soofley Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 ok i'm in the market for a new pistol. I will be pairing it with my ma-ten sass build. what i'm looking for:semi-auto;hi-cap(minimum of 13rnds);either .40s&w or .45;SA or SA/DAright now i'm eyeing on Para P14-45. can you guys suggest me other guns for consideration? This will not be a daily CC weapon, it's just going to my range/case gun to go along with my .308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 EAA Witness in 10 mm , 15 round mag . Fun gun to shoot. <thumbsup>Had to put a 22 lb spring in it to tame the beast ! [because they dont make a 23 lb spring] <laughs> Will make you feel like Sonny Crockett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbesgunner Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Kinda makes me want to blow the dust off my twentysomething Delta Gold Cup...have scars on the web of my hand from hammerbite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soofley Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 i think i might go with FNP45... But then again i dont really want to add another caliber so i might go for FNP40 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I want either a Springfield Champion Operator or a Kimber TLE/RL Pro (stainless). If I go .40 then I want the STI 4.0 Tactical. How do you deny 17 round mags!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soofley Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 i have a chance to buy a barely used FNP40 USG(DA/SA with safety and decocker) for $500 no tax with case manual three 14rnd mags ... is it worth it? I can get the FNX40 brand new for around $650. From what i read, FNX40 is just a renamed version of FNP40 USG with minor cosmetic change.

Tripledeuce Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 My carry gun is a Kimber ultra carryII, 45 ACP. my "go to" is a series 70, Colt 1911 that I'v had over 40 years. I just read a WEB Griffin novel that had two characters dissucisiong the difference between the 9mm and the 45. One charector to the other, " Do you know what the 9mm is? Other," What> Its the 45 set to stun," No disrespect ment, just thought it was funny Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Helotes Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 What dollar amount you looking to spend?I an happy with my HK USP 45, Sig 226 40 and Springfield XD 40. 3 good gns at 3 different price points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoGringo Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 If you're not trying for concealed carry and wanna keep to .40 or .45, I LOVE my Springfield Armory XDm Competition. That thing is sweet, accurate and fast and has great capacity. I also had the original XDm before the Competition and it didn't balance as well as the Competition does.

Five_Seven Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I agree with Mikedaddy on the 10mm. There's no comparison as far as muzzle velocity or energy. There still aren't a whole lot of handguns to choose from, but there are several very nice ones by Colt, Glock, Fusion Arms, Dan Wesson, EAA (some have cracked slides due not beng able to handle the hot 10mm rounds, but some are fine), Springfield (Omega and Linkless, but no longer made), S&W, and a couple others. I have 3 and love them all, but I'd have to say my favorite pistol is my FNH Five-Seven 5.7x28mm. You could even go with a Glock 20 and then you can always convert it to .45, .40, .357Sig, 9x25 Dillon, and more!! Most conversions just take a barrel change that cost $115 from lone Wolf. The only downfall is the price of ammo, but bulk isn't too bad. But, between a .40 and .45 I'd get the .40 so I could convert to a .357Sig if I wanted. FNP .45 is a really nice pistol though, and a lot of firepower, especially in a 45. Ray Tanner on Gunbroker had the 2 tone FNX-40 new in box for $465. Good luck.J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Soofley -- Sounds like a great deal. I have the FNP-9 and FNP-45, excellent guns. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soofley Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 meh i went ahead and bought the FNP40 as my second CCW. I think this'll be my last 40cal purchase. Still haven't shot it yet yahahhahaa. Next handgun purchase will be a nice flashy range gun. Most likely a Kimber or Springfield 1911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 excellent choice!!! Curiously why would it be your last 40?I believe in standardizing calibers to keep my ammo needs simple. That why most of handguns are 9mm, 40S&W and .45 acp. I dont count the .380's, .38/.357's,32 mag, 44mag <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
