my first gun...

well i shouldn't say i haven't picked one out. i've actually picked 3 out, i'm going to get a kel-tec pf9 for summertime use or when im wearing shorts for an easier conceal. then when i am wearing jeans im either going with the glock 37 or a xd .40

 

Both the Glock and and the XD .40 are awesome weapons. If you are looking for some great upgrades after you get it check this guy out http://www.barsto.com he has a beautiful shop and has had my XD for about two months doing about $700 worth in upgrades. He is only about 3 miles from me.

 

sweet. yeah once i get one im gonna have the .40 (whichever i pick) upgraded a little. im gonna keep the kel tec as is though

 

Good deal man, either way let me know what you are looking at and I will go out to Barsto and see if I can get you a deal if you want. I will shoot you some pics of mine when I get it back this week (fingers crossed) I am getting the new barrel, new spring, prototype 3rd safety, Dawson night sights, extended mag release, new mag well and grip reduction. It should be pretty sweet. What is cool about Barsto is that he works with Springfield to do prototype work before stuff hits the market so I will be the first with the new safety paddle! WooHoo, well other than the Springfield shooting team.

 

I would grab a nice set of tritium sights and a thousand rounds of ammo or so. . .shoot the thing till it feels like is is part of your hand. Practice your draws and racks till you can do them in your sleep. Make it feel as normal as your cell phone, that is always my goal.

 

sounds good man. thanks. ill shot ya a pm once i get everything and am ready for the guy.

lucky me i have 85 acres to shoot on so you better believe ill be buying up ammo and shootin alot,

thanks for the tips chris. very helpful, as always

 

ok ok so i have my 2 choices for my conceal carry, finally!!!

A) s&w .38 special with crimson trace laser

B) kel tec .380

i like the simplicity of the .38, power, and accuracy...but i like the compactness of the .380. dont get me wrong the .38 is compact and light too, but i think the kel tec is more compact. i might get both though not sure...

also, im gonna be picking up a mossberg 500 pursuader 12 gauge with 8 round capacity. im also lookin to get an ar-15 or something like a .223 round.

 

The SW 38sp is a smart first gun.
Don't let the laser become a crutch...learn to aim(point) like the laser didn't work...cuz some day....

Doorbuster shotty is for what?
No practical purpose other than SHTF.

 

Check out the Sigs as well! Just go to a gun show and get the feel for what fits best in your hand!

 

Any wheel gun for that fact of the matter is a smart first gun.

The SW 38 sp is a great defensive choice. No bells and whistles... no complicated safety to manipulate, really the perfect personal protection piece.

Today's potent 38 +p rounds offer a greatly improved shot to stop ratio than that of the 38 caliber ammo from yesteryear. The 38 is no longer "light in the pants" by comparison.

I'd suggest a revolver to all who want a handgun for protection purposes and are without the aptitude to accept the potential issues that an auto loading handgun can present.

Not to sound improper, but most, (not all), women fall into this catagory.

Safety first. That's the real deal. Being able to hit what you aim at under stress is the other. It doesn't matter a hill of beans how big a bullet you're throwing if it doesn't hit the intended target. A ten year old with a .22 caliber rimfire that shoots regularly is going to be way more accurate compared to someone who carries a big bore handgun and fails to practice properly with it.

Just because someone carries doesn't mean I would want them defending me inside a fast food restaurant.

Get certified instruction with whatever handgun you choose... buy the best quality firearm you can afford, (save up... don't skimp here), and become proficient with it. This way, both you and your weapon will do the job if and when called upon.

What to know about calibers? Save space and flamers... just PM me.

 

Ok so i went on a spree today. i bought a s&w .38 special airweight and a s&w .49. I also bought a colt .22 tactical rimfire full metal construction

 

Here is my concealed carry pistol. When I pull this out from my coat they just drop dead and then I keep walking. HAHAHAHA Just kidding.
Its a Thompson Contender 16" ported barrel in the .500 S&W. IT can shoot up to a 500 grain bullet.

 

Haha, awesome. My wife's late father has/had a S&W .460 in the 6" and the 8" models. That was a beast too.

 

Ya bout five rounds of this rig it makes my hand numb. But it makes one big hole in boxes.

 

if the grip angle is straight up and down that would be 90degrees
after measuring the angles on a drafting software it appears that
the XD was 75 degrees
the 1911 was 73 degrees
the glock was 70 degrees

75 and 73 would be.... NOT the same.

 

Back for more? I thought I embarrassed you enough last time, no?

 

You did nothing but look dumb..... and be wrong....and throw a tantrum about it.

Damn , sitting here wondering...OMG whats the most gay, retarded thing on Tacomaworld , you or your sig. I can't tell. I guess I while ask you , what ever you say is always right anyway.

 

His sig...


but its mildly funny...


so...
