Pistol Suggestion?
 

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.

Try to find you a Kimber 1911. They are niceeee!!!

1911s are iconic guns. Will hopefully own one today.

$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.

xdm springfield or glock

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

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 support this message.

Glock

Take it from experience save a few more dollars and buy a 1911 45 and be done u won't regret it

Glock 30 small.easy to use. .light recoil..and 9 rounds in the magazine and a .45 in the chanber. Price is around five tho

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.

Academy had the S&W M&P 9 or 40 for $279

What? No revolvers???? Man, I would love to get my hands on a Ruger .45LC revolver. That thing would be a beast with +P Hot loads.

Why? He asked about PISTOLS.
