V8 Beast Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) I went to the gun store today to purchase a handgun... fail. I liked my old 9mm.. but i kinda want to try a .40. With home improvements costing more than expected I only have enough left for one good gun or two budget pistols. Since it will be the sole gun for home protection I want to make sure its reliable. I'm not really asking for opinions, I just wanted to vent. If I do pick something up today I'll post pics. Edit: I ended up with a sig 2022. Really couldnt see paying $800 for the p226 at this time (almost got a 1911). http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i89/xxtheonlyxx/sig2022.jpg Comfortable in my hand, wife can fire it (big reason why I got a 9mm), its accurate, has night sights, holds 15 +1, pretty easy to take apart and clean. (sorry for the cell phone pic, cant find my camera) Edited January 31, 2010 by V8 Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Oops I meant .45. The one I was looking at fired both 9 and 40 caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I predict you'll come home with a new gun :bangbang: I'm close to picking up a new Taurus Judge just because I think it's bad-ass and I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Time to go back to the range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hmm, nice looking gun. Looks very well-designed, ergonomically. Should be a breeze to shoot. How much is involved in switching it over to .40S&W if you want to, later?(Wifey should have no probs with .40, and the stats on one-hit fatalities are, um, dramatic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to go with placement over caliber on this one (no converting). If the wifey ever has to use it she'll have time at the range and 16 chances to hit her target.

88lx5oh Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 how much did that run ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 how much did that run ya? In another post i think me said somewhere around 5-600$? Nice gun, id like to try out a sig someday not sure if i'd invest in one though but nice nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 In another post i think me said somewhere around 5-600$? Nice gun, id like to try out a sig someday not sure if i'd invest in one though but nice nonetheless. Its a nice size, weight, and is extremely accurate. I cant say I will spend this much on a handgun again, but coming from my last gun I need some reliability... and I just got a little bonus check to waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 nice choice anthony Thanks. P.S. Its not Anthony... I'm his evil twin ~The Black Stig Is this a good first handgun? I am trying to pick something out... Val put 13 of 15 shots in the center of the target today. Based on that I would say yes if you want to spend the extra money. You could get a similar gun that would do the same job for over $100 less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I hear good things about Sig's. Congrats. I am a Glock man. I carry a 23 .40cal. (Love this caliber) Hope to own a Sig one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
