    Default Looking for options in an all metal pistol.

    I'm considering purchasing an all metal pistol for home defense. My current list of requirements are:

    All metal frame.
    Full size.
    4"+ barrel.
    DA/SA, DAO, or Striker action.
    Chambered in .40 S&W.
    Double stack magazine, min 12 rounds.
    Night sights or can readily accept 3rd party night sights.
    Picatinny Rail.
    Decocker (DA/SA only)
    NO manual safety.
    NO magazine disconnect.
    NO mechanical LCI (cutout in frame/barrel is ok)
    NO INTERNAL LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The two firearms I have identified so far that seem to meet these requirements are:

    CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical
    Sig Sauer P226

    Any others out there I should consider?

    Just to get this out of the way I'm not buying a 1911 for home defense, I do not like SAO pistols, I do not like manual safety's, I do not like .45 for defense, and I want more than 7/8 rounds.

    Tough to beat the choices of CZ or Sig that you made. If you want to buy a like-new S&W 4006 with a ton of ammo, I have a deal for you. Have five mags to carry 11+1 for it too.

    I'm not apposed to a out of production firearm. Is that a safety on the 4006 or just a decocker?

    Also I doubt that any of these pistols has a rail.

    Quite a bit of new production is being made for sale in communist states, and the rest of us that live in the American Sector have to deal with bull shit like internal locks, mag safeties, LCIs, etc.

    I think you pretty much nailed it with the Sig or CZ.
































    Oh wait, this is PAFOA::::::::

    Manual calls it both.

    I love it too..but don't get to shoot it much. I'd only part with it for the right price but I'm open to offers. Then I'd buy an AR.

    If it was the right time of the year for me "extra cash" wise I'd be making you an offer. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I'm working now on clearing debt largely built up by buying gun stuff over the past couple of years LOL

    Seeing as this is not a carry gun id rather have the larger P226.

    Have you looked at the colt 1911 in 45acp? 7 rounds of pure man stopping power. Dont get the railed one though it's ugly.






























    its poofa, its obligatory.



    Beretta 94 fits your criteria.
