    9mm primary?

    MolleMan, $300 is a pretty low price limit if you'd like a new 9mm, and it's really narrowing down your options, can you bump it up a little higher? If not, a gun like a 709 does make it an excellent choice, and would also be good for IWB carry, where thinness is good, and in the...

    What 9mm pistol to just shoot and shoot?

    All are double stack, SA/DA, hammer fired, de-cockers, which makes for a much more interesting gun to handle and shoot, in my opinion. Listed in no particular order: CZ 75 B (or BD): (a classic) Beretta 92FS: (another classic) Stoeger Cougar 8000F: (A Beretta Cougar, but with...

    Colt Python: Best .357Mag ever?

    I ownd a Python or many years, and I've did some shooting with a GP100. The Python is a nice gun, but given the choice, even for equal money, I'd pick the GP100.

    Why does the H&K P7 have such a strong following?

    There are many pistols that work as well or better than the P7. But one thing they have that other don't, is their uniqueness. They are a bit odd - the gas delayed blow back action, the grip-cock design, ect. No other gun shares their design features. They are "different", and that is...

    Shot 7 times with 9mm and lived to tell story

    Yes you are. That's a good story, and no doubt there is some fact contained within it, but by the time the story reached you it had gathered some second and third hand "spin". ie- it wasn't your own eye witness account, so it falls into the "anecdotal" category, which makes it something...

    Is there any reason I shouldn't get a GP100?

    Here's another NO vote. It's one of the best revolvers ever made, and seems to fit your criteria to a Tee.

    need advice on a gun choice

    Take a look at the CZ P-06. It's the .40 cal version of CZ's mid-sized aluminum framed P-01. SA/DA, De-cocker. 10+1 capacity.

    Snubby for big hands (help me)

    ms6852 Quote: But consider this if you have already been held up 3 times and lived, sounds like you should leave it alone. It looks like more than one person is always chasing you, you pull out a 5 or 6 shot revolver and you are untrained, your gonna get yourself killed. At this point the...

    Walther PPK or Sig P232?

    BLC, In my opinion both the PPK and P232 are a bit heavy for pocket carry. For pocket carry I'd suggest going as light as possible - something like a Ruger LCP or Kel Tec P3AT. But if you're set on getting a .380 a sa/da, de-cocker, in the PPK size range, I'd suggest taking a look at the...

    Which would you buy?

    hatchetbearer, The way I wrote that was kind of misleading. I believe that the Kadet .22 kit can be used in several different CZ's, including the SP-01.

    Which Kydex reinforced dual layer leather daily wear belt?

    Take a look a the Galco "Special Agent" belt. Not only does it work well as a gun belt, but I was surprised to learn that it's actually the most comfortable belt I own, regardless of purpose.

    Snubby for big hands (help me)

    Big Tom, Most of the Smith & Wesson J frame snubbies come with the small grip that most of us can only get two fingers on. But for about $35, you can get an S&W OEM full-size J frame grip, and it makes a big difference. I installed one my 340, and it's now easy to get a full three finger...

    Kel-Tec PMR-30. What do you think?

    I think it should be a pretty cool gun, and I'm glad to see something so completely unique hit the market. I just wish there was a way they could have introduced a sister gun a the same time, chambered in 22lr. I'd be more likely to purchase a .22lr semi auto that holds 30+1. I'll still...

    Will a .380 pocket pistol really solve all my problems?

    Will a .380 pocket gun solve all your problems? It won't put a new roof on your house. It won't fix your lactose intolerance problem. It won't make you more "regular". But from my own experience, yes, an LCP will allow you to carry even when a slightly bigger gun is still too much to...

    what do you carry

    Although I'm not a revolver enthusiast in general, for carry / self-defense I feel better with my only revolver. A DAO snubbie. Primary carry: Smith & Wesson 340 M&P, (IWB) And since I'm a semi auto enthusiast by nature, although no 100% confident in them for single-gun CC, I still...

    Which would you buy?

    hatchetbearer, Both the SP-01 adn SP01 Tactical are steel framed guns. They aren't light weights. Weight is around 41 oz. You said it would be mostly a range gun, so I figured the extra weight wouldn't matter, and could actually be a plus for all day shooting comfort. I suggested the...

    Would you use someone elses re loads?

    Would you use someone elses re loads? No, I wouldn't. It's not worth holding your breath on every shot, wondering whether this is the round when everything goes ka-blewy. As a previous poster said - error on the side of caution.
