Pistol Poll

[Jay7]

Main carrys are a TM P226 and a KSC M1911 but these are used as back up to primarys.Pistols are great for indoors and CQBs,but theres not much of that in my neck of the woods.

[Kuutti]

At the moment I use a KJ Works Ruger Mk1 pistol as primary. It shoots around 400-430 fps, which is too much for cqb but good for woodland because it slices through brush. It's decently accurate and I use it for a primary while awaiting the arrival of my M324. The DAO trigger pull is very heavy but if you want pure volume of fire it can be squeezed to the tune of 3 rps.

Great gun, I even got bored and figured how to trigger the mag release with one hand so I could run dualies (not that I would). I love it... it makes this sharp, echoing BAP BAP BAP when it shoots.

 

My secondary for the ruger (a secondary for a secondary?) is a cheap HFC nbb called the HGX-108 or some such... it's basically a colt 1908 compact with a silencer. Loads of fun, but to hit anything I have to stand a few yards away, hold it at the hip with one hand on grip and one on silencer, and pop away. Great fun, probably holds record for number of rounds/fillup: 49 in a gun smaller than my hand.

 

I also have a few cheap springer pistols, excluding the KWC M1991 which is actually decent quality.

 

Plans for the future include two cyma G18cs with extended mags and silencers, transporter 2 style, or an mp7 if I suddenly become rich

 

US woodland ftw

[RWJP]

I have a cheapy springer P99 in a dropleg as a back up... I've only ever bang killed a person with it, but it's always there just in case until I get myself the 1911 i'm pining after...

[Pulsipher]

I have an assortment of pistols and i love pulling them out when appropriate at games and letting rounds off, got a stack of guys at a game a few years back with just my pistol

[Josiah Hull]

I have two, a Marui MK23 and a WE 1911 tactical I picked up for $20

 

I have used the 1911 about every time I bring it on the field. I have even used it when it was 40 degrees out (it only shot about 8 times until the mag ran out of gas)

 

My field requires them for any marksman qualified person using their approved weapons (Sniper rifles, LMG's,DMRs over 400) so mine are carried whenever I take the VSR out.

 

They have their place, and are a lot of fun to use on the field

[malavern]

I never go on a field without my (Airsoft Surgeon/CL) Custom Marui - SVI

 

And yes, I use it alot!

Double tap FTW!

So many ppl hate me in HK for using this one them! ^^

[DanHS]

I carry a KSC G19 with a Madbull tightbore and Guarder mag release in a Serpa on my belt. I use it on occasion, my M733 is very reliable and I'm usually shooting from such range that I don't need the backup when reloading during a firefight, but it's always good to have, especially if things get too close for the 733 as it's rather powerful. I used the Glock twice recently when my AK jammed (apparently AE .25s jam in the Marui barrel it has, despite the barrel being polished and the gun clean as a whistle). Recently I was using a low powered gun just for kicks in an intense game that was a lot of fun, ran out of ammo and dropped the AEG for the Glock. I got two kills and a safety kill in the space of a minute (against two AEG users and a sniper), allowing me to grab two of the three items I had to bring back to the base, a friend grabbed the other and we won. Usually it doesn't go so well for me, I need to practice my handgunning a lot more. It's a lot of fun to have the blowback, I'm thinking of getting a second G19 and playing with the handguns more so I can get better with them, and have more fun because it's always the more challenging games that I work really hard at and do well that I find most fun.

[FireKnife]

I have finally crawled back up the pistol trail with a KSC USPc, a TM 1911A1 and a Army Detonics Chrome.

 

Now to get a M9 of some form and be set.

 

'FireKnife'

[Atty]

I just bought myself a TM M1911A1. Its beautiful... I will probably be using this as a primary until I get my P90 back up and running, which fortunately should be relatively soon. Can't wait to use it in a skirmish. I'm a pistol kind of guy.

[Atty]

I skirmished yesterday with my new pistol and love it. Tempts me not to buy another rifle and to just buy more mags for it. It has become a primary for now.

[Shardik]

I use mine quite abit, I have my pistol setup perfectly, in conjunciton with a 1 point sling on my rifle, so the draw and target aquistion, is far faster than reloading. Its also very usefull for going around corners, through doorways ect, When an AR can be more cumbersome.

 

None of this 'stealth' lark.

[TRISTAN]

I have only used my pistol at one skirmish as I keep forgetting to buy co2 capsules for it,

so it gets left at home. Fortunately it hasn't really been needed, but i will be using it for

future games.

[A Tobias]

pulling out the pistol just makes me feel like such a boss!

pistol kills are so much more satisfying than anything other that sniper kills

[Versus]

Honestly, I probably have the most fun when my primary gets shot out and I have to pull out my sidearm. Having realized this, I'll be having a TM Desert Eagle with some TM scope rings, spare mag, and an NCStar Pistol 2x scope (MGS4 Meryl Custom!) in a week or two. 8^D

 

Say, anyone know of a holster that might fit that beast? I'd LOVE some sort of ISPC holster for it, but that's a *just a little* bit of a stretch. But hey, if there are any universal holsters that grab the gun by the trigger guard, and would fit it, lemme know...

[thewallhitme]

after a while, ive realised that i carry a pistol 90% of the time, and of that 90%, 90% of the time it doesnt get used.

[dusseldorf101]

Got a TM M93r. Rapes all submachine guns in any close quarter situation!! Being a sniper i patrol with a pistol and then set up and enguage targets with my L96. Tis all i need to get out of a sticky situation.

[Moofner]

I own 3. 2 GBBs...

 

A detonics .R45 and a Glock 19.

 

The third is a Cyma Desert Eagle AEP. I always carry this one in a leg holster and use it in buildings or when all else fails. I really enjoy dual wielding with this and my MP5K.

 

I also like the idea that at 220-240 FPS in close quarters buildings I'm not going to severly injure someone as I seem to naturally aim for the high chest/head when startled.

[Maraak]

I own a Socom Gear MEU 1911 (gbb) and always carry it as a backup. Its very useful for me when carrying the m14 dmr, and someone gets to close, or I have to bail. I've gotten maybe 4 kills with it, but I've only had it for a couple of months. (Not alot of play where I live =p)

[Mikhailthejackal]

Got my stock Tm P226 which is a reliable workhorse and becomes my main for some CQB games as well as my KSC sig pro 2009 which hasnt been skirmished yet as its still in for repairs.

I use real caps all the time so the pistol comes out on average once every two games.

[mrcheaterson]

I love my KWC Tanfoglio Witness, even though , yes it's a springer with a fussy 12 rd mag that you have to carry separate or it will fall out in the holster.

 

Why?

'Cause when you hit a concealed sniper from 150 ft nothing is better than the look on their face.

this happens often, especially because I need more mags for my primaries for longer games.

 

I favor springers for secondary and tertiary weapons, usually because you don't use them often enough for a need to be gas, and they get beat up a fair bit, even in the holster.

And F-auto gbb? some good those are with 20rd mags (five seconds of awesome, then you're standing with a empty gun.

 

Note: KWC Tanfoli, if you find one get it, I got mine and it changed my mind about spring pistols. (Now I gotta go hold it and hunt for more to buy)

[Matthiaz]

2 G19's that tend to get used every skirmish I attend... It gives me much more satisfaction hitting someone with a GBB pistol than with an AEG.

[TeowneD]

i have KJW m9, tm sig, and KSC g19 that take turns to go to a skirmishes. i agree with Matthiaz, it is very satisfiying to "kill" someone with a pistol. i once double tapped a guy in the forehead . i use my pistols when i get bored with my rifle, or when i get fussy about turning tight corners in CQB. i'v been a lot of bad situations where i run out of ammo and need to draw my pistol. they can be lifesavers. i recommend bringing a pistol to every game, especialy CQB .

 

 

[vince]

WE 1911, KSC USPc and a knackered Tanaka P226.

 

Any chance I get to use the USPc I'll gladly take it. I've had my M4 die on me for a variety of reasons mid-game, so being able to sling it over my back and charge forward with my pistol is a godsend.

[crotmate]

i use my pistol if im under fire and cant reload quickly, it doesnt have as much range or accuracy as my AEG but it puts rounds down so i find it useful to carry

[SFCHAVOK]

I have always carried one. I don't think I'll ever go to a game without one. That being said I rarely will have to go to my pistol. Yet it has happened and I've used it quite a bit in MOUT type games.
