So im looking into my first handgun..(if you couldn't tell by the Thread Title..:lol: )
Now ive seen plenty of posts about "What should I Buy!?" And im not going to make one of them because all ive ever really read is "what fits you..." ect ect.
So ive pretty much narrowed it down (If i can even say narrowed..)
To 1.) Springfield XD 2.) 1911 frame
I leaning to a .45 Caliber. So both of these weapons fit that. And ive found both at a local gun shop of mine.
First- The XD
Springfield XD 45ACP New, 4inch Barrel, two 13 round mags, Also comes with XD gear. Hard Case, holster, mag pouch and mag loader.
Price: $519.99
Second-The 1911
PARA USA G.I. 45acp. Used Comes in original hard case with manual, lock, and two mags.
Price: $495
Both weapons are well in my price range. I do intend on buying a good holster ( I hear the XD's supplied holster isn't good for OC) for them once I purchase it, and Ive factored that some into the total price of the weapon (Plus ammo..)
SO! What do ya guys think? Ive held both a 1911 frame weapon and a XD 45 and they seem to fit nicely in the hand. Ive got some time till Taxes come in and im wishing with all my might its enough for my pistol. I just gotta choose!
FYI heres a picture of both, just for fun!
