First handgun purchase regrets
>Glock
>because Jow Forums told me to
>anything less gay
I bought a makarov. Best purchase I have ever made. It's my most reliable gun. Not one jam.
>surplus CZ75
Got it a few years ago from buds for like $270. Don't regret it, but I could've gotten a surplus hi power for the same price. Not sure how I feel about that.
You forgot
>regret: I bought an underpowered piece of shit commie gun
>CZ P07
>Great for the price
>Holsters are limited in comparison to other models
Bro. Makarovs are tested military firearms. It is arguably the best handgun ever made. Try running over a Glock with a tank, the polymer frame would break up, the makarov will survive
bruh
What?
Built a glock 19 before I bought my first handgun. A cz75b.
>got it because I liked the trigger and safety placement better than on the beretta 92fs
>wish I saved up a little bit more and got the SP01. Oh well.
Still love both of my handguns.
>What did you get
FNX 9
>Why did you get it
I wanted a hammer fired gun and didn't have the money for a usp compact
>What did you wish you got instead
No regrets, just wish FN weren't Jews about their mags
No one wants to see a man's foot.
Beretta 92, gigantic piece of shit. Finally got rid of it and got a Sig P226 that is beyond awesome.
>Ruger SR9

>Maybe an SR9C or SR40? I'm pretty happy with it senpai

Bought the 26 instead of 19. Feels bad.
>Try running over a Glock with a tank
I know a guy who got run over by a truck as a child in such a way that the wheels ran the entire length of his body and pressed him down into the manure in the barnyard.
>what are circumstances
Glock 19
I wish I had bought a full-size steel frame DA/SA instead.
Glock 17 gen 3 years ago, no regrets.
>Bersa
>Jams constantly
>I'll probably take it to a gunsmith and get the feed ramp polished down. I heard that helps.
>Second purchase: .357 revolver. Ultimate reliability.
>Block 26
>got it because I liked shooting 19s and figured the grip compromise would be worth easier concealment
>wish I’d gotten a 19 or even a single stack 9 like the PPS
The form factor just does not work for me- too awkward when shooting, fat enough to make carry annoying, and the thing that worries me most is that it’s awkward/difficult to draw quickly becauase there’s less to grip.
I’m experimenting with baseplates but it feels awkward and I may well get rid of this for a midsize like the 19 or PPQ and pick up a single stack with a full grip for carry.
>Glock 27
>I didn't actually purchase it. My Uncle died and no one wanted it so I got it for free.
>I was looking at buying a Makarov/Walther PPS but I can't sell the 27 bc sentimental reasons and whatever and feel guilty not at least trying to get good with what I already have.
Added little bit, doublestack sub compacts are a terrible meme and suck ass for carry.
