) Also I especially want to know abou the Browning Hi-Power since i know the least about it so if you have any expierience with it please share it. Oh and just kidding with that Desert Eagle by the way I'm having ..or had, maybe..the same problems. I'm not quite sure what to buy. And I can't buy it for some months to come...most likely.
My gun will have to be included on the IPSC Production list, so, unfortunatly, for my part the Hi Power is out - and the BDA9 is in. Sadly. Because there is no other I'd rather have than the HP MK4S.
Anyways, John Browning designed the HP to "correct" minor "fault" on the 1911. Some say he did a good job, others are too fanatical about their 1911 to even look twice on the HP :wink: Calibers set aside, I'd rather have a HP (or BDA9...) than a 1911. Size n' shape are the reasons for that.
I'm also considering the SIG P226-AL-SO with a threaded barrel. It's a tad on the expensive side, but what the heck, the police wont let me buy many more handguns..so those I buy might as well be something special. Everyone knows that all the big boys are using SIGs..and few have anything negative to say about them. Although, Sweden did swap their SIGs for Glocks (wasn't it) after the SIGs had worn out after 7-8000 rounds. If you really can't expect to have a SIG surviving more than 8000 rounds - well, if that's true I'm going back to a FN BDA9.
Glock is for me one of the best choices for a carry weapon. In my days as a military guard commander I carried a G17. Its light weight, big magazine and simple operation are important aspects in my eyes for a carry weapon. But, for my situation, in a country where we aren't allowed to carry weapons, it's too dull to bring to the range for some happy plinking. Granted, apart from the MP-446 Viking winning this year, a Glock is usually found on the top of the lists in the Production class...they are good.
I haven't had much experience with the USP series. What I can say is that I really didn't like the USP9 Compact. And I don't like the standard USP...so I'd be left with the Tactical or Tac9. Now after a year of Mk23 shooting I guess I should tinker with a USP again to see if my opinion has changed.
The best thing you could do is find a pistol range with plenty of people and weapons - and start talking with people about their weapons. You'll learn a lot of first hand experience, and most likely they'll let you squeeze of a few rounds. That's better than anyone here can do for you over the forum.
