yea i will shoot it alot and have 2 years to shoot it
if you are 18 or older can you legally carry a handgun locked in a case under your seat or something in your car loaded or unloaded or does it not matter

That varies state to state, ask local law enforcement.

while we're on the topic, whenever i go to get my gun and ccw , i know my fiance will want one too. im not sure how well she will be able to handle bigger calibers , but she was comfortable with the 9mm she shot before.what is something i should have her look into? maybe the smaller kel tecs? walther pps?

Model 60LS Revolver - LadySmith, chambered for .38+p and .357 mag. That way she can choose the round she is comfortable with, it is also one hell of a firearm.

Either the glock or the springfield if it is to be a concealed carry weapon. Remember the glock safety, isn't so much a safety as it is "don't pull the ****in trigger", the springfield isn't much better, but it at least has the grip safety as well. Neither to my knowledge have a manual safety. I personally would buy the springfield, I think it is a better buy for the money, last I checked they were significantly cheaper than glock. If they are comparably priced, you cannot go wrong with either.

Hi Sqhertz.

also the S&W M&P comes with a mag saftey it says so what exactly does that do since i havent held this gun

.40 is my choice, I have both the 9mm and 40 cal glocks and they are both great guns, it really doesn't matter as either round will ruin anyones day...Just practice and be a skilled shooter and it won't matter, tripple tap to center mass and the largest guy on a crack binge will go down for good...

unless hes on pcp.

a while back there was someone high on that shit going after the police with a knife. they put something like 10 rounds center mass before he fell since his muscle was so tight from being on it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

but last i was told , the po-pos first 3 rounds are fmj then hollow points after that. not sure if there is any truth to that , but yeah.

and king , you better get familiar with the law on what you can and cant do with your firearm. if you are going to shoot someone , you better be 89258956% in the right or you WILL go to jail/prison.

I have never had good luck with them, the wheelguns are rock solid performers, S&W's autos have never been my thing. When they released the 1911, I bought one, sold it within a month, only 1911 I have ever sold. It might just be personal preference, but I do not like them.

so many moving parts to service and keep clean.

revolvers are much simpler and generally more reliable.
