Damn girly 9mm :)
$625. Brand new. And that includes the 9.25% crazy AR sales tax.Quote:

Yeah, I don't care what people say, I love a 9mm. It's able to do the 90% of the jobs done by most every handgun. .40 & .45's are cool, and I do like them, but serve as overkill for a LOT of people that own them.Quote:

Not a huge gun person so no idea about the brands you guys posted but to me they are all quite ugly. Short and stubby [I know sometimes that's useful]. But to me a gun should look like the Beretta 92FS. That's a badass looking handgun.

Be careful with it. Ive had to friends where the gun went off. Both times dechambering a round.Quote:

I had a Ruger go off on me once. I tried to fire it and it didn’t go off. I started to tilt it back slowly to see if the slide was jammed and BAM! It just went off without me pulling the trigger.
that sounds like a retarded primer not the gun its self i'd be pretty damn sure the firing pin and hammer did exactly what they are ment to do but the primer must have been bad. rule one of shooting....if it fails to fire hold the gun down range for 30 secs then attempt to clear the chamber.Quote:

Yep, I agree. I love my .380 for CC. I know people say it's too small but I don't think I would ever have a problem at the range you'd be justified in using it at. I'm really torn about moving up to a 9mm though. I don't think there is any need for a bigger caliber for CC. I do want to get a 1911 .45 simply for fun shooting though as my .380 is NO fun to shoot at all.Quote:

I was a firearms saleseman for over a year. I've talked to a lot of people, especially military. Personally, I'd rather take a 9MM over a .45 for ease. Cool, you can say you own a .45 and have a bunch of kids kissing your shoes (not to say it is a bad gun, at all...), or for home protection (99% use) you could use a 9MM. Using a .45 for home protection would be like me asking the shoe rental clerk at a bowling alley, "hey, I have a 9" penis, what shoe size do you recommend?" Or, if you are using it as the vast majority of people do, you could be practical. Sure, you'll have people tell you they have a bigger gun. That's fine! There is nothing wrong with that. However, unless used for hunting, ask yourself, "when will I encounter a situation where a 9MM would have not stopped my target, but if I was using a .45 it would've?"Quote:

With this said, I love shooting a .40, .44, and .45 (latter I have not much use in). I'm talking practicality.
its not the size of the round its where its placed. a .22 will take down attackers too if you place the shot right.Quote:

How very true. I don't know how many people I've had the caliber argument with. I feel that .380 or 9mm are perfect for CC because of size and they both have the take down power at around 12 yards. You would have a hard time explaining to a judge if you shot them from further away. Besides, I shooting to stop, not to kill. If they die in the process, well, then that's their problem. However, for home invasion, I shoot to kill. I think the best weapon for that is a shot gun. It will kill the asshole without going through a wall.Quote:

As I recall the preferred gun of mob assassins were .22s. It's one of the most deadly weapons out there.Quote:

I think the p99 is supposed to be a lot better. I love shooting my 9mm though. It's like shooting a paintball gun and it's damn accurate. If you put down 16 rounds in a couple seconds, you'll do some damage.
Today was fun. Put 238 rounds through my gun. Got it good and broken in. Shot the AK and AR too.
Guns to shoot. 2 ARs, 1 AK, 1 P99, 1 Sig Sauer 226, and 1 Sig Sauer 239. Didn't take the shotty.

Ya that speedloader sure helps the first few times lol
Many years back, I attended a couple of Jeff Cooper's combat handgun classes. He didn't care for 9mm a bit as a defense weapon. According to him, 9 out of 10 hit in the torso with a 9mm get back up, whereas 1 in 4 hit by a .45 will. He also has an interesting story about a drunk indian he emptied a .45 into, and then still had to wrestle an axe away from him. In his words, the indian was "too drunk to know he was dead".
His ammo of choice was 10mm, as is mine. When I cc, it's not for target practice, and if I ever have the need, my target will be right in the center of the chest. My target's next of kin may sue me, but he will not.
I won't draw and point a pistol untill I've decided deadly force is called for and at that point waiting can just get you killed. And even with a 10, I'll tap.
