second most favorite handgun you own

[shooting1911s]

I'm not sure if you are like me, but my favorite handgun I currently have is a Les Baer Mono, beautiful gun in every aspect and it shoots so smoothly. Since I prize this gun so much, I only take it out for special occasions. Not wanting to over use my favorite gun I bought a SpringField TRP and it has now become my second favorite and most used gun for me when I go out shooting. Are there people out there with the same mind set? If so, let us see what it is

Great pair. I have a hard time picking a favorite let alone second. Like picking a favorite child.

My first is my Gen 4 Glock 26, my second is a built Gen 5 Glock 49. As these are my SD/Battle pistols, they are always my first and second no matter the category they are in. They also have their twin back ups in the safe, tested and ready to go.

I no longer have safe queens nor collect or buy anything other than mags and ammo these days. I run what I practice and I practice what I run.

So far, my Sig SP2022, straight out the box, was awesome.

For me, it's got to be my Ruger GP100 .357. It is so fun to shoot .38 specials out of. It is my son's favorite.

My second favorite is my MP 9MMC 2.0, which goes IWB. My first is a Taurus 7 shot 2" 38/357 which is my EDC. Right in there with the second is my Ruger Max 9. If I need to be a little more discrete the Max 9 is in the pocket, and not the 7 shooter. 

Edited to add; all these have 2nds and 3rds in the safe except the Max 9.

Geez! I guess it’s a toss up between my Ruger Max9, S&W 442 or Ruger LCP Max. It just depends on the situation. But my normal everyday carry is a Glock 21 now.

My favorite single handgun is my S&W Model 18 .22 revolver. This thing is just too much fun and goes along on every range trip.  But arthritis in my hands is making centerfire revolvers hard for me to shoot these days. 

My favorite TYPE of handgun is the good old 1911. Any make, any model any caliber. It just fits me so well. 

Ok, for number 2, I'll go with the Hi-Power. Another gun that falls into my hand like it was made for it. My favorite 9mm.

My STI 1911 is probably my favorite to shoot and look at...I would say the handgun I would grab when it's time to go is the Sig P320 XCarry though.

It's a tough question of course, but I would have to say my second favorite is this Les Baer .45 factory built on a Strayer-Voigt (aka Infinity) double stack 2011 frame.   They did a few limited runs of these in the late 90s/early 00s timeframe for a distributor called CFI.   They pop up from time to time on Gunbroker and I kept my eyes open for about 10 years before this one came along.  The idea of a tight, super accurate Baer gun built on the double stack frame (that is lighter than the steel Para P14s of the time) seems like an awesome combination to me.

My favorite is my CZ 75 compact with truglo tfx night sights. Love that thing to bits. My second favorite currently is my CZ P-07 gen 2.

Say hello to my little friend! This little buddy has won a place of respect in my carry collection.

Same here. I'm not sure it my second favorite or tied for first withe my stainless Colt XSE commander. 

The GP100s are a hell of a gun. Ruger knocked that model out of the park.

Mine is my S&W 642. I bought it on a whim when they were on sale at Rural King about 10 years ago for less than $300. Now that I've changed careers and wear dress pants and suits more often I find myself carrying it more and more. I still prefer my Glock 48 for daily carry but this has turned into a gun I love to both shoot and carry.
