For a First time Hand Gun owner what should I get? - GoFuckYourself.com

KMR Stitch · 05-15-2005, 09:48 PM

I want something with knockdown power.

As well as easy to conceal. Yes I will be getting my CCW

I was looking at a 92F..

warlock5 · 05-15-2005, 09:50 PM

Try out different things, handguns are really a matter of personal preferance.

BlueWire · 05-15-2005, 09:52 PM

how about a squirt gun...you wont accidentally kill someone that way

Guns dont kill people. the sudden impact of the bullet hitting someone kills people

nofx · 05-15-2005, 09:55 PM

you can use any type of gun to kill yourself but I would suggest getting a 9mm. .22 bullets wont kill you.

Spunky · 05-15-2005, 10:03 PM

357 Magnum

ER!C L!VE · 05-15-2005, 10:10 PM

If money is not an option, then check out the .40 or 9mm Glock

I have a CCW permit and carry a Kel-Tek .40

Cheers!

YARGH! A safe if you have children.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 05-15-2005, 10:10 PM

9MM of course.

Babagirls · 05-15-2005, 10:13 PM

a glock

78910

bringer · 05-15-2005, 10:20 PM

glock 23

Alien Queue · 05-15-2005, 10:21 PM

As my namesake said, get a 9MM. Not a huge fan of the glock 'safety', but good hardware. If cash isn't an option, look at the SIG P series, and the H&K USP series. If you want 'more' stopping power, look at the 1911 models. The best advice I can give is, go to the range, bring some cash, rent a bunch of handguns. See what is comfortable for you, what is easy to shoot. Focus on the front sights, and dump a few hundred rounds through what you like.

.45's tend to be a big large for CCW, there are smaller(ish) models, but they tend to hurt to shoot. Also, while they're small, stay the fuck away from the Makarov 9MM's, as they fucking HURT to shoot.

(I'm a personal fan of the springfield arms 9mm's and SIG's.)

If this were home defense, get a shotgun. And a safe. Well, get a safe either way. Even if you don't have kids, kids visit.

DWB · 05-15-2005, 10:23 PM

Jeeze... another person with a hand gun.

Get a 12 gauge shot gun (short barrel, tactical grips) and keep it under your bed for home protection. Have your first 2 shots buckshot so you don't miss your target and the rest slugs to finish the job. That's all anyone needs. To carry a gun on the streets is just asking for trouble.

swedguy · 05-15-2005, 10:35 PM

I like Glock .45

It's got a nice little kick to it

Bottom line is, nobody makes a handgun like Glock. It not just BS. Police departments use them because the last thing you need is a handgun jamming when you actually need it.

maybe move out of the trailer park first then start to spend money on guns.

if you want one that small look at the 27
if you're looking for cheap avoid .45, a day at the range can be quite expensive

best be is to go down to a gun store/range and shoot off some rounds in each.

I figure it costs about 1.00 per bullet.

I fired my girlfriends grandpa's guns he had a .357/.44 and a .50 grizzly gun.

Only thing I didn't shoot was the .50 Said It would hurt me because I was inexperienced

it'd probably hurt regardless
you wanna pay $1 per bullet? ouch

Her Grandpa makes his own bullets.. So ammo wouldn't be the problem.

I went to the range and shot
$100.00 and all I did was rent a .22 Rugar and buy ammo and targets it was a lot of fun.. but yeah.. I hear a .50 cal can be like .87 cents per bullet or so

Triple 6 · 05-16-2005, 12:01 AM

i have a glock 19 but im lookin at getting a springfield XD, lots of concepts from glock design (ie, polymer) and has some other interesting features

http://www.springfield-armory.com/pr...l-ported.shtml

mockingbich · 05-16-2005, 12:05 AM

Glocks are too easy to shoot accidentally.. They're great for cops who need precision firepower in an instant... but the average person can easily get into trouble with that trigger.. it's just too easy to pull

The guy who owns the gun range I shoot at knows 3 people who have shot themselves with glocks. One was a cop who shot his own ball off, one was a dude who works at the shop and accidentally got his gun caught when moving boxes and it fired accidentally

The best advice I can give you is to think safety first. The H&K USP compact series has a lot of safety features and the gun is easy to disassemble and clean. I'd stay away from Berettas (they shoot nice but suck to disassemble)

Try shooting a few guns and seeing what caliber you're most comfortable with. Any size bullet fired with precision is gonna have plenty of stopping power

Also, make sure to put at least 500-600 rounds through your gun before you get a CCW. You want to make sure that it is solid and reliable and doesn't jam up on you

Satisfaction · 05-16-2005, 12:05 AM

no personal handguns allowed here in aus

kenny · 05-16-2005, 12:10 AM

9mm has no knockdown power

knockdown power = .45

abadfish · 05-16-2005, 12:35 AM

I like shooting guns and I've been wanting to buy a handgun for quite some time but I have to say I find it disturbing how many people claim they don't leave home without one and the people that carry them everywhere.

TheJimmy · 05-16-2005, 12:38 AM

a .357 revolver for rock solid performance and good carry, and good knockdown...

however, the 2 of my favorites are my sig229 40S&W and my .45 paraordnance p14-45...

...

PS: my wife had a 92F and she loved it...but not really a great carry weapon imo...and knockdown on a 9mm is 'ehh'

Is that the new caliber one my salesman was showing off? To tell you the truth I went in to buy the 9mm - just bought the 23 because it was the same size with a bit extra punch. I love it - shoots like a dream and the internal laser is sweet.

Listen to what people are saying about lack of a safety though - something like 22 DC cops have shot themselves so far. Because you can rack it so easily though I solved that by not carrying one in the chamber - most of the time.

Dalai lama · 05-16-2005, 07:21 AM

9 mm yep ;)

ProjectNaked · 05-16-2005, 07:28 AM

First handgun I bought was a Glock 20 - 10mm and (2) 15 round clips (you can't find now)...still my first choice @ 4:00am

keep in mind, as soon as you add that gun to your household you increase the odds of yourself or a family member being shot by 80%

i have nothing against your family, so if/when that happens i hope its you who takes that round

I have the Glock 30 with the Laser max. I carry Federal Hydroshocks in it, which open to full diamater within 3 inches.

You cannot beat the .45 caliber for stopping power. The 30 is a subcompact, and I carry it with zero problems.

Only thing is get the pearce grips for your clips to extend the pinky fingers grip.

Buy a holster that is fingerless. Having a weapon without one in the chamber makes no sense.
