Hey Nostatic: If you were here...
You wouldn't have to wait 30 days to get another...
  SigSauer P239 in 40 S&W. $400 including tax... Under the slide, there are no mars in the finish. It looks like it was fired once.  Wait, you've been re-orged out... Come to Texas!!! Austin is almost like LA LA Land...without the taxes...

Red-beard, how would you compare the SIG-Sauer, the HK USP, and the Glock?

When I get a gun, THAT will be the one I get. Of all of 'em I've seen so far, that's my favorite.

I like the P225 a little better, but those are really nice and flat. They feel a little top heavy and there is something kinda fonky about the grip angle and the location of the slide release and my thumb though. I always lock the slide open halfway through a magazine when I shoot one.

I prefer the Browning locked breech design over blowback.

Nostatic, rent a P210 for grins. Once you really learn how to shoot (it wont take you long judging from the pics youve already posted) youre going to want to shoot one of those every once in a while. |

The HK USP has a slightly longer barrel and is only available in 9mm. They weigh about the same. The USP has a larger magazine.
If you want lots of shots, the HK or a Glock. If you want unquestioned reliability, the SIG is the way to go. My next purchase will probably be a Browning High Power Standard. Oh and I just picked up a Colt/Browning 1903 Pocket .25 ACP. And I'm also looking at an early Colt .380 or .32

p239 doesn't really send me. CCW isn't an option here, so i'd rather have something that fits well in my hand and is well balanced. p220 is still my fav I think, but I also want to find a p225 since it is supposed to have the same grip profile as the 220.
I'm thinking a .22 revolver would be nice if I want to take a "friend" to the range... |

A .22 is great for the range, for teaching you sighting, trigger control and breathing. Plus, you can get something like 550 rounds for $8.50. That's a heck of a lot cheaper than even 9mm.
CCW not an option? Try shopping your county to apply. goto www.packing.org and look at the California Page.

Anyone here have any thoughts about a Browning High Power? I have held them before and they feel good in my hand but I have never shot one.
I do have a Browning BuckMark .22 and I like it. It is a nice target pistol. |

Good Pistols. I'm considering one right now. They are heavy, like the 1911.
