If I had some need to travel to places where I though I needed to carry, then S&W Shield 9 mm, remainder in ammo for both guns. edit: Seems if I'm 'starting over', than that would mean I have no CCW license and would have to get one, with all the courses filled out to January, plus the cost of...

I have between 2-10 for my firearms. I don't shoot all that often and don't participate in shooting events where I drop a magazine onto hard dirt or rocks. Most self defense scenarios are resolved in "less than 5 rounds", so I'm not sure why I need dozens for each firearm. Given how people keep...

I have shot my nephew's SCCY, don't know if its the 1 or 2. The trigger was absolutely terrible with a long mushy pull. I start to look at the gun wondering if will actually shoot and it suddenly fires. The pull is so hard the edge of the trigger hurt the pad of my trigger finger. No SCCY is...

I second all the motions to not mix 12 ga and 20 ga for home defense. If you need a lighter recoil gun, and especially being completely new to guns, get a 22 LR rifle. It doesn't hit as hard as a shotgun for sure, but most people hit with 22 LR self defense rounds will decide to be elsewhere...

The OP already owns the HK 91, and using a firearm for home defense is pretty rare, even right now with the riots. Having four to six months living expenses in the savings is also good home defense- keeps the bank or landlord at bay. You miss enough payments, eventually the sheriff comes...

Thanks for all the replies. I understand buy once, cry once, but, still, I won't be getting a Remington 1100 Competition ($1150 about). Some stores have Remington 1100 Competitions for $499, but they don't have the adjustable stock. Leaning towards a Remington 870 Trap gun, but will take my...

I'm thinking of getting a shotgun with which to shoot trap. Points to consider: 1. First shotgun, hopefully only shotgun. Running out of room in security cabinet. 2. Want American made and not super expensive, so near as I can tell, Remington and Mossberg are only options. 3. Looking at 28" to...

A PCC seems practical as a home self defense weapon, especially for a single gun family. A few years ago a woman in Detroit chased off three invaders using her Hi-Point PCC. Easy to carry, hopefully lighter in weight, cheaper to practice with. OTOH, carbines are supposed to be lightweight and...

+1 to going to a range that allows you to rent pistols and finding one you like. I recommend the HK VP9 or Glock 19. The Sig P226 is really nice too, but you'll be hard pressed to find a new one for less than $700. (You could get a police trade-in 40 S&W for low cost I believe. I have been...

I am right handed but left eye dominant. When shooting with iron sights, I consistently see the sights only through the upper half of my eye glasses. I've heard of having a flipped lens with my bifocal correction at the top of the lens. TacticalRx offers this feature. Does anybody have any...

I like the idea of a 5 or 5.5 lb carbine, small and handy. As for cartridge, 9 mm seems low power for a rifle. The 10mm and 357 Sig are just as expensive as 223 it seems. Is that why AR(10mm) are not a thing? Hopefully, the WWSD 2020 project put forth by InRangeTV will generate interest in...

It's the Golden Age of 9s, with so many good choices. A person's subjective preference will matter more than a list on the internet. Shoot what you can before you buy. Likes: 1. HK VP9 2. Sig 226 Elite SAO 3. Sig 226 Emperor Scorpion 4. Glock 19 5. HK VP9SK 6. S&W Shield 2.0 Walther PPQ...

I'd be strongly tempted by a good, magazine fed, 10 round capacity, 308 bolt action for $400, maybe even $450.

Polish Maroszek vz 38 m in both 30-06 and 8mm Mauser.

Looks cool but I'd hate to hand one over to the police as evidence after an incident.

Impact Guns has the Ruger American Rimfire, 22" barrel for $198.99. Current. Not sure for how long.

Local hapkido dojo. Really more of a martial arts club. No belts, no testing, no gi. Boxing/kicking on M-W, grappling and brutal fitness workout on T-R.

Holy cow, OP here. This thread has just kept going. Last summer, I was buying my first handgun, and opted for a 9mm, because of the plethora of 9 mm. LEOs were turning in their 40 S&W. My background is somewhat in PCs, where companies actually stop making stuff. If your mother board is too...

Mostly I was thinking of a hypothetical scenario, eg if I wrote a novel and had a character buy a gun, would the Ruger carbine be reasonable. Maybe I'll would have another character argue with him about it...

What do you guys think of a Ruger carbine 9 mm as a first gun? Would it serve well to teach people how to shoot, and also have some 'legs', in that people would stick with it? I bought the 10/22 as the first gun and it's ok, but it's kind of boring to shoot. I don't shoot it much anymore.
