Never had the pleasure of a proper one , so want one of these

Seems there's a choice of three

1 k22
2 tsc/gsg
3 browning

I've handled all now . K22 seemed well made if a little light . Tsc seems to have a mixed reputation for some reason?

The browning seemed quite flimsy to me to be honest .

Thoughts and advice welcome !

Edit really not interested in a revolver , sorry if that's your thing , semi auto has always been mine .

3 browning

I have a browning I find it accurate and reliable.

Yeah it felt nice , but well seemed a bit lightweight tbh . I wanted sommat a bit heavier spose , not sure how that affects accuracy mind .

Maybe if I take my Rambo headband off whilst shooting :shakeshout:

You forget about the Sig 226 and the Volquartsen Mk III.

What's your budget?

LMR 1911.

The buckmark is pretty good, but didn't float my boat.

The LMR is good, but personally I don't think it's worth the extra over the TSC (which I have). My TSC did need some mild fettling to make it reliable though (polishing and an uprated recoil spring)

The K22. No thanks.

If I was doing it all over again, I'd buy the TSC.

I've got a GSG 1911. It's functioned perfectly out-of-the-box, with no fettling.

Having shot the base Buckmark (horrible balance) and had a play with the K22 (plastic-fantastic), the only LBP I'd swop the GSG for is the Ruger/Volquartsen (lovely looking and great balance).

My CZ 75 SPO1 hasn't a great balance front heavy, but shoots accurately and is one of the most popular handguns here.

I had an original 75 in the late 80's. Spur hammer, dished dust cover. I bought it second hand and it had seen some work when I'd got it. I must gave shoved another 70K through that before it became a man hold cover....

I'd very much like to give yours a go.....
