What’s the best $1500 handgun that I probably don’t own yet?

SunTzuSayz@reddit

Colt Python.

[-]

Skicrazy85@reddit

I own one as a fun gun. If it's a main gun start with a staccato

[-]

Psiwolf@reddit

Staccato overrated. There, I said what many of us were thinking. 😁👍

[-]

Delicious-Kick-6690@reddit (OP)

I’m not a Staccato fan myself. I have a Prodigy, a Bul EDC Pro, a stock Platypus and a customized one on order. Next 2011 is a Jacob Grey or a Cosaint Arms double stack 10mm.

[-]

Delicious-Kick-6690@reddit (OP)

Since I posted this a year ago I’ve ended up with 4 Staccatos 🤦

Processing img 6kfuu7451ewg1...

[-]

No sir, they're overpriced. And they are over priced because they are rated correctly, my c2 with a comp and rmr is seemingly impossible to miss with on steel targets and cans. And makes people laugh because of how quickly it can run.

[-]

Dcm155@reddit

Can confirm Staccato is mega over rated. Take it from me, I own an XC,C2, and P. All nothing special.

[-]

Milksmither@reddit

It's just and ugly 2011 with a star on this side. I'm with you.

[-]

WestSide75@reddit

A Staccato for $1,500? I’d be interested in that.

[-]

MarginallyAmusing@reddit

This is the answer! It's high on my list of next guns.

[-]

TheNinjaScarFace@reddit

Or any Colt Snake gun. Make it a thing for the next few birthdays and own the whole collection of newer models.

[-]

MarcusWulfe941@reddit

Or, Colt Kodiak

[-]

pokemon--gangbang@reddit

Very nice, if were talking fancy wheel guns, for the gentleman I would also recommend the S&W Performance Center 629 Stealth Hunter in . 44 Magnum.

https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/performance-center-model-629-stealth-hunter

Another high on the list is a Spohr Club Edition, although a bit more spendy. https://spohrguns.com/spohr-revolver_products/spohr-club-edition-6-0/

Stone_The_Rock@reddit

CZ Shadow 2 OR is under $1500.

Walther PDP SF 5” is around $1500.

Beretta 92X Performance Carry Optic is around $1100 with a rebate which is a stupidly good price on an incredible gun.

Tanfoglios are in reach.

You could get a trio of Grand Power rotating barrel pistols, or send a PX4 storm to LTT.

You might be able to find an HK Mark 23 if you have massive hands.

[-]

Delicious-Kick-6690@reddit (OP)

I have the Shadow 2 and Shadow 2 compact already. I have a PDP Pro SD which I know isn’t a SF but I have no Berettas as of yet so I’m going to look into the 92X.

[-]

Scrumdiddlyumptious1@reddit

My first gun, a Px4, is still the best handgun I own, decades later, and I’ve been through a few, including some higher end pistols, such as the Shadow 2, Sig Emperor Scorpion, S&W MP R8, etc.

[-]

Knogood@reddit

I got a 5" ppq thinking I would 3 gun with it, then a found a 92fs and shoot better with the beretta...

I would get a colt delta elite or anything 10mm dan wesson.

[-]

Stone_The_Rock@reddit

You could also go for the more pedestrian Beretta 92FS and then do the LTT trigger in a bag upgrade. Less expensive for sure, and good to have the classics covered.

You and I have similar tastes!

[-]

RejectorPharm@reddit

Don’t. Cannot find a decent holster for it.

[-]

RejectorPharm@reddit

While I love the way the 92x Peformance Carry Optic shoots, I have had it for 10 months and still cannot find a holster for it.

That being said, I just spent $4500 on 4 handguns.

USP .45 Expert Sig P226 Legion SAO CZ Shadow 2 OR gold S&W Bodyguard 2.0

Sig Spectre Comp

Any of the Magnum Research BFR series (I suggest the 450 Marlin)

Anshutz Exemplar (If you can find one)

[-]

Delicious-Kick-6690@reddit (OP)

I bought a Spectre Comp! Thanks for the suggestions. Found it at my local gun shop. Unfortunately with the optic it’ll be well over $1500 lol

[-]

Killermondoduderawks@reddit

Sweet you’ll love it it’s my fave pistol to shoot

[-]

Delicious-Kick-6690@reddit (OP)

I really want a Spectre Comp but can’t find one.

[-]

Thordor15@reddit

You should be able to find them on guns.com and gunbroker. You will never see them in gun stores.

[-]

EntertainmentBig2125@reddit

M&P Spec (metal). It’s like you spent a million dollars on a competition or service weapon. It’s both. Check it out on YouTube. And it’s less that $1000. Crazy value.

[-]

Delicious-Kick-6690@reddit (OP)

You need a pimp gun for your collection. Chiappa Rhino 60DS, nickel plated.

[-]

Psiwolf@reddit

Good choice, wrong color. The gold is the best.

[-]

Logizyme@reddit

Nebula begs to differ. Leave gold to the Deagles and 1911

[-]

Psiwolf@reddit

Nebula #2 for me, I would probably pick one up at a reasonable price if they made more in the 60DD. 👍

[-]

Logizyme@reddit

For real. I regret not snagging a 60DS when they were affordable.

[-]

RedOwl97@reddit

You’re right. The gold makes for a superior pimp gun

[-]

That’s like me saying the P7, it’s just not going to happen.

[-]

AM-64@reddit

I haven't seen a MK23 for that price in a long long time.

[-]

WombatAnnihilator@reddit

Same. 6 years ago I bought one used off a guy who needed money to buy a wedding ring. He sold it to me for $1450.

[-]

CaptJoshuaCalvert@reddit

An S&W 1006. It'll change your life.

[-]

AM-64@reddit

Second the 1006, OP just needs to get one with several magazines or he'll regret it as those are getting pricey.

[-]

AM-64@reddit

I mean anything currently in production from HK will last tens of thousands of rounds. I'd look at a USP or a P30 or even a VP9.

S&W makes some nice Performance Center guns that are super accurate. If you don't have a .22LR target gun the Model 41 is easily one of if not the best .22LR handgun out there.

I wouldn't buy a Kimber as they don't make them like they used to. Lots of folks I know with Kimber guns have had issues.

[-]

Capt_Batty@reddit

Ruger Blackhawk .30 carbine with a 7.5 inch barrel. No recoil but huge muzzle flash and boom.

Dan Wesson has a nice selection. Mine shoots better than I'm capable of. Also, the S&W .460 XVR 8 3/8 " is an excellent shooter and a conversation starter. It shoots the .460, 454 and 45 LC.

Volquartsen black mamba .22. So fun, accurate and cheap to shoot. Work of art. Not to derail but if you're in the U S, get a suppressor if you haven't already. Takes a week!

[-]

FK PSD. Super goofy and unique. Beats any other caliber in energy delivery.

Get an FN510

[-]

Delicious-Kick-6690@reddit (OP)

Have it. Love it. My fave 10.

[-]

RickySlayer9@reddit

Then I’d suggest a p226, a NICE 1911, and probably a Ruger mk3 or mk4. Fun and cheap to shoot

[-]

theFootballcream@reddit

BUL Armory - check those fuckers out

[-]

Delicious-Kick-6690@reddit (OP)

[-]

Beretta M9A4.

[-]

SPECTREagent700@reddit

A fine pistol but if he wants to spend more, Beretta 92G Elite LTT. It’s a M9A1 frame with an M9A3 slide with a decocker only (no safety) and some added enhancements like a trigger job.

[-]

If you don't have a 92 variant yet then that has to be your answer. 92x optics ready would be my choice. Add the classic 92 action to the collection but with a more comfortable grip and the provisions for lights, optics etc.

Look into one of the newer 92 series Berettas. If you're a tactical guy, try the GTS. If you're more of a shooting feeling guy, try the competition models. They're incredibly good value for a great trigger with great features.
