take a second to vote in the poll.  i've always been a fan of the sig DA/SA line, but sometimes wonder if i would be better served with one of the striker fired guns.  lower bore axis.  same trigger pull.  all that.  i tried the HK again today and just dont like it.  but im wondering what everyone else prefers.  also, if you pick one, let us know the model and caliber in your comments and intended use. 

 

for me.  i like a 9mm sig da/sa with SRT.  thats what ive shot the most and am most comfortable with.

 

 

Unless you want to get a Smith & Wesson M&P, I would not try one, especially with an Apex trigger job. 

my favorite pistol is the one i use most often a glock 23 and i shoot that best. probably because ive shot thousands of rounds from glock 23's.  favorite hammer fired is the H&K usp compact .40.

Unless you want to get a Smith & Wesson M&P, I would not try one, especially with an Apex trigger job. 

 

 

ive actually shot both the 9 and 45 and liked them a lot.  im so inaccurate of a shooter though that unless i hate the gun, i have no way of telling whats better. 

Smith and Wesson 625JM 45acp revolver.  I use it for recreational and competitive shooting.  I love it.

So, I started about 2 years ago with the SIG P229R with SRT, then got a CZ SP-01.  I'm not sure if it's the reload or what, but I'm more accurate with the CZ.  I do like the SIG trigger better because its a "clean" wall then break, vs. the CZ, more like pull and not sure when it will break.  But, once again I'm more accurate with the CZ. go figure.

 

I also have a M&P9c with APEX forward sear and trigger kit and a PPQ M2.  The Apex is pretty sweet but the PPQ stock is pretty nice also.  I think I like the PPQ trigger better.

 

Lately I've started to debate if striker fire is just "better" for me, because of consistent pull vs. DA/SA, plus it's a bit lighter due to the frame.

 

LOL ... sorry but I probably didn't help you in deciding because I'm confused myself!!!!  

i guess i should have added the gun i felt was the most comfortable and i shot the best with

 

a sig p239 da/sa

My favorite handgun is my XD-45 5".  It has a big grip and fits perfectly in my big hands. 

The hammer gun I enjoy shooting the most is my Ruger P-94 40. 

I like my 1911, I like my Glock, I like my M&P and I like my wheelguns, but I like the XD and Ruger more. 

Personal Pefrence

I prefer my SA 1911. Cocked and locked, beautiful trigger.

I'm rather new to shooting but I like the trigger on my Ruger GP100 very much. It isn't too heavy or too light and I know just where it is going to break in double action.

I also have a CZ75 in 9mm and it isn't bad either.

I'm more accurate with the CZ on the range but more comfortable with the GP100 as a home defense gun. I'm not a horrible shot with the GP100 but feel more confident with the control I have over it. A large part of that feeling comes from the smooth trigger and knowing when I'm comimg close to the brake and being confident that I can back off the brake if need be.

I've rented the Beretta Storm and it was decent. I also tried another forum member's Walther PPQ. It felt very nice in my hand but has a very, very
light trigger pull. It would make a great range / target gun but I wouldn't be comfortable with it as my HD gun.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I tried (very briefly) the Taurus 92 (the Berreta 92FS clone) and found the trigger to be very, very heavy. At first I thought I had left the safety on or had a jam. It was that heavy!

I also tried a EAA Witness Match not too long ago. It is hammered fired, single action only (SAO) and has a very nice trigger with a clean, crisp break. Recoil was very smoothe for a 9mm.

I can't really choose a favorite- I change my mind as the wind blows, but I only own one striker fired pistol.  My 5.7 really feels like a great striker fired trigger though, despite have a hammer.  I think out of all my pistol, my HK P30 has the worst trigger.

I prefer 1911's but love revolvers now too

You are all fools my FNX 45 is the best shooting. I may be a little biased since it is mine, my first pistol and also my only pistol but whatever.

 

I think I like the idea of hammer fired. I had tried a M&P 9mm and that was a terrible mushy messs of a trigger. But it was a rental so I could be persuaded that is the reason.

 

I did try a revolver recently. S&W 686. Heavy pistol. Super light single action tigger pull. Really really nice. Annnnd now I will need one of those. But probably after a rifle first.

 

I need a much bigger wallet...

Well, we all like guns....and live in NJ.  So, yeah. 

I voted hammer, but the exception to my vote for a hammer fired pistol are my H&K P7 PSPs which is my choice for a HD firearm since the are the safest pistols to have in a house with young children.

1911 all the way, all day, every day.

1911 and 2011 pistols. In particular STI 2011s.

My current favorite handgun is PPQ but not because it's striker-fired.

 

The firing mechanism does not influence my gun preferences.

92FS was my first and I still enjoy shooting it.

I love all my guns but lately my PPQ 9mm gives me wood when I shoot it, due to its accuracy and overall comfortably.

Remind me not to stand near you when you shoot it

For real.

 

And I'm with Glen on the GP.

My semis (9 & 45) are also hammer fired, DA/SA.

Striker fired for defense, Smith Revolver for competition

Didn't think of it like that. Good point.

Smith and Wesson 625JM 45acp revolver.  I use it for recreational and competitive shooting.  I love it.

I still need to christen mine... guhhh work sucks.. I did change out the grip to a hogue.

 

By far my most favorite is my 1911, my M9A1 is in second place, the 625 is probably gonna blow them all out of the water once i get to shoot it. The SA on the 625 is feather light.

Glock 19.

Geez Rick, woulda never guessed.lol! I went with my Beretta 96A1 (haven't shot the GP100 enough, but like it so far) 

Lol...yeah its been my favorite out of all the guns Ive shot. Would love the 17 if not for the ten round onlys.

Not being sure when it will break, will keep you from anticipating recoil and flinching. 

Someone once said the best are the ones where the shot surprises you.

What do you think about cutting it down?

Walther PPQ M2 Navy

Walther PPS with big dot sights

Walther P22 with green laser and hi viz sights

FN Five Seven

 

That's it for now...
