Thinking about buying a new pistol. I want a large caliber but a small pistol any tips on what i should purchase

G27.

In the family of "baby GLOCK", it is compact for easy concealment, yet carries 9+1 rounds of .40S&W stock. With a Pearce +1 Mag extension (P/N: PG-2733), you can have 10+1, a place to have your pinky sit, and very little loss in concealablility.

Carry premium rounds such as Winchester Ranger SXT Talon 165gr (what I use) or 180gr .40S&W or any other premium Hollow Point and you won't have any issue with penetration or 'stopping power'.

Add in a Blackhawk CQC Serpa holster (can be purchased a little cheaper without the 'carbon fiber' sticker... yes, it's a very thick sticker) and you're in business for any OC or CC situation. I know... I use this exact combination.

Mr. 357: Sir; Khar Arms; .45 will serve you well. Small

While looking check out the CZ 75 Compac in 40 S&W. A good site to look at pistols is The Gun Source very low prices and you can click a caliber and see what appears to be hundreds to different brands of pistols in the caliber you choose.

Check out the Glock 36

Large bore/light weight = phenominal recoil and
force impact on hand/wrist = lack of practice =
never becoming proficient = failure in time of danger and/or hunting opportunity

Note the Smith and Wesson Scanium .44's are not setting the sales world on fire.

Think it out - get a proper balance of weight, balance, and caliber, practice, then be ready when opportunities or needs arise.

I had a Glock 30 in .45 that wasn't too bad. A little hard to hold onto a .45 in such a small frame if you have big hands like me. That's why I traded it. Here's what it looks like:

I have a glock 30 and I love it. The recoil isn't harsh even for a shorter gun.

Think about the Model 33, best bang for your buck.

azguy · 12-25-2007, 02:29 AM

Get the Glock 33, it is the same as the 27, but more bang for the buck, also you can get a .40 berrel and swap it out if the Sig.357 is too expensive to shoot.

Another one for the CZ 75 Compact 40 S&W.

SIG-Sauer SIG Pro SP 2022 pistol, developed for French police and gendarmerie forces.

Buy SIG-Sauer SIGPro pistols at Impact Guns online store Type: Double Action or Double Action Only
Chamber: 9x19mm Para, .357SIG, .40 S&W
Weight with empty magazine: 760 g (9mm); 790 g (.40 & .357)
Length: 187 mm
Barrel length: 99 mm
Capacity: 15 (9mm) or 12 (.40) rounds

I like this gun due to its length and its magzine capacity and what it shoots(the 357 sig and the 40sw) both being very reliable.

Sit on it and have a think
