I had a P95 and I honestly didn't like it too much so I personally wouldn't recommend it. The LC9 is more of a LTC gun than a plinker. My buddy has a Sigma in .40 and the trigger is horrendous. I'm not a fan of XD's, btu at the same time that seems like a pretty good price, especially with 5 mags so I'd go with that. And seeing as it's for plinking I'd get the 4".

He is an anti-gun guy and he said. "Well, you can't eat ammunition". I replied with "When I'm starving to death with a case of ammunition, who's door do you think I am going to knock on?"Comment

I think it is pretty safe to say that #5 is the winner.

I would avoid #4. The reputation of the S&W Sigma line speaks for itself.Ok so here are my options. Let me know what you guys think and which one you would go with. I want a 9mm for plunking the the range, my 40 is hurting my pocket book so want just a fun range gun.
Options:
1. Used Ruger p95, for $250, with 3 mags
2. New Ruger P95, with 2 mags for $319
3. New Ruger LC9 sub compact 1 mag
4. New Smith & Wesson Sigma 9mm, for $299, with 2 mags
5. New Springfield XD Essential 4" barrel, 5 mags and mag pouch for $399.98
6. New Springfield XD Essential 3" barrel, 5 mags and mag pouch for $399.98
#3 is a neat little pistol, but if I was looking for a range only pistol, I wouldn't opt for what is essentially a pocket pistol.
For similar reasons, I see no advantage to #6 over # 5. Again if it's a range only proposition, I think the 4" barrel is the way to go.
Between #1 and #2, a lot would depend on the condition of the used P95, but overall I think the XD is a better platform than the Ruger, so if the cash was coming out of my wallet, I would opt for the 4" XD.Comment
