Maybe I should have asked: Glock or 1911?

Hello everyone! Its me, the OP! First, let me thank everyone for the responses - I certainly got some good info. Second, I think this may be getting a bit out of hand. I never meant to start WWIII here, I just wasn't sure if one had any advantages over the other. From what I've read...

Just a quick note to say thanks to everyone for their responses. Couple of quick follow up questions: Would the Hornady LeveRevolution ammo make the .35 suitable for big game (elk/moose) @ 200 - 250 yds? If not, what would be the effective range? I actually have the .35 up for sale/trade...

So will you be rocking an AR 15 or running it?

Actually I was leaning more toward the 30-06 but wanted more input before I made my decision. I may trade my .35 in on the 30-06 just to save some funds (times being what they are) The biggest advantages for the 30-06 are the versatility and abundance of the ammo

Like being punched in the face - so basically it's like going to work?

No way they were mall ninjas - if they had been you wouldn't have known it until it was too late. Plus, no true mall ninja would give himself away so easily, let alone 3 of 'em

Most likely moose or elk since I've never hunted either, plus neither of them are in my area. From what you guys are telling me it sounds like the 30-06 may be the way to go. My concern is that I get something that is too expensive to shoot and only sees very limited use. In my neck of...

So is the 300 win mag overkill? Is there any distance advantage to be gained or is it negligible?

OK here's the deal: I'm looking at getting either a 300 win mag or a 30-06 and not sure which would be better. For my 40th, my wife is sending me on a hunting trip. I don't turn 40 till 2011 but would like to plan ahead. Here's the problem: the only rifle I have at the moment is a...

The one consistent thing that I notice at the range is a young couple with the guy (who's obviously new to shooting/firearms) instructing the girl. I make it a point to approach these folks and strike up a conversation when there's a break. This way I can offer help to someone who obviously...

What dubious past? Never heard of them being anything but reliable. Never owned one but several friends have and they've never had any problem with them. Didn't know there was an issue. Was there a recall or something?

:D ^

Never had a problem with a Glock. Never had a problem with a Taurus, Smith and Wesson, or XD either.

OK, I'm not going to jump in the 9mm vs. debate, but I will share with you why I carry a 9mm most of the time: 1. I shoot the 9mm well. I've shot everything from a .22 to a 454 Cassul and I tend to shoot the 9mm the best. I can certainly shoot other calibers well, but I've found that the 9mm...

This is something I wanted to share with you, as it gives a different perspective on "random" crimes. Several years ago, I was taking my CCW class. The class was taught by a retired NYC/NJ detective who now works in the personal security field. One of the subjects that came up was "random...

I had the same problem with my Glock 21, it was just physically too big for my hand. I could shoot it, but shot other guns better. If the Kimber fits your hand better, and you shoot better with it, get one.

Seems like that's the new trend...use the consumer as beta testers

Oldnoob, did you have any problems with functionality?

Just wondering what your experiences were with these pistols...I've read some less than favorable reviews about them when they first came out (FTF, FTE, etc), but didn't know if they had fixed these issues or not. I know you can find something negative about any firearm; so I'm taking some...
