It was once said that if you're going to be in a firefight, have a rifle. If you know that you're going to be in a fight, bring lots of friends with rifles. Enough said, right?
There is one more: A pistol should only be used in order to retreive the rifle you never shoul have dropped in the first place.
Well, in case you didn't know: I'm into rifles; actually more like sunk neck deep. But, I figured I needed a little something else. Mostly, those who have ever attempted to maneuver a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 within the confines of a small car will understand.
So, I guess the main point is basically I've got a bit of cash and I think I'll get a pistol. I figure I can look at a lot of online stuff but, I'd also like to hear from my fellow brothers (and sisters too) on THR.
If at all possible, one meeting these requirements:
*Semi-automatic, but if you think a revolver is it you can always try to convince me
*In 9mm/.40 SW/.45 ACP Let's try to stay out of the range of funky stuff like say .50 AE or .30 Luger
*Reliable, I think this goes without saying
*Fairly concealable, I'm looking for a sidearm that I can carry when I obtain my CCW
*Low to moderate cost of mags; ask anyone, I hoard, a lot
*And if at all possible I'd like to keep the deal under say 375 though I might be willing to go a little above that
Now what I don't care about is:
*Whether it's DA or SA or a combiation of
*New or surplus
*With or without night sights
*Manufacturer
I know I'm asking a bit much, but thanks thanks in advance for helping a pistol newb.
