I like the CZ82, 9x18 Makarov.
Back in the day standard sidearm of Czech military and police.
Ambi controls make it suitable for a lh shooter.
Quite difficult to reassemble after a detail strip, however.
Solid steel construction, durable and dependable,

My bank account says C96 Red 9. I also love the 1911 of course and the luger. Roth Steyr is a funky cool pistol. Want to hear something crazy? I have and love my Dreyse .32. Really cool little gun. Damn, I just love all C&Rs. Except the makarov. Its accurate but that recoil kills.

Pre-A1 1911's in polished blue. A1/parkerized not so much. Original Hi Powers. Sig P210/P48. S&W Model 41. Maybe a S&W 39 since it was the first US made 9mm DA/SA.

Get a Pearce grip , greatly reduces felt recoil.

I fell in love with the 1911 when I was in boot-camp. I still love to shoot them. My son recently gave me a WWII G.I. piece, so that is my favorite.

I also like shooting my 1907 Dreyse, and assortment of old Colt and S&W revolvers from the early 1900s.

Come on guys. This is the SIG Forum. My favorite C&R pistol is a circa 1947, SIG SP47-8 from the original Swedish Sports Shooters Association order. This old girl has the best trigger I have ever used, bar none. I also have an older .22lr conversion kit for it.

For some reason I have always been drawn to the Steyr-Hahn.

Polish P64. 9X18 Makarov. Snappy little puppy. Only negative is that damn double action trigger pull.

For a curio and relic, how about anything by Sig, because it's no longer supported a year after being introduced.

My Gen 1 MPX, for example...

Huh. I owned a Russian commercial Makarov for a time and never thought the recoil was bad at all. The thing weighs like 8 pounds which soaks up that recoil pretty well.

I take it you’ve never shot a lightweight alloy Smith & Wesson .38/.357 snubnose revolver? Now that is some unpleasant recoil...

"Unpleasant"?

I say, nay, nay!

It causes one to laugh out loud, and go to the sales counter for another box of 50.
