Flauros 11/05/23 5:19:51 PM #8:	M&P Shield is a great choice. Its got (probably) the best quality to price ratio of any pistol out there for an entry level shooter. They are very easy to find, so you wont have to join a wait list. Probably any Bass Pro Shop can get you a new one lickety split. 9mm ammo is also very easy to get your hands on now. So you can get a lot of trigger time in and train with it. I also recommend a CPL course (your state may even require it), and some follow up training classes. --- https://i.imgur.com/EX6Md7k.gif https://i.imgur.com/ygAzHKB.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/c84omp7.gif https://i.imgur.com/Hj9RrC6.mp4 <cite>Flauros posted [p:977051705] in What pisto...

Living in a crap state with lots of restrictions is also a problem but unless you can move to a more free state you will need to be very careful. i'm fine with the state having restrictions, although a lot of them are currently getting challenged. Hell it was damn near impossible to get guns here until they overturned the law like a year or two ago, and they also challenged the CCW requirement that you have $300,000 in insurance so that's gone too, next is the rule about where you can conceal carry. I don't think I'll really need to practice a ton, I learn pretty fast and i'm a surprisingly good shot going by the few shots i put up at the range, but i'll definitely take a pistol course/NRA CCW course and practice loading/unloading and my stance at home. The gun won't actually be loaded obviously but i'll put rounds in the mag, see how fast i can load the mag, and unloading a loaded gun(finger off the trigger and safety on). The best case scenario is that I won't have to use the gun but i'll go to the range at least once every 2 months and get some shots in and practice. --- yes <cite>Akagami_Shanks posted [p:977052560] in What pisto...

XxX_6GAMING9GOKU_XxX 11/05/23 6:18:08 PM #27:	Go to a range and try some out. Everyone has a favorite and a million people will try and sell you a glock, but I hate the grip angle on glocks. hate hate hate, and a lot of people I know do too, so try one out first. I like variants of the 1911 or for polymers a springfield XD .45 compact is my favorite. I think they run 450ish. It's my favorite conceal carry wep for a few reasons. It comes with a few different mags to give it a compact vs standard frame, the grip safety is nice for something I want to keep concealed and makes awkward drawing mishaps during a stressful situation less likely to be an issue. The trigger mechanism is worlds better than other polymer pistols i've tried. For something you're keeping close to you for a reliable everyday workhorse, thats my recommendation to at least try at the range. A lot of people like the M&P but I didn't like it as much, especially not for the price. I didn't like the grips, personally.

You're not really stopping or deterring anyone with a single shot .22LR, plus the time it takes to deploy is super impractical.

Pretty sure the PDP has replaced that now, just be aware it'll cost a little more.

The gun won't actually be loaded obviously but i'll put rounds in the mag, see how fast i can load the mag, and unloading a loaded gun(finger off the trigger and safety on). A good tool for this would be inert rounds, like A-Zoom. They're solid chunks of aluminum that have the exact dimensions of a real cartridge, and have a soft rubber primer to let you dry fire safely, and/or see if you have light primer strikes. I practice malfunction/jam clearing with them. --- 4/15/1951 - 3/18/2014 10/02/47 - 9/19/23 <cite>Malcrasternus posted [p:977053831] in What pisto...

RiKuToTheMiGhtY 11/05/23 9:10:26 PM #48:	Get some kind of training ammo like snap caps (A-Zoom is what I use as does another poster it seems, good practice plastic rounds) if you want to practice loading and unloading, or clearing a misfire simulation. You will get laughed at if you go for a desert eagle .50 cal, it will fuck your wrist up. There is a reason it is not used in combat by any militaries. Hollywood made it popular as it is a cool powerful gun but not at all practical nor a EDC. --- doa-plus.com - We Press Forward. . .

Sufferedphoneix 11/05/23 9:16:04 PM #49:	Akagami_Shanks posted... I kinda want something cheap, not really lookin to drop a grand or anywhere near it on my first gun but something that isn't a total piece of crap that won't actually be reliable My first was a p95 ruger 9mm. Was around 300ish dollars I think. I like it. Lc9 ruger 9mm if you want concealable but you'll wanna buy this thingy that attaches to the magazine to extend the grip as otherwise it doesn't accommodate your pinky unless you got tiny hands. Cool thing about the lc9 is it had a tab that pops up if you got a round in the chamber. That way you know if one is chambered or not. Still practice safety though even if it says it's empty. I just like it for knowing one is indeed there so I know I ain't got to chamber one. I've ejected bullets a few times not thinking one was in the chamber. --- I put my heart and soul into my work and I fear I have lost my mind in the process <cite>Sufferedphoneix posted [p:977056006] in What pisto...
