Buying a gun Need opinions

[BigK]

Of your choices, I'd choose the Glock 19, because I prefer compact over subcompact.

However, if the G19 the ideal size for you, I'd recommend adding a CZ P-01 or PCR to your list of choices.

the px4 subcompact feels the best to me, but i have yet to shoot one. the m&p is the next best in the hand, but havent gotten to shoot one of those either. the xdM would be the next on my list. feels good in the hand and they shoot phenominal. i would take any of them over a glock because in my opinion they feel like crap in your hand. just my $.02

TeamJackson? lol

Man I told you at work today what to go with! But all these guys make valid points, it's all about feel baby!

[TeamJackson]

That's right Sparks!! I trust you but wanted other opinions!!

They are all smarter than me anyway. Where do you think I got all my advice? lol

[Guest bulluck533]

Out of those i would go with the Glock 19 just on the fact that i know it will go boom every time i pull the trigger.

+ a billion on the CZ P-01 or PCR. This coming from a G19 owner.

Well I pulled the trigger today (Pun intended)! Bought a Springfield XD40 Compact. I decided to go 40 over 9 and compact over Subcompact for better shooting. Good purchase?

I think they call that the "service" model. The XD40 was my very first handgun. Great guns. Just butt-ugly.

Haha I love how it looks!

Sparks you told me he M&P but you also mentioned this gun. Haters will hate! Haha

[Erik88]

That is still a big and bulky gun for carry IMO but if you are happy with it then that is all that matters. XD's a great guns.

[Patton]

Not a whole lot smaller than the Beretta though. Send off for your free magazines now!

[daddyo]

Good purchase?

No one gets to decide that but YOU.

[BigK]

Don't shoot your eye out, kid

just kidding, couldn't resist, watched the movie last night

Yeah yeah just harassing you. It's a nice gun for sure. Only advice is this:

Dont carry to Wally if you are planning on stealing light bulbs!

[jtmaze]

That was my first owned handgun. Have it today still carry today. Hope you like yours as much as I like mine.

I had sort of the same decision earlier in the year.... Ended up with g19, loved it so much bought a g22 two months later..... Can't go wrong with glock IMHOP

[Guest pfries]

I carry a XD9 Tac as my edc. A good holster and belt and I have no problems (5'11" @ #160) love my XD but as mentioned it is as personal as taste in women....(or men for our lady folk).

[Guest bkelm18]

I actually just picked up a XDm-40 today and plan on making it my EDC, at least during the colder months.

I know it wasnt on your list but since others mentioned it , I do LOVE my CZ P-01 !!!!! It has a nice testing history and has a NATO number on it where it went through sevreral tests and passed. I love mine. Good ole traditional hammer fired gun. And it's the same size of a Glock 19 .

[TeamJackson]

Now I almost want to buy the subcompact version of the compact XD40 I bought. Wife would kill me unless I found a cheap one

[Patton]

Did you send off for your free mags yet?

[TeamJackson]

Sure did. Sent online yesterday
