I don't think I will get it. I don't want a problem if I ever needed it for self defence. Does anyone know of pistol under $600 thats good?
Any gun can have problems,Glock and $2k Les Baer's included.
No line of guns can be "good" 100% of the time,its how the maker responds to issues and how they fix them that makes a gun "good".Some lines of guns have lemons and some have lots of lemons,but all have lemons just the same.
No matter, go try Glock if problems out of the box bother you.By saying that im not over looking the many flaws they have and previously had.But if you gotta have a gun with the best odds of being good Glock is it.
I sold mine tho.
Then id say go look at S&W M&P line and also SA XD line,both on par with Glock.
To me any of those listed just dont do it for me,and i require reliability also.
What made me look elsewhere is every gun is differant and appeals to differant needs,size and features.The line of weapons listed above is good at wearing on a hip and going bang when needed.But forget having small,thin or pocket sized options.Forget about stainless slides or manual safteys.Forget buying one new under $500.And get used to seeing the same gun over and over that just looks like a tool with no personality.
What im saying is there are many lines of guns and many makers,all have people that like or hate them.The reason it is that way is that no one gun fits a persons needs or wants.
Why you think people own more than 1 gun? And not saying because they just like them,its that no one does everything perfectly.
So in saying that sit down and think about a few things like:
What caliber you want/need?
Will it be carried as a ccw constantly or be a bedside HD gun.
What options do you want it to have,like a manual safety or decocker or a SA or DA.
Paper or plastic....eer i mean metal?
Would you be happier if you could get one for $400 or if needed can you spend $800.
BTW buy what you need,not what name is on it.
