I am going to give IDPA a try and are on a tight budget. Going with 9x19mm. Have narrowed my handgun choices down to the fallowing and need some experienced based advice to help make my choice. Absolutely can't go over $600 and would like to keep it as close to $500 as I can. In no particular order of prefernce. Plan on buying guns on line from either Buds or Impact guns. Want gun to have a barrel length as close to 5" as possible. I DO NOT like Glocks, great gun I just dont like them.
<>S&W M&P C.0.R.E 5" $607
<>S&W M&P Pro 5" $549
<>EAA CZ75 SP-01 $606
<>EAA SAR ST-10 BI-TONE $477.99
<>Springfield Armory XD-9 5" Black-$487/Bi-tone $527
I have resurched as well as I can all the above guns and they all have received an average of at least 4.5 out of 5 stars from every review I can find. I realize the M&P's and S/A have a advantage in terms of well established quality and availability of after market upgrades VS my other choices.
So please if anyone reading this has some solid advice or input please by all means share it with me.
Thank you,
Arthur.
