Life Yo, Mr. Bwana, need your advice...

**petegz28** · 12-26-2009, 09:35 PM

I am looking to get 2 firearms, 1 for CCW and another for an assault type shotgun.

For the CCW I am thinking a .380. What is a good one that won't break me but won't **** up when I need it?

For the shotgun, what do you reccomend that is reasonable on the pocket book?

Thanks in advance

Browning 9mm will never fail you.

For the shotty - Mossberg 590a1 Adjustable Stock 6 shot

That is a solid gun as well.

As far as the pistol. I would at least step up to a 9mm. I pack a glock 20, 10mm, with 15 round clips, with lots of extras, and some hard hitting ammo. It can be a pain to conceal at times though, because of the size.

Bigoldchieffan turned me onto Doubletap ammo, http://www.doubletapammo.com/php/catalog/index.php which I bought for the back country, in the event I encounter a dust up with a grizzly. (BOCF knows his stuff) They also make very some hard hitting "human rounds" as does Dakota ammo with their Corbon rounds. http://www.dakotaammo.net/

Both make very high dollar ammo, so you won't be taking it "plinking," but they are great to have in the gun, in the event poo hits the fan.

my brother in law carries this as his back up/secondary gun. sweet gun.

this is the sub-compact - which is smaller than the compact. I think my full-size barrel is 4"?...not sure what the compact is. but this woudl give you an idea on size. The compact would be slightly larger than this.
I also like my XD-9 because of the safety features. Trigger safety, grip safety; cocking pin indicator on the back of the slide, and loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide. My wife can look at the gun, and determine it's 'hot'. (although she always considers it hot, until she drops the magazine and locks the slide open).

Mu father in law used to carry some hard hitting, people killers. He repos houses and never knows what or who is going to be in the house when he goes in. He switched over to just plain old fmj's. He said if he shoots someone, because of the laws now and such, he is afraid to rip them in half and such. Make some sense I guess.
