Recommendations for a good 9mm
I was thinking of buying a 9mm soon (1-2 months depending on how finances look). I have my eye on an Sig SP 2022, but was wondering if you guys had any good suggestions. My budget is up to $500 + fees. This will be my first gun purchase so I wanted thoughts and recommendations.

I personally don't like the SP 2022. It just feels a bit big and I don't like the DAO trigger. Personally a used Glock 19 would do you good.

I've handled a SP 2022, it's okay I guess. I'm old school, P226 or 92FS, depending on your hand size they could be too big though. A S&W 5906 can be had at a great price, if you don't mind used. If you want a polymer frame, the Springfield XD or XDM, I like them over a Glock.

The Springfield XDM is a fine piece.

A used XDM 3.8 compact is a good choice. Get the pierce grip for the small mag and you're good to go. The S&W MP compacts are pretty good but if you save a little bit more the Shield is an excellent choice

Not sure what one is going for these days, but it's hard to go wrong with a CZ-75. Nor any of the S&W autos. I'm not a fan of the XD, but I carry a Glock personally.
Also, my first 9mm was a Ruger P-95.

If you can, go shoot a few different pistols just to see what "fits" you best

Nevermind. I guess the one I handled was DAO.
Personally for a "first gun", I wouldn't recommend a gun that is DA/SA because it requires a bit more training for trigger control. I just don't like the consistency of that kind of trigger. Also for the OP, what is the gun for? Carry? Home Defense? Shits and giggles?
