As the title says what type of handgunner are you? I'll start....
I have my basic military experience and have hunted for years. I only recently got into handgunning. My overall reason is self defense and I am waiting on my CCW. I plan to start shooting IDPA...... more for training than competition.
I look for reliability and value in my guns. I don't have a lot of money to spend so bang-for-the-buck is VERY important to me. I want to know that when I pull my weapon it is gonna fire. It doesn't have to be the fanciest but it does have to work. Now I know some people will say that if reliability is so important then I should I should use a revolver but the trade-off in ammo capacity is not worth it. I like semi-autos....what can I say. I also don't want to have to do a lot of modding to my gun. I want it to work out of the box.
I currently own a Springfield XD-40 and a Taurus PT1911. In the future I would like to get a .357 revolver and possibly a 9mm. I have put over 600 rounds (from cheap to good) thru my XD and haven't had a single failure. I pick up my PT1911 on Friday and will post a range report after I break it in.
Well that's me....so what about everyone else?
