Hey All,

Looking for some help when it comes to buying Pistols. I'm looking for a 9mm that will not only be durable but looks great and handles better. I have been looking around and I seem to like the Spring Field XDS-M 4.0 steel rail & the Jerhico 941 or as it seems to be called the Baby Egale. So I'm looking for some recommendations would be great. If it is one that you own if you could add a picture so I know what it looks like that would be great.

Thanks for the help:):)
 
Ruger SR-9 is a terrific handgun and can be found for less than $500. Smith and Wesson M&P is also a very popular choice. Both are quite durable, reliable, and easy to shoot.
 
The Jericho is called a Jericho. It is not a baby eagle.

I haven't tried an XDS, but I do own a Jericho 941 in .40 and it is a great piece of kit. Amazing trigger, easy to clean, looks great, excellent lineage.

Only beef with my Jericho is that mags are neither cheap nor easy to come by.
 
cz shadow sp01 or an S&W M&P Pro in 9mm I love mine equally . Do not cheap out. You will always regret cheaping out. Just wait an extra few paychecks and get something better.
 
There are so many great choices out there however my choice was the Beretta 92fs INOX for my first 9mm pistol. It has been outstanding, it shoots great and looks awesome! I really do like the Ruger SR9 as well and I had the opportunity to shoot one and it was impressive as well. Still, can't miss with the Beretta. Good luck and welcome to the sport!

I *love* my M&P, though it really really needed the Apex Tactical upgrades (sear block, springs, reset assist, etc). It was OK stock, but a mushy trigger and sloppy reset make it not as great as it could be -- it's miles better with the new parts. For competition shooting, you also need to file down the followers on the stock 10/10 mags, otherwise mags loaded to 10 are very hard to seat on a closed slide. M&Ps are fantastic once you tune them up a bit, but they do require a little bit of loving to get from "decent" to "fantastic".

I was an instructor at an IDPA new-shooters course 2 weekends ago, and 7 of the 10 students had M&Ps, and I ended up loaning mine to one of the other students because her Norinco was giving her trouble. Seeing 8 M&Ps on a line was awesome. :p
 
People will have all sorts of suggestions, the gun for you is the one that fits you best. I love my browning hi power but after shooting a glock 17 I'm looking to buy one.
 
I recently had the opportunity to shoot a SIG P226, the X-5 Tactical version, and was favorably impressed. I don't know when the opportunity to make use of a 2 MOA pistol might come up, but should it, that one will do it. First 200 rounds out of the box, not a hiccup.

This. OP, the pistol that fits you is the only pistol that counts. Might be a cheap Norc, or a diamond encrusted HK....if it doesn't fit your hand, its useless. It might still be fun to shoot, but can you hit with it? I have lots of double-stack pistols that are a blast to shoot, but when I shoot for score, its always a single stack pistol.
 
Very happy with my xd but I would suggest a trip to a range where you can try a variety. when I bought my spring field I was at the west ed mall and got bored with fallowing the wife and daughters from store to store so bought a day pass at wild west and said call me when it's time to eat. left with a pistol and two bricks of ammo.
