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 .

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?

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.....
