DA/SA guns?

[LPPOsecurity]

I got a friend who's new to guns shopping for his first one and he likes DA/SA so I'd like suggestions of all that u can think of in that category

 

[msquared]

The only ones I have experience with in that category are Sigs. Hard to go wrong with them if you can afford it.

Might need to narrow it down a bit to get good suggestions. Is it for carry? Home? Shooting sports? Caliber preference?

 

[jbombelli]

Beretta 92FS, CZ-75B or 85B. Those are my personal favorites.

This would be carry/ home defense and of course range time

 

[funkeecowboy]

Sig's are great but they're addictive! I'd recommend the Sig route as well though if it's too pricey Taurus makes some nice DA/SA guns expecially the PT945 and similar.

Smith and Wesson 3rd gen series.....3913 or 3914. Slim 8+1 shot steel 9mm. Great shooters, easy to carry, great for home defense and meets the requirements you posted.

I'm also a SIG fan in DA/SA. They work well. Look hard and you can find CPO P228s and 229s for $450ish.

I love my Sig P229, great for home defense and I've never had a problem CCing it.

 

[LPPOsecurity]

Great suggestions what else is out there beside sig, I own a p229 so I'm familiar with those

 

[U.S. Patriot]

Beretta 92FS
CZ 75/85
Sigs
My favorite: FNP

Another for Sig...my two tone P220 is my favorite

 

[scottm]

look at any revolvers? you just said DA/SA, not just semi's, especially for a first gun/ home defense gun, hard to go wrong with the wheel.

you're telling me, I've bought 2 p230's within 3 months.....


the fnp is pretty good, haven't really handled the cz's, the beretta's are really good, and as mentioned, alot of the taurus semis are extremely good pistols for the money

One not mentioned yet - HK.

Sigs and Berettas. The Beretta PX4 line is probably the most economical. I prefer the Sigs, but there is a cost differential there for sure .

Gotta throw some love to the Ruger P series handguns as well. Low cost, and will not give you any problems. Of course, there are nicer pieces out there, but if your friend is looking for a low cost weapon that will be easy to use and handle abuse, I wouldn't hesitate to go this route. I've had mine for over a decade and it's performed flawlessly through thousands of rounds.

I concur on the Ruger DA/SA pistols. Great entry level pistol as well as a keeper as a first pistol.

Also CZ75 or cheaper variants, Witness, Jerico, etc.

Ruger DA/SA (e.g. P95); a bit "blocky" for concealment, but possible and they are reliable. For a little more, a Ruger SR9c or Sig 2022. FNP-9. For even more, a Sig 225 or 228.

^this.

I like the ruger p series also my friend has a 345 no complaints and easy to handle. Sigs are great also worth the extra money.
