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

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".

Uhhh a Glock in 9mm

Option 5. I have it and love it. I also paid more for it.

5 for sure. 2nd best would be number 6, though many people have a hard time plinking with a sub-compact.

#6 for sure, although i feel i shoot it more accurately than my glock 31 (both with .357, and 9mm conversion barrels)

Uhhh a Glock in 9mm

Number 5. Final answer.

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

6. New Springfield XD Essential 3" barrel, 5 mags and mag pouch for $399.98

I would avoid #4. The reputation of the S&W Sigma line speaks for itself.

#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.

Thanks guys! Option 5 it is. As for the extra mags on option 5 Turners is running a special and in their add it says it comes with the extra stuff so hopefully they honer it. I truly appreciate everyone's input and fast responses.

Plinking at the range???,, what about a .22 or .22 conversion? Super cheap to shoot. 500 rounds for 12$ is hard to beat.

5. Not a fan of XDs, but I'd still pick XD over other guns.
