I can say it however I god damn please clip,magazine,the large thing at the bottom of the gun. so what I does not matter I can say it how I like.
But to give an opinion on all six.
USP
Good sidearm if you’re SOF, but .45 is too bulky and slow to be an all-rounder cartridge, and the gun itself is too big for a practical carry.
1911
Historically significant, very cool. But the cartridge’s drawbacks are worsened by the severely lacking mag size.
PPK
Yet again, super cool, it’s a cinematic icon, and a magnificent concealed carry gun. The antithesis of the previous two, it’s dimminuitive size and cartridge hold it back from being an all-rounder, but if you take off the comically large suppressor, it’s an ideal self-defense gun.
Glock
The 9mm cartridge is a good jack of all trades round, powerful enough to stop a man at decent ranges, controllable enough to hit more than the first shot without needing to take your sweet time, and enough penetration for light body armour.
Glocks aren’t what I’d call my ideal 9mm, but at their price point, you should either hold your tongue or save up for a big boy nine like a sig.
Luger
The history and cool factor is there, but there’s a lot of good reasons it’s got (well deserved) cult-status, rather than ongoing market dominance. DE stands for dick envy, right?
If not for the fact that Israeli border guards use it for shooting out cars rigged with IEDs, I’d assume someone looked at every practical drawback of the 1911, and thought they could take it to it’s logical conclusion, then market it to videogame/hollywood babies and accountants with more money than self-esteem. kappa
The Obrez was the child of the bolshevs’ need for concealable assassination weapons and an inability to get mosin revolvers.
It’s a creative but… excessive third option.
Also, revolvers are obsolete in anything oustside of big-game hunting sidearms.
Their excessive bulk, recoil, and poor ergonomics, refire rate, and reload time, combined with their dimminuitive capacity finds them outclassed in every practical aspect.
Need an all rounder? Get a sig. Need bang for your buck? Glock. Penetration? FN 5.7mm. Need a concealed carry? PPK.
The only time a revolver is a clear cut winner is when a very large, very angry animal is too close for your rifle.

Glock doesn’t interest me one bit. It’s everywhere and it looks plain.
But the other Wondernines such as the Browning Hi Power and SigSauer P226 look like cool guns.
@SeraphimDawn
I personally prefer revolvers over pistols,only pistols I like is the m1911 and the desert eagle,and also the Walter,I hate the glock and m9.To me there just rip-offs of the m1911.
@The Last Reviewer
I guess it’s because people aren’t as interested in bolt action rifles these days.
Apparently the Nagant m1895 revolver that was made by the same guy and company, Russian/Soviet military sidearm until until the 1950s is said to have had a cult like following much like Americans are with their 1911s. It was their iconic revolver.
@The Last Reviewer
Actually, that was WW1-ish.
Mosin Nagant had been in Russian service since late 19th century to the end of ww2. But even after and to this day, stockpiles of rifles ended up elsewhere around the world being used by militias or by civilians. I think they are still encountered weapons in today’s wars. The 7.62x54R cartridge that were originally made for the Mosin Nagant is still being used in the Dragunov sniper rifles.
That is a very LONG continued service life for a cartridge.
It was primarily used by Bolshevik revolutionaries as a improvised conceal weapon during the Russian Revolution until they seized access to arsenals of Nagant Revolvers.
Triple also, .50AE is useless in 99% of real life circumstances, and are just to compensate for “dimminuitive firepower” elsewhere. (That 1% being shooting a car’s engine block)
