RPAL issued today

[sailor723]

My application status shows as "issued" as of today (I have a lic # and everything! )

Now the question of which 9mm and which .22 semi to buy becomes a little more pressing..............

 

[Corry]

For the 9mm look at a Ruger SR9, great prices as low as $479, l love mine, shoots great

I have been looking at getting my RPAL there are a few Rugers two Sigs and on Glock I have been looking at... The Glock fits my hands well and shoots ok... A 1911 would be on my list as well.

CZ Shadow SP-01 (9MM) Have never heard anyone say the hand fit was not excellent.. and it's very easy to shoot well.. Browning Buckmark URX (22) with fiber sights very hard to beat for quality ergo and accuracy.

Another mention to look at CZ.

Hello!

 

[Northern_guy111]

Mine was finally issued to after waiting 10 months. But I did buy a glock 17 with 3 mags for 600 and m&p 40 with 4 mags for 500

 

[sailor723]

Seriously thinking about some variation of a CZ (I see 75b Omega's on for 599 right now) or maybe a Jericho 941 (also under 600) for the 9...Girsan is also an outside contender...as is a Beretta PX4 Storm (although, in the $750+ range the Beretta seens a little pricey).

As for the .22 it's a little more wide open....one of the Browning Buckmarks or Browning 1911-22, Some variation of a Rugar....maybe a S&W 22A...maybe even a revolver?

You're making this more complicated than it needs to be.

Quick 'n easy answer: All of 'em.

You won't go wrong looking at the GSG 1911 (cheap .22 which will help you learn a lot about fundamentals), and any of the CZ 75 family. I ended up buying a CZ 75 SP-01 (not a Shadow) due to lack of availability of the Shadow's in my area at the time. Do I regret it at all? Not in the slightest!

In any case, welcome to the club! Whatever you do buy, shoot the hell out of it.

Go look and see what suits you best. I personally like sig and glock but everyone likes there own thing.

 

[deemoney]

CZ75 or a variant and a GSG1911-22

 

[netguy1999]

I really enjoy my CZ75 SP01. The trigger is buttery smooth.

 

[sailor723]

What are the opinions on the Browning 1911-A1 in .22? Worth the $599 average asking price?

 

[scrufff0]

Buy a sig 226 in 22LR,,then buy a conversion to 9mm and you'll have a good shooter

 

[sailor723]

Bought a year old used Buck Mark with a 5.5 bull barrel in SS today with 2 mags and a synthetic stock Rugar 10-22 Laser. Still thinking about the 9mm but leaning towards the CZ Sp-01 Shadow.

Handled the Girsan's but the grip seemed wrong (a little short). Browning 1911-22 is TINY!...... just disappeared in my hand. They had a GSG target and it was nice but decided to go with the Browning.

My All time Favorite, and never sell 9mm is my Browning Hi Power .... And I have shot and owned a lot of 9mm's....
But you could buy 2 SR9's for the price I pay'd.

I have two and love them, but the aforementioned CZ75/SP01 Shadow is the Browning perfected IMHO...

Enjoy whatever you buy!
