So, I met up with Yoshi on Sunday at the gun club he works at. Nice guy, very knowledgeable and professional. He really broke down the different options, and details about all that needs to be considered when buying a handgun. We started with the extremes of polymer strikers to steel hammer fired DA/SA. He really helped me narrow down the field.
When I left I had it down to 4 guns:
- Sig SP2022
- Berreta PX4 Storm (which I had not previously even thought about)
- Glock 17 (ruled out the coveted G19 as it felt to small in my hand - Sorry to the the seemingly omnipresent G19 Fanboys.)
- Sig P226 (this would have been my first choice if not for the price)
Now, I know I was strongly advised to shoot these guns first, but for practical reasons that was difficult. I live about 2 hours each way from Sacramento, and it's tough to talk a friend in to coming along just to be my range buddy.
But, I feel like at this point I know what I want and I don't need to test shoot them. For an entry level priced gun the decision isn't crucial, I'm sure I'll buy more down the road.
So, the gun I've decided on is the Sig SP2022. This is the preferred weapon of myself and Jason Bourne.
The SP felt good in my hand, and the trigger pull was smooth, and the DA pull was the lightest I felt of the other SA/DAs that I tried. I won't go into a full critique of what I did and didn't like about all of them. When I'm at the range I'm sure I'll be renting a G17 for comparison.
Thanks again to Yoshi for his help.
