Help me decide (gun nuts)

Get a compact 45. Here is a nice review/comparison of 4 pistols including Glock, HK, and my favorite, the Springfield V10.

I agree with what the majority is saying here. Go with the higher calibur.

Also go to a shooting range and test out a few of their rental guns and see which one feels right to you.

I personally would go with a Glock 30.

Why do you care if he wants a gun. Take your gun hate somewhere else.

Dual... gold plated. That should slow them down enough for you to tie them up.

I too am looking. While I have an affinity for Colt 1911s, I've been looking at SIGs, particulary the P220 with a Nitron coating in a .40 loadout. I've heard some handgun fanatics say that .40 rates better ballistically than a .45 *shrugs*

Glock, dogg, you can drop caps in some ASS wit dat, bra!

Glock. I would step up to the .40 or .45 though.

Yeah, that's like $1,200! He said under $700.

Haha-I just bought a S&W .44 Mag a few weeks ago with a 6 1/2" barrel. Looks very similar but I know that .500 is friggin' massive. Makes the .44 Magnum look like a mouse gun.

The Feds have your IP address and are on their way to your house. Remain where you are please.

BTW-We prefer the term 'Gun Aficionado'.

Originally posted by: cr4zymofo Thanks for all your suggestions. I have personally fired a couple of firearms, and I don't like the Berreta because it's a little larger for my hands (and too much military in it). I think I will go with the H&K USP23. As for the reason for the gun, my parents convenience store was robbed, twice, in one week, at knife point.

Eh. I wouldn't bet my life on a nine killing an invader. In order to get me to operate a convenience store, you'd have to give me a .50 or a 12 gauge - somthing with some frickin stopping power.

Thanks for the advise, but I was a Marine (I do have some firearms training ), and I wasn't gonna shoot any one, unless I absolutely have to. I just want to detain the bastages and hand them over. As for stopping power, trust, me, 10 9mm slugs will stop any body.

You might want to consider a larger weapon like a shotgun just for the sheer awe factor. A punk sees that pointed at them, they'll either run or sh!t themselves. Appearance can make quite a difference.
