bang for buck?

[indoorsoccerfrea]

Which gives the best bang for buck? I am looking for a self defense revolver or auto-loader for concealed carry that is relatively inexpensive. First off; revolver or auto-loader...

Police Surplus SIG p225 (?)

I'm a big fan of the J frame size revolver for CC.

Considering the $400 I paid for my S&W 642 (J-frame revolver), I think it's the last gun I would get rid of.

It has been within two feet of me continuously since I bought it six months ago, save for a few incidences, such as going into the post office, an elementary school, and the courthouse where I can't carry. It's not the only gun I carry, but it's so small and light that even when I strap on a 1911 or something else, the J-frame still tags along in any of five places on my self.

Glock 19, good CCW size & 15 rds 9mm, + decent price

I agree with the used Sig, they are actually model P-6 and were German Police guns. They can be found for around $300, 9mm and carry 8+1. The one I recently picked up has in great condition internally, had some holster wear and shoots like a dream.....

i found the same one you just mentioned. should i be leery of sites that ship guns to you? or is that normal...

Ruger p95's run about the same price new as the Sig's.

Not the prettiest guns around, but they run reliable and can carry 15+1.

I purchased my P-6 from Military Supply as well, they are only 25 miles from me so I went to their store. They have a nice set-up there and I would trust them to ship. In my opinion I would not buy the "refurbrished" one as I did. In my opinion all they did is give it a real good cleaning. I picked up some grips on e-bay and when I remove the old ones there was a fair amount of dirt and dust. Easy enought to clean and lube but with it there I would not consider it as refurb'd. You can find extra mags for it in the classified section of the Sig Forum.

I love my CZ P01, but I have to concur that for right now, the surplus SiGs are the best buy you can get, if only two mags is OK.
