Your choice of battle sidearm?

1911

Hmm. Nobody said LCP yet. Shocker.

Crap stirrer.

Glock 34.

Good call. I'd like to update my original answer from Glock 21 to Glock 41.

Well then, cornered that would be a 686 Distinguished Combat Magnum and a 66 Combat Magnum both blazing.

I just need to get a pipe and a big hat..

I think Pharrell Williams has your Elmer Keith hat and pipe and would loan them to you to come out of a corner blazin'.

I am bringing my S&W 686 and 66 Combat Magnums to the Dottrio Shoot this Sunday at Freestate, but I don't think they will let me go to the line double-blazin'.

For a battle, though, got to be Glock 21

 

[SargeTMC]

FNX45 Tactical

Probably this (silencer optional)

 

[Allium]

Shot - out!

Splash in 3...

13e here - so full battery FFE beats 8 rds 45 any day. King of Battle any day.

Echomike - Sill?

 

[Racer Doug14]

XDm .45 or 9mm. 19+ in 9mm! Twice as many in .45 as a 1911.

 

[realjoecool]

Glock 18 if we're dreaming.

34, 26, 17 or 19 if we're being real.

This, but a 21 would be on the list. I would keep the 26 as the backup sidearm

Glock 34.

My wife's choice is her safe queen, a Glock 17L. I hope she finally thanks me for the 33rd magazine I gave her on valentine's day.

Nah, USMC radio rock here (2531 back then, 06-something now). MOS school was at Pendleton, that was nice.

Then 10 years of weekend warrior, but I still bleed green. And like I used to say, we all wear the same tree suits, so I got yer 6!

My accuracy is best with my XDM .40 so there is my pick.

 

[Hit and Run]

FNX 45. Interested in HK's but just haven't gotten around to them.

Mine too. Very accurate and reliable. I also like the 15 Rd .45 ACP magazine capacity and it comes or rather came with 3 of them. I bought on a whim as my F-O'Malley gun before 10 round limitation became law. One of very few guns I did just a very little research on before buying. For me, it was a far better than expected impulse buy.

Here's something to think about:

In this scenario, can YOU repair your sidearm of choice in the event that something breaks / wears out?

Parts abound for 1911's.

 

[SmokingGun]

Gen2 Glock 19.

Looking forward to it!

 

[rico903]

I love my staple gun-HK P7

And you will until you need parts and they won't ship them to you. As I said they are my most accurate guns but I wouldn't use them for EDC. I like the M&P over the Glocks but Glocks are just plain stupid simple.
If I could carry I would carry my CZ P-01, or my 642.

You would have a back up gun to your battle sidearm? Rifle, secondary, and back up.

 

[Blaster229]

If you could have your choice of battle sidearm, what would it be?

I'm more interested in everyone's take on make and model here as opposed to caliber.

Pros and cons?

I haven't got to handle any of the Euro pistols much, such as the HK's, Sigs, and CZ's, just Glocks and the American mainstays so far. I know it's an outdated platform, but so far at least, nothing has been able to top the way a 1911 feels in my hand and points for me.

What say you all?

Define "battle" please. Seems many here have lost scope of this op. Seems it has turned into the same, bland edc thread.
