I'm surprised there are no makarov's mentioned.......very reliable design

Pistols I was issued:

M15 (S&W .38)
M1911A1 (Colt/Remington 45)
M9 (Beretta 9x19)
M11 (SIG 9x19)

Often had to "trust my life to" them w/o even firing them first! Best I could do was clean, lube, and function check them, hope they really worked.

Others I trust (OK, it's a long list):

Glocks in 9x19
Beretta 92/96/Px4
HK 9/40/357/45
Walther in 9x19
SIG P series, sig pro 9/40/357/45
CZ in 9x19
BHP in 9x19
S&W 4 digit series, M&P, J/K/L/N frame revolvers
Ruger P series in 9/45, Security/Service/GP/SP revolvers
Any well made 1911

You said "short list"

ericire12, why do you list Astra as a bottomdweller? I have 2 A-90's and I, other than the fact you can't find parts, think they are every bit as good as a Sig. Over 2000rnds. through each without a hiccup!
