.50 dessert eagle or .45 glock

This is a big drop from looking at an expensive gun shooting crazy expensive ammo down to 9mm all of a sudden.

So let's start at the very beginning. What will you do with the gun? Purely poking holes in paper close in, exploding water filled pop or milk bottles at medium to long distances or do you want to get into some of the various speed shooting events in your area?
 
If your looking at a 9mm, sig sauer P226 9mm and don't look back! Its a beautiful gun, can have your plastic grips like the glock would but the beauty of metal at the same time and it will be just as reliable as any glock.

:D
 
Thats like a practical man pondering a Honda sedan or a bad-azz Harley. A 45 is acceptable as a first handgun, whereas a DE 50AE is "inappropriate" and impractical. It'll spit a casing at your head too - no matter how experienced you are.......sometimes you get caught off-guard. Its really loud and you feel the compression wave as well.

LOL...maybe glock wish to be reliable and accurate like a Swiss SIG....:nest:
 
Big Price difference between the Glock and the Sig as well. Considering the OP seems to be reeling from the price of the D Eagle might not be the right choice. I vote for the G17 it seems to be the best choice for a newb and 9mm is cheap and not hard on the pocket book. I am starting to like sigs myself but for the money the G17 is the best deal on a quality handgun nowadays in my opinion. I like the m&P series but they are not Glocks. Some like them for that reason but not me!

the glock 17 and 21 are the same price
 
ya know, the more i think about it the less i like the Glock. or any other firearm with a tilting barrel for that matter. rifles and machine guns don't need tilting barrels, so why should a pistol use one? all it does it make the barrel alignment less precise and less repeatable shot-to-shot than a short-barrel already is. and since the DE is pretty well a short rifle, i'd say get that!

at least that's my musing for this morning. or maybe i'm looking for reasons to like the DE and Beretta more than other handguns. :p

1 DE in .50AE so you can REALLY have a DE worth flaunting even though you can't afford to shoot it
1 DE in .357 so you can actually afford to shoot it
1 92fs to shoot when the DE ammo makes you broke
1 Ruger Mk.III 22LR for when the 92fs ammo makes you broke
 
so i shot a glock 17
shot the new gen 4 glock 22
and a 1911 .40 cal
and a .50 cal eagle
and ive decided to go with the .45 cal glock
thank to all who weighed in
