Re: First personal firearm thread
and if it does misfire, pull the trigger again.
I'm beyond convincing otherwise that a revolver is the way to go. Heck those old cowboys left em in the dust and they still fired at high noon.

Re: First personal firearm thread
Glock 19. Not a better handgun in the world for all around use. I prefer 9mm as well thanks to modern bullet/powder technology. Yeah it is only a .3 inch hole, but when the HP expands you can get some pretty wicked wound cavities. And with that 19 I can put 15+1 downrange pretty quickly (and accurately). Now, thats just my 2 cents, but you really need to try a bunch of different weapons for yourself. I love 1911s (Kimber, SA, etc) and I'm a Sig and HK fan. I hear good things about M&Ps as well. So, try them all, for me though, gotta stick with my Glock.

Re: First personal firearm thread
Family Safety First = 12 guage shotgun
Get a Remington 870 HD Express and load it with loose spread bird shot, then top it with 1 close spread 00 Buck round. The shot penetration of even a handgun is going to be enough to cause harm well past the 'intended target.' Not to mention racking a shotgun in a dark lit house is enough to make anyone piss their pants... As for handguns... Glock 19, Sig P229 and HK USP Compact all earn my stamp of approval. Just depends if you like paddle release vs button, polymer vs metal, striker vs DA/SA.. etc etc. All this is my .02 |

Re: First personal firearm thread
The Glock G23 would be at the top of my short list.
Extremely reliable and easy to shoot. Definitely try before you buy and see which firearm fits your hand best and see how easy it is to operate safeties and mag releases. |

Re: First personal firearm thread
For $1200 it better be auto aiming.

Re: First personal firearm thread
My primary carry weapon in a Springfield XDM in .40cal. I love it.
As far as home defense / child safety, my personal preference is a Remington 870. Added features are a light, adjustable stock and ammo rail. My children are familiar with the family weapons, know their utility and the mystery factor has been removed with familiarity training. They shoot the gun, they clean the guns and have been educated and trained as to their utility and purpose. The most important thing to teach, IMPO are the 4 basic rules of gun safety and they can never be denied.
