New Gun Recommendations? I've been with this forum since 2008 but never really post anything. I just read thru the forums occasionally. I bought my first and only gun, a Springfield Armory XD9 4" barrel about 7 years ago. The gun has been excellent for me. I've never had any problems with it and I CC it everywhere I go just about. I think I'm ready for a 2nd gun and was wondering what you guys would recommend for me? I'm looking to stay around the $1000 or less range and I also would need an ambidextrous gun because I can shoot and draw lefty or righty.
Thanks in advance for looking and any recommendations given. I also need to find a site where I can find left handed IWB holsters. I have a Galco right handed IWB holster that I like very much but last time I looked I couldn't find the left handed equivalent.

IMHO..the only truly ambi guns are revolvers. Almost all semi-autos eject the spent casings to the right. So even if you have ambi controls, you still have the problem of casings flying at you when you shoot lefty.
So with that in mind - maybe a hammerless snub nose revolver? Such as a Smith & Wesson Airweight, Ruger LCR, or anything from Charter Arms? Any of these will make a great pocket carry gun as well.

Unless you are looking toward a 1911 or perhaps a Walther,(dual controls) the revolver is a great way to go for the second pistol. Something as a nice BUG. Put it in a pocket or ankle holster.
(The Walther has ambi mag release in the trigger guard. I like mine.)
Good idea Phil on the revolver!

A Glock will do very nicely i.m.h.o.

smith&wesson 442 would be a choice, 5 rnds hammerless fits in your pocket
What are you looking to do with this gun? Would it be a CC gun or just a range toy for recreational shooting?
Remember tho that if you are going to pocket carry a revolver as recommended above the cylinder is a nice, big, fat hinderance if you are trying to hide it, IMHO. If you use a holster for it, as you should, there will be even more width added to that.
