Kimber Solo. Pricey but worth it.
+1 for the Kimber. I've loved mine for the past 4 years. Great gun. -
Well I traded for a Ranch Hand in 45lc. I already don't like the sights so I'm going to order a new set. I've ran a set of 45lc snap caps through it several times and it seems to load, feed and eject perfectly. I've even got it to feed and eject while spinning it like John Wayne. (A move only preformed with snap caps. I've got no desire to put a hole in my foot or my head.) After I get the new sights I'll take it to the range and see what kind if accuracy I can get out of it. I think I'll make a shoulder scabbard for it also. If nothing else it should make a neat pack gun. Or at least keep me entertained with tinkering with it for a few years. Lol.

Anybody?

Sig P238/P938, Colt Mustang, Kimber Solo, Beretta Tomcat.

I've been thinking about getting a Rossi Ranch Hand and wanted to get some first hand opinions from people who own and have shot them. What are the pros and cons your reasons for pick the caliber you did. Thanks in advance.

I have owned and carried my solo for about four years and absolutely love it. Striker fire, single action with 1911 ergonomics. Only issue I've had is the finish on my bitone black frame is easy to scratch. I'm just waiting until I can't stand the look and get it cerakoted. Its a short slide with heavy springs and Kimber recommendes shooting 124 grain or heavier rounds. I pack mine with Hornity 147 xtp. BTW, $500 is a great price.

I just bought one from Dolomite. My first Glock. It's a Gen 3 17 and I love it, except that trigger. It's just to long a stroke on the first round. But i knew it wasn't gonna be a 1911 going in. Other than that it aims well, ran 100 rds through it this morning with no malfunctions. Gonna get a lot of time behind this thing, my handgun skills are sorely lacking.

I still haven't gotten mine to the range yet but I have high hopes for the performance. -
I agree - and know they are darn fine tools. They just feel awkward as heck in my hands to the point that I don't shoot them very well.
I felt the same way for years with every Glock I've shot but the G27 actually feels normal to me. I've been playing with the back straps and I think I've found the right grip ergonomics. Hopefully it'll all play out nicely at my next range visit. -
Then it isn't too late to come to your senses and turn back. :pleased: Seriously, I know they are good guns I just don't like them. I hope you enjoy yours and it gives you great service.
In the words of Robert De Niro from Ronin "Oh, you know, it’s a tool box. I don’t care. You put the tools in for the job. That’s all." -
Congrats! My first Glock was a 27 gen 3. Didn't like the small grip. Picked up a G23 and forget about it! Tremendous difference and would consider it since Glock is on your mind. Can't have too many!
A buddy of mine uses the G23 magazine in the G27 with an A&G mag spacer to make the grip longer but still keep the compact frame. -
Thanks TNWNR and Grand Torino. I've been working on my leather skills. Its not perfect but it functions very well.

Seems to me the two you are considering (Kimber micro vs Sig P238) are just variants of the Colt Mustang. Why not just go with the original? I've owned the Sig P238 (great gun) and the Micro Desert Eagle (also a great gun and very compact). I've also shot the bersa, khar seecamp and keltec .380's. But once I got my hands on a Colt Mustang Pocket lite, I'll never carry any other .380 again. Hands down the best .380 pistol ever made and well worth every penny I paid for it. Just my 2 cents, but if you can, shoot a colt before you pull the trigger on any other .380.

Sig p938. Single action for better, crisper trigger for accurate follow up shots. Thinner for concealed carry. All metal construction just feels better in your hand (my opinion only) and helps with felt recoil. Proper safety. Plus it doesn't look like every other compact Sig model made. Lol

I own a Sterling. I inherited it from my late uncle. It seems to be a well made little gun and shoots straight. I've seen them go for around $200 give or take depending on condition.
-
I've owned a lot of revolvers and I have to say the Rogers are my favorite. If you're wanting just a shooter, I'd suggest the GP100. If you want to shoot and carry, try the SP101 with 3" barrel.

I'd go Rock Island over the Citadel

-
Mostly plinking , shooting targets.
$500 or so on the budget,got another handgun I'm wanting to trade for one.
New or used is fine
Rock Island is about the best for your budget. Build like a tank and accurate as the day is long.- 1

Ok, two choices have come to mind. First is the Desert Eagle .50AE. A .50cal for my 50th. Second is the S&W 460V. I'm liking the 460 due to the ability to shoot .460 s&w, .454 and .45lc. Any thoughts of first hand experiences with either pistol?

What's the details of this specific series that make it more desirable than the typical Python?
I think cause the serial numbers are for the 1964 production year and that would make them 50 years old. 50 year old gun for my 50th birthday. Get it? Unfortunately I was born in 1965. -
Maybe I should get a Desert Eagle 50AE for my birthday. A 50 cal for my 50th. Lol

For heirloom stuff I always like to go highly customizes......keeps me from selling it :rofl: .
I second (or 11th) the idea of a nice customized 1911. I'd bet you can get something one of a kind without breaking the bank. Giving us a general idea of what you already have or don't want may help weed out some redundant responses too.
Orrrrr, you could always track down that custom Glock that had the trigger guard removed and lots of other custom work done to it.
