Saw academy has the smith&wesson on sale the 9mm and .40. Anyone have any opinions on them. I've been looking at getting a Glock but wondering if it's worth the extra $200.

Don't ever buy that gun....

I've been down that road before. I know a few other people in here have too.

Save yourself the headache a buy a better gun.

What about the glock 9mm or .40. Are there any real pros/cons of the two different calibers? Also what about the compact vs subcompact.

It's a cheap shitty pistol. It's the only gun I've ever owned that I sold. Spend the extra money on a glock and you'll never regret your decision.

If you're on a budget, the cheapest decent pistol is going to be the Ruger for around $375

Most people hate them. I'll tell you my experience.

My dad bought his SD in 1996. He has had it cleaned once in the past 20 years and it was 2 years ago, and only because it jammed for the first time since he owned it.

1 jam, in 18 years with no cleaning. He didn't even wipe a cloth down the barrel.

That being said, I can't shoot the thing. The grip has a weird set up, and the trigger pull takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 minutes.

That's a decent price on one, but not a great one. You can find them for less every day of the week. Especially used.

If under $250, I would buy one. But I've had a better experience with them than most.

I have one, and have had no issues with it. The trigger is pretty bad though.
