First off, I've had some issues with my Mossberg 500A in the field turkey hunting the past few seasons. I've owned this gun since I was 18 (now 28), and it's been a good gun for weekend trap shooting at the cabin, and I've taken a few birds with it. However, two seasons ago, I shot a gobbler at...

Thanks, guys. Gun stores around here are STILL picked through with no immediate ideas on when new inventory will arrive. Only went back yesterday to handle a the PF9 and the Bersa again. The PF9 they had was camo, and looked horrendous. The Bersa, while it fits and balances well, truly is just...

Can I ask why? Again, that's me truly wanting to know why, not trying to come off condescending . I went to GM the other day to handle some more that weren't available at the local shop. I held a PM9 (liked that a lot) and P238. The P238 is very light, and felt good in the hands. Still very...

Another friend suggested I actually go handle the P238 (saw a Rosewood at GM yesterday). I just don't think I like the idea of a SA in my pocket, and the price...wow! Is this price justifiable in comparison to what you get with the lower price point guns (Kel Tec, Ruger Bersa, etc,.)?

Alright, went around and held a few and talked to a really knowledgeable guy at the one local shop. LCP is out. Too small, and I hate the relatively smooth slide and low lying sights. The guy at the shop (also went to Gander, but didn't talk tech to the guys there since I like the smaller shop...

Thanks for the input everyone. I have a lot to think about. I know the calibers are night and day difference, but I've found I can find quite a few smaller frame guns in the .380 locally than .40s or .45s. I hadn't considered 9mm since it seems the general consensus from a few people I...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm not new to firearms, just to handguns, and after getting my CCW permit this summer, I've put off purchasing a handgun for longer than I would like. I've fired a variety of .45s and 9mms, and one .38, so I have a pretty good feel for the size gun I would...
