Looking to buy either a 9mm or .40 to do some serious range shooting. I want something that consistently has great accuracy and is a great overall piece. Price range is up to about $1,000.. Thoughts?

Are you a great shot? Most pistols will be more accurate than their owners...

I'm a good shot.. Great shot has yet to be proven.. However, I only own a springfield xdm 9mm compact and a .380 bodyguard. I'm good with both of them. I just want to step up to the next level with a known-for-accuracy piece that I can really practice with.

Ruger SR series



About $450 and a fantastic gun





Comes in 9mm, .40, and .45ACP


Plus, it's American made

I've heard this from so many people, and it's cheap. If OP is willing to spend a grand, though, I suggest a bigger gun like an H&K or Glock.

This is the truth. A 1" group at 15 yds is no problem for MOST decent pistols

Probably aren't many shooters that can free hand that, I can't.

Are you target shooting? Personal Defense? Plinking?

I've looked at the Springfield 1911 Range Officer in person.. Nice gun... Just havent fired one... The SR1911 is a fine looking gun as well.

Serious range shooting in 9mm, only one answer.

Not bad for a $290 truck gun, night sights as well, I really like it, I shoot it more at the range than my others, and don't worry as much about it being stolen from my truck due to cost.

Glock 34 with aftermarket sights and trigger can be had for less than $1k if you want to stay with 9mm.

Sig 210. If you look around, you can find a used one in decent condition for just over a grand.
