Looking to purchase handgun, recommendations?

Looking to purchase first handgun (Glock 17, 9mm) and trying to figure out the best place / price. Stationed in Tucson, but can drive to Phoenix area too. Just figured some here may have some recommendations. Thanks! Zach

 

Price wise would be online, just need to find out who has the cheapest transfer fee. What generation are you looking for?

 

I was just gonna go gen 4, better recommendation? Thanks!

 

And you can always buy used. www.armslist.com, a Glock is a glock.

 

Lol, that's where I'm at right now. I was told best to go through FFL just to be safe even private sale. Thanks!

 

I would shoot a few glocks first, then shoot other guns too. I personally hate the ergonomics of glocks. They feel like bricks in my hand. It's not a natural firearm for me to pick up and point / shoot.

Once you find a comfortable and reliable gun you are set. If glocks feel good, get one, they are great guns. I personally like the grip and trigger of the H&K P30 and Vp9 firearms (full size and compact).

 

Good point. I admit the grip on the glock 40mm my dad has isn’t very comfortable compared to his XD 9mm. I was just going off reviews.

 

Highly recommend you check out a M&P before pulling the trigger (pun!) on a glock.

EDIT: The fullsize come with three different grip inserts so one is sure to fit your hand just right. Also I like the Shield so much I have three of them.

 

Also highly recommended amongst reviews. Thanks!

 

See my edit above.

 

You can always check out gallery of guns. The gun genie you can see the prices from several FFL's that are close to you.

 

Since you say stationed, I’m assuming you’re military...

M&Ps are great. The shield is a great gun if you plan to carry concealed. Most modern firearms have interchangeable backs traps, but HK VP9 and P30 also include interchangeable side panels for a total of 9 panels. The out of the box trigger on the vp9 is the best factory trigger you can come by currently. Imo

 

Yep active duty AF at Davis Monthan. Thanks!

 

Budsgunshop also does discounts for first responders on thousands of guns.

 

Definitely will look at the vp9 thanks!

 

You’re welcome. Thanks for your service.

 

My privilege to serve. Thanks again!

 

Sure is purdy.
