Gabriel (OP) User ID: 1251149 United States 02/07/2011 10:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How many times have you past a gun shop and wondered about stopping in but where afraid to? Don't be, go inside and you will see its like any other store. They will help you find the best weapon for your needs and also train you how to use it. Get inside that firing range and try it out. I guarantee you after you do it you will ask yourself why you waited so long. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1042753 United States 02/07/2011 10:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Okay i'll start. My recommended Hand Gun would be a 9mm for several reasons. The most important reason is the availability of the Ammo if all hell broke lose in the world. Quoting: GabrielI'd say a good recommendation for target practice, but for a real defense situation, get something in 45. Even if 9mm will be more plentiful in a SHTF scenario, you won't need nearly as much 45 ammo. |

I have high capacity clips so i can shoot a lot of rounds without changing clips. |

I'm going to buy it next week. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1213083What gauge and how much? I don't like buying anything from pawn shops though. |

Very small, good for my boot. Better than a 22 but won't stop much. It will however make a big bang which is all you need scare off ... things. Edit to add... good price but fire it at the range to make sure its okay. Last Edited by Gabriel on 02/07/2011 10:54 AM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1258175 United States 02/07/2011 11:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, I am interested in purchasing my first gun, a pistol. I'm leaning towards a .40 cal Glock. I wanted to get the GEN 4 glock. It was a S&W. I get confused about that, it could be a Glock, but a Smith & Wesson glock? Although Glock is also a manufacturer? Sorry, I'm a noob. Anyway...what do you think? |

"i survived the DOOM and then gave my killer the ammo to shoot me with" great head stone!! Good point. The gathering of massive amounts of ammo should only be done if TSHTF and you need to come together as a community or neighborhood to defend yourself from the certain onslaught of the dog eat dog world we will have to put up with. I wouldn't want to live near a big city when it happens. |
