Guns.... Which would you pick?

[Billyb0b81]

I have a guy that wants to trade my wii for one of his guns. Here is the list he sent me. What would yall pick?

I am thinking I would like to have the xd-357, but i am also considering the glock 23.


Taurus .357 Revolver 4" bbl - Like New
XD-40 Service 4" bbl
XD-357 Service 4" bbl
XD-LE .45gap Service 4" bbl
Glock 23 .40s&w
Glock 39 .45gap

KelTec P3AT in .380

Browning Hi Power .40S&W (would have to give him wii +$100)

[whitetrash]

i would take the xd-40

[propellerhead]

XD-40 Service 4" bbl
This one.

[Billyb0b81]

I figured someone would have chimed in saying Glock by now.

I was considering the xd-40, but would really like a .357. I really like the Sig p229 .357 but that is a little more pricey.

The .357sig ammo expensive compared to the 9mm or .40cal. $8-10 more per box.
Just something to think about.

[ELVIS]

xd40 fan here also.

god bless.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

I, personally, don't see any need for a .357 Sig. Want a 9mm? Get a 9mm. Want a .40? Get a 10mm. :D

I'd take either the Glock 23 or the P3AT because I've already got a full-size .40 S&W and a .357 Magnum revolver and I don't particularly care for .45 GAP.

[Jason8750]

You are a fool if you dont take the high power. A high power for 350.00 is a steal. All the others are good pistols, but the high power is a great one.

I already have a compact .40, a taurus pt140. I don't have a full size. He just e-mailed me and also has a Keltec pf9 parkerized brand new in the box.

I have a Browning Hi-power 9mm and love it.

[propellerhead]

If you're thinking about the Keltec PF-9, get the serial number then check it on the KTOG forum. They list the different generations so you can make sure you're not getting an old one before the fixes.

Also read up on "unsupported chamber" before choosing the Glock in .40SW.

good info... Thanks!

[F8LSVT]

Id take the XD 40 witha quickness.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Also read up on "unsupported chamber" before choosing the Glock in .40SW.If he plans on reloading, he might want to get an aftermarket barrel with a tighter chamber. Otherwise, the factory barrel will do.

[PooterWS6]

Why not get an XD 9mm, since you already have the .40?

He doesnt have an xd-9 to trade, and I have two 9mm already. A browning hi-power and a baretta.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Why not get an XD 9mm, since you already have the .40?Because he's not a pussy, pussy.

[PooterWS6]

Because he's not a pussy, pussy.
If there was a 10mm that came with a dildo on one end, youd be the first one sucking to high heaven! :D

[GrayStangGT]

Xd 40

[5111]

Glock 39 .45gap

or

Browning Hi Power .40S&W

Get the P229 in .357 Sig
Worth every dime!!!

XD-LE in .45!!!!!!! I love the .45acp, He seems to be a little light in the head to be under pricing all of those guns, I'd have to cross check the serial numbers before I did anything. I'd hate to have possession of a stolen gun if I was carrying, legally or not.

its a .45 gap ..... ick

[To Many Mustangs]

Hey man, how about an actual answer.

I have both and they are both great. XDs are better as a practical weapon because, while they are a little bulkier, they have safteys as well as indicators for a loaded chamber and a cocked pin that you can feel in the dark. The Glock is slicker, quicker and lighter but doesn't have a genuine safty. Both are poly & steel modern guns and both are easy to take down and maintain.

Go for the XD. You never can tell when you will end up actually needing to depend on it in less than ideal circumstances.

A guy who actually has the guns he's taliking about has now offered an opinion
:-)

[Chrm10SPkZ28]

Xd 40

[Wild Stallion]

My bad, I keep forgetting that people think that they can improve on perfection in the 45 caliber....


I know a couple of guys in the area that were PMIs, I was a handgun PMI as a collateral billet when I was stationed with 1/8. I may actually know the guy....

[Rlhay2]

I have an XD 40 and a Glock 23.

You can't go wrong with either. But the glock is easier to conceal due to its slightly smaller frame.

My bad, I keep forgetting that people think that they can improve on perfection in the 45 caliber.... .454 Casull, .460 Smith & Wesson, what?

[David]

I'd keep the Wii until he came up with something worth a fuck to trade.

[Pokulski-Blatz]

If it were me I would go for that Glock 23 or that taurus .357 mag

[sanddragger28]

I would get the Glock 23.I love the 357 sig round its much stronger than a .40 but its expensive to feed. Probably the Glock 23 excellent pistol make sure its a gen 3 though.

Damn, do you hate all the ones I listed? I don't think he is willing to trade any machine guns. :p

If it was made after Vietnam, he hates it;)

[Billyb0b81]

Well I just got back from meeting with the guy. Ended up getting the XD-40. It looks brand new! It came with the gear and has Heinie night sights too. Now I just gotta get to the range and see how I like it! :D
