    Well shucks. Looks like my options are expanding then.

    Talk me into a handgun.

    I'm not gonna lie; I love the 1911. I really do. And the ergonomics on it are very comfy for my big ham hands. And my wife really likes shooting .45, which blows my mind, but I certainly don't complain. And she isn't 200 pounds, either... but that's neither here nor there. My only catch with the...

    So what's the general consensus on the FN Five-seveN?

    Ben86; In response to the disarm scenario, it comes down to reflexes. I've only been accosted "on the street" twice, and it hasn't happened since the Coast Guard saw fit to move me away from D.C. But in a boarding scenario, which is my typical law enforcement, I've always been able to take...

    Talk me into a handgun.

    Military discounts I looked at the sig military price list. Out freakin standing. Looks like I will be going with a sig; now I just need to figure out which one.

    Talk me into a handgun.

    Max amount I'm willing to spend? I'd prefer not to exceed 800. But if it's something thats... AWESOME... I'd probably go higher. But I am cheap, so if I could get a wilson combat 1911 for about 25$, that would be just about right.

    Talk me into a handgun.

    I guess I was disregarding the p229 because of the dak trigger. Any way to put a 1911 style trigger in the 229?

    Talk me into a handgun.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention; I own 5 rifles (3 bolt and 2 semiauto), and I shoot handguns often. But this would be my only handgun...so far.

    Talk me into a handgun.

    Okay, here's the deal; I will soon be in the market for a handgun. I've shot plenty of different models, and I own quite a few rifles. I'm not terribly interested in using my handgun for self defense, except possibly as a hiking gun. I am in the military, so I don't have a ridiculous amount of...

    So what's the general consensus on the FN Five-seveN?

    FWIW... General Consensus is a redundancy. Consensus means the general opinion, so general general opinion. Now that the english teacher bit is done... I love the 5.7. I've been thinking about buying one. Small backstory; I'm in the Coast Guard, and I shoot Expert (145-150 points out of 150)...

    Best choice for home defense?

    My $.02... 20 guage is an excellent choice for HD, and you can shoot skeet (snicker). Me, I use a tomahawk for home defense. Only had to brandish it once, and never had to fire it at home :)
