I just got back from Wal-Mart, bought two boxes of Winchester Target/Range with 100 rounds for 31.47 each. Much better than Gander's cheap brand at 23.67 for 50 rounds.

Thanks for all the replies. Well I pulled the trigger and bought the PB9108LP at 649.00. The Sporting Arms in Lewisvile had it for 569.00 including the CC surcharge but I would have to have driven for 6 hours and spent 50.00 for diesel. Mow I've got to go to Wal-Mart and get some shells and hope they are less than the 23.00 Gander wanted for their cheapest shells. I can't wait for it to get a little warmer this weekend so I can try it out.

While I was there I also picked up a Mossberg JIC 500 pistol grip 12 Ga. pump for good measure.

I have it narrowed down to two that I'm interested in. One is a blued Colt (don't remember the exact model) and the other is a parkerized Springfield Mil-Spec. I'm getting this mostly for personal defense but would also like to go to the range every so often to play. I'm also getting my CHL to be able to carry it.

I'm fairly new to this as I haven't fired a pistol in many years. One of main reasons I'm getting a new one is I don't really know enough about how to check a used one to be sure about it and would feel better having at least some warranty.

That being said, the Colt is 799.00 and the Springfield is 649.00.

Would the Colt really be a better gun or are you just paying for the Colt name.

Would there really be that much difference between them?

Thanks,
Richard
