StillLearnin Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 It's that time again to start shopping for a new pistol. I currently have a Ruger P-89 stainless 9mm new as of easter but am looking for something a little slimmer and a little lighter. I am currently looking at the new Taurus 24/7 but have noticed on their web site that it is already discontinued and replaced by the 24/7 PRO. So far this is the only gun I have found that I am remotely interested in. I was hoping for some suggestions on other pistols to look into for a round $400. If you guys have any suggestions or comments I'd appreciate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDubWSR Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Re: Already time for a new pistol!! Springfield XD... you can find them in 9mm, 40 s&w, 357 sig, and 45 gap. we sell them for $429 at my store. every bit as good as a glock and some people say even better. If you dont like polymer framed guns, we also sell some magnum research baby desert eagles in 40 s&w for around $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have handled a few XD's including the 3" Sub-Compact and the 4" Service Model...Both felt real nice and ergonomically appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Re: Already time for a new pistol!! Glock makes a single stack auto (can't recall the model) that is a little slimmer than the regulars. Kahr also makes a nice compact auto that is very slim. The $400 ceiling is gonna limit your choices. You may be able to pick up a used model of one of the higher end guns for that price range. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY_Whitetailer Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Re: Already time for a new pistol!! That would be the Glock Model 36...45ACP. A new one cannot be had for $400 though...You would probably be hard pressed to find a used one for much less than that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xen Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Re: Already time for a new pistol!! the springfield xd is a sweet little gun, you could also look at styers. they make a 9mm and .40 that are pretty good - light weight. i shoot a s40 and my wife shoots a s9. the springfield has a nice, light trigger, and will probably end up replacing my styer.
