...but which one? (...really needs to be under $600)
Warning: if it bothers you, This is definitely a TL;DR post! 😎😂
If you saw my thread about my brand new Springfield and my misfeeding & misfiring problem,.. you know my Hellcat 9mm is going to need to go back to Springfield for warranty. As much of a bummer as THAT is,.. it's DOUBLY inconvenient as it puts the weapon out of service for anywhere from 30-60+ days I figure. Minimum.
This was my first firearm purchase and my intent was to get some practice shooting & my CPL here in MI. Before Armageddon!! 😉
So now I'm thinking of getting a second, FULL SIZED pistol as an additional Self defense weapon or possibility even as a replacement for the Hellcat when it's returned.
Probably another 9mm, but I might consider a.40.
I realize this thread could turn into a COMPLETE shit show by asking a question like this,... but since I really am a total newb to pistols & shooting,.. and since at work with my gun owning co-workers, I'm getting the ENTIRE spectrum of weapon recommendations and attempts to sell me their random used weapons,.. 🤦*♂️
Might as well go FULL retard and see about getting EVERBODY's opinions!! Lol
(...Im a loooong time member of a snowboarding forum and if this is goes ANYTHING like asking a similar sort of question about gear there? It's likely Im gonna start a BIG 'Ol FanBoi argument!!) so I apologize in advance. Lol
I would like something with a known history of reliability, and accuracy obviously,... Preferably at a price point at or UNDER $600. I'm not in any position anymore to spend $1000+ on a handgun.
I'm always hearing/reading that Glocks are very popular. And yet I also keep hearing ppl say "they're overrated!" The Same with Sigs. I'm confused about all the different variants of full & compact models tho. Soooo many models to consider. Again,.. it appears the same with the Sigs!
I don't really know anything about either manufacturer or any of them for that matter beyond a few interwebz reviews & YT clips.
Then again,.. I read and watched a number of very positive reviews on the Hellcat before I purchased it,.. but after posting about my misfeed issues, I've learned many folks here seem to feel SA's offerings are at best, somewhat less than stellar? 🤷*♂️
So I feel Im definitely at a disadvantage in making yet another purchase decision.
I guess Im hoping that if I can't get a general a consensus regarding this decision here?
Maybe I can get some kind of a majority of opinions on Which is the "You Can't Go Wrong With THIS Pistol" opinion!
Thanks for reading!
