Posting a tier list of my most enjoyable handguns, both currently and formerly owned. This is not speaking of their quality, just how much I enjoy them. Nobody will likely see this. Hi-Point Tier: •JHP-45 -Enough said. Just kiddin, they’re manufactured down the road so I need one. Mine is not reliable like most expect, but I never shoot it anyway. S Tier: ———— Glock 26 Gen 4 •The best handgun all around for everything I need a handgun for. Upgrades are: OEM NY1 trigger spring, OEM “–”disconnector, OEM metal night sights, Kagwerks raised slide release, and a Vickers mag release. Beautiful. S&W Bodyguard 2.0 •Peak pocket carry in 2026. Not my preferred way of carrying, but something I find myself doing more often. I have large hands and still get a 3 finger grip on it. The snappy allegations are unfounded and retarded. A Tier ———— Glock 22 Gen 3 •I like .40S&W, you’ll see more on the list. You can laugh. I don’t like 9mm in full size handguns, it feels like I’m wasting the potential of a full size gun. It’s known that Gen 3 has the best aftermarket models out of all Glocks, but I personally just prefer the mag release over other Gens. Springfield Garrison •I always wanted a nice 1911 without breaking the bank. Got it used for $499 which is not good but not bad. Smooth as hell, but I learned why I don’t like the 1911 much. There’s just a lot going on with a complete strip job. Really good at its price however and I love shooting it. M&P9 2.0 Compact OR •It’s a polymer frame compact handgun, with the benefit of having a more comfortable grip than the compact Glocks. Just as good as a Glock in my books. Sig P250 Compact •Kind of off the wall. Modular polymer frame DAO that has compatibility with the P320. Wasn’t a huge commercial success but I also got it for $299 with the .45ACP X-Change kit and 10 mags for both. Best DAO trigger I’ve ever felt. A P320 but not gay. S&W CSX •Just a neat carry gun. Not too many options like it on the market. People loved to hate it for no reason leaving aftermarket support nonexistent, but I love her. B Tier (Gonna speed some of these up) ———— CSX E-Series 3.6in •Better than the original but I made the mistake of the longer barrel. Buy the 3.1in. Beretta 92FS Y2K Edition •Bought it as a good deal. Bulky as hell and not entirely my type. Smoothest action ever but sold it to a Beretta nerd when I realized it was slightly limited edition. Glock 19 Gen 3 •it’s a Glock 19 Gen 3. Not much to be said. Glock 22 Gen 4 •Same as the Gen 3…BUT with a worse mag release. FN FNS-9 •Reliable with great stock features, but the plastic is the worst feeling of the big names in the polymer game Beretta Jetfire •Fun as Hell but not fun finding .25ACP. I do love mouse guns tho. Bought from a Russian immigrant at a gun show. Glock 23 Gen 5 MOS •Want to love it. I was so excited for it. It’s .40, it’s a compact, it’s optic ready, it’s a Glock. It’s perfect! Expect Gen 5 flared magwells on the 23/19 fuck with my pinky finger. Shoots great, but I’m much slower because of my distorted grip. HK P30SK •Cool gun built like a brick, but too much gun and not enough grip for only 10+1 flush fit. The Glock 26 pulls this role off better, but I do miss having a rail. C Tier: ———— Ruger MkIV •American icon, but huge for 10+1 .22LR. That’s kind of their purpose, especially the target model, so I don’t hate their existence, I just didn’t enjoy owning it. Reloading the mags suck too. CZ75 Compact •Not a good carry gun but also not cool enough to keep. PX4 Storm Full •92FS but plastic (which is fine). The slide mounted safety is just not fun to carry. Got it for $260 tho, that’s a fuckin steal. Izhmash IJ-70 •It’s cool. It’s Russian. That’s all I guess. Heritage Rough Rider •Fun little thing but feels like a toy. Disappointingly creaky gun, but it’s $99 brand new so it’s okay. D Tier: ———— Rohm RG38 •Shitty Saturday Night Special revolver. Mines in awful condition. Cont.
