I have yet to read one single legitimate reason, from anyone, why one certain handgun is better than the other. All I've read was a bunch of senseless bickering.When I was growing up, if this came about regarding cars, the arguement would be settled on Friday night at the drag strip. LOL. Well what do you want us to do DA? Fly across the country and have a shootout and torture test? Thats what we have the magazines for. I'm the same way when it comes to cars and motorcycles. I have had my share of A*holes talking smack about my 02 Camaro Z28 and my 03 GSX-R1000. After we race they usually stop talking. |

Someone can start off with talking about the many contributions that a manufacturer has contributed to the handgun industry, both now and the past. They can also mention how the manufacturer has influenced others in the industry, as well as the many who enjoys the pleasure of having such firearms. They can also mention the manufacturer's contributions to further developing better handguns through the history in this country. While your looking up things to mention, do not forget what made the handgun a popular item during a lawless time in the Old West.I think we are beginnning to get close; or do you want to here more ? Alright; How about a pop Question? Who retained the services of John Moses Browning, which resulted in the development of the most copied semi-auto pistol of the 20th century? I think most already know the answer to that one, so I'll refrain from going into why their infamous double action .357 magnum revolver hasn't lost it's touch after almost 50 years of production. I could go on to mention how important the Combat semi-auto was at a time when one shot stops were a life threatening concern for the soldiers on a battlefield, on horseback, or while being charged by overwhelming odds by opposing ground forces, but I'll leave that one to your imagination. I would find it senseless to ramble on how simple a handgun can be, to where it can be detailed stripped, down to the bare frame, using nothing more than it's own parts for tools. We Americans are big and bold about waving our flags on certain occassions, but when it comes to putting our money where our mouth is, we find very quickly where the loyalties are laid to rest. Some call me Coltman; around here I'm known as Double Action.

We Americans are big and bold about waving our flags on certain occassions, but when it comes to putting our money where our mouth is, we find very quickly where the loyalties are laid to rest. Some call me Coltman; around here I'm known as Double Action. James Bond is now carrying the Walther P99. A 9mm and S&W .40 caliber weapon, the P99 is fast becoming the most sought-after handgun around. Charles E. Petty, Guns Magazine May, 1997 "Shooting the P99 was simply a great experience. There were no malfunctions. Feeding was smooth and ejection positive." "The P99 will do nothing but enhance their (Walther) image, and the future hold some interesting promises." David W. Arnold, Handguns May, 1997 "My overall impression of the Walther P99 is that it is a well-made auto pistol that is rugged and reliable." Tom Graham, Combat Handguns Buyer's Guide 1998 "In my opinion, the Walther P99 is the forerunner of the next generation of polymer framed service pistols. Ligh-weight, accurate, very reliable and durable, the P99 offers a number of very well-designed features not found on any other handgun of this type." "Walther has once again stepped into the design forefront with the P99, a pistol that is bound to have the same impact on the future of combat handguns." Also read this... www.whog.org/p99/The_Fighting_P99.htmAnd this... Walther Traditional... - More than 100 years experience in the field of firearms technology. - More than 1 million pistols sold. - More than 500,000 pistols worldwide used by police forces and military. - Certificate DIN EN ISO 9001. - Certified according to the "Technische Richtlinien Polizei"(technical guidelines for the police force).   Walther has been around way before the Sigs, Glocks and H&Ks...I doubt many would disagree with me when I say that Walthers history is extremely rich. For me to go through Walthers history would take hours. I'm sure you're familiar with Walthers history DA. I've already listed ALL my reasons for worshipping the Walther P99 numerous times. It simply takes too much time to do so. Why don't you get into Sigs history and list why you're so obsessed with your Sig collection? I'm sorry but I just feel that no matter what I say that its not going to be enough for you. I have more than my share of reasons loving the Walther P99. |

Jonathon; What planet are you from? You still do not get it. You a one gun guy,who knows nothing more than the gun you just bought into. Please don't patronize my patience any further on this; I have other members and other issues to tend to, which is far more pressing than this one.

Please don't patronize my patience any further on this; I have other members and other issues to tend to, which is far more pressing than this one. Oh please DA. Give me a f*cking break. I have a life beyond this forum you know. You don't know jack sh*t about me beyond my gun interests. Don't pass judgement on someone because they don't want to give you a four page report on the history of the gun they just bought. If you haven't noticed, Walthers history is a great deal longer than your SIGs history. I DON'T HAVE THE TIME NOR DO I HAVE THE PATIENCE for such a thing. I don't have anything to prove to you. I don't feel that I need to further justify my purchase than I already have. Its a never ending story with you. You ask me to state why I love and purchased the P99 in which I posted numerous times. Now you're asking for the f*cking history of the Walther!! Why should I when I can post a link? Get off my case DA...Don't worry, I won't ask you any more questions. |

It sounds like I'm not the only one sick of hearing Jonathan's asanine posts about why he likes the P99.
Jonathan, DA talks from alot of experience and knowledge, you do not! Why don't you go learn about guns in general, then come back and make some posts that are actually constructive.

You're just pissed because I don't find the H&Ks to be the greatest handguns of our time. I couldn't care less of what you or anyone else thinks of me on the internet. We're all biased here. DA is bias towards the SIGS. You're bias towards the H&Ks and I'm bias towards the Walther. Get over it!! |

My favorite pistol (auto)has got to be my Sig P229. I have my brain trying to get me to buy a P226R now too. S&W revolvers also have great appeal to me. I had the custom action job done at S&W on my 686. I love to see shooters faces when they squeeze of a round in SA. ;D ;D ;D They all say the same thing "WOW"

Well 100 Replies and I STILL think Ruger is the best manufacturer. I sure am learning a lot about human nature, though. ;D Let's disconnect the quote button. PEACE OUT.

Yes, please don't bother to quote, especially the long quotes. It doesn't really help much. It's better to just address the member by name. We can all read his last post.

Boy did this thread turn to crap! It's all about a snot nosed kid whose friends parents drive German luxury cars and hasn't been around long enough to be an expert in anything, fighting about his beliefs in the best cars, guns, motorcycles and so on. It is great to have your own opinions and beliefs, but you need to know when to shut up. There is a great wealth of knowledge on this forum that you can tap when you need it. Slamming guys that were deep into handguns when you were deep into a diaper will not serve you in any way.
