I like different make, model, and calibers. So I go for reliable and dependable makes.

I'm a casual fan of firearms but when it comes to handguns I like the classics.

I'll take .45 in Colt 1911's and my .38/.357 in S&W revolvers ... maybe the odd Ruger Security Six too

Cool idea for a new post.

For those who want 'em, poly strikers are fine...but I'm not one of those folks. My flavor is 1911 because they speak to me (whatever the heck that means but sounds better than "turns me on" or "excites me").

I like .45 ACP a lot, so most of my handguns are in this caliber. 9 mm is fine but I enjoy shooting the .45s more. 9 has a nicer price, though. Recently had an opportunity to fire a .38 Super and really liked it. Liked it enough to purchase a guardian in this caliber. Should arrive later this week.

I like 1911s that shoot well, fit my hand well, nice balance, good fit and finish, and are pleasing to my eye. Examples of pleasing to the eye: I was attracted to my Baer Monolith because it looks so powerful. On the other hand, I loved the finely crafted lines of my DW PM-9, and ECO.

Hope this is what you were askiing.

Rick

I only buy 1911's anymore. Have a block, Ruger that are not 1911 but the rest are 1911. I like the .45 and that is my normal purchase but I love the 10MM.....My preference would be a 10MM. You have to reload though so that brings back the .45 for playing around.
I am very satified with only ever shooting 1911's from here on out!

I choose caliber first, could be 9 or 45, then the platform for it based on ergos/size and mission statement.
