I've got $525, what type of handgun should I get?

[CMDRShepard]

I disagree. Simply because not everyone likes burgers and sometimes goes to that burger joint because your best friend swears that they are good but you would rather have a chicken sandwich instead because you can't stand red meat.

Lol this happened to me. My girl took me to Burger 21 for the first time and for some odd reason I got the Chicken Marsala rofl!

i never said glocks were greatest, or the best, or anything of the sort. The question was asked, "why would you get a glock when you can have a CZ?"and i answered why someone would. It is a valid point, the factory being in town, whether you like it or not.

you are part of a one sided "i'll show you" internet debate that has me chuckling. hell i want a CZ. one of those sweet 9mm's. what are they? the 75? yeah.

I carry a glock. 19, and a 17 sometimes. They will be around forever, I dont need to sink any money into them, ever. I can give them to my sons and they will be able to keep them forever, or have them replaced for free. To me, that value is great.

I have an LCR .357 and love it, now I want an LCRx just because I kind lof like the idea of a hammer.

I don't know why people are so hard against .40 S&W. I have been slowly moving away from 9mm in favor of the .40 S&W. You don't take a big hit in capacity and you get a little more ass behind every shot. There is nothing wrong with 9mm except it has become too popular. Finding 9mm last year was next to impossible. However I was able to find .40 everywhere. This was one of the big reasons I went to .40 S&W. Also just about every gun that shoots .40 S&W can shoot .357 Sig with a barrel change. So even if there was a run on .40 I could swap out to .357 Sig and still shoot. Finally in some guns you can get conversion kits to shoot 9mm as well. Now you have a gun capable of firing all three calibers for less then the cost of three separate pistols. For this reason I would get a Glock 23 and a 9mm conversion barrel, a few 9mm mags and a .357 Sig conversion barrel. The Sig P226 and P229 are also good choices as you can buy 9mm and .357 Sig conversions for those two pistols as well.
