If he wants a .45 after hearing that ammunition is expensive then let him get one. I just had a friend buy her first gun which was a .45 and she loves it. The ammunition might be expensive but overall it's a good caliber and the recoil is certainly manageable. Never try to steer a person's...

Wow people are paying insane prices for primers alone. Heck it would be cheaper to buy the ammunition at those prices after you consider bullets, brass, and powder.

I know one guy in my city (about a mile from me) who has a couple ARs in stock. He also have several stripped lowers. There is a guy in town here who actually produced AR lowers and sells them through the mentioned gun store. I picked one of the lowers up two days ago for a good price. The...

I own one and personally I love it. It's certainly a unique design and is the only revolver as far as I know that can use a silencer (when using 7.62 Nagant ammunition). It's a fun little plinker. The only downside is the price and quality of ammunition available for it. I'm still looking...

In general I recommend people get something akin to a j-frame revolver. Revolvers aren't going to fail to work at a critical moment. If a round doesn't fire you just pull the trigger again. And it's been shown in average gun fights usually only one or two bullets get fired. If a person is...

I won't have them on any gun that I carry with me. But if it's a gun I just have for shooting then I'm willing to get a gun with one if there is no other option.

It's a classic case of supply and demand. We have a lot of new gun owners and many of them bought the cheap but reliable Mosin Nagant. That means you are competing with a lot of people who want the same ammunition. Since the demand is up the prices have gone up. The prices will hopefully...

Wow that's a small one. Looks nice, and is perfectly sized for a pocket gun.

I carry one with me every day and love the gun. Mine is the .45 compact which is the same as the service model but with a shorter handle. Anyways I'll shoot a bullet point of what I like about it. - No manual safety to be flipped, so when I pull it out it's ready to go. It does have a...

I'd say go for a 1911 or an XD. I say the 1911 because it's the base .45 which all others are generally judged against. The design is ancient but still works great. They are reliable, customizable, and a ton of fun to shoot. You can also get one for a reasonable price. You also have a lot...

I'll also throw my vote in for the XD. Don't get me wrong both the HK guns and the XD series are great guns but the XD costs a whole lot less. This would be fine in my book but I don't see any features on the HK guns that make them worth more money, especially hundreds more.

Take a look at the Springfield XDs. They have three sizes which are service, compact, and sub-compact. I carry a compact .45 every day. It's a slightly on the large size but still concealable. The sub-compacts are small enough to be easily concealed and come in 9mm and .40 S&W.

I think it depends on where you are to how society is treating guns and gun owners. During college I was around a seemingly infinite number of anti-gunners. Just mentioning that I was a gun owner (which I always proudly state) was enough to set people off. Granted most of these people were...

I've done impulse buys on guns before. In fact last week I went to my usual gun store without any intention of buying a gun. Out of chance he had just got in a Springfield 1911 which I've been eyeing for a while. I walked out with it. There was no real stop to think about it beyond the...

Well of course it's expensive it's a sniper rifle! Seriously the last gun show I was at I heard a sales lady tell a group of mall ninjas looking at one that the PS90 was a sniper rifle. But in all seriousness the gun is kind of a niche weapon. It first a hard to get and expensive round as...
