What handgun to get next...

[John3754 0]

The only handgun I currently own is a Glock 19 Gen 4, I'm looking to pick up 2-3 more but I'm not sure what I want. This will primarily be for target shooting/entertainment purposes, secondarily for home defense. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks for your help.

Walther PPQ 9mm - super ergo comfort, accurate and so sweet to shoot,

[GRIZ 3,369]

A 4" 357. 686 or GP100 would be my first choice. I'd also get a Taurus if price were an issue and the price was substantially less.

[SgtToadette 59]

I second the PPQ.

 

There's also 1911s, Glocks of various sizes and calibers, and hammer fired options like Sigs, FNs, and HKs.

 

When I buy a new gun, I like to buy something that's different than what I have already so I can expand my experience. If you already have a medium sized 9mm, try going with something different like a full sized metal gun in a different caliber.

 

Glocks are great for HD, but if you're looking for something more for target shooting, I'd try a 1911 (not that 1911s are bad for HD, I just wouldn't grab one from my night stand if given the option).

ppk (classic handgun that is accurate, reliable, small, and just cool)

1911 (everyone should own one, I do not however:(  )

PX4 (awesome handgun that is reliable, feels great for the shooter, simple, and accurate)

 

now for the creme de la creme, s&w performance center 8 shot revolver in 357....I plan on getting this in the summer

[brocglock23 4]

I'll second that for the PX4. I love mine.

Always wanted a Walther p99 or PPQ. Don't know why I haven't pulled the trigger on that purchase.

And then I'd say something with a 5" barrel. I've grown fond of shooting at 50 yds with my px4 compact hitting man-sized targets. I told my wife I needed at least an extra inch to do a better job and she agreed.

PPQ 5" is out now.

 

[david8613 69]

PPQ 5" looks awesome!

[blksheep 466]

Glock 34

[diamondd817 828]

Remington R1 1911

 

S&W 686+ 4"

 

Beretta M9

 

Glock 22 Gen 4

 

Pretty much covers the history of duty sidearms. With a bit of modern twist.

[BlueLineFish 615]

You have a polymer gun already. If you are jeeping calibers to a minimum get a 9mm 1911. If you are looking to expand then get a 45 1911 or a 357 revo

[illy 1]

1911 

.357 mag revolver (S&W 686.GP100)

.22lr Semi or revolver

[Underdog 1,593]

I would say most likely a full-size S&W M&P 40 and a conversion  barrel, or either a Glock 22 or 23 w/ conversion barrel (and a 9mm conversion barrel).  The alternative would be a Ruger SP101 in .357 with a Hogue grip.  Alternatively a S&W 686 or Ruger GP100.

 

My last thought would be a CZ 75B.

[Howard 538]

It really depends on what you want to do with them.  Do you want another caliber or do you want to stick with 9mm?  I would highly suggest the CZ-75B (yea I am biased as I have two), but they are good reliable guns that are not too expensive.  They can be used in both USPSA and IDPA in several classifications, as they are double action / single action but can be used in single action only mode as well.  I like their trigger pull much better than Berettas and find them more accurate as well.  Everyone should have a 1911 style pistol in .45 acp as well.

[checko 180]

Full sized steel - 1911

Full sized polymer - ppq 5" or fnx45

Compact poly - g19 or ppq

Compact steel - officer sized 1911 or cz75 compact

Sub compact - PPK

 

Wait....thats my wishlist

[Blacksmythe 71]

Change of caliber is always fun. I went 22lr, 9mm, 40S&W, 45ACP semi automatics. Now Im going to wheel guns next. Try a Ruger Alaskan in .454 casull Hell of a caliber. I can't seem to shoot more that 15 lol.

[FLHX 1]

The e STI Spartan or Trojan or just out is the new FNS 9/40L. I have been waiting for this for awhile but I am looking for a 625JM now so putting off the FNS/L until they make the low cap mags for the 9mm.

 

I have the Spartan and it is first rate and inexpensive for a 1911

[brocglock23 4]

PPQ 5" is out now.

thanks. I'm gonna look into this.

A lot of ppq people on this forum.. That's great!

[svt3183 14]

Was at Whittaker Arms yesterday and he had PPQ 4 inch in 9mm and 40 cal in stock. PPQ is my favorite poly.

[71ragtopgoat 23]

I've become a fanboy of the Sig 226 classic. To me it's a wonder gun. It's a 22 that can be converted to a 9mm or 40 cal in a snap.

Eats everything I feed it. Quality made and from watching youtube takes a beating. That and my M&P shield 9mm kind of leave me covered for all I want to do.

Well my stainless pro Raptor has the bling end covered.LOL

[Se9 0]

I have a gen4 19 - 9 mm

Gen3 30s -45 cal

Gen4 23. -40 cal

I try to keep the same brand this way there's not to much diffrence in trigger or the feel of the weapon

When they come out with a Gen4 -30s I'll buy that

I'm also looking to get a 1911 just to have

[Michael2013 56]

Beretta 92FS

CZ75B or Baby Eagle

S&W 686 or Ruger GP100

happen to catch a price?

I would agree, and I have both in stock.

Thanks for all of your suggestions so far, they've given me some great ideas.  A 4 inch 686 plus is definitely something I've been considering.

[HKHockey 5]

If your only handgun is a G19 right now and you use it as a HD/all round pistol I am going to go the unpopular route and say get another one.  2 is 1 and 1 is none.
