  • You will shoot your eye out.

    Maybe we should start you out with a pop gun. You know the kind that has a cork and a string tied to the end of it.

    You're still allowed to use teh internets bunker? At first I thought walter was another alter ego but he shows up in the tavern to actually talk about football once in a while so I know he's not you. The fact that anyone would sign off on you having any sort of firearm is disturbing to say the least.

  • Geez, I own a Beretta 7 shot Bobcat 22 because I thought the wife would like it in her shop and not be afraid of it.. Yeah, she's afraid of it so we armed her with hornet spray instead... But that's the ONLY reason I bought the damn thing.. I'm 6"4 or 5" 317 so I can palm that gun easily and no one knows I have it.. Damn good thing too, because if I showed it they probably laugh at me 🙁

    I know this doesn't really apply to the thread except for laughs.. And trust me, I'd probably rather sling cat shit out of the litter box as a last line of defense rather than use the bobcat (that I have to clean every damn bullet or it will jam) but in the case that some one googles a Beretta Bobcat 7 shot 6 yrs from now and sees this....then my job is done 😉

    Oh, and I own much better guns 😉

  • Yeah i really would like to have something like this but at the holidays it's a bit cost prohibitive 170350_01_sm.jpg

  • This is what I have. It is a Browning hi-power 9mm. IMO one of the best handguns EVER made. But they are pricey. The value has increased every year though

    Mine was made in 1982 and I bought it in 1992 and it was never fired.

  • This is what I currently have but it's a .40 3476.jpg

  • The Bobcats are awful haha. Luckily my wife took to guns so she isn't afraid. She only gets recoil shy with 30-06.

  • I like Hi Powers but they definitely put a hurting on your wallet.

    Diehard pointed you in the right direction. You can get a Taurus revolver on the cheap and their revolvers are good quality. Charter Arms also has some nice revolvers that you can get on a budget.

  • If $839.00 is your idea of cheap you're probably doing pretty well

  • I would never pay anywhere near $800 bucks for a Taurus.

    Taurus makes an excellent revolver. And that particular model you would never fire. If you pulled it out the other guy would shit himself and pass out.

  • It might sound kind of petty but I prefer to buy American when I can. That was why I bought a Ruger over a glock or something else at that price point.

  • When I get a revolver it will be an s&w

  • Nah I know lots of people who lean American when purchasing firearms. I don't get hung up on it. Most of the foreign owned gun companies manufacture their guns in the U.S.

  • There is a store around Cleveland called Fin Feather and Fur. They sell a wide variety of handguns. And the prices are almost always the lowest. They also buy and sell used guns.

  • Yeah I'm well familiar with fin feather and fur. Will be making a trip to the middleberg location this weekend

  • That's the store my ccw instructor advised as generally having the best prices...

    Thats not to far from where I live. Going to have to go and check it out.

  • Cysko - you're a vet correct? Still have a DOD card? Pretty sure you can get any of th 9mm Glocks for $398. Google the Glock "LE" or "Blue Label " program. $150-200 off regular price depending on the model. Sig sauer and smith&wesson have similar programs.

    If you're carrying (as large as you are) you should have no trouble conceal carrying a Glock 19. Top 3 reliable weapon IMO. Reliability is paramount IMO for a self defense handgun. If you're getting something for your wife:

    1) let her pick it out/ try it out

    2) Glock 42 is a great tiny gun in .380acp for the wife. Not my ideal self defense caliber, but better than nothing. (Made in USA too)

    Echoing what logic said, stay away from the hi-point. Even if it's just for plinking paper. You'll have more enjoyable trips to the range/back yard if you're not clearing jams 50% of the time.
