Firearm BS thread

Yep.
I'll try to find some locally, she's still researching/looking at this point.

 

If you look at the LC9 get the LC9S! The trigger is way better than on the old LC9.

 

The lc9 is to small, she just shot the shield 9 and liked it except the heavy trigger and hinged trigger, currently waiting to shoot the XDs

 

Yeah, the Shield has a good aftermarket following.

 

Any of the pistols she's looking at are going to be in the 6-7lb pull range...like most striker fired guns.

Is she able to rack the slide? I know a lot of females have problems with it due to hand strength. The smaller the pistol the harder it is to rack the slide.

The walther CCP isn't your standard blowback design and as such is a lot easier to rack. Might want to look into that one too.

 

Guy at the gun store was telling us about them, but she shot the XDs and she said its leaps and bounds better than the Shield, it's her top pick and I'm supposed to shop around for her to get prices.

 

Yeah, she has the strength, an for how little shooting she has done lately I'm proud of her not limp existing in the 50rnds she shot.

 

Good stuff. Now, 3.3" xds or 4"?

 

We went to a pawn shop on the way home and they had a 4" XDs in .45 and she said she liked the shorter slide better, so I'm supposed to find her an XDs 9mm 3.3" with the stainless slide.

Bought a marlin xt-22 yesterday, and I need a scope to put on it, any recommendations?
I was thinking 2x?-32 or 40, budget is as cheap as I can get decent glass, less than $150

 

Thanks for the link

 

And whenever she gets it...

Glock 26 Ruger 101 Charter Arms Pathfinder

 

Was just looking at that, after FFL and holster cost she should be right at $500 (with 4 magazines, holster, 2 tone gun, magazine carrier, and range bag) the cheapest local was ~$500 for just the pistol (all black), 4 magazines, mag carrier, and range bag.

 

The normal package definitely isnt worth it. Crappy holster and mag pouch plus I think the carrying case is different...no thanks.

 

Nobody local had H&K's that I saw and I didn't think to ask.
She went ahead and ordered an XDs 9 tonight and it should be at the shop by Saturday to pick up.

 

You can't go wrong with that gun at all I have the XDs in 45ACP.....

Did you get he 3.3 or 4 inch?
