    just your typical guy with a ccw

    the problem I've found in trying to talk to people who are like that is that you cannot win by wining more debate points with them, as with almost any topic that matters to people. I find that if you could sit down with them one on one, say over lunch or coffee and explain the reason why you are...

    Dressing for Concealment

    I just started to carry not too long ago and from my limited experience I can say that it really depends on your body type. I'm a pretty fit person 5'9 180 lbs mostly muscle so I can wear untucked M/L polo shirts or a short sleeve button down shirt and carry IWB at 3 or 4 o'clock no problem. I...

    Buying a new glock

    yea bkjeffrey that's how I feel, I don't want to trouble the guy to buy me a gun, especially if there are legal ramifications attached to it. And rd2007, thanks for the information, I didn't know that about GSSF and their LEO discount pricing for members at all, I'll call them and ask if that's...

    Buying a new glock

    thanks for the replies guys. So bkjeffrey, no I am no LE or Military, I wish I was though, there's a GT distributors in Austin that sells new glocks for 398, but it's only for LE I think. I know a Marshal here in town, but I'm not that close with him and don't know if it'll be too much to ask...

    Buying a new glock

    cool, I haven't thought about gunbroker. Forgive me but I don't have a lot of experience in the field, I assume you are talking about gunbroker.com? And how do I go about finding a local seller there?

    Buying a new glock

    I actually did not know that, I've never bought a gun online before. Is the transfer fee different from the FFL transfer fee? Or is that what you are talking about? I was assuming online is cheaper because no taxes on an already cheaper gun.

    Buying a new glock

    Hey everyone, thanks to all of your inputs, I decided that my next, and probably last gun for a while will be a glock 19, it will be my concealed carry gun. However, I wanted to get your opinion on where I should purchase it. I am currently in Austin, TX, the cheapest price I've found on a...

    Why does't the U.S. Special forces/Navy Seals

    one of my friend that was in the force recon carried a 1911 in combat. But when he came back home and wanted to buy a new gun for everyday carry he bought a glock 19. Not saying one is better than the other, but he just said that the .45 caliber had more stopping power and he and his team wanted...

    It's happening! I'm looking to buy another gun

    thanks for the suggestions guys. Right now I am leaning towards CZ or XD. I do have a question about these though, I see that they both have a pretty large magazine capacity, I was looking at the CZ duty 9mm, I see that Buds have them for 429 which means I can get them for probably cheaper. But...

    It's happening! I'm looking to buy another gun

    I forgot to mention that CZ duty is also on my list of guns that I'm interested in. My main concern is its reliability, conceal-ability, and if it will be fun to shoot.

    It's happening! I'm looking to buy another gun

    thanks for the suggestions so far. This is my next question I since Blinken brought up the issue of CCW. I'm on a limited budget so I wanted to get a gun that I can both carry and go to the range with. How hard is it to conceal a p250 or a gun that size? I am 5'9, 180lbs athletic build and I...

    It's happening! I'm looking to buy another gun

    Hello all, I am pretty sure that when I joined the forums I told myself that I'd buy one handgun this year and that's it. Well, it seems like I am not strong enough to hold out on another gun. So now I am on the market for another gun and I wanted to get yall's opinions and suggestions before I...

    Holster for Ruger p95

    Hey guys, thanks to all of your inputs I recently purchased a Ruger P95, I gotta say I like the gun a lot so far. It is a little bulky as all of you have told me, but it is not overly uncomfortable and I am in the process of using it as a ccw. I bought a basic uncle mike's IWB holster for it...

    Have you ever used your sidearm in self defense?

    About four years ago I was riding in the car with my dad in a pretty safe city (Addison, TX), we were about three blocks from home when a car behind us cut into oncoming traffic passed us going about 60 in a 40 and almost hit us as it swerved into our lane. My dad honked his horn and both cars...

    Compact for concealed carry help (Newb)

    thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it. This would be a carry gun, guess the first gun that I purchased, too. I have a revolver that my family gifted me but I don't plan on carrying it. I wanted something inexpensive and reliable, so far the P95 is it, I've gone to a few gun stores and...

    Compact for concealed carry help (Newb)

    I haven't gone to McBrides, the reason is that almost everything I've read about them indicate that they are more expensive and usually have rude customer service. I've been going to Texguns, that's their price. I called Heritage firearms and found out I could buy a P95 for 299 over there...

    Compact for concealed carry help (Newb)

    thanks guys, I went to the gun store and checked out both the sigma and the p95, I gotta say I am more comfortable with the P95, even though S&W has a heck of deal for the sigma, I just do not like the trigger on it at all, way too heavy for me. I will test fire the P95 before I make my final...

    Compact for concealed carry help (Newb)

    thanks gearjammer, this is my question about the sigma, I looked it up online and it says it's a DA with a 9.2 lb trigger pull, not sure if I'd like that but I'll test it out, I thought more about the DA/SA issue and decided that it would be okay if it was DAO or SAO, I don't think I'll have...

    Compact for concealed carry help (Newb)

    thanks so much for your help so far. I have a few more questions based on what everyone said. Which guns should I definitely avoid? Hi point, what about llama? I've heard very mixed reviews on them and most of them seems bad. I was actually looking at a CZ at the local gun shop the other day and...
