So, I'm in the market for a new pistol, something out of the ordinary.

I'm thinking Caracal, Steyr, FN, or XD (I know, XD isn't rare, but I don't have one).

Anyone have experience with them?
 
I have a XD9, XD9 subcompact, and XD45 - love them. I've been shooting the crap out of the 9mm's lately and they've become two of my favorite pistols. They fit my hand perfect and I shoot them incredibly well. If you find yourself on the Cape sometime you can check em out.
 
I held an XDm 45 5.25, wasn't all that impressed. Seemed more plasticky then most polymer guns.

Having said that, I definitely want an XDm of some sort. Just haven't bought one yet. [smile]

I'd love to hold one and see how it felt. Looks sexy.

The FN FiveSeven is just for mall ninjas and the ammo is pricy. Plus you can't get the armor piercing loads it was designed for. You can get two other guns for the price of that.

Just my 2 cents though.

Give us some hints. You want something older? Odd caliber? Big? 50AE? 45 win mag? 10mm? 357/44 autoloader? Older 9mm or 10mm? Wheel gun? what about a 1911 in 357 sig, or 10mm, or 9 x 25 dillon or 40 corbon? Just throwing stuff out there. A Fusion longslide hunter in 10mm?
 
What's the going rate of an XDM 5.25? I'm really interested in one of those as well in either 9mm or .45
 
Out of all the stuff you mentioned, the Caracal is the most interesting.

I have my sights on the FNX45 but I was told it wont be available for about 6 months. Something about 15+1 of .45 in what is supposedly a great shooting handgun excites me.

its funny that even i knock the fn 5.7, but i would love to shoot and fondle one. i would also really be intrigued to see how it would perform out of a carbine on varmints...yet i digress.

if you are going for different my friend, perhaps a custom long slide 1911 in 10mm? A webley? what do you like bud, give us some hints as to what you are looking for?
 
I have a Steyr in 9mm (bear gun) and the trigger and sights are very nice. Not a lot of $$ (about 600 at ZHA) and spare mags are about 20.

True, they are cool but impractical for civilians. If they were around $600, I'd buy one. But for the price of one I'd rather buy 2 Glocks or similar guns.
