Some how I knew you'd get a kick out of it.

Something similar to a Glock but not a Glock....? Hmmm.

Where do I find one? I'd like to fire one before I purchase though, is that possible?

 

[Slab]

the G27 in .40?

glock or nothing!!....lol

 

[mettle]

I am wanting 9mm, if anything to keep this thread on track...

 

[40calPUNISHER]

On a serious note, it's going to be hard to find something that is reliable, cheap and not a Glock. A Kahr is going to be your best bet.

You didn't just say that out loud did you?

Absolutely ... and it needs to be repeated often.

The reason is that so many people seem intent on pushing lightweight j-frames onto women for a carry gun. That includes gun shop sales people and well-intentioned husbands and boyfriends.

If they're not the worst choice for a novice shooter, they're in the top 5. I understand the "she won't carry anything else, so we don't have any choice" thing, but it's just not a good idea.

I agree, the 642 is a jarring experience in terms of shooting, +P or not...

Is that what they call it on the down-low?

Don't be jealous sweetie!

M&P compact is the best of the bunch in my opinion.

Springfield EMP

Only if you are a 1911 fan. If not M&Pc or XDsc.

I just wanted to be one that started another Glock thread.



Actually, I've looked at the 26, are there alternatives to a 26 in the sub compact department?

Kahr seems just too expensive,
Kel Tec, I don't want to work on something to get it to run

What other brands are there that a quality for a decent price AND dependable?

The Hi Point C-9 is a nice reliable weapon, but it is inexpensive and the gun snobs will laugh at you.

G26 and 2 G19 mags in the pocket.

It's like insurance.

 

[mvician]

There are other alternatives, but nothing EQUAL to

I think the G26 makes a great carry gun, but I opted for the Kahr PM9 for my everyday carry. It really disappears and is very lightweight. Yes, pricey, but I was lucky to find mine hardly used at a great price. I also have a S&W 642 for those days I want to just pocket it and go.

Hmmmm....... you're starting to sound like and "obsessed" H/P nut to me!!!

 

[nickishere104]

i carry the glock 19 most of the time but i also have the kel-tec p-11 but if your looking for a small carry wepon i would have to say the S&W airweight 38 spl is a good option

I believe the OP inquired after quality weapons . . . .

(sorry, couldn't resist).

In all honesty, though, H/P's are fine plinkers and fun for that purpose, but you ought to think long and hard before trusting your life to one.
