Question for the pistol guys in here. I think I’m dead set on what I will be purchasing as I acquire my pistol permit, but would like some of your guys advice. I am looking at a Glock 23 .40, was standard issue when my father was a cop, shot one once and loved it, thought it felt nice, and he thinks it would be the gun to get. I have little experience with different hand guns and wondering if anyone thinks another gun might be a wise choice, and would possibly be willing to go to the range with me and allow me check out your choice. The 23 is standard issue for a lot of enforcement agencies and from what I know the glock has always proven to be a solid gun, seems like a wise choice. ---

Block 23 FTW. That’s most definitely what I’m getting when I get my concealed. ---

Good choice, I have 2 of them. Was going to sell the one but realized how much I love it. I have a gen 4 and a gen 3 rtf. Gen 4 for carry (when I carry a glock) and rtf for the collecting aspect. As far as glocks in general, I have 4 with at least two more in the immediate future. Great guns, I love them. ---

I have a Gen 4 Glock 17. I like it! I always recommend Glock. Can’t go wrong with them IMO. ---

I just took the rear sight off to expose the 3/8" groves. Also, removed the front sight because it was all bent. Bought a decent, cheap scope and scope rings. Everything will be here Friday. Will probably shoot this weekend if it isn’t too cold! Went to VT this weekend and I ALMOST picked up a Hex receiver Mosin Nagant from a gun store there. Much nicer than my 40’s round receiver. ---

Lcps are ok. If I had to have a .380 id go after the Sig or smith bodyguard. I love the external thumb safety on the bodyguard great feature for a pocket carry in my opinion. I myself also prefer to have a 9mm or bigger. Stay away from the Ruger Lc9. Solos are good if you can find one. Look into berettas new nano or w.e it is? It’s a small 9mm. I finger fucked one and it seams to be a nice piece. ---

Can anyone recommend a good 2x optic for my m&p15-22? I tried finding an EOTech, but had no luck, they seem to be either 1x, or 3.5x+. I have a TruGlo 1x red dot on it now and want to upgrade. ---
