    Why .40?

    Why Sig P250? Why Px4?

    Just curious

    Glock 22/23, M&P 40, or FNX-40. FNP-40 is pretty good in 40 SW.

    CZ-75 in 40SW works pretty well if you want all steel.

    What is your current carry gun?

    ffh

    Sig P250 was dropped by the goverment. Also look at the Sig 2022.

    Like the .40 .. just used to it .. and I've owned mostly SIGs .. but I'm open ... I am leaning toward the Beretta.

    I just want to let you know that you might get some smack for the two weapons that you mentioned. Me personally I would stay away from the Sig and would not really recommend the Beretta. I personally do not have any experience with the Beretta but I do believe that there are better options out there. First I am a .40 guy like you and here are my carry guns

    .40 Kahr PM
    .40 M&PC
    9 M&P Shield

    Of these mentioned I would go with a 9 and go Shield. I understand that maybe this weapon really hasn't proven itself yet but it's bigger brothers have and I have total confidence in my Shield as well as my other two M&P's (.40 full size and .40c M&P's). Second choice would be a Glock 19 or a 23 if you really want a .40 and third a Kahr PM or CM series pistol. I know some don't like Kahr's but mine has served me well so far. You will get some really good responses better than mine shortly. I would post of pic of my Shield carry rig but it's at ATEi getting some work done

    ~ SIG P239 .40S&W ...... want to stay around $500 ... and want a compact not a full size ... the Glocks are to pricey I think. Would like something not so heavy to ... that's why I'm tired of the P239 I've had for 11 years.

    You can easily find a Glock that is within your price range...

    Not at your local shop maybe, but....


    I typed in Glock 23, and this is one of the first things that came up: http://www.impactguns.com/glock-22-g...503052033.aspx

    Now, I'm not saying that I'd buy a Gen. 4, or that I'd buy from this company - my sole point with this being that when I can, without taking more than 30 seconds, find a new Gen. 4 23 for $539, it isn't going to take too much time to find one for right around $500....

    Good luck with your purchase!
