First Semi Auto

7392 Views 13 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  BigDog
I am looking to buy my first semi auto hand gun and was looking for some opinions. Im considering a Kimber or Springfield 1911, Glock, H&K, or Sig. Probably going to go with a .40 or 45 ACP caliber. IT will be strictly a in the dresser drawer gun not for carry. Looking to spend between 600 and 1000 $. IM not particularly fond of compacts or small framed guns....especially for this purpose a concealed carry gun would be a different story. Any suggestions, past experiences or other opinions would be helpful.

Thanks

Well im surprised know said anything about the H&K. Its probably narrowed down between the H&K USP in 45 ACP or a Springfield mil. spec 1911.
I have a S&W 44 mag. Great gun but been wanting a semi auto. Besides, the wife has a hard time handling the 44.

Thanks every one for their replies and advice. I took my wife in to handle the different guns I was thinking about. She quickly dashed my desires of a 1911. She has very small hands being she is only 5' tall and she couldnt release the slide. :( She liked the H&K but was still a little awkard for her. The Sig fit her perfectly, we are going to go with the Sig 2026( I may be off on the numbers) in .40 cal. The gun fit me well so Im happy with it. After all rest assured it probably wont be my last autoloader. Maybe Ill buy the Springfield 1911 mil. spec also, it goes on sale here for 450$ in couple of weeks.

Thanks Again
