What handgun next?

Postby Thunder71 on Fri Oct 28, 2011 6:59 pm

I'm one short in my safe and would like to replace it.

I have an XDM 9mm Compact, Kahr PM9, Walther P22 and a Beretta Neos at the moment... Thought about a S&W 442 or LCR (357 or .38) but really haven't decided on anything in particular, but would like to try something different.

1911's aren't my thing, tried those... fun at the range, not so fun to carry (some like it, I don't). I'm partial to smaller firearms, even though I'm a bigger guy... Also don't care for Glock really.

Prefer 9mm if a pistol, or .38 possibly 357 in a revolver.

Looking at the $400-$500 price range.

Based on what you have now, I'd suggest a SIG or an HK.

SIG P239 or P228, HK P2000SK.

I've had a 442 and an LCR. I preferred the LCR as the recoil seemed to be slightly less with the LCR, but either would be a good choice.


Missed the 400-500 price point. Go with the LCR.

I fell in love with the trigger on the LCR, something magical about it...

How about a CZ or a used 92?

CZ is what I'm replacing, what's a 92?

How about a full size companion to the XDm? Maybe the 5.25" model?

.357 revolver is missing from your collection that or a good .22 revolver would make a great addition for range time.

I have a 444Marlin in a pistol for you to try.

And a Berretta 92FS in mint condition I'm thinking of selling, but another member has first dibs on it.

Go old skool. Get an 1858 Remington or an 1860 Colt.

It's fun to make black powder smoke. :)
I love making smoke with my 1858 Remington. Makes all the other shooters sit up and take notice.

XDm Compact is an excellent choice, but I have a S&W 442 without the internal lock which is a excellent choice as well to have a nice pocket carry or light weight OWB carry.

What will this gun be used for? Carry? In the safe?

I used to not like Glocks at all, but I gave them a chance and they grew on me. They have alot of positive things going for them.

M&p are a solid choice as well.


What about a PPQ, although they are a little past your 500. I am looking to maybe get a PPQ and try it out. Initially it get good and has a nice trigger.

I just got back from shooting my new used FNH FNX-9. I love it. It's a good alternative to the 92fs, which was too wide for me.
