A good friend of mine wants to buy his first handgun. I offered to help him out, and after going over his list of needs/wants in a handgun, I am struggling to find options for him. These are his criteria:

  • Caliber: 9mm
  • Capacity: 10+
  • Size: Comparable to G19 (he is 6'4" 220 lbs, so he can conceal a larger gun more easily than most, and probably will not find a smaller gun ergonomic in his hands)
  • Manual Safety: Yes
  • Price: $300-400
  • Application(s): Home defense, target shooting, and concealed carry - in that order. Carry will be infrequent.

He is somewhat flexible on the manual safety, and has not ruled out buying a gun without one, but he would like to try to find one with a manual safety if possible.


Guess I missed this part where he said he is somewhat flexible on the safety. So why is a Glock not a good option? Used gen 3 can easily be found for $400

Size comparable to a G19, 9mm, frame mounted manual safety, good ergos, I think it's 14 or 15+1. A little over the price range new, but it's a great little 9.
