uryu ishida Fresnel OberFeldwebel Fresnel Don't get an Eagle for CCW if you want to reload and live. My friend said something about a free-floating magazine or something like that. Anyway, it means if you put the magazine in wrong it becomes a jam-o-matic. I hear S&W makes some wonderful small pistols. Heard good things about the 3913. Oh so they make sucky 9mms? Well that's good to know. Ah yes, but I wasn't aware that the Bersa made a 9mm. I'm assuming. The Baby Eagle looks like a scaled-down DEagle, and the DEagle had that problem. The Baby Eagle I've used didn't have that problem, I just (personally) didn't like the ergonomics. I used the .45ACP version. After a bit of research, it looks like the Baby Eagle is ACTUALLY more based off of the CZ-75 line than the Desert Eagle. I haven't seen a thing about a free-floated magazine. |

Fresnel Freak_090 Ok, We are getting my dad a pistol but the price range has increased to $500 and he would like a gun in .357sig. I am recommending the XD357, but I'm not sure about the recoil on .357sigs seeing as they have more ft/lbs than a .45. We are going to a gun show on the 3rd and 4th to see what we can find. If we do get a 357sig I will be sure to do some penetration tests. I know Glock makes .357SIG pistols, but once you leave the 9mms you risk buying a grenade. At least, unless you plan on never using reloads. Most people really never do get around to reloading in my experience.
From what I've seen Glocks are go for about $50-100 more than XDs and don't even come with a holster or anything. |

Fresnel Freak_090 Fresnel Gunbroker has no XDs in .357 and the MSRP on Springfield's site is $0. I don't think they sell them yet. Gunbroker has a few Glock 32s for just under $500. $450 for a Compact XD.357 Same site sells a G32 for a bit over $500. Seems your choice is made.
So, other than Glock and XDs are their any other good pistols out there in my price range? |

EDIT: Apparently, the SIG P226 in .357 is the standard issue of a handful of PDs (including Bastrop County Sheriff's department in Texas, and the Texas DPS), and the Secret Service. Maybe you can find a police trade-in in your area. |

Although I'd think you'd want to look and see if SIG has any pistols, 'cos it's their round.

Gander had Police trade ins near me but their only Sig 226s were in .40 Short and Wimpy.
Oh snap. |

So, XD.40 is old, XDm is new.
Hey, is that a grip safety like the ones that they have on the 1911s on that XDm? |
