RE: Best bang for the buck ???
i have a 40
USP compact
got a great deal on it outside the post, Fort Polk
the thing with 40 is it's kind of an odd ball round if ya ask me
if i had to do it all over again i would have got the 9mm
just my 2 cents though
as far as model i have fired quite a few manuf. models and to tell you the truth i have yet to shoot a really bad automatic
i know what i am capable of doing with one at 15 yrds and to me there is really no big difference between say a ruger or S&W or H&K
every pistol like a specific ammo better then the rest so find out what that is and your golden
only difference i see usually between most brands is the price to be honest
