I felt I wanted adjustable sights. Then came another old cop gun, with various parts of the blue worn to bare metal from holster wear, a mid 50’s combat masterpiece 4 screw. It performed as well as the model 10-5, and as it came I never touched the sights as adjusted when I got it, this time the gun cost me a “lot” more- $300 !
These days I would be happy to snag any S&W in functional condition for those prices!
At the time I could get tighter 50 yard groups than I could with a semi custom 1911.
I still shoot a revolver better than an auto, the 1911 included

Glock 19C

Wilson Combat Beretta 92G-SD

S&W 52-2

Glock G17 Gen 5 with Zev slide, Trijicon RMR T2, and Night Fision Costa 1/3 sights.

Glock G45 with Aimpoint ACRO P2. Just did a week with it at Gunsite at the recent 250 class.

Sig 320 Nitron Compact 45 ACP. I'm going to purchase a spare slide and have it cut for the RMR pattern.

VP9LE which I will soon buy the VP9 OR slide and get an FCD RMR plate for.

This is an X-Five Tactical early version.

SP2022, 9mm.

It is more limiting for me to identify the least shootable pistol I own- as I am satisfied with my overall use of the others [other than increasingly needing a reddot due to declining eye sight].


My least shootable would be a Femaru M37 .380: heavy trigger and miserably small sights.

The 1942 Walther P38 is also bad- when fired in DA mode.


However, I alternate between the other firearms I own more, and my ability with them is relatively equal- none so much more 'shootable' as to stand out.

Of course, .22lr semi-autos seem to be the easiest. but that is almost cheating also.

Toss up between these two:

My 228, hands down

1st: .22lr
2nd: 380 Auto
3rd: 9mm


Divorced myself from 40S&W, 357Sig, 45acp, 38 Special, & 357 Mag

P229 Legion. SAO.

For me, it’s my LTT RDO Centurion. The dang thing is just so smooth!
