PISTOLS
GLOCK
Glock pistols are easily one of the most reliable pistols to ever be made! Our personal favorites are the GEN 3 variants. But the GEN 4, GEN 5 and the newest variant "V" are equally reliable. They are literally "LEGOS" for adults! The aftermarket parts are very plentiful. Specific models for recommendation: G19, G19(X) G17, G34, 43X, G45, G48. Preferably MOS variants to add optics.
PISTOLS
SIG SAUER
Regardless of the controversy around the SIG P320, SIG SAUER makes some of the finest pistols to ever be made. We personally have multiple P320's and have NEVER had ANY issues with any of them. The biggest issue with the P320 is the end user! Modifications should ONLY be performed by a CERTIFIED SIG ARMORER. Specific models for recommendation: P320, M17 / M18, P365, and ALWAYS the P226.
PISTOLS
BERETTA
The Beretta 92 aka M9 has been around for quite some time. The military used them for 32 years. Nearly every military member has used them with GREAT success. Granted most of the issued M9s were beat to death. Regardless if you get a new M9A4, I believe you will be more than satisfied! Recommendation: M9, M9A1, M9A2,M9A3, M9A4(Optic ready)
PISTOLS
Heckler & Koch
Heckler & Koch aka HK are another great example of German engineering! The HK pistols are easily the most comfortable pistols to place in your hands. They are extremely reliable and very accurate. With my choices to pick from, a striker fired or hammer fired pistol, either one will get the mission completed!
Recommendation: VP9 Series, P30 Series, and the USP Series
