Best handgun for you?

[2mpDan]

I'm kind of on the fence about which type of handgun is the most fun to shoot. I mean, when it comes to semiautos, revolvers, and single-shots, there's so much to consider! What do yall think? Which one really brings the most excitement for you?

My Ruger Mark III is the most fun pistol to shoot. Its cheap and accurate and the only ammo it doesn't like it Remington yellow jackets as they are dirty to shoot. The next most fun pistol is my Dan Wesson .44 mag.

I find revolvers to be the most fun to shoot, no contest. There’s just something about the whole experience that gets like the way you cock the hammer, the solid feeling of the cylinder in your hand, and that slow, deliberate rhythm really makes each shot feel special. It’s like every time you pull the trigger, you're part of something meaningful.

Most fun to shoot is probably my Ruger Blackhawk .44 Spl.

I do own and shoot semi-autos. However, I consider myself a revolver guy. For low cost fun, I have a .22 Cal, Ruger Rangler SA, It is lots of fun to shoot. For accuracy and longer range, I have a Dan Wesson Model 15, .357 Mag with an 8' barrel. I hope to take a deer with the Dan. I know the accuracy is there, if I can have a steady rest.

I've taken 8 whitetail with my Dan Wesson 15-2 sporting a 6" barrel. When hunting I've had either a red dot or 1x7 scope mounted on it. A good rest definitely helps and with my 158 gr XTP handloads that .357 will shoot 2½" groups at 85 yards (the length of my range at home).

That's good to know. I also hand load. I have been trying to decide on 140 or 158 gr XTP. My Dan shoots both very well. I have open sights, so I plan on keeping any shots within 25 yards.

My Sig .45 P220. It's been with me for a decade already and haven't encountered any issues. Only issue is the owner

Is the owner under warranty?

Agree with Rugers. Man I miss my SR1911!

I think there's no fix for that....

I don’t mind a semi auto for shooting rimfire, usually a Ruger Mk of some kind. Others I shoot enough to stay proficient.

Mostly I shoot single actions in various “cowboy” calibers. The .327 single six has had my attention of late. Easy to hand load, easier to unload. Lol
