Good morningeveryone!
I am going to get a new handgun soon and i got sort of confused between 2 options. I was planning on getting a subcompact XD-9 for a while and it was pretty much a no-brainer, but last saturday i went to a gun store to look at it again and feel it in my hand and laid my eyes on Beretta M9. Really a slick gun with a cool image and according to many also very reliable. It's not really comparable items but for some reason my choice making process got stuck in between these 2. I alreadyown 2 compact pieces - Bersa Thunder 380 and a Taurus 85 (with 2" barell, 5 rounds of 3 spl.) - and generally i have a thing for compacts and subcompacts since i carry concealed most of the time but also feel like maybe its time for a full-size handgun. Another compromise i was thinking of is getting a full-size XD-9 but i don't really like the way it looks. I am 6'2" with relatively large hands and in most compacts i get only 4-finger grip and i really like that XD-9 sub comes with a second large capacity magazine which offers full grip. I don't expect you guys to solve this internal problem for me :lol:but i would certainly appreciate any feedback from those who used both guns or maybe had a similar dilemma. Any first-hand experience about egronomics, precision and reliability of both guns would be also highly appreciated!
Thanks!
