My brother in law wants a pistol, it will be his first pistol, but he is in the military and has carried a m9 while overseas(beretta). Here are his requirements. Keep in mind these are his requirements, not mine.... so NO BASHING!
Common caliber. Prefers 9mm, but may use .45.
Autoloader.
Manual safety like on a beretta/sig.
Cost under $1200.. that is a fairly high ceiling IMHO, I don't own a pistol that cost over $600, but he wants something fairly nice.
Not a 1911, that was my first suggestion.. for some reason he isn't too into them.
Not a beretta 92, he wants something different than what he carried in the military.
He likes tacticool pistols.
The pistol will be used for in-home defense, but won't be carried.
Sooo, I was thinking maybe a sig, but I don't know too much about them, I've only owned berettas, glocks, and springfield xds. I also considered an HK, to fulfill his tacticool fantasies, but frankly I don't like HKs, they seem too bulky and I don't see the benefits they present over other pistols.
My other thought was a cz, but once again I don't know too much about them either. Any thoughts on cz vs. sig? Is an HK really worth more than the cz/sig? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
