Advice on buying some Pistols

Quote from mgookin:

...But, the greatest deterants to crime are alarms and dogs. Get some ADT signs in your yard (call a salesman and get an estimate; he'll give you free signs) and put a big, dirty, chewed up dog's bowl, dog toys, etc. by the front door with BAD DOG signs.

Another very good crime deterent and the simplest is lighting. I like the chewed up dog's bowl with the "BAD DOG" sign idea.
 
There is a shotgun round that I favor. It's a bean bag and it is supposed to send a shock wave through the body that breaks every bone... I'd rather shoot somebody with that and have them alive to answer questions and explain things to me than just dead on the spot, besides there's no blood to screw up carpets and walls or traumatize family members.. I prefer pepper spray for hand to hand situations for the same reason, there is not permanent damage and after you spray somebody you own them, you can kick their ribs in or whatever you want and they can answer questions when the spray wears off...
 
Quote from taclander:

Sorry to hijack, but since it is a gun thread I thought I'd ask. Anyone have advice for appraisals for antique guns? My Dad has handed over his guns, and my wife is not real thrilled. I'll probably keep anyway, but I think I need to get them appaised at the least. I now have a WWII German Luger and holster taken off a soldier, a P -38 Walther, and a couple of older guns also, and a flint lock rifle, possibly missing it's firing pin.
I'd like to keep the WWII guns and maybe shoot them, but would be concerned with making sure they are safe to shoot.
Any input appreciated.

Lot of info here. I've used them to buy magazines and such.

A well trained dog is really your best defense. See the ads in Robb Report for a few ideas.

These animals fully trained can cost $50k plus but you have a house guard and constantly watching eyes with the ability to kill if threatened. it truly is the ultimate home defense.

The dog and a 12 gauge pump shotgun pistol grip behind a locked bedroom door should do the trick. Handguns are stupid as it's very difficult to hit anything even when not stressed out/scared unless you are a true expert.

The dog will fight to the death for you, Giving you time to prepare, noise will wake you etc, if the intruder gets past the dog, he won't get past the shotgun blast when he kicks the bedroom door in.


Good luck

40 cal. Sig-Sauer. It feels good in your hand, plus it gets the job done.

Funny you said that because I'm supposed to check out a Sig 40 cal later today at the local gun shop.

I can see you know about as much on handguns as you do where the price of gold is going. :D

.40 S&W is an excellent handgun cartridge.
