I am not a moderator, but I'm asking (or reminding) everyone to try reading the topic with some care before responding.
My main concern is that new shooters, coming to THR for advise, get good advise. Example: If someone who doesn't know the various brands real well asks for examples of decocker only DA 9mms, don't list the Hi-Power. If the poster asks about steel frames, don't bother to tell him about your Beretta. If he can only spend $300 on a CARRY gun, a Luger Artillery model is probably out. (You get the idea.)
It's one thing to make an aside ("...not what you asked for, but..."), another to type a model name and post.
The internet is a curse of misinformation. Gun shops are sometimes no better. Let's make this a place where a novice can get a straight answer to at least the simple questions. That makes for more knowledgeable shooters and less wasted time and money "trying out" stuff the new handgunner doesn't want or need.
Thank you.
