another spend my money thread!

[Turtle]

OK Ive got that fever. You know what I'm talking about! And I thing the only cure for it is a little medicine in 9mm and in STAINLESS!

I know... I know.... Why not just get a big sexy 1911?? Man I would totally dig one of those. But i like cheap ammo and have a good stock of 9mm. I have the wife and kid thing going and yeah a mortgage. not to mention I get that fever ever so often. So you know the cure! Back to my delema.....

Which to buy? here are my top 3 choices and my current opinions.

CZ 75B < very sexy looking, grip looks thinner. is said to be the only 9mm with all steal frame. (any one have one I can shoot I'm and range member at pops)

Beretta 92 < I shot a beat up rental and Was impressed... But the grip was fat but still decent. and very sexy in stainless.

Sig < sexy, smaller kinda funky trigger. I have never shot one but would love to!

Would love to here from any one owning any of these guns.... or any suggestions for something not listed thats of similar quality.

Please post pix and show off you babies. Motivate me....lol

9mm 1911

 

[turnandshoot4]

I too voted sig, they have a steel frame as well. You want to shoot a few just come on up!

 

[JcJ]

CDNN has HK P7's, $699 for the stainless $589. for the Blue..

Flame away but that is how I would spend your money..

I had no idea that the Sig P250 had a steel frame.

My vote is for a 1911... If you choose a model in the middle of the price spectrum, it should maintain its value very well.

Beretta.

I owned a Beretta, quite aside from carrying one on duty for years, and never regretted a penny of the money I spent. It's very smooth, very accurate, and utterly reliable. Between my gun and my duty guns, I never had a single malfunction in tens of thousands of rounds, in climates ranging from frozen tundra to boiling desert. I loved that gun, and WILL have another sooner or later. It's a big gun, but I was able to carry it concealed just fine, and the size means reduced recoil and better control. I shot mine in IPSC, and it took me to an A class shooter despite being minor power factor. Hit the A zone and power factor doesn't matter. The Beretta made hitting the A zone easy.

The Sig is very nice, but the higher bore axis means more muzzle flip, and it's not any nicer than the Beretta. Certainly not enough to justify the price, IMHO. I loved my P239, and enjoyed shooting the 226, but I liked the Beretta better. Just by a hair, but still better.

Sig. The P226 is one of the best 9mm's available.

A 229 would also be nice.

 

[JeremyVG]

A 229 would also be nice.

I won't disagree.

pass on all of it and get another AR?????
i dont personally like any you listed, but i did like your .45 vs missiles comment

 

[Lars]

2000 rounds of ammo, and 4 days on the range with Tactical Response wasn't an option.
Neither were Glock or HK Pistols.

I am abstaining from voting.

This is the best option posted as of yet. I still voted because I like Sigs.

I want an all metal pistola something shiny and sexy. So thats a huge negative for the Glock. Not to mention I carry a XD-9 full size. Why would I want a Glock? I already have 4 plastic guns. And a metal bersa. love the metal feel.

Training and ammo is a great option! But I get lazy when it gets cold.... whats that cost I'd be down come summer.

 

[paddling_man]

Here ya go! Not too shiny but it's still in "titantium blue." A Richard Heinie Nighthawk Customs Ladyhawk. 9mm 1911. Prohibitively expensive for me but since I'm spending Turtle's cash, money is no object!

Hey, if you can afford it (and if you can afford the Sig you can afford these), you can have a 9mm 1911.

Springfield Armory Loaded 9mm, can get for around $840
Springfield Armory

Para-Ordinance LTC 9mm, a commander sized gun. I know at least one internet site has them listed for $780.

I love my 92. it is reliable,accurate,easy to maintain,and used you can pick one up for $350.00. There was a dealer at the 1500 who had full slides with barrels(M9) for 200...was tempting.Grumpe loves her 92 also.

 

[turnandshoot4]

Here are some sigs for ya! All shiny and all metal!

 

[mettle]

No more polls, just give me your money if you want me to spend it. That IS the title of the thread isn't it?

 

[turnandshoot4]

I thought it was. I want to give mettle my money. Yep, that's what I remember.
