Please read the entire thread. I have plenty of guns and I'm looking for a carry pistol in either .38 or 9MM. Right now I have a 1911 in .45, H&K USP Compact in .45, S&W Sigma in .40 and Ruger LCP 380.
Here is the deal, I carry my S&W Sigma .40 w/ laser because it's got a lifetime warranty, it cost me $250 new and I've had the trigger machined by S&W for free (lifetime warranty rules). The reason I carry it is because well it's $250, if I drop it who cares, it's $250. *NOTE-I DO NOT WANT A GLOCK!
I bought a Ruger LCP 380 as carry and I absolutely hate it. I'm 6'4" with huge hands and even with the pinky extender it's totally uncomfortable. I've put only about 30 rounds through since I've had it, I'm done.
The gun show is next week and I want to trade it in. Here the ones I like.
Let me start with the Sigma .40 w/ Laser, it's a full size. I carry it because like mentioned, it's cheap, holds 14 + 1 and if something happens to it, oh well.
Here is the Ruger LCP 380 I want to trade in at the gun show.
Here are my choices:
#1-Walther PPQ- Nice compact 9MM with adjustable single or double action trigger, retail $499 with laser.
#2-Walther PK380- Nice compact .38, same trigger, laser, around $399. I'm considering this .38 because the recoil will be less and the magazine obviously holds more. My wife would be more comfortable with the smaller ammo.
#3- Sig Sauer P290- Smaller compact then the Walther's, double or single action staging trigger, this is a 9MM. Retail is expensive at $799 but the Sig rep will be at the show I can get this for $499. Comes with (1) magazine with extender and (1) magazine that's compact. With my big hands the extended magazine should be fine.
Again, I'm not looking for the smallest, I have that and don't care for it. I'm looking for something a bit larger in either .38 or 9. I need comfort.
