I think I'm gonna have the parental units get me a new pistol for my Christmas gift this year.

Unlike many of you OBers I am not exactly a firearm connoisseur............I grew up hunting......shooting mostly rifles and shotguns.

I need a versatile pistol that won't break the bank. It could be used for home defense.....vehicle carry and at some point maybe concealed carry.

I currently only have a .357 wheel gun.

My buddy recently got his and her Springfield XD sub compacts in 9mm for he and his wife.

FWIW-He has a glock too but says he likes the XD better.

Actually, the 357 Magnum you already have will suit your current needs just fine. OTOH, I'd never discourage someone from getting another gun, especially if it gives his parents a chance to "show their love."

I'd take care of your current needs w/ a full size semi-auto; if you someday decide to conceal carry, get a smaller, lighter, single stack semi-auto at that time. I'd suggest your parents buy you a DAO or striker fired, full size M&P, XD/XDM, SR9, Sig or Glock. If you're comfortable w/ the SAO platform, a 1911 in 45 ACP is always a fine choice. Shoot and handle as many different of the aforementioned guns you can and see which one(s) suit you best.
