Im not a fan of Ruger, but do own a couple Glock's. They are fantastic weapons. A bit much kick in the .40 and .45ACP, but super reliable.

GLOCK 19 FTW. imo glocks have reliability of a ak and the accuracy of a AR

will be used for home defense/open carry

Interesting you say that, i consider myself to have small hands and viewed the glocks as big and bulky, couldnt get a comfortable grip/hand position. Each person is diff. Good luck to ya.

Glock 17/19/34. With a little work they can be used in competition.

The glock 19 is a great gun and cheap to shoot!!

thinking g19 it is

Glock without a doubt.

Look up the huge Ruger recall a couple years ago.

The 33-rounder is a nice accessory (out of Cali).

I have small hands too, that's why I picked the XD9 over a glock.. If u have smaller hands then the glock should feel more bulky then the xd's.. I now have an xd40 that I bought from fasthatch and I love that gun.. I feel like the cd is a safer gun too. Not sure if u owned guns before but the xd has the trigger safety and the palm safety too and the pin and rail that sticks up when there is a round in the chamber..
SW mp was a nice smooth gun too..

how bout this one?

budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_912/products_id/26109

---

No, thats crap.

You want the M&P series.

I picked mine up brand new from Bass Pro a couple months ago. It was $549 (plus tax and DROS)and S&W has a $50 mail in rebate until October 3rd. The 9mm is the same price. If you get the .40, you can buy a conversion barrel to shoot 9mm...

The glock feels cheap to me compared to the S&W or the XD. I had an XD9 and that was a really nice gun too.

Posted by 5LTR SVT (Member # 7080) on :
 
I'll try the s&w and the springfield

Posted by WildFire532FB (Member # 1482) on :
 
Pick each weapon up and see how it feels in your hands. See if you are comfortable with the grip.

Personally i'll never own a plastic gun.

Might as well save some cash and buy a Hi-point if you don't care. They're only $140.

have my mind set on a 9mm
 

---

Posted by fstryde3 (Member # 8436) on :
 
Also just my two cents if this is n fact going to be your home defense weapon

1. Do not purchase the cheapest thing you can find a low price gun may be nice but the magazines etc will most likely be crap.

2. Step up to a .40 forget the 9mm.

3. Purchase good quality Hollow Point ammunition, save the cheap stuff for the range, FMJ go through stuff and some cheap HP ammo doesn't fully expad and gets caught in baggy bulky clothing which is basically what every person breaking into your place wears.

4. Go to a range that lets you rent weapons and fire a few before you make a purchase, the first time you have to shoot at a live target it is not like paper targets.

Sometimes you post the most ignorant shit I have ever read in my life.

Glock pistols are used all over the world by law enforcement/military (including 65% of the US). Millions were produced and they are battle proven as one of the most reliable pistols ever.

Regardless of how you feel about a certain pistol, you cannot deny it's reputation and existing usage.

Look into the CZ's I have a CZ75 P-01 (Compact 9mm) It's a great feeling 9mm, the slide rides inside the rail, and the grip feels great and it's very narrow. It's very "sig like" and very accurate. It's my favorite pistol I have shot and that's a lot of guns... Look into the CZ brand, they're good pistols.

Home defense huh?? Get a fuckin 18" 12 guage with a pistol grip. Pump with some double o bucks. That's a home defense weapon. Don't get me wrong I got me a 9 too but that's not what's next to the bed at night. You could also get yourself a 120lb German rot that helps he's my ears and warning when I'm asleep

I already have a 12 gauge

just go out to the range and rent a few of the guns you are considering and fire away. When I was shopping fr my first gun I tried out the Glock, Sig, and XD...the SIg felt teh most solid, with the XD coming very close in "comfort and feel" when I tried it. The glock, although a very affordable and light weight pistol , just felt too bulky and square in my hands. I ended up getting a SIG P226 .40 cal. I love the damn thing and liek I said earlier, it shoots VERY smoothly. It is a bit heavier of the three choices but due to its metal body, the recoil is absorbed very well and makes the gun a very comfortable shooter...again, this is all my opinion. You need to just find the gun that best suites your needs and feel sbest in your hands. I also have a MOssberg 12ga pump that I have in case someone wants to fuck with me in my house

then who cares what 9 you buy get whatever feels comfortable to you. At your price range. Your obviously not a competition shooter and your not relying on it everyday like mr law enforcement. So get what you want. As far as open carry I'll tell you my carry law. I got it all the time whether it's in my pants or in my center console. Who gives a fuck I'd rather sit in jail then be dead over 5 bucks

Sounds like your stuck on a glock.

Well Ok get the houge insert factory night sights rails of course and buy the .40 cal.

Now you want to shoot 9mm 40 or .357 in the bitch well you can.

You will need new barrels that are around 120 a piece and even though the 9mm will fit in the 40 magazine it is recomended you get the 9 mm magazines to prevent jams. The 357 will fit and not jam in the 40 mags.

So there you go you have the ability to shoot 9mm .40 and .357 thru the same gun.

Pistols can be good for sub 2" groups at 25yds, 90% of people couldn't keep a 10" group at 20 feet. Buy whatever fits your price, read, practice, dry fire. It doesn't matter the caliber or if it is semi/revolver.

I pretty much only shoot my S&W 327pd 8 shot .357 revolver now. It just punches holes over and over again and will hit a 12" square at 100yds.

FN-five seven, Very nice weapon! I would not use it for home defense cause you can easily send a round thru the wall killing little becky next door or someone in the next room.
