need suggestion on first handgun!

[jseiwert]

i will be picking up a new handgun this weekend and I'm torn between a springfield xd-9 and a sig sauer sp2022. those two gun's fit my budget and I am just going to be using it for home defense and range shootings. can you guys suggest one?

[FX-05 Xiuhcoatl]

go to the range and rent them to see if you like them, my $0.02 is try the m&p since you are at it, but if I have to pick from your list I'll go with SIG.

Pfft... if they have one get a CZ-75 SA in 9mm Luger... you wont be sorry.

Love my 2022, was my first handgun too! I'd also shoot the glock 19 though.

everyone has there opinion. I like the M&P9 but that was after holding many different guns and shooting a bunch as well. It just felt right in my hand it was a no brainer after holding and doing the research. You want one that is going to be good for you...do not just pick by name or what other people think, you will end up being sorry down the line.

i went to the range last night but unfortunately it was packed and i didn't have enough time to rent and test out the two guns. does anyone know if these two guns have known problems?

[far from tactical]

The 2022 is a good gun the only thing that stoped me.from Geting that Sig was that it only shipping with one mag and you can still get a glock around the price of that Sig or Xd-9.. and that's my 0.02 cents

Got an XD and ive fired the SIG pro before, between the two i would take the Sig. If you can part with an extra hundred dollars id get a glock. And ive never personally owned a glock

Because the advice we gave the guy that asked them same question at noon wasn't good enough?

Teasing ya a little. All you need to do is find any of the 5 billion threads that already exist on the subject and you will see everybody's responses.

I have the glock 19 and the sig sp 2022 in .40 and I like the sp2022 so much I'm going to buy one in 9mm. Sig SP2022 rules this forum though, everyone has one just do a search, you can't go wrong.

[KandyRedCoi]

dont go by the brand, rent all the guns with in your budget and see which one fits you and you end up shooting better naturally

I can live without the palm safety of the xd but that is my opinion.

[jseiwert]

thanks for the inputs.. i went to the gun store today and picked up a xd9. it's gonna be a long 10 days!
