Good pistol?

I'm looking to buy a pistol and need some input. What is a good pistol to buy and where is the best place to buy it? I don't care if it's used, but I need one. I'd like a small handgun but powerful. Thanks. :)
 
Springfield XD40

its compact, .40 cal, and looks nice. and can be had for less than $600. I have a Smith & Wesson Sigma SW9VE and I love it... but the trigger pull is very heavy... you may not like, plus its only a 9mm, which still would slow someone down. If you wanna go even bigger and have the money for it... get a Kimber Pro-Carry. Its .45 caliber and looks bad ass. I;ll post some pics in a min
 
Here is the XD40 Sub >> as you can see its very compact and its .40 cal:

and a Kimber Pro-Carry (upwards of $1000)

my Sigma was I think $350 when I bought it in 2009. So the least expensive of my suggestions.
 
heres a video of the Springfield XD 40 compact at the range: pretty low recoil and its super compact, great for carry



WHEN I buy a new pistol, which will be soon... it will be a Sig P226 or P229. I like how its DA/SA (dual action, single action...you'll see this a lot when shopping for a gun) DA means when you pull the trigger, 2 actions are being conducted inside the firearm, making for a longer, heavier trigger pull... SA is when you can cock back the hammer of the pistol, so when you pull the trigger it takes very little effort for the firearm to discharge.

basically, dont get me started on guns cause I can and WILL go on forever LOL


:D
 
I don't mean to be sexist here but a .40 cal may be a little much for a woman to shoot (unless she is a seasoned shooter). I'm sure she wants more than a 9mil but a 40 just might be too much.
 
smith and wesson M&P .40 is my personal favorite. BUT...

I'd recommend going into the local gunstore and holding the guns yourself. and if you have the time its best to actually shoot the gun at a range before you buy it. those 2 suggestions are THE BEST and least practiced tips ever. find what fits your hands most comfortably, then shoot it at the range. you will find your perfect gun when you do that
