I shot a variety of 9mm's and a Dan and Wesson 1911. I like the DW the best. I thought there would be more recoil on a 45 but it shot smooth and accurate. I don't want a 1911 just ye,t but do want a 45. Should I get a SIG 220 without ever having fired one? Will I be disappointed after having fired a DW?

Will I be disappointed after having fired a DW?

 

Likely.

I feared that I would hear that. Any non-1911's I should be looking at? This being my first gun I want to keep it simple. I am putting a larger value on dependability.

I would definitly shoot it first, but damned if I know who owns one. 1911's, on the other hand, alot of us have. So what have you decided on in 9mm? And how many handgun permits did you get?

I got 2 permits. The detective was very cool. He said that I don't really have to even wait 30 days between gun purchases, just to not try using both of them at the same time. Not sure if he is correct about that. I'm going to Shore Shot on Friday to try out the 220 and a bunch of others. I'm still not closed to the idea of a 1911. I was thinking about getting a Kimber Custom II or a Taurus PT1911, but I heard that they need a break-in period and are a little finicky and I don't want to get too complicated with my first pistol. I'm not sure which 9mm I want yet but so far the pistols I liked shooting were the Beretta PX4 and Walther 99.

Don't listen to that cop, 30 days between handgun purchases is the law. I think you have the Px4 confused with the 92F. You shot my 92F, not the Px4.

Come on you know you want one. LOL!! This is my very first gun. It is a little hard to master but the fun is in the challenge. No need to start with a 22 sell it and move up etc etc.

A 9mm and a .45 make a great pair to own. If you have some interest in Sigs, check out the P226 in 9mm if you can. I absolutely love mine. You could always start with the 9mm and then get a 1911. I plan on getting a 1911 as my next handgun (hopefully this week or next). Good Luck! :handgestures-thumbup:

 

Yeah... don't listen to that detective.... :?

I remember shooting your 92F, I shot the PX4 when I took the Steps class with Anthony. Did you ever shoot a PX4?

Spartacus99, PM me if your interested in shooting a sig p226 9mm I will let you shoot mine.

 

For your first I would get a 9mm ammo is so much cheaper = MORE RANGE TIME.

 

for me next purchase will be a 1911 as well even though I really like the 92fs inox
