I just became a commissioned security officer and I'm looking for either a revolver or a semi-automatic gun. I think I want a 9mm. I just need something that'll be reliable when I need it.

  1. Springfield Armory XD Pistol... Chambered in 9MM....

    No matter what brand you purchase realize a decent reliable pistol generaly costs $350 to $600...


  2. a good quality pistol or revolver is going to cost 300 or more for a new gun, and at least 200-250 for a used one.

    ruger, smith and wesson, glock, taurus, and colt are all good guns. there are many other well made guns out there, so if you're not familiar with fire arms, find someone who is to advise you. you might try a gun shop/firing range that can let you try out or rent a pistol to get a feel for what you want, and what you can afford.

    gun shows are an excellent place to find a bargain, if you know what to look for.

  3. I would look on the mil surplus market. Pick up a copy of Shotgun News, and there are a pretty good selection of 9mm handguns out there for around 250-300. The 9mm Makarov chan be had cheaper than that, but the 9x18 round is different than the standard 9x19 (9mm luger) round. Whatever you buy, make sure it's reliable, and practice with it.

  4. Ruger SR9 was 440 including tax for mine. Very reliable and easy shooting. It is a 9mm.

    Taurus Model 66 is about the same price give or take by me.

    My favorite is the Springfield Armory XD but they are closer to the 500-550 range.

  5. I bought a S&W Sigma for around $350.00.

    Check out the used guns at your dealer.

  6. You're gonna start in the $400 range and up to about $600 for new

    Drop about $100 for used

  7. Your going to be paying at least $300. There is a manfucturer that sells 9mm chambered semi-auto for around $150ish I don't remember the exact price. There utter junk.

    Edit: Kel-Tec. There junk and don't bother with them.
