In the original post I stated that function and reliability are primary concerns too. This thread was intended to find the triple threat gun (reliability, function, and "cool"). I see no reason why a gun can't have all three, and also see no correlation between gun choice and practice time. I...

I like where your head is at, that's a solid choice. Unfortunately it doesn't quite fit my budget or size needs. Very interesting gun though, I'm intrigued by it's performance.

I always see 4 or 5 of these on the wall at either of the 2 Gander Mtns that are near me. I feel like they are usually a little pricey on them there though.

My relatively low gun budget has always made me over-analyze any gun related purchase to make sure it's the best value and also has multiple practical uses... but for some reason I just REALLY like this gun and am seriously considering putting off a new CC pistol for a few weeks to purchase it...

I found a used Saiga .410 in excellent condition at a very reasonable price at a LGS yesterday, so the question is what practical use would this gun have? I guess my thought is that it is kind of like having a "tactical" .22, where it is more of a training aid/fun plinker than anything else...

Just as the title states, I'm wondering if there are any good websites for used/rare/discontinued handgun models? I have a lot of down time in front of a computer at work, and frequently find myself browsing for gun deals, but have been having a very hard time finding certain brands/models for...

It would be a very sad day to see federal restriction on magazine capacity. It amazes every time it happens (seemingly more and more frequently) how supposedly "educated leaders" can pass laws that are based on so little logic. I started to become quite convinced that people, in general, are idiots.

I seem to always end up watching some sort of war/action/crime drama type of movie when I break out the cleaning kit. I guess tinkering with my guns puts me in the mood to see some firearms in action or something.

This is almost identical to how things went in my house. I had very little "gun time" with my dad until I was out of high school, besides one afternoon of squirrel hunting and a couple of woodchuck exterminations. Once I showed an interest in the contents of his gun safe and started teaching...

I could understand if I had extra money buying multiples for collecting purposes, cool factor, etc. I actually plan on it one day. However, my current low incoming status forces me to be very careful about how my money is spent. This means that I have to diversify as much as possible when it...

To keep it short, his basic point was that if the gunman in Arizona would have only had a 10 round magazine, less people would have been hurt before he was taken down during his reload. His second point was: In what scenario does the average citizen really need to carry more then 10 rounds in a...

I only currently own 2 handguns, but between a S&W Model 64 and my FNP-9, the FNP-9 wins by a hair.

The closest indoor range to me is a pay per half hour range, so I do try to slow down and focus on fundamentals while still using my time efficiently. I usually have three or four mags pre-loaded to capacity (16 rounds per mag in my FNP, and several speedloaders set up for my S&W Model 60) so...

Thanks for the responses, but here is another question: I was still in high school when the '94 AWB expired in 2004, so I'm not very informed on how it all went down. Was there a vote to extend it, and if so why did it not pass?

Can someone give me a walkthrough of both sides of the magazine capacity laws? A recent discussion with my brother about the incident in Arizona made me realize that I don't really know much about this topic, and I would like to be prepared the next time it comes up. So, if someone could explain...

I only have limited experience, but so far mine has been a Kel-Tec P11. I borrowed a friend of mine's and it was an all around ugly experience. The fit/finish was terrible, several malfunctions, poor accuracy, and no matter how I adjusted my grip it kept wearing a rough spot into my hand...

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I really do appreciate it. I read a few responses questioning why I need to show off something thats meant to be concealed.. and in all honesty it won't happen very much. One person nailed it on the head when the said "pride of ownership". Most of the people in...

I will soon be a proud CPL holder, and to celebrate this fact I've decided that I need a handgun that is more suitable for CC than my only semi-auto, an FNP-9. I have been reading a lot of articles, visiting LGSs, and picking the brains of anybody I know that will listen. A lot of the standard...

Some people may ask "Why?". I simply ask "Why not?".

I didn't realize that they had updated the USP .45... the newer one looks very slick. I wouldn't call either one of these "compact" though.
