I'm looking for a new pistolie in .40SW. I have a Berretta model 96 chambered in .40 that I love, however as near as I can determine Berretta doesn't make it anymore, so if I shoot it up I could have a real hard time finding parts. So I've been shopping around for something I can shoot the piss out of an not care If I need to replace anything. I've been down to the local gunshop and finger fucked a few. I have decided that I will most likly chose a SW-MP.40 or a Sig226, but I'm open to other suggestions. I'm looking for resons why I should or shouldn't get the S&W-MP40 or Sig226. Thanks for your advice.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
I would go with the HK USP. I love mine, but I do have a barely used Sig 226 SCT if thats what you are looking for.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
Sig, S&W, Glock, HK, FN, Springfield are all good. Handle/shoot a few and see what you like best.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
If you plan to shoot the shit out of why not get a 9mm??
My vote goes for the ultra reliable "plastic piece of shit"
Glock 22 if you gotta have the 40.
I've got a 92 that has lord knows how many rounds through it and it still runs good , I've only replaced the recoil spring I can't see you killing the 96

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
I bought the 96 when it first came out over ten years ago just before the Clinton ban, at the time I was looking at the Browning High power but elected to go with the Beretta. I estimate I have over 10,000rds through it and never had a single stoppage, not even a stovepipe. As far as Glocks go I have a Kahr P9 for my carrygun, after owning a Kahr I won't even look at a Glock! That is to say the Kahr is so sweet! they just do the ploymer thing so much better. I'm leaning toward the Sig, all metal, range gun. An associate of mine is an air marshall, he has fired a Gazzillion rounds through his Sig.357 and never had a problem.

JJones75-It's not that I think I will kill the 96, I intend to own it forever. I'm looking for something I can treat like a bitch, and not give a shit about, and if it breaks getting it fixed will be no problem.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
That was why I asked, the newer XDm, "m" being for "match" barrel etc, has a different grip and feel to it than the standard model. The Xdm's shoot REAL well and the 40 holds 16+1 rounds. Might want to at least hunt someone down in your area and shoot one, I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

There are two entirely different pistols which will have totally different "feel." I'd definitely suggest you check them out.
But at the end of the day, my pick would be the M&P. It has a better trigger and better ergonomics than the Glock.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
Without trying to sound like a dickhead, price is not an issue. When it comes to firearms you will soon forget the price, but never forget the quality, especially when you concider that someday my guns will belong to my sons and then thier sons. Its worth mentioning that I don't own any $10,000 Beretta over-under shotguns or anything of that sort.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
The 226Elite looks slick, I handled an Equinox at the local shop, but I have to say that I liked the polymer grips on the regular 226 over the wood grip on the Equinox. The wood grip is noticably fatter. Has anyone delt with Sig's custom shop? I wonder if they will build me what I want. I'd like to see a 226USPSA in .40 but it looks like they only make it in 9mm. Now if I could only find someone who will let me take thiers for a test drive.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
I'm a big Glock fan so I say 35/22/23. Will this be a carry piece? If you like a bigger model the 35 is awesome with the longer sight radius, it also make the gun balance better for me. Glocks are great b/c of all the aftermarket parts and barrel swapability.. and barrels are less than $100each for a 9mm and .357sig. Plus only $500 for a great gun.
Sigs are hard to beat as well. They ride higher in the hand than the Glock but are built super tough. There are some pretty wicked variants of the 226 out now that I wouldn't mind owning.
Don't own any of the others.

Drmarc, that's an interesting way of testing a gun. KIDDING! Completely joking.
Seriously, my vote for a plastic gun would be the M&P. I have an M&P 40c (compact) and I love it. It fits my hand better than Glocks and points perfectly naturally.
If you're already used to the SA/DA setup and like the metal guns, you can't go wrong with a Sig IMO. I recently shot my granddad's P239 and it was extremely accurate, even with me shooting it. I didn't care overmuch for the muzzle flip versus what I'm used to with my M&P, but it was still a very nice gun to shoot.
It really depends on what your preference is. Those are two totally different guns, but both of them are nice. I can't speak for the reliability of Sigs personally, but I haven't ever heard anyone complaining about how unreliable they are.
My M&P hasn't hiccupped since I've owned it, and I bought it in February I think. I don't really keep count but I can figure on over 1,000 rounds of FMJ and probably 400 rounds of JHP of all brands and qualities and it's been great to me.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
Sig or HK if cost isnt an issue.
I hear good stuff on the FNH pistols.
I like the XDs trigger
Glock if you find the grip n trigger comfortable.
Not too fond of the SW M&P trigger, and had the same issue with a Walther P99
I dont think its fair to the 1911 to chamber it in anyhting but .40 ACP

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
Go shoot a Sig if you haven't already. One of my buddies has used one in law enforcement for a long time and recommended I check one out. I fucking love it. High quality, super reliable, comfortable. I especially like how Sig didn't go overboard and put three different safeties on their pistols like some makers. The decocker is all you need.
P.S. its deadly accurate.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
Glock 35/23 depending on what size you want and it's use. The glock is ugly, it's grip angle annoys some, but the things are simple and they flat out run. The only ones I've seen that don't run have been screwed with by their owners or had aftermarket parts shoved in them. Parts and mags are everywhere, lots of accessories, tons of holster options etc.
XDM is also hard to beat. SIG's are hard to beat, though my understanding is that SIG's QC has been slipping as of late and they are not quite up to what they used to be. There are lots of good reliable .40's these days.
If you are worried about shooting something up and not being able to get parts I still lean toward the glock. They have been on the market in massive numbers for 15+ years. Even if they stopped making them today you could find parts for them for another 20 years. My money is still on the glock if you want something to shoot, beat the piss out of, and never worry about.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
So many out there that I don't think you can go wrong with any of them if you stick to the main companies (Glock, Springfield, S&W, Sig, CZ). I am a big Glock fan so I would say any of their line of .40's. My favorite is the G35 but it is big (well long). I have a sig 229 in .40 but would prefer to trade it for a 226. I just prefer full sized guns. Now for CCW.. a G23 or 27 would be perfect if you like something smaller. I hear very good things about the S&W and XD lines as well. Shoot them all and see what works best for your hand and intentions.
Good luck and happy holidays.

Contrary to some above, I can't stand the Springfield XD series and is one of the few pistols I don't own a variant of. I have an SW Sigma, as someone suggested, but think it is a POS and would never buy another. Note, that the XD isn't necessarily a POS, it just feels completely wrong to me, personally. The Sigma, on the other hand, is a POS that does not feed reliably, at least in the example I own.
Might I also suggest you simply work really hard so you can afford to buy one of each? It's a great solution for the indecisive.

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
I started with 92FS and moved to a S&W 4013TSW. If the M&P isn't your cup of joe, then I'd recommend the TSW line. Incredible accuracy in a fairly compact package. Great carry firearm.

You just described a Glock. I love my 35 but the other .40 Glock are good too. If you can wait a month or two you can get the new G22 Gen 4 after the SHOT show. I've owned or at least used pretty much everything that has been mentioned and the Glock fits your criteria better than anything else. Many of the others are good and have their place but in the "beat up, abuse and easy to repair" category, Glock is unbeatable as yet.

I've owned or at least used pretty much everything that has been mentioned and the Glock fits your criteria better than anything else. Many of the others are good and have their place but in the "beat up, abuse and easy to repair" category, Glock is unbeatable as yet.

Have you tried the Cougar in 40? You can get the Beretta or the Stoeger. If you have big hands they feel pretty good with lazer grips. UD

Re: Recomendations for a new .40...
Have I missed the obvious in a preceeding post?
You say you already love the pasta machines...
No brainer then, get another 96...
Or a 92, it'll last longer in 9 and parts will be less of any issue considering the M9 is still, for better or worse, our Service Pistol.
They're both still around and fairly cheap when you shop around.
You say you're happy with the Kahr for CCW as well, so size obvious isn't an issue...
