Thread: Handguns that Fit

Had a Sig P232 - Man I really liked that thing. It was a narrow single stack, functioned like a champ. One of the best things about it was you were able to put aftermarket grips on it. With the Houge's it just "fit."

Alas it was a .380 and I wanted at least a 9mm and some more firepower (capacity). Here's some pics of it in hand.


Just looking at the photo's makes me want to replace it .


After selling it and replacing it with a Block 26 (I like compacts), I note I really miss the thing. Though, I have to admit I don't much miss the .380 part of it, I note I really do prefer the handling of a single stack. Besides, I am not sure I really need the capacity of a double stack now either to be honest.

So I am hunting for a new pistol - I think I'll go back to a single stack. I am eyeing the Walther PPS but can't find one in town to handle. Handled an XPs at the gun show - loved the feel, but am not too sure about the pistol itself. Maybe I should handle a Sig P239?


Anyway what's the handgun that's just "fit" you??

I had a P232 as well. Same grips also. Loved it but it had to go when I moved from PA to NYC. I still miss it and would love to have it back.

Is there really any other choice? No,,,,,,,,

Wow - if I was ever to own and learn to use a firearm, I've always thought the .45's were the best looking hand guns I'd ever seen. The one that Patton carried was the nickel plated .45 was the one he carried wasn't it? Even the .45 Revolver is something I find really appealing.

I've never held or fired a hand gun in my life, only time I've seen one has been on a Police Officer. But those three guns in the pic, those are the one's I'd buy if I was to ever have to choose.

They are gorgeous, and if I'm not mistaken, there's a lot of history behind all the various .45's...

Very nice...

They're like razors Phrank, you'll buy one telling yourself "This is all I really need." & in a year you will have 5 more.

I agree with my friend Hirlau. If I had to have only one handgun; this would be it.

Actually, that would be a step down,,,,,the company president Mr. Bianchin looks a little young to have evaluated his product in the Guadalcanal-Iwo Jima test trials.
