OK, same question as the in the general rifle forum, only which pistol. Some malevolent entity has invaded the USA. C'mon, the Iranians have landed, which pistol do you take?
I chose these pistols, because they are all battle proven and have seen alot of combat.

Well, if your talking about parts
In the US, the 1911 or Berreta will be most available.
In western Europe, the Hi Power
In eastern Europe, the Makarov
Of course we are defending the US in this poll......

in the USA..in the rest of the world the Hi Power is far more popular
Yeah, but the rest of the world is stupid. :joker: (waits for flames)
Hi-Power is a great pistol (of course it is, it was designed by the best himself ) and it was even produced in .45 ACP
is one of the most-used military service pistols of all time. In fact, during World War II the Hi-Power, also known as the P-35, saw service not only with a number of the allied forces but was also used by the German military. :target:
MILITARY USE
The Model P-35 is one of the most widely used military pistols of all time. When it first appeared, it was immediately adopted by the Belgium military. Later, sales were made to Estonia, Lithuania, China, Peru and Romania. World War II interrupted further foreign sales.
When the Germans invaded Belgium, FN management refused to work for them. The factory was confiscated, and German management was installed to run it. Over 300,000 Hi-Powers were made for the German military. These pistols were designated as the Pistole 640(b).
The British, Canadian, Chinese and Greek forces used Hi-Powers made by the John Inglis Co. of Ontario, Canada. Hi-Powers were generally issued to Special Forces such as airborne and commando units.
After the War, FN resumed production of the Model 35. Postwar military pistols are designated as the Model 1946, while the civilian models are called simply the Hi-Power. The British Army adopted the P-35 as its official pistol to replace the Webley and Enfield .38 revolvers. Other countries also adopted the pistol for their military forces, including Argentina (where it was made under license), Denmark, Holland and Rhodesia.
The Hi-Power has enjoyed good civilian sales worldwide thanks to its cartridge, reliability and high-capacity magazine. The latter feature was considered by many to rank the pistol high as a combat arm. In the United States the Hi-Power and other FN arms were distributed by the Browning Arms Company starting in 1954.
the 1911 and as a back up a makraov. The 9x18 is extremly common with what are now considered threats to our nation. So getting ammo from their dead troops is a concern
