Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 19, 2003 Including a lot of Police Forces, and the FBI, if I'm not mistaken. I too am a believer in shotguns. Talk about stopping power. I've got one, and I wouldn't trade it for any weapon in the world, save maybe a flamethrower. Rack that slide in someone's face, and they're shitting. I used to hunt occasionally, too, but I've kind of lost interest. On the rare times that I do, it's always with a bow anymore. Still, shotguns are powerful, reliable, legal, and relatively affordable. They're just big is all, which is why I'd like to get one with a pistol grip.

MrRant 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2003 Glocks are reliable and the .40/45AP are sweet. The Ruger and Sprinfield Armory ones that I posted are getting really good reviews... especially the S&A XD one and that comes in 9mm/.40/45 flavors.. plus its really hard to accidentally fire because outside of the normal safety it has both a trigger AND grip safeties on it.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 19, 2003 Good to have since you've got a little kid and all. Me, I want something I can point at a dark figure in the shadows, and have it go off suddenly, eradicating what may or may not be there. It's only got a safety on the trigger, and it's just a dainty little thing that goes into attack mode with a little push. After that, it's Brinnikey (sp) slugs out the ying-yang at a fairly good pace. I don't monkey with any plastic casing full of BB's. It's one spinning chunk of searing lead for me.

MrRant 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2003 This isn't the EXACT one but Ruger makes a model of this that is Double Action Only.... NO external safety... and it's a .40SW. Good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrRant 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2003 Including a lot of Police Forces, and the FBI, if I'm not mistaken. The FBI (Including the SWAT HRT team) is now going with the Springfield Armory 1911. BAAAD MOTHERFUCKERS. .45AP and a 5" barrel of justice right there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 20, 2003 Yeah, that'd kill a dude. I'm having no luck with the shotgun search, really, so I'm starting to consider getting a handgun. I'm on a budget though, so I'm not going to be getting any sweet FBI Special Unit firearms or anything cool like that. Probably more like a really noisy snub-nosed .357 Magnum. Those are dirt cheap at some of the backwoods gun stores around here, and are easy to carry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2003 Check out http://www.galleryofguns.com GOOD SHIT there. The price that is listed is the MSRP... but when you actually go through the price is usually $100- 200 or so cheaper. An example is a Glock 21 is about $700 MSRP but if you want to see prices in your area its about the $450-550 mark. You can search by caliber etc. I think a .40SW or 45 would be good enough and can be gotten relatively cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
