Thinking of getting a handgun
 

I already have rifles, just want a handgun. What do you have? What do you recommend? Of course there are hand guns for general purpose, marksmanship, etc. I'd probably use it for target shooting, but at the same time, need something strong enough make sure anyone coming in my house will be down for the count when I hit them.

I have a Glock, S & W and a Sig....

I'd go the the H&K USP Tactical, it's a great gun for the range, and has the "protection" power you're looking for.

Highly modifiable, so no worrys there

However you can never go wrong with the classic .9mm beretta

But if you're looking for that show piece that catches everyones eye I'd go with, no not the desert eagle, its WAY to played out....

Never fails to bring a gun range to a stand still no matter what.

guns lead to violence.

yeah, sure it does, and porn leads to rape

I'll take this over any handgun for home protection!

Just about any Glock that you feel comfortable with.

You have some good suggestions here already
to add another, you might consider a Beratta PX4 Storm,
available in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP

and another Heckler & Koch you might want to look at,
the HK USP .40 or maybe a few others.

Pretty sweet looking handguns.thankfully never needed or had the urge to protect myself but would be cool to own and shoot at a range

300 rounds PM...holy bat shit.

I have a nuclear missle. I'd only use it in self defense though.

I have a S&W 40, model 410, great all purpose carry piece with plenty of power

$600-ish

I'll never understand how you americans can just own all these guns.. and what for?

Canada laws seems harder to own guns.. especially handguns.

the magic words.. I collect them.

i'm rather baffled myself...a lot of little dicks i guess and the need to feel powerful

The new .500 S&W Magnum dwarfs other big-bore cartridges that are currently available for production-manufactured revolvers.

the top one is the .50 compared to a .44 Magnum

Finally out-framed: The Model 500 literally dwarfs an 83?8-inch-barreled Model 629 .44 Magnum N-fame. The weight differential is considerable--about 50 ounces vs. 72 1/2 ounces. For additional security, the M500 features a ball detent lockup.

The X-Frame Model 500 Magnum Masterpiece (T) makes a large-frame Model 629 .44 Magnum look petite in comparison.

the hk's are hotttt

:thumbsup

I own alot of guns, but I carry on any given day two.

GLOCK 19
HK USP Compact .40

For home, it's my shotgun by the bed.

screw guns, I carry this creature with me all the time, people run for their lives

First choice: Any! H&K, SIG, and GLOCK
Second choice: Smith&Wesson or Beretta

Guns looks so good but it makes my hand shake :)

i´d recommend a Walter PPK. Small but very tough!

http://www.impactguns.com/store/media/wal_ppk.jpg

Great with silencer

Damn dude. Where the hell do you live that you need to keep a shotgun by the bed and be strapped all day? :1orglaugh

It's not because I need it, it's because I can.

I would run for my life. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Fair enough :thumbsup

Ever watch the news? No matter where you live, "better safe than sorry" are words to live by.

yep love mine

Another one of these. Guess everyone already knows the Canadian opinion on guns so no point in chiming in again.

I knew the Canucks would join this thread. You're right you don't understand.

We love busting your balls on this issue.

Have to many guns n too many brandds,,, stick with Glock n you will never go wrong!

what if they have rat repellent?

He could have an AK-47 by the bed for all I care :1orglaugh

If I had shit locks like this I would probably want to be strapped too.... :2 cents:

you must feel so cool, i can't even imagine :1orglaugh

Same reason I like poo...
Not because I need to, its because I can...

Yeah, do you pay attention when you're watching it? More "innocent people" die as a result of guys being in their home...than a result of some attack out of the blue.

and "innocent people" doesn't mean people putting themselves in a position or with the people that will result in having their brains blown out.

strange american's living in your little made up world of fear

Thats an Excellent gun;)
