What type of handgun are you?

Ran across this quiz while randomly strolling the Internet. Gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the results.

I'm a bit of a traditionalist, I have fairly large hands (the better to hold you with), and have a mesomorphic body type (the better to soak up recoil). So a 1911 and I get along great. The biggest drawback is that it's kind of difficult to comfortably carry concealed (say that quickly three times).

So I usually go out and about accompanied by a Springfield XD in .45 ACP. It has good ergonomics and a high-capacity mag (13 rounds, compared to the 1911's 7 or 8). With a 4" barrel it's a little less cumbersome.

Neither my 1911 nor my XD are high-end customized specimens. They're just good, solid, basic tools that get the job done.

Anyway, follow the link below and take the quiz for yourself. Might be interesting...
