      Buying online at places like dahlonega, family firearms, and Kentucky gun co is where you’ll find the best prices. They’ll ship it to your ffl (so make sure they’ll do the transfer and make sure you factor in that fee to your comparison but almost certainly you’ll still come out ahead) and you’ll go in and do the transfer. I haven’t seen the pdp for under $500 there either but I haven’t really been looking either. Just checked and FF has them listed for $650 but has an “email for customized quote” button (so they can get around map) and for the 509c they’re asking $549 currently price in cart.

    So many options! Also the IWI Masada Slim; smaller than the 43x in all dimensions but 3 rounds more; same price, and very shootable. RMS-C Optic cut, SIG sight cuts, and CZ-75 pattern mags; excellent interoperability.

    I picked up a 5" pdp back in July and I gotta say it is a phenomenal gun. They only downside is it is a little snappy which can be a problem if your grip is a little weak. Also the sights kinda suck in my opinion, but throw an optic on that bad boy and man it is a tac driver.

  • @markchristy9704
    @markchristy9704 Před 8 měsíci +7

    I take issue a little bit with the P365 listed as an "under $500" gun. Best I've seen it for is $499.99. I suppose, technically that makes it under $500, but the only way to get that price (that I've seen) is online which means there will be an FFL transfer fee on top of taxes. If you're finding the P365 and Walther PDP for under $500 out in Iowa, maybe it's time for me to move.

Based on the Springfield Xd-m and fits the XD holsters, uses Sig P226 18+ round mags, glock compatible sights, sweet trigger, comes with a nice plastic box full of accessories including grip side panels and back straps for 27 different grip customizations, as well as a magwell if you want that too. Awesome gun for a very good price at Bud's gun.
