I love firearms of a bygone era: quality revolvers and lever-action rifles of matching caliber.

Notice that I specified “quality” above. That translates to incredible reliability.

Nevertheless, a close second in my mind is a quality semi-auto pistol and carbine in matching calibers.

As a business owner and a nationwide firearm instructor, this is one of the best articles I’ve read in awhile.
Except for the Canik recommendation. Great article. I owned 2 and sold them. Yes they are easy to clean and the trigger is outstanding but that’s it.
S&W and Glock all the way.

I suppose all the Glock fans would agree but personally I prefer the 1911 in .45. I want that manual safety. Having said that I also have a few 9 mm’s however with manual safeties or double action with a decocker. As an aside, I don’t think .40 S&W is dead. 12 rounds of .40 will do the trick and if not, as a wise man once said,” you should be fighting your way to a rifle.

Canik? No thanks to Turk guns. Buy American, buy a S&W M&P2.0 or a Ruger RXM. For imports, CZs are nice but hard to find and H&Ks are nice but expensive for little additional gain. Walthers that Caniks are a copy of are underrated but getting up there in price.

Striker-fired? Meh.

I’ll stick to old-school hammer-fired every day of the week.

(Please excuse me while I adjust my shawl and put a new rubber tip on my cane…)
