Help me choose a handgun!

Get a Glock 19 and be done with it. When all is said and done I think I carry it more than all the rest combined. It just works. Recoil is easy to deal with and it carries a lot of bullets.

I got a Ruger LCR for the wife to have at home. Loaded with Mag-Safe cartirdges. Taught wifey it is the original point and click. Just point it and keep pulling the trigger until it doesn't go click any more.

 

I have a SR9C and it is the most easily controlled 9mm I have ever shot. This includes many full size 9mm's, Glocks, Rugers, XD, ect. It is about the size of the Glock 26 with the 10 round mag, but it shoots so much softer.

 

GLOCK 18 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I love my SR9C still trying to break it in.. I bought it about 10 months ago for $599 FTL

 

Glock26

LOL

That's funny, I just got back from gun store where I held the Glock 26 and I really liked it... It fits nice in my hand with the "pinky" extended magazine and is super easy to conceal...

 

Anyone has experience with American Classic 1911? I saw that one too at the gun store for around $450...

It got some good reviews;

I am somewhat of a sucker for 1911's... The pistol feels nice in my hand because of its full metal construction. However will the added weight be a problem with prolonged conceal carry?

 

ruger lcr 357 awesome gun for concealed carry

 

Another vote for the Ruger SR9C - love this gun. My fiance bought one last year and then decided he wanted the full size SR9, so I have claimed the C... I also carry a Walther PPS 9mm and like it very much (shoots well, slim and comfortable for concealed carry) but at most it only carries 8 in the mag. The SR9C can accommodate a full size SR9 clip with a mag extension.

Another plus, if you are wanting something your wife can handle, is that the SR9C feels good in my hands which are much smaller than my fiance's. Of course, I love the way ANy gun feels in my hands but I feel very much in control of the SR9C. Plus, from our shooting with it, it is smooth and accurate.

Happy Shopping!!

 

XD9 subcompact [/thread]

 

XD's are good guns but the G26 is still smaller

 

True, but it's still a Glock.

 

Lol, Never!

 

The Glock grip angle pretty much limits you to shooting Glocks, if muscle memory is part of your training.
Let me know when you want to sell that Smitty.

 

hate away but nothing can argue with 15+1 of 10mm in a G20

 

Have fun concealing 15+1 rounds of 10mm in a pistol.

 

not that hard for me but im a big guy

 

It can be done (I carry a full sized XD sometimes), but it's not as easy to conceal as a compact.

 

On my 5 day cool down period for my new Kel-Tec PMR-30 22 mag pistol. Can't wait to let all 31 rounds fly (yup, 30+1 rounds capacity). About the size of a medium frame Glock.

Short barrel 22 mag is really loud,,which is half the scare tactic for protection,,plus letting many rounds fly,,in, around, or right on target.

1.5" spread with 30 grain JHP's at 25 yards.

 

ruger s9rc, springfield XD's, M&P series all virtually the same. rugged reliable modern pistols.
