Shopping list!

[Timothy]

OK, some are aware that I'm moving to Connecticut very soon.  With that move, I will be able to buy any handgun made with very few exceptions.  I already have a very well broken in 1911 and won't be looking for anything other than a small pocket or light, striker fired 9mm.  I have some time to shop as I won't be able to buy for several months due to the laws here.

I'm leaning towards anything other than a Glock or M&P, I have nothing against them, I just don't like the feel of them, call me fickle...

Suggestions are welcome!

(don't tell Jaybet.....I held an SR9c today and really, really, really liked it....)

Thanks in advance..

CZ sp01 tactical or phantom!!

Try one, youll like it!
I have the cz85b combat and it is a faultless performer. My next will be the phantom, they come with 4 mags as standard here in oz.

EAA Witness, they seem to be good guns and they look cool

Requirements:  Compact, lightweight, concealable......

I already have a full size handgun, a small revolver and access to several others.

I was going to head down this road as well.  I would think with the Glock and M&P off the list go for a Kahr 9mm, Ruger SR9c, or the Walther PPS.  The Kahr and Walther are going to be more expensive but I have read good things about them.  The Ruger I have seen for as little as $379 at a gun show.  I would stay away from the Taurus 709 based on experiences I have read on the internet and handling one.  The other three guns I mentioned just seemed to be built better.

Also have you thought about a compact 1911 in 9mm?  Springfield's EMP is expensive but I know they are good guns.  I have shot my brother-in-laws' and wish I had the money for one.  Again that is going to be around twice to three times the amount of the other three guns I mentioned.

CZ Rami 40S&W would make a good choice. I had one until i had to sell it to fix my trans.

Not to be cliche, but if you want a small cheap 9mm, and are anti-glock, there is always the Kel-tec Pf-9. I didn't like the the p-11, but the 9 is smaller and has a lighter trigger. I'd shoot it before turning my nose up as the price is right.

Or a plinker ? Can't go wrong with a good .22, Browning BuckMark ?

[Timothy]

Kahr seems like a decent gun just ridiculously priced.

Plinking I have covered though a Buckmark may still be in the future.  A compact 1911 in 9mm is a good idea too, just trying to keep the weight down under 20 oz which is making me lean toward a Kel-Tec.  The Walther PPS looks good on paper but I've handled one and I didn't like it at all, every time I released the mag it hit the palm of my hand and won't fall free without problems.  Terrible design IMO.....

and I'm not anti Glock....they just don't feel right to me.  Same thing with the M&P and neither are small enough for what I'm looking for..  I'm looking for a "drop in the pocket", go anywhere gun.  I really like the Ruger but it's still heavy at 24 oz, not much lighter than my snubby.

So many choices, what a great quandary to be facing..
