Thinking about getting a hand gun....

not that it is terribly practical but when I think pistol I always think desert eagle. This was the first youtube vid that popped up. those are some massive flashes.

They make baby DE’s that are .38/.40/.45 too that are MUCH smaller.

why did you pick the .357 SIG round? I know the secret service uses it but ammo is very expensive. Pretty much a necked down .40 cal brass

I seem to like the G23, and the H&K P2000 is real nice also

No real reason other than I like the penetration and muzzle velocity, and after renting one at a range I LOVED the gun. Ammo actually isn’t significantly more expensive than 9mm or .40, so thats not an issue for me.

Your fucking kidding right? where are the statistics for people shot with their own handgun vs those that won a gunfight with karate. Really.

I’ll use my jedi powers to stop bullets with my glowing cock

in GA specifically, I just lookedit up, you can get a handgun/permit at same location assuming you have never had a felony and you have a valid Georgia license. So, real easy. In the OP defense, this city has around 3-4 pubicly known shootings/week. Granted there are 7M+ people in this city, but a disturbing number nonetheless.

:lol: Logic. From what I’ve read/heard, something like krav-maga is better for self defense anyway. I was talking to a guy who used to teach kick-boxing in the falls and train fighters, and he was saying that martial arts guys always got their asses kicked in real fights. :shrug:

And yeah, be of the mindset that you don’t point a gun at anything that you don’t intend to put a hole in, and you don’t put a hole in anything you don’t want dead. Stand-offs and shooting guys in the leg to disable them is movie shit and will just get you dead.

Good luck dude. Keep your wits up. Your brain’s a better weapon for keeping you safe anyway.

Yea, keep believing that.

What? The whole brain thing? That attitude’s kept me safe for just about 27 years now. Never been in so much as a fist fight. :shrug:

I really love the Glock 19.

It is a 9mm so the ammo is cheap. That is good because then you can shoot it often, which allows you to be comfortable with the gun, and actually good at using it.

Here is one with the optional pressure triggered laser. This will be my next gun purchase.

If you ever buy a 9mm, buy a glock.

If you want something bigger, the only gun I would get would be the Kimber Ultra Carry.

If you are a good shot, and know how to use a gun, I would also recommend a Walther .22. Yes i know it is small, but the things a hollow point high velocity .22 will do is scary. Plus .22s have a tendency to “bounce” around off bones inside a person causing massive internal damage.

It is hard to tell, but the P22 is a tiny gun. Very easily fit into your pocket.

i like my glock 21. it’s .45 cal. i think i’m gonna buy the glock 30sf next time i get paid. it’s .45 like the 21, but with a shorter frame, holds fewer rounds, and has a shorter barrel.

get a .45. it is a VERY good man stopper. be warned though, the bullet WILL go through a person!

see above gun

the beauty of that gun is that you don’t have to pick up spent shell casings if you have to get out in a hurry :snky:

:lol: Knowing you, and the convo you had with me a month ago, i was understood that you were already “strapped” as you put it. The last thing you need is a gun. IMO we dont need anymore trigger happy ppl with something to prove running around with handguns. If you come in contact with said mugger, give him your money and let him be on his way, call the police and let them do their job. The last thing anybody needs is a bartender all hamered walking to his car getting in gunfights on a public street.
-Regardless I have a glock .45 and a glock .40. Theyre both great guns and basically maintenance free. Stay away from 9mm.'s theres no stopping power.

I bet if you shoot someone in the right areas a 9mm will stop someone just fine.

Don’t get a HAND GUN.

Get a GUN HAND:

I find this smiley to be a much better response than what I originally typed.

and bob running around telling people he is “strapped” is funny too.
