I would go for the P9. I wouldn't worry about buying a used gun and I think it is a better value at that price.

Another vote for the UBG Canute.

I generally prefer leather and I don't worry much about holster wear. I figure it gives the gun character. Of the 5 holsters I have, I would rank them in this order: 1. UBG canute 2. Kramer #3 3. Kirkpatrick 4. Comp Tac 5. High Noon BTW, Fight Club is one of my favorite movies!

Just thought I would chime in. I bought a M&P 9 for my girlfriend and we both love it. As others have mentioned, the ergos is where this gun shines. I just completed the DIY trigger job. It was easy and it made a big difference. I am now getting a crisp 4.5 lb break with almost no over...

I would go with the EMP. I debated buying one, but ended up with a P9. As much as I like the P9, I still want an EMP.

I have a P9 that has been 100%. I think it is the perfect size for a carry gun.

I think the CW9 will be much better for carry. I love the full size M&P's, but I do not like the grip on the compacts. My pinky hangs off the bottom unless I use the extended magazine. The CW9 will be easier to conceal and it will allow for a full grip (unless you have very large hands). I...

Who makes a 1911 like that? It sounds ideal, except for the lower capacity.

I would go with the XD or the M&P. FYI, 14 round mags are coming out soon for the M&P.

I have heard that Kahr has pretty good customer service. Fortunately I have not had to use it. I bought a P9 about a month ago and it has been 100%.

The Dan Wesson 1911's have very small logos that are not very noticeable.

You could probably find a used Browning Hi Power in .40 for around $600. How about a CZ 97B in .45 or a CZ 75B SA in .40?

The only 1911 I have a lot of experience with is my Taurus, and it has been a great gun. They just released a stainless model. If I were going to buy another, in the price range you specified, I would look at: Springfield, Kimber, Dan Wesson, Colt, and Smith&Wesson. I have had my eye on this...

I bought a XD9 SC for my girlfriend and we ended up selling it. Functionally it was a great pistol. The main reason we sold it was that my girlfriend had trouble racking the slide and recoil was a bit snappy for her. We replaced it with a full size M&P. The XD9 was ok, but I much prefer the...

I am very happy with my M&P 9. No problems at all. I am thinking about getting a M&P 45.

Fitting a new single sided safety is pretty easy to do yourself with a small file. Instructions are here.

Yes, that is all you will need to replace the mag tube. I had a heck of a time removing mine. I am sure having the proper tools would help. I had to put the receiver in a bench vise, use penetrating oil, and apply heat. In order to get a grip on the mag tube, I wrapped the tube in a strip of...

I recently had to make the same decision. I bought my GF a XD9 sub compact. That was a bad move. The recoil spring on small guns is a lot stiffer and she had trouble racking the slide. I sold the XD9 and bought her a full size M&P 9. She is able to operate this much better. If I had it to...

I have shot all three. You can't go wrong with any of them. I prefer the M&P. To me, it has the best ergonomics, and I can shoot it faster (accurately) than any other gun I own. I think the Glock is a little more compact, which may make it better for a CCW.
