Thank, waste a lot of rounds. But when you do a dot drill, you find the mistakes. I thought all gun use same sight picture. I will be picking up the P30L with light trigger shortly. Thanks all.

If in doubt, just get a Glock 17.

If you want to get fancy a bit, get a Glock 19 then.  :shaka:

For your 2nd (or 3rd) 9mm gun you can decide among many other interesting variants and models.

Many good ones out there but I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed with a Beretta 92FS.

I really, REALLY, wanted to like this gun.  A buddy of mine bought the Italian made one.  He was stoked on the ergonomics as was I.  Both of us agreed...........that trigger....... Finger travels for a quarter mile......then bang! 

Sweet gun, but man.....I have nightmares about that trigger.

Yep…that pull takes some getting used to for sure and many just hate it and will never get used to it. Others actually like it…I’m indifferent but I believe it really depends on what the handgun will be used for.

I have two…one that is completely original and one that has had extensive work on it, to include a trigger job, with a tuned hammer spring. One real easy and cheap thing to lighten the DA pull is to replace the F hammer spring with a D hammer spring, which is what a lot of people do, and I've never heard of anyone having light primer strikes with the D spring.

Glock.  Just point and shoot.  Parts are readily available.

If you are on a tight budget I suggest getting the Smith and Wesson SD9VE or SD40VE.

The trigger is a bit heavy but for the price it's hard to beat.

Sig P239, Glock 19 or other 9s similar in size.   IMO can use as a house gun or good holster carry.

They are reliable and easy to shoot.
I found mine in the consignment case (former LEO) for $350.
Ergonomics of a brick, fun to shoot.

I have one.  I like it a lot.  Very accurate.  I didn't have any problems with the trigger.  Easy to shoot.  I would recommend one to anyone thinking about it.  Price is right too!  :thumbsup:

Personally, we're  Glock fans. :love:
We keep several "at the ready " at home so no matter which one we pick up, it operates the same.
Same trigger safety, trigger tension, loaded indicator, slide release, mag release, and even magazine compatable (17 into 19, but not visa-versa but all reload mags are 17 version).
Easy to clean (same) and we REALLY LIKE the .22 conversion capability which is a real money saver.
