In searching for a handgun, usually I consider the following items in terms of most important.
1. Reliability.........if it jams, it is useless in a fight, except maybe as a rock.
2. Hand fit............I like guns to fit my hand WITHOUT Hogue handall grips or modifications like Agrip. Do most people feel this way?
3. Caliber.............9mm and above depending on the size and utility of the weapon.
4. Support, aftermarket and factory.......I believe a manufacturer should stand behind their products and I like a weapon that is easy to accessorise. Sig is one such company, I have never had such good customer service. Taurus's warranty is likewise very impressive. Also a gun that nobody makes a holster for is hard to carry.
5. Reputation.......but it is so biased in magazines it is useless. However some gun enthusiasts truly are unbiased and their opinions are worth gold.
How about you guys? I would love to understand fellow shooters thought processes.
