Pistol $500 and under
 

what is the best pistol i can get for $500 and under. Looking for a semi auto doesnt matter what caliber it is.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

A Glock

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

A Springfield Armory XD in 40 S&W or .45 ACP/Auto

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

springfield xd, or a glock

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

2nd owner 1911 or a High Power or clones .I picked up a Feg 2 years ago new 450 paid 275 , had a little holster wear . With fees you can get "Springfield Armory" around 500 .Just a forged steel junkie I guess .

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

+1 for xd. Also ruger P-series can be had for around 350-400 new. They are a little bulky for a cc piece, but very reliable and good home or truck gun.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

Another vote for the ruger P-series.They are bulky but I have big hands so it fits me ok,but mine has never jammed!!!!

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

XD series by Springfield.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

what about the sig mosquito? i like sig pistols. I also like the xd

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

The Mosquito is a nice little .22 auto, it's a tad bigger that the Walther P22. They do have the feel of it's bigger siblings in the 220 series of CF's and can be had in a scoped /red dot package.

You didnt mention what the pistol's intended purpose was, if it's for self defense I would'nt reccomend it, now for general plinking/fun and getting aquainted with pistol ...yes

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

well its for general shooting small game and also self defense weapon.
I want something with some power. so i was thinking 40 or 45 but also 9mm because its a little cheaper.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

S&W has a nice 9mm out,I looked at it in passing.I think it was a 908 or something like that,myself I have a CW9 and a CW40 Karr for CCW,but the Smith caught my attention as another I might buy too add to my 9m collection....

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

If it isn't for carry, spend another $100 ($600) and get yourselfTaurus' version of a1911.

It will blow your socks off! I don't know of a better deal in a pistol.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

I like my CZ75B.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

no brainer. Buy a Springfield. They have a somewhat new model, the XD compact .45
you can get this I think with a 13 rnd Mag + 1 in the tube. Hard to beat that. They are accurate and reliable. I have had several friends that were die hard glock fans begin to reconsider after shooting mine. I have the Tactical in the .40 and will be buying the compact .45 when I get home from Iraq.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

Springfield XD FOR SURE!!!!!!


andNever heard of a glock around these parts under $500.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

I've read good things about the S&W M/P and the Beretta PX4 Storm...I think both are in your price range, quality built firearms.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

Take a look at High Point Fire Arms. Inexpensive,great reviews, American made, and lifetime warranty. Google High Point and take a look.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

RUGER!!!! Strong and about as close to 100 percent reliable as a pistol can get.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

High Point is pawn shop garbage. Don't waste your money.

Springfield is a good choice. You could get an XD or you could also get one of the 1911 Mil-Spec WWII models for around $350 when I got mine. They are a great deal.

I got this one: http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?version=16

There are various versions available. Not sure what the price is these days.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

Gotta agree on all points. The 1911 milspec pistols are very well made 1911 for the price.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

The High Point's are not my cup of tea but don't sell the ugly critters short. I have shot several of them a lot and they function pretty darn well. We ran a thousand rounds of ammo through two of them, a 45 and a 9MM without cleaning and had no malfunctions. I would be afraid to bet that any brand could do this every time. They are however to ugly to take out in the day time.:D

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

I bought this from a guy that needed some money. And yes I gave him exactly what he was asking for it...$400. Came with 4 mags and 800 rounds of ammo. H&K USP 40. This is the nicest semi auto I've ever shot!

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

now THAT was a steal for a gun. I bought an HK USP Compact for aout 800 out the door, and generally the Fullsize USP are more $$$$. That would be another GREAT suggestion if you can find a used H&K. Should be able to pick it up for less than the $500 you are looking to spend, and IMHO, it is better than allthe guns listed above.
I know, somebody is saying but, but, but you said buy a springfield, and I did, for $500 that is hard to beat NEW. ut if you can find an HK in good shape in that price, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

good luck.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

If you are patient, you can find really good deals, Sig P Series (P226,P228,etc), HK USP, Glocks,CZ, Springfield & Kimber 1911scan be in the $400-$500 range

I got a 4006 last week for $325 shippedwith 4 mags last week :D

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

I've shot a few USPs in.45 and .40 and am very impressed with them. They are amazingly accurate. The only thing that keeps me away is the price. $400 for the gun + ammo is a steal[8D]

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

I just bought this S&W 908 today for 445.00....

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

PUT 100 ROUNDS THRUTHE S&W 908 THIS MORNING AND IAM VERY IMPRESSED WITH IT,NICE TRIGGER PULL AND AT 15YRDS I WAS HITTING CENTER MASS.FOR A HG UNDER 5 BILLS I DONT NOW HOW A PERSON COULD GO WRONG.....

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

A good used Glock.

RE: Pistol $500 and under
 

I agree with uncle matt, the Tauras 1911, although if you check the right gun stores they usually retail for under 500. I can get a new one from Sportman Supply in Woodward OK for 400. That is a great deal especially when you consider what all Tauras has already done to them. A lot of aftermarket customizing parts are already on this gun from the factory. I really like the ambidextrous safety as I am left handed. They also come with better sights than a lot of the high end 1911 are built with.
