Top handguns in your opinion?
Excluding 1911s
My favorite hand guns to shoot are SA revolvers like my Ruger vaquero in 357 mag. My favorite carry guns are my 45 shield and glocks. I say glocks because a Glock is a Glock lol.
I don’t really believe there is a Top handgun because that’s only based on opinion but what do y’all say.

Re: Top handguns in your opinion?
We really need to bifurcate this into two categories, top carry gun and top range gun.
For me, top carry handgun is Glock 19. Too many reasons why to even start listing them all.
My top range gun would be Colt Gold Cup 1911, which leads me kicking myself to this day for selling it
However, IF I had to choose between those two, I’d go with Glock 19.

Re: Top handguns in your opinion?
Ok top carry and top range!
I think getting rid of a Colt gold cup is punishable by death in some countries

Re: Top handguns in your opinion?
One question I have for 1911 aficionados.... I seem to remember Gold Cups (Series 80) going for $800+ even 30 years ago...but I seem to remember Kimbers being cheap and considers by Colt fans to be way inferior. Were Kimbers lousy and they just got better? Or were they always good. Seems now they are considered premium guns.cmgee67 wrote:Ok top carry and top range!

Re: Top handguns in your opinion?
In my experience with Kimbers they have always been really nice, accurate, and beautiful pistols. But what I have heard from a lot of people is you either get a good one or not. I have never owned a colt and I don’t really plan on it because of the price inflation because of the name. I can’t seem to make myself pay for it. I will say they do make quality guns. I would buy a Kimber over a Colt if I was given the money right now today tho.
