Yeah, sorry, sorry. I thought I knew the answer and wouldn't need to post, but the endless "Yes we have no .22LR" song and dance has swirly-filed my plans.
I've fired a few, going back years. I haven't been able to own until just recently.
I have shot a S&W revolver like American private uniformed guards sometimes still use, a Springfield G.I., keltech PF9, and .357 Sig Glock, and a polish communist thing that looked like a .99[SUP]99[/SUP] store version of the Springfield. I think the revolver was a 10, the Sig was a 31, and I'm not sure about the other two. Oh, there was a Buck Mark but that's struck until bullets are found, and a CZ BD that felt great in hand but I could barely reach the trigger so boo CZ.
In the shops I have handled the S&W M&P, one of the XD things but there are so many versions I get confused, a Kimber Solo (which felt nice but maybe it is just dense), a PPS, and a few others, but nothing has jumped out at me as a 'got to own this' gun.
I can afford about $2500 but I would like to be able to get a Texus CHL, a holster, some extra clips, and maybe one of the passive aggressive gun themed tee-shirts as part of that. I would like it to be an all-around range/personal defense gun...I have never been hunting and would use a rifle for that, and I'm not ready to be like my friend who showed up at the range with a satchel of handguns that must've weighed 55lbs.
Help?
