Is it too early to buy my second man cannon only after a little over a month?

I purchased my 9mm Beretta Px4 storm full size and I'm really enjoying taking it to the range. I basically practice and handle it daily when I'm not travelling. I'm deeply considering buying a second one, possibly a .40 caliber, either a S&W MP40, Glock .40 (probably full size as I have a big hand and live in CA, CCW isnt an option), or possibly a Sig .40. Is it too early for me to get another one?

What would you get if you were in my shoes? I think sigs are a little more than I wanna spend. I'm looking to spend around $500 which I'm pretty sure I can get the S&W or Glock.

Also, I do like the extra safety on my beretta, which I know the Glock doesnt have.

What do you guys think, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Check out an SR40.....manual safety, mag safety, trigger safety. Under your budget...17 rds.....or get a used Beretta 96.

I'm sorry! It's too early to buy another one. Check back with the forum in a couple months. :)

I say it is never too early to fall in love again.

I am of the mind set that there is no such thing as too much ammo, too many guns, or too much food. Considering that you are looking into a different caliber, it makes it all the more reasonable to not wait. It isn't like you are wanting another 9. You are wanting a .40. It is apples and oranges.

I say if you have the money go for it.

Get the Ruger

Look at a Sig P250C in .40 cal. :smt002

BTW.....you should never ask yourself particular questions. Especially one like, Is it too soon to buy another gun?

It's a no-brainer. :smt083

Never too early. Never enough guns lol. And they're better than women because one doesn't complain when you get your hands all over another one.

Cannon

Heck, get another PX4 in .40 if the 9mm is treating you good. I have a full size .40 and love it. For me it would be a no brainer since the operation is the same, muscle memory would be identical. I am in the same camp however my 9mm is a SC model PX4. As for being too early, it is never too early. I bought 5 handguns in 5 months...

I say buy that .40. I have a glock 23 and love it, but those Berettas are really sweet. If you want variety get another manufacturer but if you dig the PX4 style, stick with it. You can never have too many guns. Oh and don't concern yourself with the safety on a Glock if you go that route. That trigger safety is extremely reliable.

As long as you've had the proper training go for it..

OP, I would look into the M&P line. Great pistols and the price is not to bad.

Thanks for all the responses guys!


How much will that Sig run me?

I love my Beretta but want some variety as some of you guys stated. I think it almost be a waste of money to get the Px4 in .40. The S&W looks pretty sweet.

Go to: Guns for Sale - Online Gun Auction - Buy Guns at GunBroker.com

Do a search for Sig P250C

Lots to choose from.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Also, considering I have a semi-auto (9mm beretta px4 storm), would you consider switching it up and getting a revolver instead of another semi-auto? .357 magnum or something of the like? I just really like my semi-auto and they are popular for a reason, right?

Do you think that I should pay my electric bill today, or wait till next week, and what about the cable bill? I could pay it today, but they really tick me off, so maybe i'll pay it late, and I think it might snow by me....do you think I should buy a new shovel, or just use the one I have? My car was running funny the other day, do you think it's the gas, or maybe the fuel filter, or maybe I just don't drive it enough...what do you think?UOTE=TheLAGuy;281792]Thanks for the recommendation.

Everybody should have at least one revolver or 12.

Me....I prefer S&W. I have calibers from .22LR to .44 Mag. I do prefer the SS ones over the blue ones. But that's just me.

I've heard that there are mentally disturbed individuals out there that prefer the blue over the SS. Go figure!

Anyways, try to take it one step at a time and not take on too much all at once. Educate yourself as much as you can on firearms. If you do, you will find it most rewarding.

Just so long as he doesn't start talking about kiestering a man cannon...

But seriously, LAGuy, your threads kind of read like Green Eggs and Ham...

Could you would you keep it chambered in a box?
Could you would you keep it chambered on a train?
Could you would you keep it chambered in the rain?
In the dark? Could you would you keep it chambered in the dark???

Also, I should add that I appreciate your enthusiasm etc, you just come off kind of....off is all.

Well thanks for the support, I just feel this is a "go-to" place for all my questions that I have. I'm not going to lie, I've recently got into the whole hand gun biz. And this came at the 31, thanks again. :)

You're welcome, to be honest I would not have placed you @ 31. Some of your word usage comes across as juvenile and not very serious...like "man cannon" etc. That's why you're getting a little grief. Once you start getting a little more knowlege under your belt and get used to how to better communicate via the forum media you'll be taken a little more seriously.

Regarding gun purchases, this is a weird time. You might end up spending more, or it might be a good time to buy something else before you can't.... At this time I would probably advise you to keep getting better acquainted with your gun and think about what you like and don't like about it and go from there.

Spend the gun money on ammo and some professional training.
