Zambroski Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Nice piece. A glock+ for sure. Better barrel and safety mechs. Solid choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it to go up in price in the future. It’s at glock pricing but a superior weapon for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst issue I have shooting a gun is my left eye was tuned for close/reading after getting the lasik, so I either have to wear corrective long distance glasses or I can't shoot for shit at any distance.

SSFB Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Nice. I need to get a handgun with some stopping power. Only pistol I have now is a Ruger 22. Fun for killing small shit. Also a lefty here but I shoot long guns righty. Slightly right eye dominant but not by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't thinking about shooting guns when I had it done 20 years ago. My buddy and his brother were both eye docs, and they had the surgery on their own eyes, so I just did what he told me. Should have reversed the distance/reading eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I have an S+W 9 mm with a 13 shot magazine, got it when the wife was pregnant with our first, which puts it at 31 years old. Barely used, probably haven't put more than 50 rounds through it. I paid almost 500 bucks for it back then. Wonder what its worth today.

They drove over the Maine line and completed the transfer. Kinda like when we bought the Sidewinders. The dealer in New York drove up to the state line and delivered them 'in Vermont', nixing New York taxes.

Sig, taurus, sw m&p's, springfield, ruger walther, etc... My buddy just picked up a canik and it's a damn nice shooting gun. It really comes down to how it feels in your hand and personal preference. Problem is buying ammo. Before you could go to the range and try out several guns but the only guns the range by me is loaning out are .40 cal and .380.

Before you could go to the range and try out several guns but the only guns the range by me is loaning out are .40 cal and .380. THIS Agreed- most handguns I have shot recently are decent. Every gun feels a little bit different, and it is always personal preference- but they are all decent now days. I always recommended that people try out as many handguns as they can to find the one that is the best fit for them. By pure luck, a range officer let me try a FN/FNH FNS9. I had never tried one, but ended up buying 2. A FNS9L for range, and a FNS9C for carry. I also have a S&W M&P9 for carry, but it is a little small for my hands. I transitioned to 9mm. Most of the time I can still get it, and it doesn't cost a fortune to shoot. It also has sufficient (tho not perfect) stopping power. You're not going to be proficient if you don't shoot a firearm regularly. I'm not a great shot, but I shudder to think how bad I would be if I didn't shoot regularly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few months back was different. I've picked up 400 rounds of .45, 200 9mm, 200 .40.... probably $700 or so.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 I think I have 100 rounds of .45 in the pipeline and I will be set till prices come down. Glad to see 'Remington' getting back into production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO MASKS required. just grabbed 2 slices at a joint at the beach, SMH order outside and wait outside for it and yet everyone was wearing masks. Can't figure out why- it's outside and easy enough to stay "socially distant" if you feel the need. I got a few glares and just DGAF at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I’m asked how much ammo I have, my canned response is always, “Enough to go get more.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
