Your Handgun of Choice for Different Situations
MountainMan:
I thought this would be a great thread seeing how some of the other threads here have gone this route, but without the important topic. I know this is a tough thread and I suppose of you have multiple favorites you can post them. Personally, I really like several handguns and it depends on which day and mood I am as which I will be packin. I am just like to know what types of gun you prefer or the ones you like carrying, for whatever reason.
My main preference for urban defense is the Smith and Wesson M&P (Military and Police) 45 caliber pistol. Its lightweight, highly accurate, very durable and with an unbeatable warranty from S&W. It also has wonderful adjustable grips to fit a variety of hand sizes. I also like their 9mm and 40 caliber models, but .45 is my caliber of choice.
My main preference for the outdoors is the Smith and Wesson 629 44 caliber revolver which I like to carry in the woods for bear defense. This gun packs a real punch and can be loaded with some heavy bullets. Its not nearly as durable they say as Ruger Redhawk, which may be my next .44 revolver when the vault gets reloaded (LOL). The S&W 629 has a much more sexy appeal than the big ol honkin blocky Ruger though, however some do like the charm of the single action super blackhawks.
My main preference for pocket carry is the Smith and Wesson 442 airweight blued frame snubnose revolver. Its very light, packs a hard punch with a .38 special bullet and goes in my pocket everywhere I go. If you ever get in an armed struggle and your big gun fails you or is taken, whipping out the snubnose from the pocket can be lifesaving. Since it is a revolver, it can also be fired from your jacket and not be made visible to a would-be attacker. To me, this is the greatest pocket gun and makes a great choice for the ladies who purse carry.
List your handgun preferences for different situations, I love to hear.. This GUn/Firearms forum needs a little boost.. ;D

Any Smith and Wesson J-Frame, but preferably a 340PD because of its extremely light weight and can fire .357 magnum.
If I had to go for a pistol, it would be a Glock.

If the stupid law in Germany would allow weapons I would wear a Browning SFS or Walther P99

Nice Gun.. My hand says ouch with those hot .357's coming out of that ultra lightweight gun :'( I opted for the 442 because there is no way in heck I am shooting .357 out of a gun that weighs like 12 ounces. No Thanks. You also lose a lot of velocity of the projectile, because .357 doesn't utilize near its full potential coming out of a short barrel like that. Still a great piece if you got the dough.

Consider the S&W M&P semi auto series.. Its everything a glock is supposed to be. Shall I say, a Glock on steroids?

WOW.. 5 revolvers around your waist!!!! Better get yourself a good belt their buddy! I can say I admire your spirit..
Time for German and Dutch people to gather together and champion their G-d given rights to bear arms! Lot of these gun ban laws evolved from the nazis and communists to weakened the populace and make them at the mercy of the bureaucracy.
Anyway, back to the subject.. What are other people's handguns of choice...
