What have you bought in the last 48 hours gun related?

Available with & without. Also, I don't know about the shield but my M&P 45's thumb safety comes right out and it functions fine without.

 

Like Polymerhead said, it comes with and without a safety. Its hardly noticeable, and I don't use it because that's just how I am. I only have one on mine because in California, to make it state compliant, it has to have one. Along with a MASSIVE chamber indicator on the slide, and a magazine release trigger safety. In your state though, you might not need any of those things to make it legal. Glocks don't have safeties, but IMO, I think its better to train without a safety anyways (that's a whole different debate). I recommend going out and trying the M&P line offered by Smith&Wesson. They have been making some AWESOME polymer framed S-Autos these past few years. Usually a bit cheaper then Glocks too. Both companies are good though; just depends on how you feel with each one.

 

Glock handguns actually sport three safety mechanisms: trigger safety, firing pin safety and drop safety from my understanding is that not correct?

 

You got it sir. I was referring to the "manual" finger safety on a firearm most novice shooters know about (and I think Jaycub was referring too). Not all the nitty gritty safety details that are attached to each individual firearm. In reference to the Glock; essentially, when you "pull" the trigger... it will go bang. That is what I was referring to.

 

yeah i know it has the firing pin safety, but i just prefer the manual safety near the slide since i have 2 god children always with me!

 

Cool! that's what I figured. if the manual safety near the slide is in your "needs" basket, Glock goes out the door. There are quite a few other gun makers that still make it on your list that you could try out. I recommend heading to a gun shop and scanning over their selection. Pick up a few and see if they fit your list. Ask the sales guy as many questions as you need to make sure a specific firearm is right for you. Folks over the inter-webs can only tell you so much. lol

 

Got some water guns at kmart.

 

Remington M/N 91

 

Well, it does depend on what store you go to as far as the sales people. Some of the most stupid things I've heard came from behind the counter. Do as much research as you can before going to the store. That way you have an idea if they know what they are talking about.

 

No manual safety on a striker fire gun is fine with me. I prefer a safety on a hammer fired gun.

 

You can get either. If it will be carried on your body, no safety is preferred. If it will be anywhere kids may have access to it, like the truck console or wifes purse, the safety is preferred.

 

it will be on my body alot, however we do have godchildren who are usually here so when it is in my truck or something, i would much rather have a safety.

 

Got an RCBS powder trickler to go with my new 505. Shoulda done that a long time ago. If anyone is getting into reloading I highly recommend getting both.

 

Ruger has some pretty good sales happening now. Some of them have the safety. I have a SR9 and a SR22. They both have the safety and will shoot anything that I put through them and I've shot A lot.. Little big for carry, but I have a beretta and LCP for that. Yeah I like the Rugers. The little Lcp is a handful when shooting bur great pocket carry.

 

Got my wife a new S&W Victory .22 for her birthday today. NICE gun, feels good, ought to be a good starter for her. Now that I've escaped the People's Republic of NJ, am picking up all sorts of toys, now that I don't have to wait soooo long. CCW weapon for me, maybe 2, and an AR or AK, before the election (just in case).

 

Let us know your thoughts. I'm on a constant quest for the perfect rimfire pistol. I've been through a dozen, some good, some meh, but the Victory looks interesting.

 

Ordered a bunch of AR stuff and 458 reloading parts. Got my dies in the mail yesterday.

 

Finally ordered some trijicon night sights for my S&W M&P .45.
I'll have to wait until next weekend to get it back. A little longer than expected but a new shop opened up and I wanted try them out.
Anyone heard or Oregon Rifleworks?

 

Picked up a Shark-Tac Kydex OWB holster and some Trijicon HD night sights installed .......
