I interested in a full size, 5" barrel, 9mm semi-auto for range shooting and light competition. I only own a couple of sub-compacts and a micro and accuracy at distance is a challenge.
I created a spreadsheet of two dozen different ones I gleaned from the internet. Some of the cheaper ones are in the $850 to $1,500 range. The more highly praised ones are in the $2,000 to $4,000 range, (ouch). Of course the reviews are all over the board with problems, issues, etc. Hard to believe some people purchase a $2,800 gun and there are issues.
What do you have and what is your experience, and what are your opinions? Are these higher end guns worth the investment?
And to muddy the waters further, different weights, comped, mag sizes, optics, grips, aluminum vs steel, etc. This has been quite a exercise in research.
Maybe I should just stick with my little guns !
