Hi,

 

As I think ahead for my 3 pistol permit I intend to get in the fall, I am looking at several models of semi-autos. I am quite intrigued by the Sig P226 and P229. As a total lefty,

should I even be considering I Sig since they do not offer ambidextrous controls? Any lefties here that own a Sig and love it and can adapt and shoot great with it?

 

Or should I just be considering pistols with full ambidextrous controls, such as the Beretta 92FS, PX4 Storm, CZ 85B, FNP-9, HK UPS 9mm??

Seems I may have some GREAT choices with these models which are highly rated.

 

Thanks

I say head on down to Shore Shot and rent them and shoot them and then see what you like the best. Remember to mention you are a forum member for a discount, and also what ever caliber you are looking at you rent the caliber and get to shoot as many as you like, no you can't take all of them at the same time, but you can shoot all of them in the same range session. As you know you will get a lot of good advise on each of the guns you are looking at and other suggestions, but regardless of what someone else likes, it doesn't mean you will when you shoot it.

One of the main reasons I have an HK P30 is that it is ambidextrous.

 

I have other guns that are not and I can shoot them just fine but for HD, I wouldn't have a non-ambi gun. My HK has never had a malfunction and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another HK. I think I want to get an HK 45 but I'm in house improvement mode so it will wait.

 

I almost bought a p226 but when I felt the HKp30, I had to have it. It's just a great gun but of course, it's expensive for a pistol.

I may test out the Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm, but to be honest, I dont know if I care for that toyish, plastic look of the PX4 Storm.

I my opinion, the CZ 85B and FN FNP-9 have a more quality, classic look about them.

Shoot as many as you can before you commit, you never know what will point and shoot best for you.

I had a Sig 40 and the controls ruined it for me. I couldn't manipulate the slide release at all, and the decocker was weird to operate. Went the Glock route and used the extended slide release and it was perfect.

I have both. Shoot me a msg and maybe we can meet up for you to try them.

The M&P is also ambi...

I should be down to SS in a couple of weeks on a Sunday. More then welcome to put some down range with my 226.
