Which new pistol to buy?

**pennsylvaniaboy** · May 1st, 2011, 10:17 AM

Guys I have some money thats burning a hole in my pocket.....i cannot decide between 4 dif types of handguns.... I can find all these locally for under $450

Kahr CW9

5" 1911

3" 1911

Keltec pf-9

Obviously these hae very dif appeals and uses....the keltec and the kahr would be summer carry type guns which would be nice cause right now i carry a 4.5 XDM.

But the 1911 would be guns that would be customized and modified etc. More of some fun project guns that would def see carry time as well...

Any opinions..?

Be careful buying a 1911. They are very addictive, one is never enought.

GET THE 1911. Everyone needs one or two or three. Once you start, you will need more than one.

PAboy, what brand of 1911's are you looking at?

Ive looked at a pf-9 and a cw40 in the past few weeks, but now Im thinking Ill save another month or two and get a springfield EMP instead. I like the way it feels, Its a little heavy for a carry peice though.
The other thing Ive been thinking about is a Sig P239. Either way Ill have to save another month or two.

The EMP is too heavy if you don't have a proper gun belt and holster. With quality gear, it shouldn't be a problem.

I love the EMP, but it is hard to beat the Kahr for daily carry.... Thats why I carry a CW40 daily. Slim, light, more accurate than I am, great trigger, and a great price (CW 9-40-45).
