GLOCK 22 .40 S&W

For you 1911 fans out there. Springfield Armory Custom in .460 Rowland.

But the best ever made, S&W Model 25 .45 Colt

M-4. Why use a pistol when you can use a carbine?

If I, for some strange quirk of fate, had only those two weapons to choose from, I'd pick Glock. They're simply more comfortable to me.
Carbine inflames sentiments of residents.
Your commander may not allow you to have a carbine on patrorl.
M1911 is the best pistol I've ever seen.

Actually it's more the white people carrying the carbines in the scenario here. Indigs hauling around Kalashnikovs don't seem to worry residents too much.

I have a soft spot for the M1911A1 just like I do for the M1 Garand and the M1 Carbine. I've put thousands of rounds through them and, hopefully, will continue to do the same. I am, however, under no illusion that they are modern combat alternatives. Sentimentality is a dangerous thing when it comes to equipping troops.

Hmmm, the whole scenario doesn't seem right to me.
Firstly, why are you worrying about what pistol is "your favourite".
If it comes to using your pistol then something has gone horribly wrong.
Anything that puts rounds down range in that situation is good enough.

Secondly, for your info. I'd want the Browning L9A1 9mm HP. It is battle proven. It might be old, and might only have an effective range of 25m, but if it's good enough to be the side arm of the Australian army, then it's good enough for me.

The walther p99 is the best pistol i've ever used.(although I would love to fire a glock 18 on full auto or try out one of the monster calibre autos).
Like the specs on the cztt although i,ve never handled one.
I agree with aussienick the Browning HP is tried and tested so I would have to choose that for my weapon of choice if nescessary to use a pistol.
