A Sig P2022 Pro is a great gun

So is a CZ 85 Combat.

Both can be bought used for less than $400.

The Sig Pro is around $425 new

The CZ 85 Combat is around $525 new

That's a good looking CZ85. I have one in the standard black finish...excellent handgun.

Glock 19 always gets my vote for the specs you provided but finding one for $400 may be a little difficult.

I would avoid the Taurus 709. If you can give us some idea of your size and how you hope to carry, we may be able to narrow the field. My personal choice (based on specs and budget alone) would be the Ruger SR9c.

Since you already purchased the subcompact XD 9, I will only comment that I carry the Taurus 709 as an EDC, alternating with a Glock 26. The Taurus is an excellent weapon. I had I bought it used on INGO and had trouble with it. Taurus fixed under the warranty at no charge. Works great. Easy to carry. Accurate.

Enjoy your XD. Be sure to get some good training. H & H offers an excellent course with a great instructor. Avoid purchasing a weapon there, though. Very expensive. Ranger Supply or Tomlinsons in Busco have better prices. And Century 21 in Bluffton.

Midwest Firearm Exchange (great big blue table) and Plainfield Shooting Supplies were the cheapest at the last 2-1500's. My opinion only. Others price match, some haggle...neither of these two do.

 

[Cherryspringer]

The glock 19 has got to be the best all around handgun. Performance, price and reliability can't be beat.

Have to be at the right place at the right time to find a steal of a deal...in my perfect world i would find a G19 for around $400...but truth be told i have been looking for this deal for around a month now.

If you haven't found something yet, here is my 2 cents worth.
I bought a BARELY used Glock 26 for $ 400 earlier this winter. Needed extended floor plate for my hand...about 10 bucks. 2 extra mags & ext. floorplates online for about another $ 75.
If I were to buy today, would probably buy a Ruger SR9c. 10 round mag with ext. floor plate fits me good. 17 round mag also. ZX Guns (Goshen) had 4 last week for $ 399.99 They were at Ft. Wayne last weekend and will be at Indy this weekend. If you want to call to see if they still have any, their # is 574-534-4543.

If you're still looking, I know that a used Glock would be great. A lot of people are saying the 19 or 26, but for what its worth, the extra half inch of the 17 is easily concealable in an IWB holster in my case; and I'm 6'4", only 175 pounds.

A slightly cheaper option might be a Taurus. I know the Millenium series is small enough for concealed carry, and I have a 24/7 that I can also concealed carry without an issue. People give them a bad rap, but I haven't had an issue with them. My 24/7, my fathers 24/7, my 738, and my PT-22 all work great. Only one i had issues with was slight jamming issues on the PT-22, but its a micro-sized 22 auto, so a break-in period was required. And I had a grip crack when it got dropped, but Taurus has a beautiful lifetime no-questions-asked warranty. Shipped me new grips for free, took about 2 weeks.

I would find a used Beretta 92FS is a great piece, worth checking out. Make sure the gun fits your hand and trigger finger sets right.

Glock 19 is hard to beat. I just picked one up at the last gun show here in Lafayette, love it. So much available for them.

 

[zcsmith464]

I had good luck with and would reccomend a taurus 9mm. I.e. the pt111. Reasonabe to carry, good price, and reliable.

 

[freeclimber57]

taurus pt 24/7 oss....love it , but thats my opinion

 

[ruger1968]

Plainfield shooting supply is a good tableat the indy 1500

You can get a used Glock for 400 dollars...

I just bought a new Glock 19 EXO for 550 if you want to pony up for a new glock...
