what would you buy

[Guest canynracer]

Ok, say you had $400.00

what kind of semi-auto pistol would you buy for CCW.

9mm or 40cal would be ideal.

I know its not alot of money, but there has GOT to be more than a Taurus or KelTec...I would prefer 3.5 barrel, or right around there...I am looking to purchase right after the new year.

Thanks for the help!

You could find a good deal on a XDSC.

I would get a Rock Island 1911. But thats just me.

[Guest gcrookston]

I'd be looking for a 2nd hand J frame...

[Guest glockamolee]

If you don't mind buying a used gun, you have ALL kinds of choices...

New?

Bersa

Beretta cougar

ruger

[Guest canynracer]

Thanks guys...I am not against used...I will shop the news you suggested...then if I end up with a choice of used, I will probably be back for your opinions..

thanks!

If it had to be new... I'd go for a Ruger something-or-nother, perhaps an SR-9.

If I could go used, within reason... I'd go for a used XD, or a CPO Sig.

these are too big, I have a Sigma now, I want smaller than 4" barrel

[Guest Boomhower]

Are you wanting plastic or metal? I've got a Stoeger Cougar and love it. I also have a sigma, but prefer to carry the Cougar.

plastic or metal really doesnt matter as long as it is not a brick...

Is the cougar something that I would be able to find in a gun store?

xd9, I did

Yep. Gandar Mtn has them. I'm sure Bass pro would as well. You can usually find them for around $350 new. Seems like there was a member on here that was thinking about selling his 8045 mini cougar.

[Guest Boomhower]

Scroll down towards the bottom. You'll find a beretta link

M&P Compact

yeah, this is what I WANT...but 400 bucks??? LOL yeah, maybe a used one, and I would jump on it in a sec, but my luck, it wont exist when I have the money right after xmas...

[Guest utarch00]

Buds Gun Shop often sells them for $400 plus shipping or $439 shipped. That is were I got mine, for that price. If you can wait, check their website often.

[Guest canynracer]

Thanks for the tip!!! that ROCKS

[Guest Hoot]

Man, this one is easy. I handled the Kahr CW9 and CW40 yesterday and loved the tiny little things. Price for either was $389. These are very light weight guns. The 40 cal. might have more recoil than you want. I have an all steel model Kahr in 9mm, and it has very little recoil. But the polymer frame guns are bound to have substantially more.

[Guest 2HOW]

Taurus PT-140 or 145 Millinium Pro. Its my EDC.
