Finally after 3 months I will be picking up my pistol permit. OK, so I decided to purchase a 9mm over the 22cal. 9mm is the second inexpensive ammo and I want a little more power.

 

What do I do now? Looking to spend no more than $500 for new. Go to gun shop and check out the 9mm? (cabela

Hook up with a member here in you area that knows where to shop and let you feel your way threw a local gunshop.

500 bucks? That's Taurus and Ruger range.

 

600 bucks and your in Glock, XD, M&P, Beretta FN range.

 

700 bucks or more and your in Sig, H&K, 1911 range.

I seen the xd service 9mm for 499.99 how that?

 

S&w sigma its da and many people complained about the trigger pull but said send the pistol back to s&w and they will fix it for free.

 

Tarus 24/7???

 

Why do some companies say 9mm luger and others 9mm. is there a difference?

The XD is a good pistol.

most modern (9mm) pistols shoot 9mm, aka 9mm luger, aka 9mm para, aka, 9mm parrabellum, aka 9x19

Beretta just lowered the prices on its Storm Px4 models. They can be had for mid $400s. The Beretta Storm is a nice shooting pistol. It has a unique rotating barel design that reduces felt recoil better than any other gun I have ever shot. And it's a Beretta, so the quality is there.

Dont be afraid of buying used. =)

 

Cant go wrong with a Beretta 92fs.

Darn you - now I have another gun to consider.

Go to Shore Shot pistol range and rent a few. They're located in Lakewood. I tried several guns there and they let me shoot for free since I purchased a gun there. I just had to pay for the ammo I used. I don't know if that has changed.

It's still the same policy. You pay one $10 rental fee and can try out as many guns as you like within the same caliber.

Even if you have to wait a couple of weeks, save up for what you really want. You won't regret it.

 

CZ has a great gun. Look at the features. I like double action semi.

very true the rotating barrel does make a difference. i have a beretta px4 in 40 cal, and shot glocks and xd 40 cals side by side and the felt recoil is less. plus she shoots really accurate. with that price drop, its a nice deal on a really nice gun.

The only 9mm I have left

 

Altho I may be in the market for another soon, but never getting rid of the 92. LUV it.

My favorite is the Beretta Cougar (or now the Stoeger Cougar). I think it has the best elements of the 92FS in a more compact package. There is no reason a 9mm needs to be as big as the 92FS.

The Cougar INOX is a sweet looking pistol.

is that the PX4 Storm Full size???? how is the trigger pull?

 

 

how is the ruger sr9 or sr9c??

 

maybe i should go down to SS and try these pistols out on the range.

I own a Springfield XD9 and love it , bought it a Butches Gun World in Vineland , believe i paid $550

There's alot out there to look at. Everybody has their favorites. Shoot as many as you can get a hold of and choose what feels most comfortable in your hand. Enjoy!!

You shot mine tonight, what did you think?

The DA trigger is long and heavy, but the SA trigger is fine. (PX4)

The SR9 trigger has a few hiccups but it's gotten better after a good break-in.

I REALLY like the PX4. Was that the PX4 Type F? It just felt right in my hands. Especially with that rubber grip you had on. The DA pull was pretty heavy but that doesn't matter to me, as I could always cock it.

 

I'm heavily considering it now.

My vote is for the tried and true 92FS platform.

I just picked up an INOX Brigadier 9mm a few weeks ago. Don't know why I waited this long to get one, but its easily one of my favs now.

 

Can't go wrong.

I called Beretta today and they said the Px4 Full and sub compact the price has been reduced. Tomorrow I will be stopping at a gun shop. I will fill you guys in what I looked at.

Come to the Bullet Hole this Tuesday and you can shoot my Px4.

I went to a gun shop in Rahway, the guy their was very helpful and provided a lot of knowledge on NJ gun laws, pistol, trigger pull on revolvers etc etc.

 

I handled the following pistols: px 9 full and sub-compact Beretta, sr 9, sr9c and XD. ( also a couple of 22 cal pistols for my second permit)

 

I liked the px 9 Beretta full a lot.

Ray Ray,

 

Thanks for the offer. But I just map quest to the Bullet Hole. It would be a good trip.

 

thanks again.

Let me know what 9mms your interested in, there will be a few this Tuesday.

Were you at the Firearms Guild? It has been a while since I was there last (so take my info with a grain of salt), but their prices were on the VERY HIGH side. I am glad you are giving your business tp a local Jersey establishment, but there are definitely cheaper ones out there not far away.

yes I was at the Firearms Guild. I do not know much about prices yet but the px 4 was not $500 for cash or credit. Its was in the upper $500 range. And that was not with tax and the other fee. (forgot the name of the fee, some kind of check)

 

I will be using the firearms price request in this NJ Gun Forums.

Today I shot the Glock 17, Glock 19, and Beretta 92FS. First time shooting a pistol but have fired revolvers. There is a big difference between a revolver and pistol trigger pull. The pistol pull is so much smoother. I learned a lot today but I am still undecided on which 9mm to get. Need to see more and think about it more.
