Nice man. I was at the range next to a guy shooting one of those. Every time he fired, it just reverberated through my bones, lol.

I just got this a few days ago:

Still don't have one of those. Looks like a nice piece man.

I need a light for my .40. Looks nice man. I don't have any experience with CZ, but my uncle loves his .308.

You guys got some nice stuff, im def jealous!

I got a newb question...

Sig or Taurus?

Ive been pretty set on a 9 for a while....

Im thinking the sig...the 229 dak is pretty sweet....

I know a few peeps who have Taurus's and they have had nothing bad to say.....so I guess im curious what major differences there are?

[Pandemic]

Depends on how much you want to spend. Sigs are more expensive but they run like clock work. Taurus... meh.

Glock 17 or S&W M&P 9 are two good options for polymers

There isnt anything wrong with Taurus. I own a Colt, a Sig and a Taurus.

The Sig is a little better made and more expensive. For the money (around $350 for most) you cant beat a Taurus. If your not wanting to pay the $600-$700 for most Sigs then a Taurus might be for you.

Taurus is not like a High Point or anything.

I have ran 500-600rds through my Taurus PT111 since it was new without any problems. Its not as accurate as some of the Sig 9mm I have shot but its less than half the price.

I like to CC the Taurus.

Yea I noticed that the Sig is used by a shit load of agencies etc.

Even the NJ State Police use them.

When I was reading about them I read that the 229 has a DAK version so you have two tigger rest poins(6 and 8lbs respectively). I think that's pretty sweet.

Do any of the Tarus's have that?(Double Action Kellerman)?

I like efficiency and it must be a solid beast if the Seals all the way down to NYPD and NJSP use it.

Ill have to check those two out.

If $700 is all the Sigs go for, then that's a good price. I honestly never look at prices because when i've read, I had no intention of buying anything anytime soon. If I ever get one, it'll be in the next few years, so prices are unknown to me.

I was expecting to spend over 1k for a good handgun, so excuse my newbishness lol.

I like that with the Sig 229, you can change out the accepted ammo just by changing the barrel and like other sigs, you can dissessemble by just removing the magazine after locking the slide.

Looks like they are around $8-900 for the DAK.

You can pick up a Springfield XD for 400-600 depending on what you want. It strips down with no tools in about 5 seconds. Never had any issues with my .40.

I was born and raised in a backwood countryside in Northern Mississippi. Started shooting when I was 6 with my father. By the time I was 8 I had my own 12 gauge shotgun and spent my Winters when I wasn't in school in the woods hunting with my cousin.

When I turned 14 my family moved to Orlando Florida and I didn't get to shoot for a good 6 years until I met my wife. Her father is a real gun enthusiast with a collection of over 50 guns of various types.

I haven't personally owned a gun since I sold my last gun, a S&W Sigma 9mm before I left Florida 6 years ago.



Now with that said I am buying 2 pistols next month for mine and my wife's 8th wedding anniversary. These will be for concealed carry since we will both be taking the class after getting more familiar with whatever we choose to get.

Right now I am looking at a few but I am leaning towards a Glock G26 or G27, other pistols I am looking at is the Taurus PT-111 and PT-140, and last but not least the Ruger SR9c (I like the looks of this gun but it is designed as a high capacity and with the new laws I am not sure about it).

My father-in-law is trying to talk my wife into getting a .38 special but she is against revolvers as carry weapons. I was originally looking at a Taurus 605 for me and 85 for her but she vetoed the revolver idea lol.

I am really looking forward to putting some lead down range since it feels like I have lost touch with a part of myself not having fired a gun in so long.
