I'm looking to purchase a 9mm. I'm left handed and leaning towards a ambidextrous model like the PT 809. Also, I live on the coast and would prefer a getting a weapon with a stainless barrel, and slide, if available.
I will be using it mainly for target practice and home defense. I plan to get my CCL, but I cannot carry at my job so I don't envision carrying very often.
My biggest concern is getting an accurate reliable weapon. Most of the use will be target practice. I like the PT809 and it is the best priced; however, I don't see very many comments on them in the various forums. I've read various posts regarding problems with other taurus pistols, but they seem to have a great warranty program.
I've read good things about the FNX's and it comes with an extra magazine which would be handy. FN's quality control seems to be respectable and the weapon feels good in my hand.
I like the way the Px4 looks and I'm intrigued by the rotating barrel. Discussions on the forums lead me to believe that it is accurrate and has a lighter recoil. I really like the aesthetics on this gun, even though it only has a right handed slide stop.
I would be interested in any comments about your experiences with these weapons or suggestions. I also just noticed the PT92 AFS....so many guns... so little $$$.
In the interest of full disclosure, I've posted this same message on another forum. I just want to get as many opinions as I can.
Thanks,
