I'd pick the same handgun that sleeps next to my bed - a S&W M&P45. It's light weight, affordable, reliable, has a consistent trigger pull, and is ergonomically correct. 14rd extended magazines are available as spares.
My 2nd choice would be an H&K USP45. The USB is DA/SA but can be carried cocked & locked like a 1911. It's light and ergonomically correct and is very reliable. The downsides are the proprietary accessory rail and the cost of spare magazines.
My 3rd choice would be a Sig 220 SAO (Single Action Only). Reliable, with a consistent 5lb trigger pull and outstanding ergonomics, its only downsides are weight and 8rd magazine capacity.
I have trained with both 1911's and striker fired over the years so not a big switch for me. I really like my S&W M&P45 and has given me zero issues since I bought it. I use Speer Gold Dot 230 gr JHPs.
For carry, although that is not an option for me, but if I could, hands down it would be either my HKUSP45c or HKUSP9c. Extremely reliable, shoots straight, and perfect size for a carry gun to me- small enough to easily carry all day but still feels basically like a full size gun when shooting it.
Even though most of my handguns are 1911's, I love the HKUSP compacts, they're built like tanks and can either go cocked and locked (with V1 version) or DA/SA. I find the SA pull to be very good on them after a thousand rds or so to break it in.Last edited by timbo399; 10-01-2015, 4:43 PM.Comment
