Stay away from the S&W Sigma, I picked up one a few years ago instead of a Glock and have regretted it ever since. They are ok guns but you would be better off finding a better quality used gun. I found a used Glock 17 a year later for $400 and picked it up.

If you can find a used Ruger 9mm they are great guns for playing at the range. My first 9mm was a Ruger P89, fun to shoot and very reliable.

I won't be using it alot so that is why I don't want to spend to much money.If anyone here has a 9mm for sale we might be able to trade.I am looking to get rid of my black powder rifle with scope.

But thats my opinion.

I have a S&W 40, its a great pistol for the money. I would recommend it.

Ditto.

Anthony buy a Glock 27 40 cal, you might be using it in the future (Police Explore) as a back up/off duty gun. Also I’ve contacted the person I told you I was going to contact I should have a response by the time I go back to work (Monday). Later Deno

CHP turned in all of their Smith 4006 models in the last year...should be a buttload of them floating around. Decent weapon, .40 cal stainless...was our departments issue gun until we switched out to Glocks...I'd rather have the Smith's. When we turned ours in to the broker, he said they would probably sell for around 3 bills when they hit the retail outlets. For a whole lot of reasons, go for the .40.

Since you're wanting it for target practice (& for fun), why not get something of historical value?

Get a Walther P-38/P-1. They run about your target price range.

My buddy's dad had one of those that we used to shoot as kids. That's a fun pistol. My buddy still has it.

My uncle said he was going to get me the glock 27 40 cal for christmas so I am happy.

Cool good for you, I like my Glocks.

TimC...he's a new shooter, planning on LE. Most departments have gone to the .40. It tends to have a little more muzzle flip in lighter guns. If he learns with it, that won't be a problem. Without getting into a ballistics war, it makes a bigger hole...thats a good thing. I'm a firm believer in only training with the gun you will carry. As the training officer for our dept, I have fired all the different models our guys carry, but I've never drawn another from a holster in a drill. Old adage "you fight like you train" is a good one...if he gets the Glock .40, he will probably never need another duty/carry weapon in his career. I didn't want to get stuck carrying what my dept could get the best deal on, and wanted the most dependable gun that I could not only carry on duty but off-duty concealed. I went with the Sig 229 in .40. YMMV
