My sister wants to get her husband a handgun and i told her i would help her figure out a good dependable and reasonably priced firearm.
I have created a short list and I'm hoping you guys can help with the decision.
Kimber custom II
STI Spartan
Springfield Mil-Spec Stainless 1911
Charles Daly Empire EFS
Taurus PT1911
Sig P250
S&W M&P45
He has a bunch of hunting rifles and a glock 9mm, so i'm leaning towards the springer Mil-spec atm, so he has a little diversity in his collection. Anything u guys can add to this list, or advice on which would be a better choice would be appreciated.
Also anyone know of a good gunstore around Allen where should could go purchase the weapon? She doesnt know a whole lot about them so i want to make sure no one tries to cheat her.

I would suggest a trip to The Bullet Trap in Plano where he can rent most of these to try them out before buying.
I am not suggesting that he buy them there just try them out first.

I'll have Sig 250's in early next week (about the 19th) if you'd like to take a look at them. They'll be real hard to find till after Shot Show otherwise. I'm a 'kitchen table' dealer in north Frisco. I've also got a pretty good inventory of other Sigs at the moment.
Thanks!
