Steve0 is leading you to a lower risk purchasing decision. If you have already saved $600, wait until you can accumulate the extra $50. Then go to your gun store and handle "your piece of choice", then try the Glock. (Better yet, if you can borrow both and fire in the range). If they both feel the same, let go the extra $50 and go with the Glock cause its a proven performer. You can also keep an eye out on the EE for good deals on used Glocks. Good luck and happy shopping.
I don't want to sound like an a$$ but if you can't get a 650$-800$ gun, you probably can't affort shooting at all. Keep in mind that the price of an handgun is insinificant compare to ammo's. In fact you will probably "outshoot" the price of the gun in the first 1 to 3 years, even if you reload.

Just take a look through your place and start listing all the crap you don't need on Ebay. The average household has $1100 in un-needed stuff. I probably made close to 3 grand last year alone doing that same thing, and now have a whole gun locker full of rifles and 3 handguns. (all bought used but in good or excellent condition). Seriously, this is such an easy way to raise scratch, someone always wants to buy stuff, if this wasn't true, there would be no such thing as garage sales. Just throwing another suggestion your way. The more options you hear, the more likely you'll find something that works for you, and you'll get the gun of your dreams, not the gun you can barely afford. Why settle for less. Life is too short to shoot little known turkish guns.
I think you should pick one up first and see how it feels in your hand. I checked one out at Hunters Edge in Grande Prairie and I didn't like how it fit in my hand. Did not point naturally either, for me anyways.
Check out one of the Norinco Sig clones for a decent inexpensive handgun. See how they feel, fit and point first tho.

And I would consider this a very conservative statement. I outshot the over 1,000$ cost of my Para within the first year of owning it. And that was only with low cost reloads, and not counting the cost of the reloading equipment, which was over 500$ for the press only.
I would say they are two separate issues. If this is your first handgun and if you can afford a gun that you want then get it. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll be able to shoot as much as you want but that shouldn't discourage you from buying a handgun to have some fun and get involved.
This hobby/sport/lifestyle stands to benefit from an increased number of participants. The larger the percentage of the population that participates, the better off we'll be in the long run.
I don't want to discourage anyone to get in the sport. I was in the same situation when i bought my first handgun. But it is even most important when buying the first to make a good selection, you don't want to be disapointed. That is why i strongly sugest to get a gun of one of the major band like GLOCK, S&W, CZ, or Ruger to name a few. You can find a really good handgun for the same price of the Zigana or even cheaper if you shop carefully.

I am assuming that thishandgun is relatively new to the Canadian market. You have to ask yourelf, how scarce are the mags, parts, holsters ect in this country. You might want to reconsider your choice, and go with a brand that is more familiar to the Canadian Market.
Good Luck, and happy shooting

I like the gun, we have some at work . Ithink if you like it buy it , beretta 92 mags can be mod'ed to fit (you have to cut a new slot for the mag catch, the rest is the same). It is also possible to make a nice serviceable leather holster yourself ,not very expensive and not very hard. This is just my 2cents (p.s. I don't like glocks)

If you want to get get one for a range blaster, go for it. I personally like the look, and have been thinking of getting one. However, if you want to compete in IPSC with it, you're out of luck. No Tisa or Zigana listed on the approved Production list.
