So this is my first thread, so be kind

All of this talk of guns has made me want to purchase a few more. Somehow I managed to wind up with no 9mm and no .45 ACP in my current collection and I am wanting to remedy that situation.

After days of research and changing my mind and more research and changing my mind again, I think I've decided what I want to pick up and wanted to see if anyone here could give a thumbs up or thumbs down to my choices due to personal experience or suggest something better in the same price range.

I'd like to get something quality of course, and the highest capacity I can without excessive weight, especially in the one I will most likely carry. I'd like to be able to carry one of them because I don't really love carrying any of my current handguns for various reasons. And I think I'd rather carry the .45, just because it's a .45 I'm trying to stay in the 1000-1300 for both price range.

I was thinking for the .45 ACP, Springfield XD Compact, Stainless/OD combo. And I think I want to use this one as my concealed carry piece.



For the 9mm I kept going back and forth between tons of options, but I decided on the CZ P 07 because I currently have an old CZ 82 that I love and I read a lot of good things about the accuracy of the gun.



I welcome any input!

Personally have two XD pistols, 9mm and 45mm.

Never had a single problem with either, have probably put atleast 1000 rounds through each, min.

interesting note on the XD 9mm, if your in a clip restrictive state, like ca... I hear the 40mm 10 round clip fits in it...

supposedly adds more ammo count to it... supposedly...

How about be an adult and do something useful with your money??

I am loving the .45 ACP myself. I definitely wouldn't mind adding that one to mine. Did you win the lottery or are you just stocking up? Only teasing. Both are nice. But I do love the .45 more.

Just got rid of a SW Sigma .40

I didn't like the feel of it or the way it shot at all.

I recently purchased a Sig Sauer chambered in .45 caliber and I love it.
Got a pretty good deal at a local dealer as well. I found that the .45 was a bit heavier and can sometimes be a hindrance as a daily carry weapon but I am getting used it and barely know it's there anymore.

Thank you for the financial advice. There could be a time and situation when these could prove quite useful, so I believe this to be a responsible purchase.

I have an XD .45 compact that will be my carry weapon. With the extended mag I can fit thirteen in her and she fires like a champ. The overall functionallity is amazing. I can accuratley double tap with it no problem. I also have never had a single malfunction and have put a few thousand rounds through it so far. Although I shoot 235 grain full metal jackets. Never fired hollow points so I can't comment on any issues with those but I have never heard of problem from anyone who has one. I even know a guy who shoots comp with one. My next purchase which will be soon is a Springfield Mil-Spec .45 1911. I just love .45s. Probably will never buy anything smaller.

Also they do come with thumbs safetys as an option. I chose not to have a thumb safety as I have been handling firearms since I was big enough to hold them. I think the heel and trigger safteys work just fine as long as you are a responsible user.

Take your anti gun BS elsewhere.

How about you be an adult and let people spend the money they earned the way they wish to.

Thought id throw this in.

I also have a S&W 500...

Its ridiculous, I mean just an amazingly powerful gun.

its about the length from the tip of my index finger almost to my elbow...

If your out of ammo you could always use it as a club.

The man my brother bought his car from had that as his CCW, I was amazed someone would use that beast as a CCW...
