Good all-around 9mm for ~$500

[dbd870]

I have tried just about every tupperware compact out there and feel that the M&P edges them all out (for me). It shoots like a full size, has good capacity, reliable, durable, and easy to conceal. What more do you need?

(No I don't work for Smith and Wesson)

Me too - but as others have said OP needs to run the drill for himself. Good deal on the SIG (never cared for them myself though) - it's just so much personal preference.

If you're not used to a SA trigger, then I'd suggest the Glock 19. No DA/SA trigger pull to throw off your first shot. Lots of holsters and aftermarket parts available. Plenty of people who own the same gun to help with any questions you might have.

Good tip and welcome to the forum.

GLOCK 19

or the S&W M&P

or the Springfield XD-9

or the HK P30 (truly a work of art, but you will pay)

or buy them all!

Hope this helps!

Glock 19

+1 from me on the G19. I am a recent convert to Glock. I have shot perhaps 1000 rounds without a hiccup. Can't beat it but you might also look at the S&W M&P9. Nice looking gun that has a lot of fans!

paid 800 for my p30l, and it was worth every penny.

Does anyone have an opinion on the Baby Desert Eagle? There is one listed in the classifieds for $450 with only only 300 rounds. I do not know enough about this gun to recommend, but it appears to be in good condition, and it is a good price for this model.

SavageEagle has one and loves it. Might shoot him a PM.

Great and timely thread.

Because I rawk, I will be getting some free bonus money from work soon, and I am looking to modernize and upgrade.

I'm leaning towards the G19, but the sexy CZ75 has also been brought to my attention and really caught my eye.

I'm not considering these because:

S&W MP--butt fugly
XD-- mostly fugly

 

[mkelsey]

They are not 9's but aimsurplus has police trade in G22's for 400$, seems like a decent price price to me. They come with 2 mags, lock and case.

 

[qualitytym]

Springfield, I tel you what..

 

[jpserv]

I love my glock but I will have to say my ruger p-85 is as accurate as they come.

 

[Roadie]

Firearms, Guns, Rifles. Grain Valley, Missouri. has Glock 17 9mm police trades. Two 17rd mags. 3rd gen. for $369

Not bad at all.

Just posted a range report on my new Taurus 809, got it from PSS for 489.00 + tax.

Defiantly worth a look at.

Walther PPS 9mm

I'm not in your shoes anymore, but when I was, I found the Walther PPS right for me. I liked the size of the pistol and didn't want to carry 20,000 rounds with me. I found the trigger to be similar to the Glocks which are larger and I can't CC a Glock comfortably. I carry mine alot and have had one FTE in the first 50 rounds with no problems after that. Good luck!

 

[roscott]

You really have three primary guns that fit that slot:

S&W M&P
Glock
XD

I definitely prefer the XD, but it's personal preference that will determine which is right for you.

(Ha! I did it! Flame-free!)
