The best Single Stack designs - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

bear71 · 01-10-2007, 08:11 PM

My medium hands love the single stacks, I'm going to take away the easy ones:

1911, P220, P225, Kahrs.

The challenge, add some of the best single stack autoloader designs in a caliber 9mm or larger.

For people that lack big mitts, this thread should be very important in selecting models or building collections, your help is appreciated.

S&W Model 39 and 3913. Their 45s and 10mils aren't bad either.

Just don't get a 1911 mag loaded in it by accident. It will become completely inopperable. Phil Strader had it happen at the Big Dawg Chalenge last year.

I only use Ruger mags for my P345.

I figured you would. It was just something I noticed.

Yep, the 1911, SIG Sauer's P210, 220 and 225 are very nice. I love my 220 and 225 - they feel really good in the hand and are deadly accurate.

The Walther P-38 and P-08 Luger were also really nice single stack pistols.

Rugers are good guns, but not for small hands. I would have bought one, if my hands fit them, but they didn't. I liked the 'regular' Ruger 45 better than the P345, but the guy who let me try them liked the P345 better.

I love the way Sigs feel in my hands, but I haven't had the priviledge of firing one. But I do lust after them.

didn't the Luger have some safety issues? I thought there was more than one reason as to why the Germansasked for replacement designs and went with the P-38 from Walther. I know cost was one issue, but I thought safety was another important issue, something along the lines of a Luger being dangerous to carry with one in the pipe.

BTW the Luger factory after the second war had to scramble, and build thousands of Lugers for American GIs looking for souveniers.
