    Default Sub $400 Present to Myself

    As the title suggests, I am looking for a new pistol in the $400 range. Preferably below to leave more money for ammo/holster/etc. But I was looking for some opinions, hopefully at least one of you has one that you would like to share.

    Anyway, I'm looking for something in the size range of a Glock 19, that isn't a Glock (they don't fit me). I already have a CZ RAMI, so I'm covered in the subcompact category.

    Since I already had a CZ (and love it), I naturally started looking at the CZ P-07, which comes in just over the $400 mark...but I can swing the price range a little if need be. In the same size/price range seems to be the SR9, and you get an extra round. Does anybody have any personal experience with both of those? (Or, name your favorite.)

    Thanks!

    I was able to buy a used CZ 75B for $350 that I am extremely impressed with. I haven't been able to find a second one, so if anyone has one they'd like to sell I need a back-up.

    This is a good option. Especially since you already have a pistol. If you really want a good glock-ish pistol that isn't a glock for under $400 the first thing that pops into my mind is

    Steyr....more grip angle than the Glock......thinner grip......fully supported chamber......trapezoid sights.......angled rails.......Tennifer finish (same as Glock)

    I could go on....

    I will definitely look into that. I can honestly say I've never seen one in person. that being said, I've never really looked.

    And about the G19 comment, I was more thinking size, weight, and capacity (and hopefully reliability).

    Great little gun for the $

    They are usually found for around $300
    You can never have enough horsepower or ammunition.
