Might be in the market soon for a new (to me) pistol. Any suggestions? Used price range around $300-$500. Considering 9mm another 40 or maybe even a 45.

$300- $500? no way. But I would still recomend a 1911 of some kind.

Look at the Smith & Wesson M&P's, I have a 9mm & enjoy shooting this one the most.

I like the M&Ps. A buddy of mine in the Marine Corps has one. I put a laser site on it for him. I'd rather something without a external safety like the Glocks or the M&P with no safety. I have the Sigma and the trigger is really rough. If I went Glock, I could buy my cousins old duty weapon from him.

Mine has no safety on it.

You could get a 40 in the M&P, then go to Storm Lake Barrels & get the 9mm conversion kit & 9mm mags, then you can use it either way.

I'd love to have a gun that I can shoot either with

xdm springfield or glock

I'm not a big fan of Springfields. Good guns but I dont like how the spring guides stick out past the barrel.

I found out about this after I bought my 9mm. They also have a kit for the Glock. Look at the M&P forum, there is a tutorial on there to smooth out the trigger * make it a lighter pull

it does that for a reason, if the gun is pushed up against something at the barrel end it will still fire, on a glock it won't because it will push the slide back disabling the trigger from hitting the firing pin. springfield is one of the best pistols on the market, it has a better barrel then a glock and more safety mechanisms. the xdm does weigh more and the accuracy of the xdm is excellent.

I would like anything with a 4" barrel or a little bigger. Also would like the mag to hold at least 10 rounds. I'm looking at a Glock 22 or a Glock 23 right now.

Obviously not....dude m&p is wsy more expensive than that...the pistol you are thinking of is a sigma and and is a ok gun for a starter as well....and a revolver is a hand gun or pistol...geez.

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence man...but I see them priced at 350 online...

08-10-2011, 01:33 PM
yes there are some out there for that price............but when you add the shipping FFL fee tax(maybe) and extra mag and holster, it's a few bones in savings.

I would have to have intelligence for you to insult it.............but thanks for the compliment. lol

Check out the Cimarron Firearms if you want old school for a good price and seem to have good reviews.

X2 on learning gun control.
I have been to the range and watched guys shoot. Out of the hundred or so times I have only met a hand full if people that were there learning their gun and how to control the shot, meaning how it shoots in their hands. I don't care if you can put a couple dozen rounds down range in 6 seconds. It's what can you do with each round that counts.

I see the same thing at the rifle range when guys are sighting in there hunting rifles. They take a dozen shots using the bench rest and think they are ready to hunt.

I want to ask them if they will have that $ 200 gun rest in the stand when they take the shot?

Practice shooting how you are going to shoot in the woods.
