I don't really like glocks, got my eyes on a Sig P239 Enhanced Elite 9mm, but also kinda like the Berettas for not being a burgerland company, any other brands I should be looking at, whats the least chuddiest company, I looked at the HK site and my god, they have American flags everywhere and MAGA sales.

ETA: Im in 'Commiefornia' so any gun suggestions should be able to be sold here.

You should never buy a gun based on its chud status. It’s a tool and it’s here to serve a function. Plus that’s a battle I’ve tried to fight and got exhausted doing. Just buy the one you like, which after it’s all said and done, will probably be a Glock.

If after reading that you’re still not convinced, the only thing I’ll say is sig is easily the most chud of all of these at the moment because they won the NGSW contract for the army and also their pistols have been adopted by the army and marine corp.

Yeah. Can't really go wrong with a glock. they're as reliable as any mechanical device can be, there's tons of after-market parts and crap, everyone knows how to use them.

Yup it’s the biggest reason I recommend them. Everyone suggesting boutique guns is wrong imho. You will not find a pistol that is more ubiquitous that the Glock. There are tons of parts, you can always find videos about them if you have a question, and most importantly everyone uses them so magazines are plentiful.

And you know that SIG contract isn't going to get dropped, otherwise there's a risk of an accidental discharge.
