I got this a few years back, not the most expensive out there, but geez, it eats it up so fast and easy. 1-2 inch holes takes seconds, zero work for the operator. I had to run a cable down through a slab (1st floor to Ground floor), 1 inch hole from memory, it took about 1 or 2 minutes from...

I've been a locksmith for 16 years and would recommend something similar to Dyna-Bolts 12mm. Fast, easy and secure. I'd be more afraid of the tiles cracking as the safe squeezes down tight. Whichever fixing method you choose would be secure, some slightly better than others. You could always...

No preference as I am so new to it all, I like the "look of" service pistol and metallic silhouette. Being so new I haven't into IPSC, but it doesn't mean I won't prefer that either. I don't believe there are club restrictions on calibre. Still figuring out what I like. I read in Handgun...

Thanks for all the info! much appreciated, I learnt today that I don't have to limit myself to a .22, I misread the pages of red tape and licence info. I cant get any pistols in the first 6 months, but after that I can get 2 of: Centrefire up to .38 Rimfire up to .22 Air Pistol up to .177...

Thanks for all the info guys. Much appreciated.

Hey guys, Im pretty new to firearms/pistols and I know there is ALOT of info online about pistol safety, but I thought I could ask you directly. What are some of your "golden rules" regarding general pistol safety? Thank you.

Thanks for info and experiences guys. What's the main difference between a 5" barrel vs a 7" barrel? Accuracy?

The Buckmarks seem pretty popular also... Is it important to purchase a pistol with optional future attachments? I notice ALOT of newer pistol can have 1001 possible combinations (grips, scope, etc)?

Ya'know we can apply to obtain a firearm for sport, recreational hunting, vermin control, primary production, pest control, rural property, security industry, animal welfare, collecting, etc. Just not self defense. Isn't self defense a popular reason for obtaining a firearm in the US? A...

Yep, poor me.

Thanks for the link, I'll definately have a read. As far as me knowing what's available, I don't know, as far as I can tell I can only get a .22 that fires no more than 5 rounds. After 6 months of a probationary license i can get 2 CF or 2 RF but not a combination of both. I'm still reading...

A vacation sounds good to me! The only downside is I could probably buy 6 or 7 pistols for the same cost, hehe. Probably couldnt keep them due to laws, though... The 41 does look heavy, but I guess I need to try some at a range. No point in buying a particular pistol if it feels terrible to...

Thank you all for your info, I have a few months before I can proceed to obtaining a firearm, but I am sure all the information and models mentioned in this topic will help me choose wisely. The S&W41 seems attractive at the moment as : I hear nothing but good things about its accuracy, it's...
