Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

After my #1 the order can vary.

#1  Ruger Security-Six .357 Magnum. My first handgun and still going strong.
#2  1911 45 .acp. An American classic. Pick your personal favorite. The 1911 rocks!!!
#3  Ruger Red Hawk .44 Magnum. My first .44 Mag and they are built like a tank.
#4  1st Generation Glock 17. My first tupperware. Like a Timex, she has taken a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.
#5  Walther PPS, because it's small, reliable and accurate and because I carry it every day that I'm upright and out of the house............ I hope for more upright and out of the house days in the future. ;D

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

1) Ruger NM Single Six - First pistol that I bought when I was 17 and still shoot in 2-3 times a week when I'm ever home.
2) M1911A1- Got issued my first one in 1984 and turned last one in in 2008 (a 1916 dated 1911!).  Been on my hip or in a shoulder rig for 5 wartime deployments.  Only fight that it missed with me was the first Gulf War.


3) M9 Beretta- Carried since 87' til 07' in numerouns hostile zones and once carried suppressed in war.  Had has never failed me.


4) Smith K frame-2", 3' HB or 4" , Round or Square butt, blue or stainless, fixed or adjustable in either 38 or .357.  Came very close to ordering a new 3" M64 today from Smith.
5) Smith N frame- all legth or finish in .41 Mag, also came close to ordering a new Classic M57 from Smith (decisions, too many)



Honorable mentions
6) Coonan Model B .357 Mag auto-more power in a 1911, owned two
7) HK P7 PSP-very accurate, realiable and fast into action, my first auto I bought after basic in 83.
8) Smith J frame-Just ordered a new M442 No Lock from Smith today

 CD, Have you SHOT the Coonan, I've always been interested in them because I like the 1911, and I like the .357 cartridge.
Getting them in the same package would be great .

Wise choice IMO.  I just expected to see it on nearly everyone's list though.
