Buying my first handgun soon and...

[mustang_revival]

I like my FNP 9MM over my XD, but not by much.

Edit: oh yeah, I forgot to mention how they f-ed up every one of their generation 4 guns and had to recall them all. Every single gun.

Your original post. "Every single gun."

I like my Glocks, I shoot cast reloads in them. I've got aftermarket barrels for them because (I've read) the factory barrels are looser to improve reliability, and shooting full pressure .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45 Super in a loose barrel isn't the best for case life, and I'm cheap. They're good guns - not the best, not junk. Get one if it's comfortable and you like it.

I like my 21SF, i had an M&P 9c previous, liked it too, gave it to my grampa because he liked it and had a jamomatic 380 at the time.

[IHaveAMustang]

I like my Glock 22 (Gen3)
I like my Springfield XD 4"
I liked my Taurus 1911
I liked my Glock 23
I liked my Taurus PT92

I love my EAA Witness. Actually...both of them

Best part, I have only paid $300 for each of my EAA's, they are inexpensive but really good handguns.

If you ever want to try out the compact or the full size, I will bring them if there is ever a range GTG.

Glocks are for pigs.

And sigs aren't?

Everyone on the Mineral Wells PD is "issued" sigs last time I checked. I have a good friend that works for MWPD and a bunch of them were working a concert out at PK lake. Storm came in and about 20 mins later each of them had this rust colored spot on their shirts where their pistols were rubbing on their white shirts. Screw that noise.

Oh and by "issued" I mean the department buys you a SIG and then you pay them back over time. He tells me they don't allow them to carry anything else.

So they can write off a Sig on their taxes? I see no downside.

[LS1Goat]

Honestly you can't go wrong with any of the modern polymer framed pistols except maybe the S&W Sigma.

I would have to disagree regarding the Sigma.

That's not what he wants to carry.

Seriously? That's why your opinion means nothing.

my sd was reliable, cheap, and would have gotten the job done. Not to mention I wouldn't miss a $300 gun after its used for self defense.

I really like my XDM .40 feels great and shoots great just do not buy a cheap POS gun because it will always be a cheap POS gun live and learn IMO. Also do not be afraid to spend money on it because guns are the only hobby that I have ever had that held resale as long as you get a quality gun.

Was, huh? Didn't you buy it a whopping 3 months ago? How many rounds have you put through it? What kind of practical accuracy would you say constitutes "getting the job done"?

If you can buy a glorified piece of shit that is hard to shoot accurately for $300 or a good, usable service weapon for $400, then why on earth would you steer people towards the piece of shit?

Buy a gun that will shoot well, and learn to be proficient with it. Don't buy a gun that will only make proficiency an impossible dream. Trust me, if Sigmas were that good, people wouldn't sell them the day after they shoot a buddy's glock/xd/sig/cz/hk/blah/blah/blah.

Thought you had to be 21 to have a pistol in TX? Didn't you just post a last day of high school thread?
