Recommend me a pistol please!

I love pistols and have quite a few.

If you are looking for compact and light (assuming your son is not huge in the way that some 15 year olds can be), I'd go for the TM. There are a few compact pistols but I would suggest one of the Glocks or the S&W. I've got the latter (hate Glocks styling - sorry) and its ideal for a youngster.

Unfortunately it sounds like you are being seduced by different modern styling and thats really understandable - buying pistols is a bit like buying shoes. I love the H&K and have a USP which is one of my favourites. They are quite big though - obviously a TM wont be heavy.

I've just ordered a WE M9 and its big and heavy which I love - totally unsuitable for your son I suspect.

I agree with the others - TM Glock (providing you like the styling).

 
Well, he is pretty much as tall as I am and does have quite big hands so I reckon he'd be fine - the unwieldiness is more when it's in a holster, etc, because his current pistol is about 1.3kg so it bounces around loads when he runs, etc!! The TM pistols seem to be more like around 7-800g which will feel a lot lighter (I think).......

 
Sounds like the problem might be the holster then rather than the pistol.

 
Hmm, I'm not sure what the holster is, although it definitely doesn't fit the pistol so that's something that could be better. But that is just one reason for getting him something else - I know he'll like getting another pistol and if I can get him a decent TM then he'll be over the moon with it (I think!!lol)

 
Up to you but if you dont get a holster that fits, then you will have the same problem.

Good holsters are expensive until you drop or worse still, lose your pistol.

I dropped a pistol from a cheap holster when I started and its never worked properly since.

One thing Ive discovered is its much easier to get holsters for SIGs and Glocks.

The SIG P226 is my go-to weapon and it might also fit the bill for your son.

Worth adding to the mix.

 
I would get him a WE P226 I spend £170 with a holster, two tone and a extra mags it's really worth the extra £20
