What handgun do you use?

I'm thinkin about getting a handgun. I've been interested at the H & K USP compact .40, since it's sleek, German made, and fits nicely in my hand. It's a bit big, though, for concealment which I intend to use it for. I will get a concealed weapons permit in a few weeks. Here in Nevada, you can carry guns without a liscense as long as it's showing. But I want it concealed. I was also interested in the Sig P229, but it felt awkward in my hand, a bit too big. What do you guys use? And how do you rate your gun in terms of efficiency and practicality?

Only in the US.....mmmmmm I feel safe.......

If you felt the 229 was akward,
try the sigp228.
Its a little smaller & better designed.
One of my personal favs.

So you have a Sig, Nick. Is the P228 a 40 caliber handgun? My friend showed me his 229 and it was pretty nice and has the capability of using not only .40 but 9mm and .357, with different barrels of course. I wonder how much these guns cost.

we got a neogeo freak & also a gun freak?
what next? Santa making luv with Rudolf?

go shot yourself on da head. dont bother mention abt gun here.

How do you get that permit? Anyway, I suggest a Glock 26 or 27 depending on the stopping power you desire. The 26, which I own, has NO stopping power. The 27 uses a .40 cal which will put your opponent against a wall. Both are subcompact and conceal VERY nice!

Well, I personally prefer Heckler & Koch. The USP-40 Compact is a good choice, but if the Compact seems too large, there is a second stage Compact that is even smaller, unless they axed the manufacture of it. I like the USP series for the design, the ambidextrous clip-release, the fact that you can switch the Safety from one side to the other if you are a SouthPaw, and the mounting rails for accessories. Plus, it is Heckler & Koch, and I have never had any problems with any of their firearms that I own.

Sigs, on the other hand. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> Well, let us just say there is a reason the FBI quit issuing them to their agents and ordered several thousand Glocks. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Basically, it comes down to personal choice. In Alaska, to get a CCL, you have to take a course by a certified instructor, and you qualify with the largest calibre you can, and are licensed to carry a concealed handgun of that calibre or any that are smaller. Odd, I know. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Anyway, the places that give the class have firearms for people to practice with and use during the course of the class so people get a chance to try and find one that fits their hands, as well as their style of shooting. I would recommend signing up for such a class if you can find one, if only to get a chance to try several different pistols. Some states have shooting ranges where you can rent and shoot various pistols, as well.

For the compact Glocks, I like the Glock 29 or the Glock 30. You want stopping power, .45 ACP or 10mm will give it to you. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> .40S&W is good too, though. If you wanted a Glock in 9mm that was compact, I would get a Glock 19.

Why did the FBI ditch the Sigs, Bio?

I use a nine, 38, .357. I also got an M-11, sawed off, 12 guage, and an SK-47

The FBI ditched the SIGs because, and I quote "You find more lemons in a batch of one-hundred SIGs that you find on a used car lot full of YUGOs." <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

this is an illegal conversation! did u realize there a fuckin heaps of kiddies read this shit?!

all of u should be fuckin arrested!! <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0">

This conversation it one-hundred per cent legal, Wolferaizer. There is nothing wrong with discussing firearms. Or owning them, at least where I live.

Bio, what do you think of my Model 26? Your opinion, I know you know WAY more than I do!

I am the last person who needs a handgun. Being in Texas, I would love to get a consealed license, but sooo many people would be dead within the first hour (road rage like a bitch).

maybe im lost, or am i? is this a neogeo forum? comparing games is cool but gun aint. u r a mod, u should know your roles. im not saying or ordering u what to do, it just logic & sense.

if u want to discuss your firearms, go to some gun club forum or something. gun bring disaster. it meant to hurt ppl. it is evil. <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0">

As a fellow Glock owner, here is a site you might be interested in: http://www.topglock.com

They test accessories that are available for Glocks, rate them, and sell the best ones through their site.

My buddy has two 15 round clips, they stick out of the bottom of my gun <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

I have 10 round mags

Run those rounds by me again? Man Killers?

I'm sure you have some Black Talons at your house <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Guns are not evil, Wolferaizer, they are inanimate objects, with no evil or good inherent in them. They are tools, just like knives, screwdrivers, etc. I learned how to shoot when I was four years old. Many of my friends did the same. We have not gone on shooting rampages, nor used them to hold up banks. Also, we are posting in the Unrelated Topics sections, so it is fair game. If you do not like it, do not read the thread.

The rounds are called Hydra-Shocks (Shock may be spelled Shok, I always forget when a company uses cutesy spelling for marketing purposes). They are like a standard hollow-point, except there is a rod in the center, which helps maintain the velocity of the round, and drags the expanded round the rest of the way through the target, or at least endeavours to. We refer to it as "The tow-truck of death." Most hollow-points have a problem in that they lose velocity once they expand, and do not actually exit the target. A good test is to fire rounds at bundles of wet-down newspapers, so you can hopefully recover some rounds and see how they have performed.

4 yrs old? nice education u got there. then again u from alaska. of course u need to kill some polar bear...

yeah i agree with u abt tool of death. in fact u can even kill some1 with a banana! but gun definetly not a screwdriver, hammer or whatever. both can cause injury, but gun 10000 times more deadly in any range. and deadly in da wrong hand. i understand not all ppl going out & kill some1. but to hav a gun, its like an accident waiting to happen.

say, what happen if u got a kid, & somehow he find your gun & play around with it. dont u feel scare? alot of sad story i heard abt ppl getting shot in their own home coz they just found da gun (which is hidden) & play around with it! <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0">

of course its up to u what u publish/say. i cannot stop your freedom posting here. i just dont like da way u ppl posting with such content. aint my bussiness. but i just would like to remind u ppl about da danger of firearms & of course u realize, there are minors here.

sorry for bumpin & disagreeing with u guys. i thought u guys were cool.... i guess iam in da wrong place again. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">
