My Dream Handgun?

[vcdgrips]

I was looking for a response on another forum and came across the above question. The following are my answers from about 4-5 years ago. They have not changed:

1. A 999.99 (949.99 w/o the light rail) 1911 that had a decent 5lb trigger, nite sights, lower ejection port, commander style hammer w/ beavertail, beaveled magwell, dehorned, 4 inch @ 25 yrd accurate with 230g offerings from Winchester, Remington or Speer, came with 3 Chip McCormick 8 round powers mags and would feed Winchester 230g SXT all while running like a Gen 2 Glock 17, fresh from the box after a quick wipedown and lubing up the rails.

2. a Glock 34/35 sized single stack in .45 ACP that ran like a Gen 2 Glock 17 fresh from the box.

3. A Chuck Rodgers 1911 which in fact do run like a Gen 2 Glock 17 so long as they are well lubed.

4 Browning High-Power in a new Mark 4 variant. Novak cut for 1911 nite sights, commander style hammer and beaver tail to eliminate hammer bite, no magazine safety thereby cleaning up the trigger considerably and rated for a constant diet of Speer 124+p ammo. 4 inches @ 25 accurate that runs like a Gen 2, Glock 17.


Thoughts and choices solicited please.

Sounds like you just need a Glock 17.

10 years ago I'd have said a tricked out 1911.

5 years ago I'd have said an RMR'ed Glock 19 with every part swapped for something "better".

Today I'd say an RMR'ed Glock 19 with a minus connector.

Except in 45 ACP.

They almost got it right with the G41. (smile)

I always liked the high power, however I hate shooting it with a thumbs down grip. The problem was the slide stop would be engaged if I didn't. If they could make a hi power with a slide stop that allowed me to shoot thumbs forward I would love it.

The only issue is with the double stack 9mm 2011 style guns becoming more reliable, I would much rather have one of those due to the superior trigger.

I would like a pistol with the grip of a P30, the grip angle of a Glock 19, the mag capacity of a Steyr GB, the size of a Glock 19, the trigger pull of a tuned Beretta 92G, and the recoil impulse of a PX4CC. Sadly, I've yet to find such a pistol.

P220 Super Match too bulky for you?

Carries like a DoubleTap Derringer, hits like a .50BMG

Recoil-less, suppressed and...30 shots.

30 is the quitters number. 50 at least
