I have been considering some Taurus large frame revolvers. I was looking at the .44 mags and .454's. I know that the .454 can fire .45 long colt but I'm not sure how cheap that is as I've never fired it. I'm leaning toward the USP in .45 ACP now because even though .45 is more expensive, its...

Well, up until this point I was almost sold on the P99 but the caliber issue is really bothering me. I've heard the P99 doesn't shoot the .40 as well since its a fairly light gun and the .40 has a slightly sharper recoil than a .45 ACP due to the higher pressures. I know that 9mm with premium...

This is a question that came to mind in another post of mine. Its really not that important but I was wondering if it's possible to find an extended barrel with compensator for a walther p99 like they offer for they're p22 model. I doubt the compensator would do much good on a 9mm but personally...

I was mistaken, It was a p220 that I fired. Although I have fired a .357 sig and really liked the round. It seemed pretty hot, I imagine being a necked down round it has a pretty high velocity. Kind of like a more useful 5.7mm round, I imagine it performs kind of like a .357 mag? Since its...

I have been lucky enough to fire a P229 and its probably one of the best .45's I've ever used. Unfortunately it just doesn't fit my hand quite as well as some of the others. I agree that it is a great firearm though. I'm still leaning heavily toward the P99. I was also wondering is it possible...

I was mainly looking at autos but I wouldn't rule out a revolver if I find one that I really like. Personally I don't like the look or feel of most revolvers but I do like the offerings from Taurus, notably the raging bull and their other large frame series. I would say Taurus revolvers are the...

So I've decided to buy my first handgun. Before I continue, I'm no stranger to firearms and own several rifles. I also have a decent amount of experience firing pistols of various calibers so I have a basic idea of what I'm looking for. I'd like something that will perform well in a home...

Thanks again for all the feedback. I've been to a few gun stores and looked at P99's. I really like the way they feel and point, I'm starting to lean toward that. Anyone have any personal experience with them. I also really liked the 1911, although the single stack magazine is kind of a minus...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I really like the walter p99 but they seem to be a bit out of my price range. Anyone know how much they tend to go for used. Also, about half of the reviews call the p99 the greatest handgun ever made, and the other half say its plagued with problems. Anyone...

I'm new to THR and was wondering if anyone has any advice on a good semi-auto handgun. I have a good deal of experience with pistols, but this would be the first one I personally own. I don't plan on using this pistol for concealed carry. I'm looking for more of a home-defense and range pistol...
