I want a full size 40 S&W

[dljx3]

I know there are lots of opinions out there. I know it wil be hard to sort through them, but here goes. I want a full size .40 cal.

I have a Glock 17 and it's OK, my Sig 220 .45 is good and the Beretta 92FS is great. Any comments on Glock, Sig, S&W or others?

Thanks for your help

I've had many,but in my opinion,the XDm 5.25 is just about right. If course,if you like SIGS,a P226 would be hard to beat for most applications.

I'm a big glock fan but was pleasantly suprised by the m&p's. Keep them in mind or try. A little different grip angle but still good guns. NOT cheap like the sigmas a few yrs ago.

I shot my Gen 4 G22 last weekened for the first time and I liked it a lot. It fits my hand with the medium backstrap really well so that is why I like it. YMMV

I like Glock, Sig, M&P. If you love your Beretta you could look at a 96.

I like my H & K USP 40 better than my glock 22, cause the H & K has a "FRAME MOUNTED SAFETY"

If you like your 92, why not get a 96 or 96A1?

I agree with shooter. Had a 92 and a 96 for a while. Loved them both and still have my 96.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a .40 Browning Hi Power and a .40 CZ in the classifieds. IMHO, if you want an all steel, full size .40, it doesn't get much better than that.

I know my opinion wont be a popular one but I love my Ruger P944 and my fathers Taurus PT100 is nice also.

I'm sure there are plenty of folks here who own and enjoy Ruger P-series and Taurus PT-series autos. The trick with the former is finding one; the P944s have been discontinued for several years now. The Taurus PT-99/101 isn't bad, but the Beretta is better (IMO) and only costs about $100 more.

Sell the 17, buy a 22, buy a lone wolf .40 to 9 barrel and use your spare glock 17 mags.

A good idea, but it sounds like he prefers his SIG and Beretta, so maybe sell the 17 to help finance a P229 or 96FS?

I have a Sig P229 in .40 and it's a great gun and eat everything I put in it too.

I own a Glock and I stand by this! Not just because of the frame mounted safety, but the H&K just feels better. Smooth, reliable, accurate... so much more to say but you should really just shoot one to figure it out.

That's just so wrong I don't know where to start. It's like......dumping your best girl friend then asking her for some phone numbers of other chicks. Have you no soul, man?

Up for debate.

I was simply trying to make suggestions based on the OP's stated preferences, rather than my own.

Besides, if he sells his Glock, that's one more in circulation that can be picked up and given a home by someone who will appreciate it for the Perfection it is!

Depending upon what you're wanting to spend, there seem to be a fair number of Glock 22's for sale at reasonable prices.

Another vote for the HK USP... Watch for Police trade ins, fair price, great condition and accurate.

^this. Plus you can change it to several different trigger variants to have it just how you want it.
