I plan on going to the range tomorrow. Should be fun. :bang:

I'm looking for a gun that is fun to shoot at the range and offers good home protection.

I was thinking about purchasing this one:

The only down side I see is the extra safety on the grip. It just seems unnecessary. Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with it.

My buddy uses one when he's on duty.

Fun day at the range. The Veridian is awesome - pretty straight forward - point and shoot. Hole goes where the green dot is.

But I must say, I LOVE my new Ruger. Love it. Ran a couple of hundred rounds through it this afternoon. Very accurate, fun to shoot, light recoil. Magazines easy to load (actually easier to load manually than with the loader thing that came with it). The $10 rubber slip-on grip I added took care of all the grip issues - feels great in my hand. Trigger does have a bit of play, but once I got used to it it was no big deal. Easy to stage shots. Breaks down quickly and easily.

For $300 (price at Buds and what I paid locally), you can't go wrong with this bad boy, IMO. :thumb:

I never owned a gun and never felt unsafe. But, thats just me, maybe...

There's a first time for everything.

And a last time for everything.

Good for you. I feel safe without my guns, too.



I want to be fully prepared and a dead accurate shot if it ever comes to survival, though. Plus shooting is a lot of fun.

I didnt get to go to the range. Fricken place had an all day waiting list. HATE THAT.
Instead I looked at pics all day & watched Kan kick our asses for the last time.
my favorite pic of the day. Out of the 1000s I looked at. Hope you guys like it.

Good deal. Told you it'd feel good.

yeah, I know. Not an anti-gun person or anything like that,J just never felt the need to buy one. I traveled all the world and went to some really bad parts of the world without a gun. So living in suburbia I never felt the need for a gun.

I have always believed that when a person carries a gun they are inviting all of the attention to themselves in the event of something bad occuring.

I worked as a security guard in a bank for a couple years while going to flight school. We could carry if we wanted to, but I declined.

By carrying I would be killed in the event of a robbery. They can have the money, lives are more important.


Inside my house and car are completely different, though........

I was raised around guns all my life, so having one is as natural to me as breathing. I understand most people aren't like that. I've also lived in places where nobody was safe. Again, if you haven't, good for you.

The thing to remember is, everything is wonderful where you live, until that one moment that it isn't. At that point, nothing that came before will matter. It's just you and whatever happens next.

The guy who would break into your house, steal your possessions and inflict horrendous bodily harm on you and your family that you may or may not recover from earnestly hopes you never change your mind. Personally, I'd prefer to meet that person on my terms, not his.

I never "needed" a basketball but I love shootin hoops.

looking at getting a handgun for my graduation gift. Buddy of mine that works at a gunshop recommended a Glock 19 or a Ruger p95, what does everyone think?
