Re: best combat handgun of all time
i would semi have to agree. i used the soc model for a number of years myself and i have absolutely zero complaints. mags are easy to carry, it will put a target down easily and it fits my hand nicely. the only other choice i would go with if i was given the option would be a glock 21 or 21c. i used that in place of the the soc during a couple swat schools i attended and i had zero issues with it other than the grip being a little large for my hand. an instructor i worked with during one of the courses had put 100,000 rounds through his and other than oiling it had never actually cleaned his training weapon. it would stick on occasion but other than that zero stoppages or malfunctionsTGBSupplements REP

Re: best combat handgun of all time
The 1911 is a beast. As far as a combat handgun id have to agree. It's sturdy and the round is a man stopper. I carried a glock 22 for years. Found it to be great firearm especially for room clearing and an urban environment. The .40 round is pretty good, a nice mix of stopping power with the ability to have higher capacity mags.There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

Re: best combat handgun of all time
i love my 1911 but for combat i would rather have higher capacity. a striker fired M&P or glock would be my choice. hell glock parts are so prolific one could almost get them at 7-11. I have never had 1 glitch in my 1911 and shoot it better than my M&P by a small margin but 8 rounds. i would also rather shoot 9mm+P than .45.
.45 standard 9mm
Muzzle Energy 369 lb/ft (230gr at 850FPS) 304 lb/ft (124gr at 1050FPS)
with +p velocities over 1300fps one can get lb/ft numbers well over 400. and isnt that what we want? more transferred energy?
and still have less recoil than a standard .45.
if i was in a combat situation which i have never been and hope never to be. i would not be upset if i found myself with my trusty STI 1911 on my hip.

Re: best combat handgun of all time
I don't have any field experience just a gun enthusiast but the HK USP 45 is one hell of a gun. I believe some branches of the armed forces carried it or maybe even still do. I own one and it is my absolute fav. I would pick it over my Glock any day."You don't know how strong you are until strong is your only option."

Re: best combat handgun of all time
combat handgun means it was carried by / issued to a largish quantity of people, though small in number i also add the weapons that special ops folks carry. special ops get's extra points cause these guys are very proficient with their weapons, if they choose it their is a reasonold powerlifter/bench press specialist

Re: best combat handgun of all time
lots of love for the 1911. anybody field strip a 1911? glock may be the fastest i know of. M&P easy most modern pistols very easy.
again love 1911s but too many downsides to be the BEST combat pistol. it is not which one you like best but which one is best
