What is your idea of the perfect handgun battery?

Perfect handguns don't require batteries, Doc.

Couldn't resist saying that. Sorry.

Serious answer:

1) Fun plinker. An old Stoeger .22 Luger. Steel frame model with walnut grips.

Why? These are as fun to look at and handle as they are to shoot. Plus shooting a gun with toggle action is just always a neat experience.

2)Small game hunter. A 6" or 8" Browning Buckmark .22 with any good brand of pistol scope, or a TC contender in .22 with a good scope.

Why? The ease of repeatable accuracy I've experienced with both of these guns.

3)Pocket pistol. A S&W "undercover" chiefs special. The model with the old-style round shroud concealed hammer.

Why? I'm comfortable with one. I still like wheelguns. What more can I say?

4)Belt gun. My trusty semi-custom 4" S&W Model 19 .357.

OR a otherwise stock 1911A1 with tritium sights and a beavertail grip safety. Either or - as long as I can have speedloader or magazine pouches too.

Why? I'm comfortable with both of these guns from years of familarity and thousands of rounds fired.I am confident in my ability with them, and neither has ever let me down.

5)Big game gun. An 8" S&W Model 29 .44 magnum with open sights.

Why? The biggest game I hunt are whitetail deer and distances tend to be minimal in my areas due to thick undergrowth. Besides, I'm still just a bit intimidated by the .500 S&W -( I've yet to shoot one!)

I'm still working on my response to your "1908 expedition" question. Both great questions by the way.

1 - Fun plinker handgun: High Standard Victor (,22lr) fitted w/ a 7.5” fluted barrel and a UltraDot scope. I use this pistol for plinking and indoor bullseye. Extremely accurate. Fantastic trigger.

2 - Small game hunting handgun: Savage Striker (.17 HMR) 10” barrel w/ a Burris 2-7x scope. This is a wonderful small game gun because it shoots so flat, it is great for close and long distance shoots.

3 - Pocket/Concealment handgun: Smith & Wesson 457 (.45 ACP) 3.5” barrel. This is the most reliable automatic that I have ever owned. I have put every piece junk ammo you can imagine through this gun and it has never jammed.

4 - Service sized belt gun: Springfield Armory 1911A1 Gov. model (.45ACP) This like many other people is my favorite pistol.

5 - Big Game hunting handgun: Savage Striker chambered in 7mm-08. 15” bbl. Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x scope. There are several of us “Hand Cannon” guys at my gun club who go hunting annually for different big game. So far I have taken a White Tail and a Black Bear. I went Boar hunting one year, but “No Joy.”

While I'm sure that there are better guns to do the job in a couple of the areas; I do actually own these and know that they do a great job! A bird in the hand...

My idea of a handgun battery?

1. Plinker: Walter P-22

2. Small game: Ruger Single Six (w/extra .22 Mag. cylinder)

3. Pocket/(deep)concealment: Beretta 3032 .32 acp (stainless steel model w/Fiochi 60 grain hollowpoints

3. Service automatic: Glock Model 20 10mm w/nightsights & hi cap mags; Service revolver: Colt Python .357 Magnum 4" Satin Stainless finish with at least four speed-loaders

4. Big game hunting: (Pistol): Glock Hunter Model 20 10mm w/factory 6" barrel; (Revolver): Taurus Raging Bull .454 Casull w/8" barrel.

I think my choices are obvious since I've matched the caliber to the function. Since 'big game' can be anything from Peccary (State-side) to Water Buffalo I picked the 10mm or .454 Casull. If the handgun were just for backup I'd pick a .357 Magnum wheelgun with the first two cylinders loaded with snake-shot and the last four with 180 grain Federal Hardcast, again, for obvious reasons.

1 - Beretta U22 Neos 22lr

2 - Same as above

3 - Sig P225 9mm

4 - Springfield Armory 1911 Mil-Spec

5 - Thompson Contender .223

For the first two, I love my Beretta Neos. It shoots accurately, It comes with a built in top rail so I can add a red-dot sight if I want. .22lr ammo is cheap and the gun doesn't jam on me one bit. Gophers do seem to be allergic to it though :)

My Concealable gun would have to be my Sig 225. The gun is accurate, lightweight, and small in stature. Although it holds an 8-round single stack magazine, I know I can shoot those 8 rounds with precision while carrying it comfortably. The biggest selling feature is it's reliablility and its ability to feed every type of ammo I've fed it.

Ahhhh number 4, Whats not to like about a large frame 1911. It's .45 caliber and it goes BANG. The gun is a time tested design and one of the most recognizeable handguns in the world. The trigger pull is crisp, its easily customized, and looks damn sexy in stainless steel.

I love the contender due to its ability to change barrels and accurately fire many rifle calibers. Definatly one of the loudest guns I've fired in .223 but It's still a great gun and a decent hunter. I'm not sure if its a pistol or a carbine or what, but I have no stock and I love the gun none the less.

A FUN QUESTION TO ANSWER!!!

I own a couple of these and dream of having the rest at some point in my life haha!:

1. Plinker Handgun: I gotta love the Ruger Mark III with a red dot scope. I like the competition model with the heavy barrel on it.

2. Small Game Hunting Handgun: I really would like an S&W 647 .17 HMR. Built with the S&W quality and this particular model was known for its great accuracy! Plus it has that little extra speed with less damage than a .22 Mag. (They stopped making it though :-(... )

3. Pocket/Concealment: Springfield XD Sub-Compact chambered in the, I'm gonna start a war with this comment, amazingly brilliant .40 S&W round! However, my second choice would be the great little .45 micro-compact 1911 by Springfield Armory

4. Service Sized Belt Gun: In the polycarbonate playing field it would be hands down without a doubt and I would trust my life, my mother's life and an intruder's lack of life to the Springfield-Armory XD 40 S&W Service Model! In a 1911, yes I am a Springfield fan, I really dream of owning a Springfield-Armory 1911 A1 Customer. In stainless steel they are just a beautiful gun in both aesthetics and in functionality!

5. For Medium Game (deer, antelope, wolf, etc) I had to add the medium game handgun because in Northern Idaho there is a huge variation in the size of animals around here. Big game in Virginia= Whitetail Deer...Big Game here= Moose. Anyways, to the firearm: Ruger Redhawk in .44 Magnum with a Leupold VX-III 2.5-8x32mm Scope. In my opinion one of the most field proven revolvers (along with it's brother the blackhawk) with some very dependable glass on the top of it!

5. Big Game Hunting(moose, large bear, elk): I love the Model 460XVR Compensated Hunter with again, a Leupold VX-III 2.5-8x32mm! You just get a man-cannon that you can trust is built with the reliability and craftsmanship that is expected out of S&W. The 460 loaded with federal vital shok loads has the highest velocity, most energy and better range than the Casull and the 500! Most people think the 500 is the victor in this power but it only has the largest diameter round and lacks in power compared to the beefy 460! Don't believe me....look up the ballistics!

This is one of those questions that really doesn't have a wrong answer because everyone has their own experiences and preferences. However, that is what makes it so fun! It's neat to see what everyone likes and dreams about!

Mr. B Sorry I tried but there are just so many out there.

So..

Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share. They are notoriously risky but if you follow a special method I've learned you can earn good money at almost no risk. This is the site I use: http://pennystocks.toptips.org/

I definitely recommend subscribing to this site in particular. Very good research, quality stocks. I was a bit weary of penny stocks from all the bad hype they receive but this guy is pretty legit. He's put my mind at ease with a lot of the fears I've had. I especially like that he doesn't send out announcements left and right. I've signed up for other websites that fill my in-box with one company after the other. I don't know where to even start with so many choices in front of me! Nathan sends me one idea a week and that's all I need. Working so many hours during the week leaves me with very little time when I get home to start doing tons of penny stock research. I'm always eager to see what Nathan's next suggestion is each Friday and I love having time on the weekend to do my research.

As said above if you want to make money with penny stocks you have to follow some proven methods. This one in my opinion is the best: http://pennystocks.toptips.org/

1 - Fun plinker handgun / Any old .22 mag revolver

2 - Small game hunting handgun / Same as above!

3 - Pocket/Concealment handgun / S&W model 19 snub, big power in a small frame.

4 - Service sized belt gun / S&W 686 with a 4 inch barrel

5 - Big Game hunting handgun / Ruger Redhawk .44 mag with the 7.5 barrel

This is my {so far perfect} answer, from 30 some years of shooting. 1. S+W Model 422 .22LR with a 6" barrel with a rail mounted on top for a red dot sight and a trigger job. light weight and extremely accurate. 2. See #1 for small stuff up to rabbits and turkeys {with head shots}. CCI Stingers are the only thing I shoot in this gun. 3. Glock Model 22 .40 S+W with 180 gr. Speer Gold Dot HP's{conceals well with a pull over, my daily carry piece. 4. S+W 686 6" .357 with an Aimpoint on top and a Laser underneath. Deer + Antelope are daily fare with this combo and Skunks/Coyotes/Racoons at night with the laser. 5. Magnaported Ruger Redhawk 5 1/2" .44 Mag and factory supplied Express Sights with my hot 300 gr XTP's at 1350 fps @ 15' chronographed. This has taken 3 Elk, 2 Black Bears and numerous Deer {180JHP's}, and none have went more then 5 yards from point of impact.
