Good mid-price range DA/SA handgun-any suggestions?

[KG1]

If .45acp suits your fancy I run a DA/SA Bersa Thunder UC PRO.

I'm going with the CZ 75 or Beretta 92 recs for a range gun. Yeah they are big and heavy, but great to shoot. Felt recoil not bad at all. Either can be had new for around $500, and 9mm range ammo seems to be available pretty consistently at Walmart, at least in So. IN.

I would check out CZ's line of pistols. They offer many different sizes and options. I carry a P-01, a P-06 and a P-09 (not at the same time).

I love my Sig SP2022!

As far as HK etc those are fine firearms but in Indiana not a lot of availability of "off the shelf" accessories so if that matters to you it could be a consideration.

Hahah. We know that the OP has the internet, so aftermarket support is only an issue if no one makes it. Plenty of holster makers do CCW options for HK products. Dale Fricke, JM custom, raven, even safariland. There is no good 'shelf' for truly great aftermarket accessories. It's all on the net.

How many magazines do you have for it?

 

[USMC-Johnson]

Sig 2022 would be my first go to for that...in 9mm if at all possible as holsters are available for it.

We all have the internet, my point was some folks like to be able to walk into a Gun store and buy magazines or other parts off the shelf. Go to any number of gun stores in Indiana and you will find S&W, Glock, Ruger, SIG maybe Browning mags in ample supply but few H&K and a few I am probably omitting.

My first carry gun was the Bersa Thunder 9 UC pro. I think it's a great first handgun. Big controls, optional safety features, decocker. $435 Out the door a few years back. The .9mm .40 & .45 all run the same size and setup.

All that said, mags are really expensive and I only carried it about 8 months and don't carry it today. I out grew it quickly.

Holsters, internet. Night sights, manufacturer for freshness. Stores up here have HK mags, OP is from Indy, I hate to say it but I don't believe that there are no stores with p2k/sk/uspc/p30 mags in Indy. Tops gun or hkparts would be easier, still.

The Canik55 TP-9 is at the top of my wish list right now. The titanium finish model looks smoooooooove.... Can be found online for $320.

SIG SP2022 can be had for less than $400. I think it is a remarkable pistol for its price. Canik55 clones of CZs can be picked up for $300 and are perhaps an even better deal.

Not to start a firestorm or derail the thread, but the Zastava M57 new production model can be found for $240 - maybe less if you shop around. If you don't hit them with a shot you may deafen them with the noise, or blind/burn them with the fire that pours out with each round.

The gun is steel and heavy and you are guaranteed to lose hearing in one magazine. My experience is these bad boys shoot flat and fast. You will need a good holster.

Anyone have any suggestions for a carry pistol, decent quality decent price in DA/SA?

I never said (or ment to imply) there were no H&K products. I stated that in "most" Indiana gun stores the S&W, Glock, SIG, Browning etc have more availability of products than other makes ie H&K etc on the shelf on any given day.

Anyone have any experience with the Walther PK380? And is it pronounced "wall-THer" or "wal-Ter"? I've heard both.

Wall-ther

For me, a .380 should be a small gun, otherwise why not have a 9mm? The pk380 is a little large for my taste in that caliber.

 

[IrishIndy17]

Any opinions on Walther quality?

 

[db1959]

Walther Quality is excellent. What I do when checking out a gun I am interested in is google "*name of gun* problems". You'll get lots of hits.

 

[d.kaufman]

Love my eaa witness p carry. Reasonably priced and accurate as hell

Smith & Wesson 39 or59 series,( lots to choose from) are real nice guns. But my EDC is a Makarov PM.
