Thank you for your detailed answer Bullseye. I have the older model so no slide stop for me, that's OK though.

I recently received a ruger standard 22 from a friend for free and I was wondering if a pac lite upper would work on this model. Even if it would fit would it be worth it? The standard model doesn't have a slide stop for the final shot, would a pac lite change that?

Thanks for all the great replies everybody. I will definitely like look into the pistol lessons. I spent the day at the range (got rained on for hours) and humbled myself with a few drills I found online. I still might have to get a revolver/lever combo or a remington 870 or a...

Hmm I hadn't considered that. I'm sure I could use some instruction. It might be strange but I get nervous and tense when receiving professional lessons and that's just when I take golf lessons. Something about having a professional watching me makes makes me self conscious :|

I have been shooting my carry gun (HK p30) weekly at my buddies range along with my marlin xt 22 and don't get me wrong I have a lot of fun doing drills and plinking. But I'm looking for a general plinker that might also serve a purpose. There are so many options! 1911s pocket pistols maybe a...

As has been stated in multiple posts there are numerous advantages and disadvantages for purse carry. The two advantages that were the deciding factors for my girlfriend were 1 she can carry a full size pistol that she is comfortable with and 2 her purse goes with her no matter where she goes...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I guess I will really just have to "get out there" and make it happen.

Old Dog that is really cool that you teach your daughters friends. I'm in the opposite situation my girlfriends parents are from new York and are very anti gun...

Volusia gun and hunt club is very close to where I live so I will check into that. I must admit I'm a little shy when it comes to meeting new people. That's why I was hoping to "convert" a few people lol

I definitely see your point fdf. I want to be as safe as possible while out at the range. I want to focus more on co workers and other "fence sitters". Like I said I'm my original post I'm new to shooting and I was a so called fence sitter only a couple of months ago. I would like to get...

Thanks Ranger, I'm a younger guy (23) and I don't see all that many people my age out where I normally go (hot shots) Daytona Beach. Haha it doesnt seem like people my age don't really shoot or play golf for that matter I try to get younger people into golf, tennis, shooting and even driving...

I'm new to the world of guns and gun ownership so I wanted to learn how some of you met your "range buddies". Not many of my friends are into shooting and I don't believe a single one of them owns a gun. My step dad is into doing idpa matches but he works out of town most of the time. I don't...

If you have not tried the HK p30s you should give it a shot. Personally I love the grip and I like having the option to carry cocked and locked or sa/da. Being a lefty I appreciate the fully ambi controls

It is hard to obtain things like handgrenades because millions of people don't already have them in their closets. If guns were outlawed a black market would form out of the hundreds of millions of firearms that people already have.

I don't have a ton of firearms experience but I just recently purchased my first handgun. I looked at tons of reviews and shadowed a lot of forums before I made my choice. I found the HK p30s fit my hand better than any other gun I have handled. The p30 is on the expensive side but I look at...
