Which used gun should I buy?

[jonas_357]

The weapons are unfortunately more expensive in Switzerland than in the USA. I can't afford more than 450.- Swiss Francs (= about $ 350.- ). I found some used or new semiauto in 9 mm para which cost between SF 350.- and 450.- (= $ 270.- - 350.- ): which one would you buy in the list below?

Jericho 941
FEG P9R
FEG P9RK
FN HP 35 (with alloy frame)
Helwan 920
SIG P 220
SIG P 225
S&W 39

Sig P220 if for range use, and Sig 225 if you can carry concealed.

$350 is by far cheaper than we can buy either of these guns in the good old US of A.

Enjoy.

Yes, but these are used or demonstration guns. New ones are very expensive in our country!
As a swiss citizen, I can't contradict you if you say SIG are good guns!!!
Thanks for your answer!

if all the guns are in roughly the same shape "no rust ect" then i would with out a dout say one of the sig's. choose the one you like the looks and feel of.

I'd jump on the P6 (225) like a hungry coyote on a steak!!!

I've been looking for one here to go with my Walther P5, but cannot find one for less than $600US!!!! It's a distant pipe dream!!

SIG P220 or P225 tough call. The P220 is my favorite because of caliber, but the P225 ain't far behind. I have a soft spot for single stack SIGs.

Thank you all for your answers!
SIG is definitively the winner! But I have an additionnal question: if the SIGs are already sold, which one should I buy on my list? How would be your own list, from the best to the worst?

[Tommy Vercetti]

the Sigs would be my first two choices, followed by the FN Hi Power GP-35

 

[WESHOOT2]

no-brainer

That Jericho 941 is the best gun on your list.......

 

[ddskehan]

sig 220 then the 225. last the FN HP

 

[jonas_357]

I know now that some of you had good experiences with SIG, HP and Jericho guns. Any opinion about the others?

 

[cslinger]

Helwans seem to be relatively crappy Beretta copies.
FEG makes decent guns but some of them that I have handled have had some of the worst triggers/bar none that I have ever experienced.....including the HK VP70.

Basically the SIGs and the High Power are just sooo much better overall not to mention the quality control is likely much much better as well.

[jonas_357]

And what about the S&W 39? It's quite an old model, but...

 

[45 Fu]

Go with the Sigs.

 

[Te Anau]

That Jericho 941 is the best gun on your list.......

+1 on that.Avoid anything made by Helwan like youd avoid the plague.:barf:

 

[SpookBoy]

Quality wise I'd go with the sig's or the Fn, But the smith should be no slouch either.I'd say go with what YOU feel most comfortable with.

 

[Love&Hate12]

I'd go with the Sig 225

I have family that lives in Switzerland

Beautiful country

 

[kjdoski]

Either Sig for that price would be a good deal, assuming they're not beat to heck... If you can get the ammunition fairly inexpensively, I'd get the 220; otherwise the 225 would be my choice.
