I agree. I just don't ever want to be in a situation where a sidearm is the weapon of choice because the tactical situation dictates it...but much better to have one if a really bad situation is thrust upon you.slipknottin said:
At those ranges the adversary has a greatly increased chance of scoring a disabling hit as well. I'd rather clear a house w/ a short-barrel AR w/ the telestock closed...but I'd rather not, period, w/ anything, if you get my meaning. My brother has had to do this sort of work, and it is not for the faint of heart or for those with lengthy reaction times.
Right now, my issue arm is the Beretta M82 (M9 in the DoD). Reliable, high capacity, but lower on the stopping power scale. There are better choices, as the Marines and Army are finding out.
So, to avoid topic drift, My Favorite in the semi-auto pistol category: HK USP in .45ACP or the Wilson Combat KZ-45. To me, it's a tie. I like the feel of the HK, but the grip angle of the 1911-series arms are quite good, too. The cartridge is battle-proven in numerous wars. Not an easy choice, for me at least, but one will be my next purchase.
The late Jack O'Connor is probably smiling in heaven over that choice...his favorite.Bucho said:

Off Topic I know...but when it comes right down to it, I would much rather shoot my bow any day over a firearm.
Just somethin about it, probably that Native American blood comin to the surface in me.
My favorite all time bow was a PSE Polaris I had, now shooting a PSE Sidewinder with the Arson cam.

Back from the dead!
I'd have to say my USP .40 for handgun and its a toss up between my Winchester 250 lever action .22 and my 1918 Lee Enfield SMLE. I love something with that much history on it

Usually I prefer something short, like a sawed-off, sos I don't knock over my spittoon whiles I'm swinging it around... But I reckon it mostly depends on what I'm aimin' to kill on a given day.
