First handgun purchase
Posted on 8/24/14 at 3:21 pm

Looking to buy my first handgun for home defense and to keep in my truck. I will prob get my cc permit soon too. I've done some research and have decided a 9mm is best for what I'm looking for due to price of gun/ammo. I'm in the $500-$600 range. Help me decide between these:
1. Glock 19
2. S&W MP compact
3. Springfield Armory XD 3"
4. Sig sp2022
Any others I'm missing? Sig p320? Beretta? The sig p226 is a little too $$$. Thanks for help

Of the ones you listed get the M&P

I'd go with a G19, given those choices. You will be happy with that firearm.

S&W or Springfield would be my choice. No experience with the sig 2022, but I know Sigs are fine weapons

I know I'm in the minority here, but I have a Beretta PX4Storm 9mm and love it.

Some people don't like the look. At first, I agreed, but it feels great in the hand.

Agree (and I like the look). Easy to maintain, another + in my book.

I have a Beretta Nano and it works just fine. I probably should've gotten the PX4, though.

If your serious about CC down the line, I would seriously consider a Springfield XDS or S&W Shield.

My first was a G19. I liked it so much that I bought a second one.

Thanks for the input guys.. Keep em coming bc no clear winner lol.
CP3 thanks for those suggestions, I will def look into those when I do get CC permit but for my first gun I like the idea of the larger capacity mags. The beretta px4, while I'm sure a great gun, I just don't like the way it looks.

If you are wanting a gun to conceal, I would get a single stack like the M&P shield. I have the M&P9c and I like it, but I would rather a single stack for better concealment. If you want it just to keep in the home or truck, I wouldn't even get the compact. Just get the full size M&P. Just my .02

I have a 4" XD-9. I like it alot, and it has been very reliable. I honestly don't remember a hang up.
Posted on 8/24/14 at 4:24 pm to AFistfulof$
In that case I would skip subcompact/compact and jump to a full size.
