Glocks have a weird grip angle. Yeah you can get used to it but then you'll shoot low on every other handgun you own

that's not a Glock. Not a fan.

I own the VP9 and love it.

That was probably my second favorite after the Sig, but the grip was like sandpaper. Is that an option you can change?

You get 3 different sized backstraps. It may help putting a smaller backstrap

Love my VP9

Yes

Buy the Sig you like, you won't regret it. I own the Ruger also. I take it to

The Ruger was actually my Bro-in-law's gun. He said the same thing.

They are all great choices. See if a range nearby has those models so you can try them out.

Zedhead

I have fired all of those except the Canik.

Glock 19 is my choice but I was introduced to it as part of my job.

I've been shooting a bit and trying to decide what I like best too. The Sigs so far feel best in my hand.

John Doe

10/12/20 4:44pm

Those were my thoughts exactly. Glocks were ok, but both Sigs I tried just felt better.

I don't love it, but they are solid guns. I went with H&K (P2000 & VP9)

I've heard a lot of great things about the VP9. I have a friend that just raves about his. But yeah, for carry single

Did you try FN five-seven? It’s a pretty nice gun too.

robin

10/12/20 4:45pm

Have not. But maybe a second trip to the range wouldn't hurt. Had a lot of fun last time.

This is my next purchase.

I'm a XDm fan. Buy what you like.

Also with the G26 you can get mag extensions for pinky issue.

Zedhead

10/12/20 4:48pm

To me, it's all about the feel. The quality may vary a little, but if you don't

CougBlu

10/12/20 4:54pm

If you can, try shooting these guns to see what feels the best. The G19 is a “safe” first handgun to buy but there are

I have loved my VP9.

It's almost hard to buy a bad gun as long as you don't go cheap.

godawgs

10/12/20 5:06pm

You liked the single/dual action? Really?

CougarAndMerlin

10/12/20 5:25pm

SA/DA have the best triggers. You can easily just cock the hammer back if you ever get in a sketchy situation and then

CougarTailDevourer

10/12/20 5:58pm

I liked the added safety aspect. The longer trigger pull on the DA would take some getting used to.

cruiserhead

10/12/20 7:24pm

Try the Springfield xd. And for “safes” look at vline.

blueaussie

10/12/20 5:34pm

VP9 all day. Sig next, others are a drop off after that. You should also consider FN in this group tho, to be thorough

CLCougar

Seems like a lot of recommendations for this. I did like it too.

Controversial take: I don't enjoy firing handguns

byujdmba

Take some training.

Same. I think shooting paper with a handgun is boring. I like skeet shooting the best, long range rifle shooting is also

CougarTailDevourer

10/12/20 5:56pm

I much prefer shooting steel with a handgun (or any gun) over paper. Paper has it's place as you are learning (because

All of those are excellent options.

I am a sig guy, I have a .40 S&W handgun and a M400 Tread (AR-15 Platform).

Can't go wrong with Sig or HK. I'm a HUGE fan of CZ. The CZ 75 P-01 and SP-01

Penske Material

10/12/20 6:43pm

Hm. Didn’t try a CZ. I’m thinking I may want to go to the range again

cruiserhead

Have had the VP9SK for a year and it is by far my favorite.

Radioactive Coug

I would look at Walther and Springfield xd lines too
