The Gun Thread

What’s the cheapest they run for? Did a brief search online, saw them running for around $300. Now, i’m not trying to be a cheap bastard when it comes to home defense, but in terms of firearms what else do I have as far as home defense weapons in terms of that price range?

I think the Winchester is around $300, the Remington is probably closer to $400. You could also check out a few local pawn shops and very likely save $50-100.

I would recommend getting a pistol before a shotgun. Here's a deal site just for guns/ammo gun.deals

I had the .40 cal of the M&P and hated it. The trigger was a 9 lb trigger and it was awful. I sold it to the first sucker I could find.

I’ve never given two shits about the Glock/polymer debate, never owned one, but I am starting to get curious. Any Glock owners here?

I’m more of a Sig guy than Glock. Nothing against Glock, I just think the Sig is a better gun.

FYI-I took a DEA class recently and one of the classes was held at the gun range with several DEA Agents teaching how to use pistols and semi automatic rifle. I spoke to one of the agents and he recommended a full size 9mm Glock. He said to add glow in the dark sites and then buy a fingerprint reader storage box.

I dont know squat about these guns and haven't bought one yet but thought someone might be interested in what the DEA uses so passing along what they said

A lot of LEO uses Glocks. They are good guns. I just prefer the Sig.

Why so?

 

[Cotton]

Why so?

I like the balance of the weapon in my hand more with a Sig. The Glocks all feel too front heavy to me. It’s just a personal preference thing.

I have 4. A model 19 9mm, model 22 40 cal, model 23 40 cal and a model 43 9mm. They are light weight, inexpensive, absolutely reliable and reliably accurate. Maintenance is easy and aftermarket parts abound if you want to customize your weapon. All but he model 19 I carry in various duty capacities.

Which one you get also depends on your purpose. IF it's for actual carry, I'd recommend the Model 43 or 43x. The X has the longer grip and is better for bigger hands. They didn't yet have it when I bought my 43. It's a 9 mm single stacked pistol and very nice.

Like I said, lots of cops carry Glocks.

Lot of PD range masters and the like getting wined & dined. “Department approved standard issue” is either so-so brand or Glock.

Ours were Sig P226 before the the Glocks. I liked those too except for ours were double action only, not double-single. I will never again on a DA only gun.
