I chose the G19 and G23. Both are very nice and shoot good. I personally can shoot better with the G19.

Here in Arkansas you can get brand new glocks all day long for $480.

i might be able to get mine right under 400..but tahts w.o night sights.

 

wow...hook a brother up...LOL!

 

I want to go shopping with you and your cousin

 

LOL. Id buy your 26 if it wasnt a sub-compact.

Im stuck between the 19 and the 23....maybe ill just buy both

 

XD's are generally in the mid to upper 400's. But with your hook up on the Glocks, that's the route I would be taking.

Let us know what you get!

 

I got my 23 from a reputable dealer for $520 - most places I checked wanted $600- Expensive, but I've learned to shoot accurately with it and I love the way it is built.

 

Ive got the good old Colt 1911 Commander .45. I love the way it shoots and its very balanced. My glock shoots nice but doesnt feel as tight as the 1911.

 

now now, don't go starting in with 1911 talk.

There is no comparison and I can't wait to get my 1911 loaded

 

its like apples and oranges... so I agree... but my 1911 shoots awesome... my glock is my everything gun... but if i had to pick one, id pick the 1911

 

The Springfield GI .45 1911 is pretty inexpensive $500-600. The cool thing with the 1911 are the endless number of aftermarket parts. It can grow along with your skills.

 

I have a 1911...sort of. It's an LAR Grizzly in 45 winchester magnum. I have a .357 mag and a 10mm conversion for it too. Mine is a stainless steel version of the pic below

 

heres my baby.. only i have cherry grips on it now

 

That's nice. I'd like to see the cherry grips. How about this one?

 

I'm kinda partial to the Strider Gunner Grips

 

I wonder why I've never seen those before. Tell me about them, if you don't mind....

 

The gunner grips are marketed by Strider and designed the late Rob Simonich, both knife makers. They're made out of G10 fiberglass the same kind found on Strider knives. G10 is basically 500 layers of fiberglass in an eighth of an inch. I guess it's also the material they use for the cargo bay floor of the space shuttle. The gunner grips have a pretty good feel to em. They can be found for about 60 bucks.

Military Morons has some good closeup shots.

I cant wait till i win the lottery, im gonna own soo many guns! My house is going to have secret compartments and tunnels where the walls will be covered with weapons!!!
