Advice for new handgun

[Kamran80]

Assalam-o-alaikum friends,
I recently received DM for purchasing NPB gun, I am resident of Rawalpindi and visited Liaqat Bagh couple of days ago for a short survey.
Only CF 98 (@65K) and Taurus TH 9(@110K) are available.
Called Badarudin, he has Zigana PX9 for 99K.
I will always prefer hammer fire gun.
I have budget of 100K maximum, seniors are requested for advice. Purpose is HD/SD and rarely conceal carry as well.

you like hammer fired guns then if you can get zig 14 in your budget its a very nice shooting gun,copy of browing hight power some come with 13 round mags like original high power and some are imported with 15 round mags or
you can simply go for cf 98 a good budget hand gun.

The CF 98 is a good gun. decent robust and reliable package that gets the job done. And the price is also very good.

Thanks ED bro, I will stick to your advice, I was wondering whether I will be able to get a good holster for CF98 or I have to rest with typical pouches called "Kash"

For a first time buyer I'd always recommend a CF98 or NP42 to start off with untill they are experienced & confident enough to upgrade and carry a striker fired safely. Even though I don't know if you are a first time buyer or not but that's generally what I'd advise and have been advising to my own friends & family newbies too, and did exactly the same myself over 10 years ago when I was upgrading to imported guns from the local copies (since quite a young age).. Bought a Zastava M57 & a CF98 those days. Do NOT worry about the "Kash" at all our markets are full of cheap & beautiful universal holsters/ Kashes and worse case scenario you could go or order a custom made one for CF98 from Chowk Yadgaar or Sitara Market Peshawar.

AOA Dear, CF 98 is a very reasonably priced good handgun. It has all the required safeties of a modern handgun, including firing pin block safety, in addition to a decocker/ manual safety. It remained by EDC gun for over 8 years, and it was my first own gun. You can keep it for HD as well as CC. Go for it

Dear you may visit Shams Saddlers at Massey Gate pindi, they make custom leather holsters, select the type of holster you want and they'll make for CF. in winters i use shoulder holster, summers i use IWB.

Thanks for your valuable advice, no doubt it has all the required features.

They are good from what I have seen Fraz but pricey for a newbie I'd just recommend just a normal Parachute pre-made universal holster or even a custom made in Peshawar won't cost more than 2k. I know one guy in Mardan he'll make him a good custom made leather one for around 2.5k-3K, proper FBI style. And ironically when I visited him a few years ago he showed me a few samples he had made on order fir customers one of he specifically mentioned was for a CF98 without me asking him. Shams Saddlers will set him back min 6-7K, which in my opinion is not really worth spending on a CF. Other's may well disagree but again it's a matter of one's choice & opinion but I'm just trying to save Kamran or anyone else a few bucks.

AOA Dear brother, yes Shams is very pricey but the products last a lifetime. However there's no harm in trying other options, I've been using cheaper iwb holsters. Can you please share details of the Mardan guy, I'll give him a visit. Regards

Thanks a lot for advice not to spend enough money considering value of CF98. But I will pay a visit to see their products.

Dear, holsters are like chips, you just can't have one. I bought the CF for 38k, my holsters were worth more than that. Btw the most used holster remained the IWB one which i bought for 800-900. Shoulder holsters are good for winters only

IWB holster was bought from Shams Saddler? I am also interested in IWB.
