Hey Guys Hello,

My Name In Andy And I Want To Buy A 9mm Gun. I Do Firearm Training For Almost Two Years Now And I Want To Buy The Best One!!! I Can't Choose Between The Steyr M-A1 And The Beretta 90-Two...Which One Do You Think Is Best? I Want A Gun That Looks Good But Also Fits Great On My Hands...Is There Any Other That You Would Suggest? I Also Love Those Gold "Collection" Type Handguns...

Thank You In Advance Of A Proper And Fast Reply. My Mail Is NappySnake@gmail.com

Best Regards Smiling

I have a sig 226 in 9mm and it is a fine handgun, but consider the Sig 229 in 40SW or 357sig - you can change the barrels out for around $149.00 and shoot either caliber. You can also buy a conversion barrel from EFK firedragon and shoot 9mm through it as well. just my thoughts.

228 & 229 HAVE THE SAME FRAME . FOR SOME REASON OR FOR NO REASON THE SHORTER SHOOTS BETTER THAN THE LONGER 226 . STILL P220 45ACP IS JUST RIGHT! I TO HAVE 226 , IT WILL BE TRADED SOME DAY ! EATHER WAY 9MM GOOD FOR TARGET & GIRLS , MY WIFE LIKES THEM ,BUT SHE KICKS ASS WITH MY 45, ( FIGURES )

NappySnake, the choices that you have named in your request are pretty good weapons as long as they fit you personally. I have not shot any of them but their reputation seems solid. The recommendations of the sig 226,229 is also a very nice weapon. My wife shoots and carries a Smith & Wesson MP compact 40 cal, which is a very nice shooting gun for her and I also enjoy it. I personally carry a Colt Commander Light 45 ACP, but, I also carry a very light Kahr CW9 9mm in a ankle holster. I have shot thousands of round through this Kahr and it has yet to malfuntion. It is accurate and dependable. Plus it is very small and light to carry. Hope that helps just a little.

Hmmm, Thank You Guys For Your Help But I Can't Buy Stronger Guns Than A 9mm ( I See That Many Of You Advise To Me To Buy A .40 --> I Can't Sad ) I Don't Know Why That's What My Trainer Told Me...Maybe Because It's My 1st Gun Or Because I Am 17 Years Old...Anyway One More Question Smiling The SIG SAUR Seems To Be Very Popular But It's Not That Much Of A Pretty One Sticking out tongue The Kahr One Looks Great...What About A .38 Magnum From Smith And Wesson? One That's I Can Have For Self-Defense More But Also For Fun

ANY WAY, WHAT OTHER BRANDS OF FIRE ARMS DO THEY HAVE IN GREECE ? 9MM IS MORE POPULER IN EUROPE , IT IS EASY TO FIND, SO WE ARE LED TO BELEAVE OVER HERE. PEOPLE ARE STILL MOST LIKLEY TO BELEAVE WHAT THEY TELL US HERE AS WITH MOST OTHER PLACES. ITS HARD TO SEE THE REAL PICTURE UNLESS YOU LIVE IT.

FIRST!!

How big is your hand?
What will this gun be used primarily for?
How will I store it in my house?

There are 3 types of frames available for a handgun,

1.small/compact great conceal guns or people with small hands.
2.medium sub/compact
3. full size like the beretta92f etc.

Check all 3 sizes of each gun if the manuf. makes them..

and always LOCK UP your guns..

I recently found a Wilson Combat ADP 9mm. It felt like an extension of my hand and was reasonably priced under $600.00USD. I recommend you check one out before you make any decisions.

Try PX4 STORM 9mm type F three 17round mags for the best 9mm.
This is only from $499 to $529. You may can check with silverbulletfirearms.com
I am sure you will love it.
