Looking to buy a Gun - suggestions...
My best friend is in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Academy. Was over at his house this evening and he showed me his new Glock 40 calibur handgun, which will be the gun he will carry in his new profession.
Granted, I have never owned a gun before and don't shoot a ton... but I do enjoy it the few chances that I have. I was just in awe of this handgun. I have been thinking of getting a gun for several years now. So my question is mainly this... is there another handgun that I should consider or have I already sighted in on the best one? One thing that is nice is that as a member of LVMPD, he can take 1 person at a time to the police shooting range... which happens to be about 5 minutes away from my house. Anyways... tell me what you think... |

at one point in my past, I had a Browning 9mm--it was a good gun, served its purpose

An 88-mm Flak gun. Not only is it great for anti-air, but you can also point it straight ahead and it's a powerful anti-tank weapon as well.

I just keep a machete under my couch (near the door.)
Easily trumps a BB bat and unless the intruder is carrying a ****ing RPG a clean strike to the neck beats a bullet wound every time...

One gun is never enough.
As for what kind to recommend, I agree with Big K, it really depends on what you want to do (and also how much you have to spend).

That cracks me up! When I was single and without child, I had a recliner next to my door. On the left side was a compartment for storing I guess, remotes...I stored a Long Colt .45 just in case....You never know when those pizza delivery guys are gonna go postal I guess... |

I keep a Remington 1100 right beside my bed. Nothing like a 12gauge semi-auto. Perfect for home protection. On a lighter note I do keep a 9mm Baretta 92 FS close at hand in my TV room so I have an option no matter what part of the house I am in. For a night out I have a Colt Mustang PocketLite .380 auto bout the size of a sterling auto. Great fit in the ankle holster. . Last edited by Kerberos; 02-17-2006 at 07:34 AM.. |
