[QUOTE="Rajder, post: 1301877, member: 11636"] Man I was in the exact same situation as you not too long ago. I wanted to get a cheap pistol that could be used for plinking, home defense, and the wife had to be able to shoot it. I wanted .40 cal as well but settled for 9mm for the recoil purposes for the wife (and cheaper ammo). I picked up a Ruger P95 at the gun show for $300 brand new and I couldn't be happier with it. I shoot with my brothers and they have the Gen4 Glock 22 (.40 cal) and XDM in .40 cal. They both have about twice in their guns what I have in the Ruger. The Gen 4 glock and the XDM are both nicer guns than the Ruger, but they aren't $300 nicer thats for sure. The Rugers are built like tanks and will eat any ammo you can throw at them without a hiccup. For me the Ruger will do everything that I need it to do and I'm walking around with an extra $300 in my pocket. It will never be a carry gun, but for what I wanted it works perfect. Don't get me wrong, if you are OK with parting with $600 then the XDM or the Glocks are awesome guns. I personally like the XDM just a little better but both are awesome. But if you want a solid, less expensive, dependable gun I am big fan of the Ruger's. [/QUOTE]
