Seriously. Dont even fuck with it. Ive read FAR to many “ATTN Pittspeed: I have no recollection of what the hell I did last night” threads started by you. You’ll get all trashed, pull it out, and either get shot or shoot someone. Either way, you’ll be fucked. ---

I’d STRONGLY recommend getting a book with conceal carry laws in PA. I have one and after i read it i realized that the chance of me ever using my pistol legally is SLIM. Someone kicks your ass and takes your wallet… you CANT use it. Someone hits your girlfriend and steals your car… you CANT use it. Someone has their hand in their pocket and says gimme your wallet/car… you CANT use it. ONLY when they have a knife or a gun pointed at you is when you can use it. ☹ BUT… Glocks and S&W’s are gay… a good conceal/carry pistol is Springfield’s XD .40 with the 4" barrel. :love: ---

Holy fuck… you think the government uses them because they are the best? 🤣 They most likely have a contract with them to buy so many a year at x price. Sure they are an _ok_ gun and the MOST POPULAR but put a common Glock next to a common Sig and see the superior weapon. 🙂 I mean jesus doesnt US law enforcement all drive American cars (ie. Impala, Caprice, Crown Vic)? :ugh: ---
