Cant decide on a budget 9mm

[ar15_dude]

Yeah like some responders, I am
a bit confused on the desire for a cheap range toy in addition to a duty weapon.

Sounds like an opportunity to consolidate uses. May I suggest upgrading the duty weapon to an HK VP9 or Glock 45? Both well proven for duty and a pleasure at the range. It is best if your range time is on your duty weapon.

I don’t understand the desire for a smaller, cheaper below-duty-grade range toy.

Spend your extra $ on Trijicon HD sights for your duty / EDC pistol.

Brad69 I think if I had to choose 1 brand I'd go with FN.

I think you are looking for a little 9mm for personal carry. Throw in the extra coin and pick up a Sig P938. Most have Trijicon sights.

The canik is a no go for work so I'll either look at a g2c or security 9. Leaning towards a g2c because there is already one in the house so mags would be interchangeable.

I'm seeing the sr9 sub$300.

If you were willing to go with a .40 grabagun has the Walther PPQ with 5 inch barrel for $400.

That's a lot of gun for that price.

We brought a load of these in, very impressed with it, shoots great and feels good.

With the priced of reputable used guns, I see no reason to buy new if your primary goal is saving money. I've seen many "used" guns in pawn shops and gun shops that were obviously never fired.

Get the better pistol for less buying used.

I've seen their 1911 45acp they look good but not sure of the quality. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Well I finally decided. I got a new Taurus G3. Taking it to the range next Sunday so I'll report back on ot then. It feels good in the hand, the trigger is smoother than the g2c we have and the mags will also work in the g2c but not the other way around.

Best of luck, I hope she works out well for you.

 

[DadSmith]

Let us know how it works.

Look forward to the range report. I held one last week at a local LGS and was really surprised how well it did feel.

Went with a Taurus G3.

Put 300 through the g3 yesterday and it was great. No malfunctions, decent trigger especially for the price point, comfortable to shoot, positive mah ejection. I'm very happy with it and if it continues to perform well it will have a roll as a carry gun some days

Step by step guide.

1) make a top 3 list. Based on cost, color, caliber, keychain attachments etc

2) slowly set aside money while trying to make up mind on step 1

3) by the time you have step one semi-figured out, you’ll have enough to buy all three

Ooh color... I forgot to consider looking for one in a pretty color. Bought the g3 in all black already but I now know I should trade it in for a purple and stainless when that comes out. Guess I wont use a local forum to see what opinions and experience members have about products as part of my decision making process anymore.

Have to agree with your color coded comment. INGO has some experts in choosing SALMON colored guns.

I feel bad that most of mine are plain black.
