Ok, it's time again. I've got that itch. It's time I get myself another handgun to add to my collection. In case you haven't been keeping up with Vega$ NSX current affairs, I already have:
Glock 21 (Full Size .45 Auto)
Glock 26 (SubCompact 9mm)
Kahr CM9 (Micro 9mm)
So here's my situation. As you can see, I have full size and micro CCW covered. No need for any Desert Eagles or Derringers. I want something mid-sized, somewhere between hand cannon and pinky pistol. Due to my Glock preference, I'm leaning towards a Glock 30 but I want to stay open minded and see what else is out there. The H&K UPS Compact is catching my eye. So here are my parameters:
- NO revolvers (SemiAuto Only)
- Cost is of no concern
- I am open to different calibers but I already have a mountain of .45 auto and 9mm ammo, so I have a slight preference for those calibers.
- No full size or CCW frame sizes. I'm looking for an all-around superstar. The jack of all trades if you will
- NO 1911's. Although I have much love for all 1911's, now is not the time. However, matching plated 1911's is written in my future.
- No preference in striker fire pins or double action hammers, but NO single action pistols
- 10 round magazine max :frown: Stupid California laws
- Must have rail for lazer/light mount
Ok, so have at it. Since we have a pretty experienced shooter group here, I want all the feedback I can get. I've already committed to buying by next weekend so cowboy up and start shooting me suggestions (pun most definitely intended)! Once I pull the trigger on something (again) I'll post up what I ended up with here! :smile: TIA!
