Look at the Springfield XD pistols. Every bit as good as a Glock and even better in other ways too.
ETA: You can get them new for under your $450 asking price too. |

I like Ruger pistols. They are more comfortable in my hand than any other handgun. This is my presonal experience. I have an SP101 (.357 Mag) that I carry concealed, and I have a P97 (.45) as well. Both can be had for under $450.

+1 on the Ruger.
You can pick up a used Ruger for quite a nice price and use the rest of your $450.00 for hi cap mags and ammo. I have a P89DC that I bought from an ex Seal (legit) from my work. I never clean it and it runs like a tank. For what it is, accuracy is good. Just last week I took it out to the sandpit and hit a gas grill propane tank with every shot from 25yds as fast as I could pull the trigger. As it is a beefy gun the recoil is non existant and it does not care what you feed it. It may not be the prettiest or flashiest gun out there but it will fire EVERY time no matter what you do to it. I have put about 10,000 rounds through it without so much as a single failure. Mag failures included. Buy the Ruger, good company to deal with also. |

+1 on that. you can get a new p89 or p95 for less than $375. yeah they are not too pretty but they are designed to be a good hard working military pistol. and if something does go wrong with it they are the best company to deal with. or buy a cz75. they are more comfortable but a bit more expensive. why buy a used pistol when you can buy an excellent new one instead? |

GOt to agree with most of the above. Ruger p series, ruger .357, or a cz 75.
Might check CDNN for a police trade in glock as well. TXL |

Look around town and on the internet, eventually you will find a "used" Glock that is practically new for some insanely low price. If glock isn't your flavor, there is always deals out there on like new, yet considered used guns, for prices that make it seem like you are robbing the seller.

the ONLY thing that an XD has on a glock is the fact that it has a grip angle that allows 1911 trained shooters to transition to it easily. otherwise its trigger is even worse, the high bore axis makes muzzle flip a big problem, and the finish on them is a total joke. get a glock, you might be able to pick up a used SIG for about $450 if you look hard, or get a no frills 1911. |

STEYR M9, can still be had NEW for $300-$350.
Same Tennifer finish as Glock, a great trigger and a grip made to be held by human hands. Spend the extra $100-$150 on a holster,mags and ammo. |

The Steyr is saddled by the fact of not having any spare parts imported due to Steyr Austria selling .50 cal rifles to the Iranian Police and them now being on the US shit list for it. Steyr asked W to lift the import restrictions so that they could import rifles to US sportsmen but they refused.       Otherwise, I'd have to say that was an excellent choice. wganz ¶ |

Why not a new Baby Eagle in .45 or .40, full size all steell. I have the 9mm and the .45 and they are great shooters and reliable, plus I personally like the weight of an all steel handgun. I think they still have polygonal(sp) rifling also.

+1 on going the CDNN route.
They have used Sig trade ins there for that price range, and CPOs too. Or if you want something a bit different, they have Walther P99 series there and the Ruger P series and heck, alot of diff ones in that price range. Go to www.cdnninvestments.com and download their catalog. Lots of interesting stuff in there. |
