I am taking my time selecting one, thought I would run it buy ATOT.
My thoughts are all over the place in the pricing bracket.
For example, a S&W Sigma series. Or a USP. My problem is that I like almost all semi-autos.
On the cheap:
-S&W Sigma.
-Taurus PT92.
Mid Range:
-Glock 30 (or a lot of Glocks, depending on what caliber I settle on). Started on Glocks. Love the way they feel.
-S&W M&P. Another great plastic fantastic. I shoot this a lot with my buddies. They are built very well.
-Springfield XD series. Again, great composite gun. And I have shot both 9mm and .40 in compact and regular versions. Awesome. My only problem is spare parts or servicing require it to be mailed in to Springfield.
-Cheap versions of the 1911. Like the Rock Island Armory. Ugh, any input here?
Pricey:
-HK USP. Enough said.
-A nice 1911.
As you can see, I mostly favor composite body guns, save for some exceptions like the 1911 and PT92 (poor man's Berreta?).
My only problem with 1911's is some had extractor issues a few years ago. And of course the firing pin concern if I were to drop it muzzle first.
My other issue is the trigger feel. I am used to Glock, not that they are much different, but I am all over the place on any other handgun. I am sure dry firing would fix it, but damn, it's annoying.
Another small gripe is my hand size. I am a freak with huge palms, long thumbs, but stubby fingers. Not sure how that works out, but I cannot be text book when it comes to holding it.
Sucks, I was planning on buying a decent bolt action 308. Maybe waiting for Savage to start shipping the Accu-Stocks. But, politics are clouding my decision.
