As I said already, I LOVE my Ruger P95. Yes there is a BUT. I bought it as my concealed carry gun. It is heavy and bulky. I am going to have to either trade it or sell it to get the new pistol.
Here is why: If I carry it in my pants, they fall down; Even with a belt.
I need something smaller/lighter and I do not have one of those cool gun stores near me that have a range that you can rent pistols etc...
What I am wanting to know is this. Which of the three choices above would best fit my carry needs if the below criteria are considered?
I know I could buy something for less money, but I don't want to gamble my life on a cheap pistol, and my Ruger only cost me about $350 new, and it has never FTFire/FTFeed/FTLoad, since the second shot my wife fired in it, which was round number 12 ever fired through it. She limp wristed it, and since showing her why it happened, it never happened again. It has been the best firearm in my collection. Never needs work, and I grab it and never have a second thought about whether it will go bang if I pull the trigger. That is a great feeling, and I am looking for something like it in light weight.
If you have any other ideas that I should look into based on my criteria that I may have overlooked, please share that info too.
I mention keep the Ruger in jest really, as I cannot afford the new carry gun without its sale, and I can't use it for its intended purpose. It is almost like buying a sledge hammer to drive in thumbtacks. Don't get me wrong, for a house gun it would be a fine pistol!
Thanks in advance!
