Gun people, come inside!

I currently own 2 Rugers. A P345 .45 cal, and a P95 9mm. I absolutely love the feel of my 345. I bought it instead of an XD45. I did this because of the feel. It's all in your personal choice. You want a good gun, but at the same time, you want one that's comfortable as well. I have a custom Hogue Handall grip on my 345, which is NOT made for this particular gun. It fits perfectly and feels GREAT. The p95 is for my wife. She picked it out, she loves the feel and all that. (Not to mention, at 10 yds, she has a 3" grouping, not bad for her very 1st time shooting)

I have a Springfield XD 9 in full size and sub compact. I don't have a problem with the

9mm round. In the full size you get 16+1 and in the sub compact you get 13+1. If you can't stop what needs to be stopped with 14 rounds of 9mm you might want to spend some more time on the range. I replaced my glocks with these XD's. Both guns are great these just fit my hand better. Will not go wrong with either.

I have a Kimber 1911, Glock, HK P2000 (duty weapon) and my next pistol will be a XD-they are one of the best for bang and reliable guns on the market. Cant go wrong with a 9mm or .40

I was same way, I had it narrowed down to either the Xd or the M&P 45. I was leaning towards the Xd and went to a range and shot them side by side, ended up liking the M&P better so that's what I went with. Bought a hi cap mag for it too, so I have 15 rounds of 45. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

A good 1911 45 though is usually a gun that everyone will like. Been around forever, obviously, and there's a good reason for that.

I want to get a hand gun. I'm used to shot guns and rifles, but I want a hand gun to keep around.
I want a really good one, what you guys reccomend? Or what do you own?

Also I saw a guy with a black and silver handgun at a range and every time he fired a shot a flame would come out of the top? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif Wtf was that about?

I'm looking at one of these:

Wanting something powerful with night sight.

flame coming out the top is from a compensated barrel

reduces muzzle lift

just painted the lettering on the slide silver. i originally wanted to do the HK white and the USP in red but i ended up using what i had laying around.

 

[w00tah 10+ year member]

Nothing wrong with that Sig that you were looking at. I'd add the USP above me, as well as the XD Compacts. Taurus makes a hell of a gun, even if people hate on them. I've yet to shoot a Glock that I like though. They all feel awkward in my hand, dunno.

Sig Sauer P229 DAK 9mm - I like it as it is the most reliable handgun I have ever owned, very comfortable to shoot, and holds 13 rounds in a clip...I'm a bit fan of a handgun that can be fairly easy to carry concealed and has a large round capacity. Sigs are very, very well made and rugged handguns.

If anyone has some opinions on a home defensive shotgun, please let me know. I'm leaning towards a 12 gauge in either Remington, Benelli or Mossburg. I'm looking for something that has an 18" barrel or shorter so it is more maneuverable in confined spaces.

A difficulty with women and handgun selection is getting one that fits their hands. My wife had a tough time locating a handgun that would fit her small hand and be comfortable to shoot. She settled on the Sig P239 SAS DAK 9mm. Also, don't forget that handguns are designed and used for close combat type shooting typically, which means that they should be used in practice with that in mind. I typically practice with targets between 3 and 7 yards away maximum. Most handgun encounters are within that distance believe it or not. Several courses at the SigArms Academy in Epping, NH have taught me lots, and it is dang fun too! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i have a springfield xd 45. very nice gun.

 

[z0n3d0u7 10+ year member]

Ive had so many F'n problems with my XD .45 it isnt funny. chambering failures round after round after round. Wish ida never spent the $800 on the POS, As my Glocks make it seem like an over priced paper weight.

I would stick with GLOCK, H&K, SIG, Ruger or S&W personally.

And i feel sorry for whoever said they'd put thier trust in a millinium pro. I had one, And while it was a step up [i know, Unbelievable] from the peice of junk i purchased from springfield, It still doesnt function flawless enough for me to trust my life with it. I "Broke in" my magazine spring, And polished the feedramp and it helped a bit, But not enough to gamble my life with.

All it takes is that one round to misfire, And your lifes on the line.

And just so im not known as the "pistol toteing e gangsta", Here's pics of a target @ 25 yards, 10 rounds. single handed, left hand behind my back. Straggler to the left is after the range master cleared a FTF after the 5th round.

In short: Go with a glock 26 or 27.

Your full of shit plus if you paid 800 for an xd your a fool and you deserve the issues you had, you must be a anti xd glock fan boy. For the record i have a glock 36 and 23c and xd45 and xd9 and ruger sr9.
