New Gun

[Parkbandit]

In honor of SCOTUS upholding the right of Americans to bear firearms.. I'm purchasing a new pistol. I currently have a Colt MK IV Series 80 Government Model .380, but want to upgrade. Mostly used for a shooting range gun and home defense.

Any good suggestions?

[Nieninque]

...and home defense.

Any good suggestions?

For target shooting? Taurus PT 111. 9mm semi-auto, internal lock, 10-round clip.

[Tisket]

It's for PB? Then I'd recommend: http://www.hegewisch.net/blindkat/pirates/muzzle.html

[Stanley Burrell]

Get the high-powered rail gun that shoots out kittens I added in my edited textbox in that other thread and then maybe I'll let you sign my sneaker.

I cannot honestly believe how awesome I am. I need to pace myself.

[sst]

Recently picked up a Springfield XD .40cal with a 4 inch barrel for in the house... the wife is learning on it. I've only shot about 200 rounds though it but I'm very pleased. So, I second Daniel's suggestion at picking one up especially when comparing it to the one i carried deployed, a Beretta 9mm (m9) and the one I currently carry while working, a Sig P228 9mm (m11)

[Stanley Burrell]

Dave.

You do not understand how badly I feel the need to quote Martin Lawrence impersonating a policeman from "Blue Streak" where he starts vouching for new handguns in an officer meeting.

God. You gotta love that movie. Fuckin' timeless.

[Warriorbird]

When I shoot pistols I use a .22 Long Rifle caliber Ruger Mk II.

[TheEschaton]

I'd go with a sig too - I don't know what it is, but it feels better in my hands.

[Celephais]

Depends what you're looking for, but a fucking badass conceal/carry is the Ruger LCP. Love that gun.

[radamanthys]

Deagle 50. Yea.

[Methais]

Oh, oh, wait. You're a pro-military conservative. You should be buying a Desert Eagle .45. :P

.357 auto is more expensive to shoot at the range but it will turn heads and cut people in half. You should always practice with what you carry but it's nice to go just shoot smiley faces with the 9mm sometimes.

.357 model interchanges with a .40 s&w barrel if you want. Can pick one of those up for like $100.

9mm is cheap as shit to shoot at range and higher capacity. 15 round mag with 1 in the chamber. They're double action very safe with a hammer block and manual de cocker.

Get some hogue rubber grips and night sites on your new SIG and you're good to go.

Trust me you will never be sad about a SIG. The 229 is medium sized.. not sure if of your frame or where you want to carry but it's a great shoulder holster pistol even tho I wear mine strong side on the hip under a shirt.

There is a real nice custom leather holster guy in Palm Harbor if you want some nice leather to go with it for carrying. They're molded and cured to the gun so they fit perfect.

[Sean of the Thread]

There are plenty of fine sigs but that's my preference for carry.

Daniels Springfield is not a bad choice either but again not my preference.

Anyways GET A SIG!

[Sean of the Thread]

Oh and the 239 is a good choice for carry depending on your size and comes in all three of the calibers I mentioned although I'd suggest 9mm for that. It's lighter and slimmer than the 229 but ripping .40's or .357 autos thru it is a beast.

http://www.sigsauer.com/Products/ShowCatalogCategory.aspx?categoryid=1

P229 DAK™
The P229 DAK™ is the standard pistol of the Dept. of Homeland Security and the U.S. Coast Guard who selected the P229 after a 3 million round grueling torture test. A favorite among law enforcement professionals, the P229 offers compact size, choice in firepower of 9mm, .357 SIG or .40 S&W, tactical versatility of an accessory rail, double-action only and the unbeatable performance that only comes from SIG SAUER® all in one package. Developed by the renowned engineers at Sauer for the SIG SAUER® pistols, the new DAK™ trigger system delivers a safe, reliable and consistent 6.5 pound double-action only trigger pull. The DAK™ also features double-strike capability. SIG SAUER® DAK™ pistols also disassemble without the need to pull the trigger - simply lock the slide back and remove the magazine to disassemble like other SIG pistols. The DAK™ is also available in the P220, P226 and P239 models.


My suggestion to be honest.

OH and don't be a douchebag and get a two tone or stainless.

These are around $1000 pistols but trust me you'll love every cent spent on them. You can prolly find one used for around $300 if you trust it and know what you're doing. If you want I can do a once over on a used one for you cheap.. get new springs and fully worked over. Again HOGUE grips are a huge suggestion as well.

[Tisket]

Have any of you guys ever purchased a gun for use by your wife/girlfriend? What did you get them? Or what would you get them if she wanted a gun.

But no suggestions that are pink please:

[Sean of the Thread]

A hammerless S&W revolver of the .38 special variety. Nothing to get snagged on... very safe... small .... light... cheap...and simple. Revolvers don't jam (well much less likely) and fit in her hand.

http://www.snubnose.info/docs/m640.htm

Now if she's a champ then I'd suggest the sig p232.

[Tisket]

I assume there are gun locks available to fit it? Or are gun locks standardized to fit all guns?

[Sean of the Thread]

There are all kinds of gun locks... but that's for storage not carrying. A locked or unloaded gun is just a club at best.

Trigger locks for storage are very common and there easy to find/fit/accommodate whatever model you want. It's usually a plug that basically fills the trigger hole and is operated by a key.

There are safe boxes you can have near the bed for example as well that will spring open after punching in a quick code and pop out your gun for that bang in the garage you just heard.

[Tisket]

My husband hunts so he does own a few rifles. He's got them locked in a gun safe because we have kids. He'll be travelling a bit this fall though and I think I want something nearer to hand and easier to handle than a rifle while he is gone. But have to figure out how it can be stored as safely as possible but still accessible. I like the idea of the locked safe box near the bed.

These gun vaults are nice but I sold mine since I sleep on the couch now. I dunno your financial situation but they're not pricey and you may even have a chance for an insurance break for using/having one.

Rifles will do you no good unless you got a bayonet honestly rofl.

If he's got a shotgun that's all you need... just cock the fucker and the noise will scare anyone nearby out of the county.

I get my concealed on the 9th of August. I doubt I'll carry all that much, unless I'm going into a rough looking apartment complex with work. Mostly for home defense and the occasional boar that trees me at the grove.

Tiny as hell if you're looking for a carry pistol... and you won't have to worry about it being uncomfortable/getting used to at only 9.4oz. MSRP is $330, can be had cheaper. Has about the same feel as a Walther PPK, which is to say, you can walk around going "Dun nuh DUN NUUH" spinning and drawing it.

[Sean of the Thread]

Yeah take the class and become familiar and proficient/confident with your weapon.

Next you're screwed on NY/Mass permits.

You would have to get a permit in each state. They do not reciprocate. Mass only honors it's own states permits. NY is a mother fucker for pistole permits.

Not sure where your residency is. Also important.

States that Honor Massachusetts's CCW Permit:
Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan*, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah

* Honors RESIDENTIAL Massachusetts permits only.

State CCW Permits that Massachusetts Honors:

Get what you pay for. And I hate rugers... they feel like plastic toys and shoot like one as well.


Walther PPK is nice however and the p232 is pretty close to it and my overall suggestion compared to that ruger.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

If you want a gun that will keep appreciating, get a Colt Revolver. I always liked the Colt Python's or a ruger Blackhawk.

So I'd have to relicense when I get to NY? Fuck...

Nice shiny turd.

Edit: it's not a bad pistol tbh but it's too flashy for my tastes.

[Fallen]

I would like to get a carry and conceal, but it is rather pointless as they do not allow firearms on post. Might as well just buy a shotgun and call it a day.

[Trouble]

The main reason I'd ever want a CC permit is for when I walk home late at night. The trick is, if I'm walking home late at night I've probably been out drinking which is a bad combo for guns. VA prohibits carrying by people who would be considered under the influence and prohibits carrying into a place that serves alcoholic beverages for consumption on-site (even restaurants), CC permit or no. So either way I'd be out of luck.

I'd have to take a bunch of classes anyway, since I haven't fired a weapon of any sort in like 15 years. I did like the idea of that 'snagless' gun linked in this thread.

I have a CC permit, but I usually don't carry because chances are I'll end up on campus, and it's illegal to have it there. It does rather defeat the purpose.

As for the classes, it took me $200, 8 hrs and 60 rounds to get the license - a chimp can do it, as long as the chimp doesn't have a criminal record. You only have to be able to hit a target 10-yards away "successfully," so you're not exact competing for a sharpshooter badge.

That was Michigan (fairly lax). Your state may vary.

Florida is even more lax. I linked the Gunshow I'm going to to get mine.. and it's 2 hours and probably like 20 rounds.

Apparently it's 8 hours, here.

[TheRunt]

Sorry about the late bump to the thread but I just ran across it.
My suggestions on a gun? I'm assuming handgun. That would depend on how experienced you are with them. Very I would say a .45acp yes I like the big holes. That or a decent 9mm. Not very? I would say that s&w mentioned earlier would be a good choice. Or any decent manufacture revolver. But I would try to find an police issue rated for +p+ rounds or 357 rather than 38. At least for self defense. That sig that has been posted is a nice gun but I would get it in the 9mm not the 357 sig. Just for one reason. Getting hold of ammo right now won't be a problem but in case of emergency. ie invasion(not home, country) major civil unrest etc... Go with a standard cartridge. And for a gun lock depending on the age of your children there is one out there I really like. No combination no keys. Its basically a shell casing with a rod that snaps into it. Its springloaded and takes a good amount of force to release. Not easy for a 8 or 9 or younger to undue but easy enough for and adult. Damn I can't remember the name of it. But most gun shops should have it I think. Its a bit better for a revolver but works very well for a semi-automatic. Basically you load the shell part of the lock in the gun and run the other part down the barrel. It locks into the shell. And to release it you put force onto the end sticking out of the barrel and pull the rod out. With a revolver you just point and shoot after. With a semi you have to rack the slide first. And no offense to the op just about anything other than the .380 except a .22 or .25 will be better. I would only carry a .380 if concealment was the utmost importance. Even then a k frame s&w is almost as concealable.

[Sean of the Thread]

Double action with one in the chamber. .357 sig auto is an expensive round but you get what you pay for. +p and +p+ were fine in my .357 sig 9mm sig with way over 1000 rounds on each.

I DID have upgraded springs however. You can score some cheap and easy.

.45 not really suggested. Very big and bulky for what you get and a .357 sig auto round WILL make anything dead fast.

A lot of the older .45's in automatic only chambered ball ammo as well.. not only slow as shit but no flesh chomping going on. Would keep a hollow point chambered and magazine was all ball. They're also bulky and obviously you have fewer rounds to put out especially for concealed carry.

Khar has a nice compact .45 as an heads up. Or sack up and get a HK USP :) Or just be a man and carry a Sig .357 auto.

AGAIN remember to get some hogue rubber grips... it's a huuuuuge difference. I suggest that for any gun that you're going to handle and not use as a show piece.

[AnticorRifling]

I don't care what you say I think my kimber 45 is sexy as hell.

[Sean of the Thread]

Nothing wrong with Kimber at all. I just don't carry .45 as a personal preference.

I had a COLT Gold Cup National Match not long ago that I sold out on. That gun was cursed.

[Parkbandit]

Springfield XD. I fucking love mine.

I just shot one of these at the range today... and after a year of looking for a new gun, this is the one I've decided on.

I'd recommend a Howlitzer. Nothing says Stay the hell out of my house as a Howlitzer.

[Androidpk]

I haven't shot since my pre-deployment training. May 2004. :(

[AestheticDeath]

There can't be that much money in it.. if you are on the up and up.

It can be decent depending on how you do it. My cousin is a cop, and he put in a gun shop with another cop. They are doing fairly well just selling guns. Though I guess they have the hookup ya know.

My friends father put in a gun range with a partner, which only has 4 lanes. They sell guns, ammo, accessories, and the concealed permit classes. As well as selling off all the spent rounds. They are doing very well from what I heard. The guy is talking about semi-retiring and closing his wrecker business. So it must bring in enough for the two owners and the workers to live on decently.

Drew, I just picked up a S&W MP .357 for my wife from Cabela's for Veteran's Day....they were giving military employee pricing, haven't shot it yet. I also bought a Benelli M4 shotgun for myself, what a compromise for the wife......

[Drew]

Cool, tell me how you like it. I think I'm going to hold off on buying one for a while, but still interested in it. Also the M4 is a cool shotty. I have a Berreta Teknys that I love but the M4 is a gun I'd really like to try out.

I've heard lots of good things about the M4. Let us know what you think.

How did you do this? Is there an Aug made in the USA? My understanding was if they weren't made in the US they weren't legal.

... Still waiting for Charles Daly to start offering the Tar-21. Hoping it will be under $1500.

First there is now :love:
http://www.steyrarms.com/nc/news/items/article/product-update-steyr-aug/

Also if they were imported prior to 1986 they are legal, after the AWB expired they could be imported as parts, and be assembled legally but they have to contain a certain amount of US made parts and be semi-auto (unless you happen to have a pre-1986 registered full auto trigger pack) to be in compliance with the law for possession by an average joe not military/LEO. This is how they can still import aks and such. The above rules apply to firearms that the BATFE has decided that don't serve a "sporting purpose". If they are considered to have a "sporting purpose" ie most pump and semi auto shotguns and hunting rifles, they can be imported and sold complete.

Where did you do that? The only state that I know of that has a lifetime license is Indiana. But its not a ccp, its a License To Carry Handgun no conceal needed. :tumble: At least that's what it says on mine. Sorry but I had to.

Did you do the state part on line or at the station? And how did you do the prints? I've heard that going through the optional 3rd party print company(can't remember the name) has gotten some very quick turnaround one guy got his in less than a week after he applied.

So my current residency is up in the air, I can either be officially located in MA or in CT. I'm looking to get my CC permit, am I better off officially moving to MA and getting a resident permit in MA, or getting my resident permit in CT? I would more than likely be purchasing, storing, and firing any guns in CT, but would prefer to be setup in as best a circumstance as possible (I recall something about MA being very strict about non-resident permits).

How do permits transfer if I moved back to CT (I eventually plan to).

[Sean of the Thread]

See if this helps you decide any.

Honestly as far as I can tell from a quick check, it's a toss up. Neither one honors any other permit other than their own, both are may issue states(although from the site I list below CT acts more like a shall issue), and both offer non-resident permits. As to how hard it is to get a resident or non resident in either state I honestly don't know. Here is a good site for the general laws of the various states.
http://www.handgunlaw.us/
For more detailed information about getting one in either state I'd google firearm forums for both states and check them out and ask questions. Contrary to popular belief gun owners are a friendly lot and generally will try to help.

As far as transferring permits, I don't think any state "transfers" them, some states if you have one already from another state that meets the requirements for theirs allows you to use it as proof that you have meet their requirements, but you still have to pay and go through all the paperwork.

[Celephais]

Using Sean's link it looks like being an MA resident would save me some money in renewing fees, as MA licenses are only good for 1 year non-resident vs 4 year resident (and MA is $100 fee).

That said it looks like I may just stick to getting my CT permit anyway.

Just added a .300 Savage (lever action) to my collection, shoots very smooth. Still deciding on which scope to mount on it.

I have a line on a Colt 1908 .32 Pocket Hammerless (Officer's Pistol) that I'm working on next. Its a nice piece to add to my collection, and shoots like a dream.

Then I'm going to add a .308.

Cheaper to buy a stock AR and decal it yourself woman. Hop on it!

Your mom hopped on it Antipants. oooooh oooooh. You like purple. ooooooh oooooh.

I did that tho. The 15 that I made is neon colors. I want a Hello Kitty one. A HELLO KITTY ONE.

BTW: I think I am buying another handgun. This time a glock 9mm with a laser sight. A friend of mine is thinking about selling it.

B) My purple savage is sexy shit and you know it.

3) MAKE A HELLO KITTY ONE. Only put Hello Kitty in a gas mask.

I concede that the purple savage is sexy. It is a very pretty, pretty pretty pretty color.

I'm thinking about picking one up myself, but I'm torn. I like the guy and I don't want to ream him on the price, but if I tell him what it's actually worth it would be out of my price range for a while.

He's got a S&W 686 lightly used that he said he'd sell it too me for $250-275.
2 1/2 barrel, magnaported with pacmar grips. And it's pre hilary hole.

[AnticorRifling]

I don't know or like him I'll buy it at that price!

This from a guy who took off a black stock and exchanged it with a pretty lavender one?

That's a really good price if it's in good shape. I've seen them go for $500+

[AnticorRifling]

I could always put the factory stock back on, you can't do anything to make it not a glock.

[Parkbandit]

I'm ok with a Glock. It takes almost no maintenance, it's accurate and the charcoal gray stock accents my bright blue tabard and my burnt orange riding mount perfectly.

I won't make blanket judgements about guns, short of them being unsafe to use. Sure I wouldn't carry a .22 as a protection gun, but it doesn't meant I wouldn't own one, as the ammo is cheap as hell.

If he's got a good deal coming his way, getting a 9mm glock is a cheap way to throw some lead downrange, I don't see the problem with it.

Nothing wrong with .22 as a fun gun or even hunting. I had a converted 10/22 with 30 round mags that was absolutely fun as hell to fire.

However Glock = Gay. This sums it up.

Be men and get a Sig.

[TheRunt]

That's a really good price if it's in good shape. I've seen them go for $500+

Yeah I know. Outside has a few scuffs but not many, lockup is tight, magnaport is actually magnaport and the action has been smoothed. Hell the ring around the cylinder is pretty light. The guy bought it about 10-15 years ago and it's mainly been a nightstand gun since then.

I told him I was looking at a .38 snubbie taurus for a bug and he told me he'd sell me it for about the same price. But I just can't do it too him.

[Celephais]

Coming from the guy without a bank account...
All depends on the situation, if I didn't have access to anything else, you're damn right I'd shoot a pink glock.

TheRunt, offer him what you can afford, and if you still feel bad about it just give him more money later. If you're going to put it to good use, you shouldn't feel bad.

[Sean of the Thread]

Hey I have a bank account. It just has the requisite $5 in the savings to keep it open is all.

Bank accounts are moot in this conversation anyways.

Not a bad idea. I'm probably going to let him know what it's worth and see what he says. I'm sure he'll take payments he wasn't looking to sell, but he doesn't use it so...

Purchased a new pistol for the wife to carry concealed and for home defense, nothing says I :love: you more. The ambidextrous manual safety lever is what sells me on Beretta handguns.

Recently picked up a Springfield XD .40cal with a 4 inch barrel for in the house... the wife is learning on it. I've only shot about 200 rounds though it but I'm very pleased. So, I second Daniel's suggestion at picking one up especially when comparing it to the one i carried deployed, a Beretta 9mm (m9) and the one I currently carry while working, a Sig P228 9mm (m11)

I've got a pair of the full size Px4 Storms but my "safeties" just take the pistols from single to double action (IE decock the hammer). Fun pistols for plinking actually had them out yesterday shooting clays at 60 yards.

Got new grips on the kimber .45 and taurus .45 they are sexy.

Yeah I forget that not all Safety levers on Berettas are created equal!

This is my personal carry for work and around town.

The weight is a big factor for me, and the slim profile. It tucks well into a pair of work boots with an ankle holster that I found at a local Military and Police supply shop.

Actually "tricking out" your 1911 comes in handy on the range when everyone is shooting a dime sized pattern and your throwing out a baseball sized one (beer gets expensive).

Here's the kimber with the new grips, pic doesn't do it justice but it's what I had on my phone. If I remember I'll get a side by side of it and the taurus:
