Title: Handgun poll
Post by: Caliga on December 03, 2009, 01:27:39 PM
Ok, this came up in a Computer subforum thread but I wanted to move it to the main page because I didn't want the hijack to get worse: a friend of Princesca and I is looking to sell of most of her guns and the above list is what she has 'for sale'.  She also has a Beretta .22 and a SIG Haemmerli but isn't willing to sell those because they're her favorites.

I don't have any idea of what she'd be charging but based on the above list, which ones do people like best?  You can go ahead and make fun of the Taurus (I just wanted to list to be all-inclusive).

I don't feel that I need a .45 caliber piece.  Honestly, I'd almost want a .22 if it wasn't such a puny round... my father in law's SIG Mosquito is fun as hell to shoot.

Of these I like the P229. I have one in .40 caliber and I love it. I like the 1911 also, but they must be well-machined, often post-production. And they are heavy. Mine is, anyway. I've put thousands and thousands of rounds of cheap dirty Wal-Mart ammo through my P229 and it has literally never once misfed or misfired. Pretty impressive.

If you're not going to use it against the most dangerous predator of all, that is to say black people, why not just settle for a .22 anyway?

For targetshooting I find the .22 a lot more fun than any other calibre.

Pfft.  First, it's easier to say "long gun" than it is to say "rifle or shotgun".

Second, since Canadian law restricts  any firearm with a barrel length of less than 470mm, there is a legal distinction between a long gun and other types of firearms.

So in short, up yours.   :P

The term "rifle" is ridiculous.

The barrel of a pistol is also rifled.

No, the proper term is of course "Gevär" or if you wish to get prussian, "Gewehr".

I'm biased of course, but I went for the Glock 19.  The 26 is a really nice CCW pistol, if that is the angle you wanted to go for. 

And FWIW I'm pretty impressed that the inevitable M1911 hijack got in as early as the 3rd reply.

Don't want, don't need .45 caliber.  Plus aren't .45 caliber bullets insanely expensive compared to most .22 or 9mm brands?  The SIG Mosquito is chambered for .22LR.  :cool:

I did have my dad's old .38 police long barrel, but stooped using that for a short .38.

I must always be prepared for attempts on my position.

QuoteThe Cavalry had fielded some double action revolvers in .38 Long Colt. They determined that the .38-caliber round was significantly less effective against determined opponents, such as the warriors encountered in the Moro Rebellion of the Philippine–American War, than the .45 Colt.

Allegedly, the move to .45 was (in part) inspired with actual field experience with Moro rebels ... who just would not admit to being dead after being shot with smaller calibres.

The Glock 19 and 26 are basically the same gun. The 26 is just more compact. It is less accurate than the 19. I carry the 19 (with a 15 round mag) for a work weapon. I am also qualified to carry the 26 but choose not to do so.

Both run about $450-$500 in Western NY.

EDIT: The Glock 19 and 26 can jam a lot depending on your ammunition, state of the weapon, and shooting ability (if you don't lock your wrist right it won't reload properly). If you worry about jams than buy a revolver. A Smith & Wesson .357 with a .38 firing pin is a very nice weapon.

So, have you settled on one, Cal? Or you could just get one of each.  :P

Everybody's different. I bet you could get a shop to let you try before you buy.

Mine's fairly accurate, but I couldn't imagine using it on the battlefield against targets that shoot back.  The time I shot a Luger, however, it felt: natural :ph34r:

HA! I just got it. Bond's gun.  :blush:

Yeah, the .380 is underpowered but if it was good enough for Hitler, it is good enough for me.  :P

Also only cost me 125 bucks.

I thought PPKs were uber expensive.  Did you buy it from some senile old man?

Also, in answer to your question, nothing yet.  We still haven't met up with our arms dealer, but my guess it we'll walk away with a Glock 19 and/or a SIG P229.

Also, 1911's seem to tend to be pretty pricey.  It's almost certain that will be the first handgun I get...just a matter of narrowing down which brand/type to get.

I had a Colt Combat Commander once.  Lovely action.
Just remember not to use a hollow point as your first round in the magazine.  Colt + Hollowpoints = Stovepiped chambered rounds, and you die.

signed by the Acting Director of Public Prosecutions.

So given my very real status as an agent of the state I am in the process of getting my restricted firearms license, and will see what I can do about getting a handgun. :Canuck:
