Help me decide on handgun

[v0lcom13sn0w]

cz p07 or p10c

never can go wrong with a glock 19 or 1911

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

The P320 is known to fail drop tests. Sig has a fix for is supposedly.

i cant stand sigs... or cigs.

I really don't like the grip angle on Sigs. Just feels unnatural to me. YMMV

has anyone here shot the HK P30L im really digging this handgun looks amazing just hearing bad things about the trigger

I bought one of the short slides (p30) a few years back; it feels great in the hand! And then I shot it; the trigger was garbage (long creep and gritty). Decided to sell it after the first mag. They may have updated since then but I wouldn't buy another.
I personally like the 320. Trigger is nice, the grip is plenty comfortable and with the night sights you can't go wrong. Picked one up for $489 NIB. Oh and Sig does have an update for the failed drop testing (it surpassed the industry standard for drop testing, the failure is quite the unlikely drop). Just my opinion.

its that and the distance from the top of my grip to the sights is too tall.

Any hand gun that fires .45 ACP that isn't named Star or Kel Tec!

...for the OP...add $5 to hit the minimum and own yourself one sweet little shooter.
Hurry, you've only got 22 hours left!

If you want a "mid-bore" (.40 caliber) go with the 10mm (you chose the maker) This is the original "do-it-all" self-loading handgun cartridge from the last century.

All the best.

Soooo... It's been a week now since the thread started. What did you get?

Since the OP showed interest, I also owned a P30L. It is a great gun. I never thought the trigger was as bad as others have made it out to be. And I teethed on Walther triggers, so I'm spoiled. Ended up buying a VP9 also. Then sold the P30L for a nice profit with the expectation that I was going to get another one. But after shooting the VP9 a bit, I've decided not to replace the P30L. Too many other toys to get. I like variety.

...keeping with my Ruger theme, I'd forgotten about this one...



The Ruger SR22

...In particular, the model 3620 (see above picture)

This one offers a slightly longer barrel for added bullet performance. The longer barrel also offers a longer sight plane and a little more "weight forward" heft, both of which can aid accuracy.
Sights are adjustable. At .97" wide, it's a slim gun. Alloy / polymer construction keeps things light.
Probably best of all, it benefits from Ruger's rock solid QC, so you know you're getting a quality firearm.
Check's all the plus's.
...worth consideration, to say the least.

I am looking for a nice handgun i can take to the range with my buddies i am stuck between these options( PPQ,M&P 2.0,VP9,P320 and the one i want most but not sure if it outbeats the rest is an hk p30l just looks really great) any let me know what you guys have shot and what you might think would be the best choice

In my opinion, asking people what gun you should buy is about the same kind of question is asking people what women you should date/marry. No one can make that decision for you but you, so go try a bunch out, and make your decision after getting some experience with whats out there based on what you want the gun for. Some people like to have guns just for weekend trips, some like to have guns to try things with that they would never do with their daily carry, some people like to try two guns at the same time, some people like big guns, some people like small guns, some people like guns with traditional stocks / grips, some people like synthetic stocks / grips, some like to put suppressors on their guns, some people like guns they can finger the trigger really fast, some people like a harder trigger. Some people have a preference in gun color, some people care more about caliber. The possibilities are nearly endless. If you really sit down and think about what qualities of a gun are important to you when considering how you will be using it, that will help you create a guideline for the gun you end up buying. I used the internet to find my latest girlfriend, I mean gun, we are talking about guns.

I'm a Glock guy and all my carry guns are plastic fantastics of many types. But for a range gun purchase, the 1911 would fit in that category great! I have a Range Officer in 9mm and love it! I'd never carry it, but at the range it is a tack-driving hoot! I also compete with it and the recoil is next to nothing in 9mm with 43oz of steel. Personally, I had to put a short trigger and slim grips to make it fit my hand, but the 1911 is pretty easy to work on.

 

[CHLChris]

Oops. That was stupid. I should have read to the end of the thread before adding my now-obsolete 2 pence.

@VegetazPride got a VP9

 

[Mikej]

@VegetazPride got a VP9

For now....

 

[Plan-B]

Thanks for all your help ended up getting the vp9

I'd like to think that I was the deciding factor for this despite the likelihood that I posted well after the purchase was made. You're welcome.

 

[DunRanull]

Can't have just one! So MANY choices, so little time! Or money! OF your list I'd tend toward the SIG 320, tho it would not be MY first choice. Glock springs to mind as does S&W. Live and learn, experience is often the best teacher, I always say.

 

[DeanMk]

Thanks for all your help ended up getting the vp9

...and if sometime down the road, you're ever in the mood for a .22, but wanna keep a similar look to your VP9, don't forget about the SR22.
Glad you found something you'll enjoy.
