My Ruger P95 is nice, but a bit large for my hands. That was made worse by adding the Hogue hand-all, but it really has a nice feel to it with the cover.
The double-action pull is long, but the single action pull is crisp. Very similar feel to the S&W 6906. The 6906 has a mag safety, the P95 doesn't. If cash out of pocket is an issue the P95 is worth a look, or if a local range rents, they probably have one you could try. Worth looking into for all of them.... |

Sig Sauer SP 2022 amazing gun best price full size did I mention its an amazing gun? you can get it in 9mm or 40 for the price you are looking for the only thing you may change a THOUSAND rounds later is the guide rod, its polymer stock, you may want to go stainless |

@PT-92
your right. S&W had to fork over some money to Glock for copying the design, but the lawsuit was over the SD-VE's predecessor, the sigma, which was made well before. |

I have a bunch of guns that would make this list. All were $400 or less, some a lot less:
Beretta 92FS, used 98%, $400 with 3 factory and 2 GI mags, in the case with all the paperwork, etc. S&W 5906, used 98%, 3 factory mags, $325. Tanfoglio "Mossad" (Same gun as early EAA Witness) in satin nickel, 90+%, one factory mag $320. EAA Witness, same gun as above, different name, almost in 100%, 2 mags, $325, seller had all kinds of problems with it. I cleaned away the hunk of case stuck under the extractor, and it runs fine. Astra A-100, eats anything, 98+%, with three mags, $269. "Rust" was actually some kind of polishing compound that came off with CLP. My picks would be the 5906 or the 92FS, but all these guns are as reliable as a gun can possibly be (Yes, even the Astra), and none of them have any "limp wristing" nonsense as several of the guns I've had over the years have had. |

It's thin pickings out there right now, but I just recently picked up an Arcus 98DAC and it definitely should be on the list of ones to consider. I found one for $260 out the door and it's a solid gun.

Your price was mint-used I am assuming? NIB I have never seen less than $317 (before the panic).

I have a Ruger P95 9mm that cost me $300 out the door brand new. I have over 10k rounds through it and it's never jammed. That was 4 years ago I think. I imagine you can find them for a similar price today, maybe a little more. I've always kept it immaculate but I've never replaced any springs or anything.
Despite me having more powerful, accurate, and aesthetically pleasing pistols today, I still shoot that P95 like a champ and it "feels right" in my hand, and it never misses a lick. I've even shot several hundred rounds of really hot +p+ ammo through it and it's been no worse for wear, have shot thousands since then. |

So where did the OP go and is he leaning towards any one gun in particular...? Inquiring minds want to know ...
