USMC0369 (OP) User ID: 28143224 United States 01/01/2013 08:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: USMC0369 1. I do not like them at all and think you should read the review at this link befor you buy one, and would recommend a Ruger 380 LCP, or even a Beretta .32 Auto as a good CCW Firearm. I carry a Glock-19 But would not recommend one for a novice shooter do to the safe action trigger. Link: [link to www.armedlutheran.us] Thanks, man. I actually just read that review about an hour ago. Good to go The Beretta .32 Auto is a great CCW firearm. It is made very well, has a Good Safety on it that is easy to use, and it is a good shooting Firearm for any threat out to about 50 feet. I'm leaning towards the Kel-Tec PF-9 for my ccw. It's fairly inexpensive, and reliable. I want to put my money into a new rifle. The Kel-tec PF-9 is ok but But far from being on my top 3 list. If you want a Pocket Handgun, I say go with the Beretta .32 Auto, but you need to buy whatever works the best for you. “Once A Marine Always A Marine” |

We were at the gun club most every Sunday. My mom was a better shot than a lot of the men. She shot in Class D and won her class once against the men. My Dad was AAA. I despise guns. My brother is a gun fanatic! He got most of the guns except for the 12G semi-auto. Are you of the opinion that a woman needs a gun or should I just stay away from them?

Answer: Every law abiding citizen man or women of right mind and character should have a Firearm. But they all need to take the proper steps and learn how to safely operate the Firearm.

Only a fool would actually recommend the pathetic .32 as a CCW firearm. Whats next, a Jennings .25 auto? This guy is no firearms instructor I would trust my life too, YMMV, but beware. I'm the novice female thinking about getting a gun. I have been researching on the internet and found sources that say the .32 HS can have as much stopping power (a 300 lb man on drugs) as the .38 To me it seems that a revolver would be easier for a novice than a gun with a clip? Much easier to load the, uh, rounds (a new word I learned) and pull back the hammer than to insert the clip and pull the whole gun to load? |

This guy is no firearms instructor I would trust my life too, YMMV, but beware. 99% of all shooting take place within 21 feet. A .32 Auto is just as good as a 9mm at that close of range with the proper ammo in it. (Personal protection Ammo) The Question was about a pocket Firearm for a CCW Firearm. The .32 Auto is great for that you start moving up to 9mm and it gets way to balky. As far as a revolver. It is a very safe Firearm. With the Double Action Trigger that most modern revolvers have today there is NO WAY that you will pull that trigger is less you want it pulled. Unlike some of the Automatics that have a hair trigger on it. The safety on the Revolver is the trigger. Have you ever shot a Revolver?

What's the ballistic coefficienteny of a 556 69 gr bullet with a 1 and 9 twist? Quoting: Southern Lighthouse BC has nothing to do with the barrel twist. bullet mfr is also necessary to know the exact BC...along with the type of bullet.. Most .223 or 55.6 barrels are a 1 - 7 twist. You cant fire a 69 Gr bullet in a 1-7 twist Barrel. “Once A Marine Always A Marine” |
