Talking Cheaper 9mm?

[size="3"][size="3"]

My father b-day is coming up and i'm a college student so I am lacking alot of cash!

I am looking around $300 to $315 price range. I would love to get him a Glock or Beretta or a nice Swith and Wesson but I just can't.

I have looked at Taurus Millenium Pro, Kel-Tec P11, Skyy or "Sccy" Cpx-1.
Please someone give me some more input.

I've talked to dealers and read the websites. I would like to hear some personal experiences if anyone would be willing to share?

Thank you if anyone can help!

He has a S&W sigma .40 cal but he really doesn't carry it. He also stated he wants a 9mm that was sub compact so I figured I would help him out

Maybe help him out would be the key words...

I'm sure you know the name of the local gunshop that your dad likes or deals with. Go in and buy him a $300 gift card TOWARDS the gun he wants.

Dad gets to pick out the gun he wants for a very cheap price, and you look like Superman WITHOUT ever having to hear him bitch about the cheap gun he got that jams up or broke.

206 posts on the Xd sub compact in one thread pretty much sums up the fact that a few of you are fans.

As a dad, I would appreciate this the most.

You get to be the world’s best son and he gets to pick out exactly what he wants.

stay away from the keltec... my dads slide and barrel o his 9mm went down range on him after about 30 shots. they fixed it, but i dont see how that can happen to begin with.

look for a "used" pistol and you should be able to find a smaller 9mm for daily duty. i LOVE my beretta M9, but it is heavy to lug around every day for some people. i also love my Beretta tomcat, but it is a .32 and doesnt fit what you are looking for in caliber or price range.

freedom armory has a few 9mm's for a good price in the used section most of the time.
