Need advice 9/.40 SS/Blue
« on: February 19, 2006, 01:18:48 PM »
:D I'm in the market for a new pistol. I just sold two long guns today at a gun show. I now have $400.00 burning up my pocket  . I didn't see anything at the show that pushed my buttons (that I could afford) anyway. I stopped at the local gunshop on my way home.
I really liked the Taurus PT92B-17 (the Beretta clone) the price is $399.00

I didn't do it yet, I decided to go home and do a little research on the net first. After checking out the Taurus website I now like the Taurus PT101SS-11. They didn't have this one in stock but I know he can order it for me.

My questions are, is this a good weapon? It would be for home protection and some range plinking.
Does the .40 CAL. make a better round than the 9MM.?
Are there any other/better considerations for me in the $400.00 arena??
Thanks in advance, marylandeer
