Hey Guys,

Well my buddies wedding is coming up in a couple of months and I've been thinking of getting him a handgun as a wedding gift. Any one have a couple of suggestions for me? Id also like to know where I could get some engraving done on it also. I want to stay more on the practical/tactical side of it... so nothing flashy, id like to keep it black . And I'm thinking of spending around 400ish.

Thanks.

A stainless Springfield Armory GI might make a good project.

Used Glock or Used Springfield GI Parkerized might be nice.

You don't buy the groom a wedding gift.  You buy the COUPLE a wedding gift.   If they wife to be is into to guns, maybe, otherwise this is a dumb idea.

Yeah, skip the gun and get the couple something nice, unless she is into guns as well.

Boy am I glad you guys aren't my friends...If he wants to buy his buddy a gun for taking the plunge then so be it. It's not the first time I've heard of a gift like this.

Springfield XD's or a nice S&W snubbie with wooden grips. $400 is pushing the low end on a decent level of quality.

You guys do have a point. I want to get my buddy a handgun because he doesn't have one yet. Should I get her something also? or would that come off as weird?

It can be a home/car protection gift for the both of them
They will likely get lots of gifts for the both of them so it shouldn't matter.  Plus, he's your buddy so it's okay.

Glock 26. I picked up one (NIB) from the EE for $440 shipped. I think the guy might have a few more.
