Decisions, decisions....what will be my next gun?

[Junfan68]

I just recently received my CH L plastic. I am thinking I need one more pistol to round out my portfolio.

I currently have:

Beretta 92FS 9mm
Remington 1911 RS1 .45
Ruger SP101 .357


Right now my CCW would be the Ruger. I am thinking about adding one of these:

Sig 938
M&P Shield
H&K 305k
Springfield XDs .45

Any comments or suggestions?

More plastic to go with your new plastic.

The Shield and XD's are both of interest to me.

Happy shopping.

I have been researching the XDs .45 and am pretty sure I will be placing my order soon. So there is my vote for your choices.

For CC I would go with a Glock 19 or 26, I've carried the SA XD45 compact before and its a great gun too.

I changed not because I dislike .45 or SA XD. I just like Glock, today's 9mm JHP's offer comparable ballistics and more capacity. Not to mention Glock's parts interchangeability and magazine compatibility. Also, parts and magazine cost are cheaper, more available, and have more aftermarket accessories than any other mfg.

In my opinion, the Glock 26 is a great carry gun.

I second the Glock 26. On my conceal carry shooting test I scored 238/250 with it. Very reliable, never jammed, easy to clean. I trust my life with it.

I had decided to buy a single stack 9mm in either a Shield or LC9s. I bought the Shield yesterday and put about 100 rounds thru it. Boy I'm glad I picked the Shield. Good balance, great trigger, and accurate right out of the box. Deciding factors for me was the Shield came with 2 mags (a 7 and an 8), the LC9s only had 1. Also the LC9s has a mag disconnect and the Shield does not. The Shield, more importantly, just fit my hands better.

i don't have experience with any of your choices but many local ranges have guns you can try, maybe some of your choices are available. If not, do your research and avoid the ones that say it's a great gun if...you replace this or that part to make it reliable or accurate. Look for something that works reliably out of the box with no mods. Then practice, practice, practice.

I have an XDS-45, and it's a nifty little gun. Also, be willing to take a look at either the Kahr CM9 or PM9. They're essentially the same gun, and a little smaller than the XDS. I have one of those too.
