same old story come up with something new..  i will still take the 1911..

 

Easy to come up with the same old story because its the truth

XDM .45 13+ 1 reliable 45 goodness.

fnh fnp 45 15 rounds of 45 gtg... but I also like the glock g20 also 15 rounds of 10mm is nice to have...

My personal choice would probably be the m&p 9 as my combat sidearm but I would feel confident enough with any one of those choices. Jmo

Colt 1911 (29%, 251 Votes)

Glock 17 (29%, 247 Votes)

M&P 9 (12%, 101 Votes)

HK45 (11%, 99 Votes)

Sig P228 (11%, 96 Votes)

Beretta M9 (8%, 69 Votes)

I'd prefer one of the Sig P22x models, be it a P220, P226, P227, P228/M11A1, or P229 - any of those in any caliber offered (other than .22 of course).  I'd also consider the Sig Pro 2022.

 

...followed by 1911, Beretta M9/96, HK45/USP/USPc, Glock 17/20/21/22

My vote goes for a Sig P226. Love mine

cz75.

 

Just because I like it.

saw three  failures last year uspsa, two glocks and one double stack 1911.. one of those glocks is a forum member..

1911. One shot one stop. It dont matter what you carry. Just how good you are with it. Hell a throwing axe with a good operator is more lethal than a fool with a 50 cal

Still a rather limited sampling. A 1911 is a fine firearm but its still over hundred year old technology (that still works well). I've carried a 1911 in combat and Glocks under similar circumstances. Saying 2 Glocks failed without the reason (ammo, magazine, limp wristing, gun broke) doesn't convey a lot of info.

Cartridge selection is meaningless without precision as you say. Carrying a sidearm in combat includes conditions most shooters never encounter reliabilty when dirty, weight of ammo, etc.

Wilson Combat 1911 tactical elite with 10 round single-stack mag...Best shooting 45 acp auto pistol you can get (short of full custom maybee)...Accurate, exceptional shot-to-shot recovery (this is a big deal for a 45 - and I wouldn't use a lesser round for combat), wilson reliability.

If you think about it, you want a firearm where the parts are made in the us.  would not want to rely on parts that need to come from another country, we already have import problems without an issue...

M9 for sure -- no doubt about it
