New Hand Gun...opinions?

I looked at the P2000 yesterday too....That is what my brother carries for the boarder patrol (LEO Edition) and he isnt a fan of it...I liked the night sights better on the Glock I think also

I just dont think i want to shell out the extra$$$ for the HK just yet.

My plan is to go a little cheaper this time around, and then go to a compact/sub .45 a little more down the road for a CCW gun.

Is it the USP with the external safety?

 

The gun gun at cabelas also told me that january Glock os coming out with a new model with adjustable grips?

 

can't go wrong with a springfield xdm (9mm or .40). i am waiting for the xdm45 to come out. i will be getting it for sure.

 

Yes HK USP has external safety.

Just as a little counter to you line of thinking, I have never bought a new HK. I paid $550 for my P2000 with three mags in the case used last year, that was when prices were crazy. So look around for a used HK, if you like them and can get a good price. Oh and your brother in-law only has one very uncommon version of the P2000 so take that into account too. Just some food for thought.

 

I love my springfield xd40. I have a 5" stainless service model, one of the older ones with the single stack clip. I've had probably 2000 rounds through it, and I don't think it's misfired or FTE once. I wish it was one of the newer ones though- you get all the fun stuff extras and the extra capacity with the new package. If you want to actually carry it, I'd go with a compact or subcompact- the 5" is too bulky for my taste. I have a Kel-Tec P3AT for CC.

 

glock 27 was really nice...for a CCw

 

Yeha i was playing with that last night
it is like half the pull of teh 1st shot

 

Price and comfort teh Glock is leading the pack...I did like the feel of the HK but it is like $300 more...maybe it will be my next one

 

I was really dissapointed with the Walther...PPS
I was sooooooooo narrow and the magazine release was attached to the trigger guard. it was tuff to get my finger on

 

one more to add to the mix?

 

Dude, XD, no questions asked.

 

Hk p2000 is my favorite but if you cant afford then u cant afford. In my opinion the glocks are the "cool" thing right now. I think for feel and durability they are crap. But in the sub $400 market i guess they cant be beat.

 

x2 must agree



xd 40S&W 5" Tactical (bought back when they were still made in croatia). have over 10,000 rounds through it. 2nd barrel by choice not neccesity.
I will out shoot you!

 

BTW first pistol there is no reason not to go with a 9mm. I hear the xds now hold 19+1 rounds. nice!

 

I get free .40 ammo...thats reason enough...2nd reason worst case if i ever have to use it for defense I want something with some kick...

 

you dont want kick you want knock down power

 

Has anyone here ever shot anyone?

 

that is not a good question to ask.
