Help with my 1st GUN purchase

Quote from pspr:

Draw a picture of <s>Obama</s> Osama on those targets. It will improve your accuracy! :D

It sounds like a fun time.

PiggyBank,

As others pointed earlier buying a rifle now will be very expensive.

I would go for a hand gun as a first weapon. I personally own beretta px4 compact and really happy with it. A friend of mine only uses revolvers, he has some strange thing for them. You will hear tons of opinions here.

Rifles are mostly for fun, hand guns are much better choice for home protection, and if yuor state allows carry, it is even better.

One of the best guns for carry, that I like is, walther ppk. It is a small pistol and small clip capacity (6), but its reliability and accuracy are phenomenal.

Let us know what you end up buying.

Enjoy

Intuitively I think a double-action revolver is going to be more accurate if the hammer is cocked manually. The additional force needed to turn the magazine in double-action has got to affect the accuracy.
 
Quote from Hoofhearted:

I didn't mean the AR-15 is only good for a wall hanger. It's definitely got more potential than that. I was just referring to his OP where he says he wasn't buying for self defense, but just because their might be a ban.

A more practical weapon will be easier to slide behind the truck seat or under the pillows.

Just depends on whether he wants to keep it in a safe, or tote it around the countryside.

============
Good points ;he probably meant .223 or 5.56
Also with all the pro gun democrats , the probabilities of a .223 gun ban are about slim to none + slim just left town:D

Not a prediction simply probabilities/wisdom.:cool:
I like something more than .223, myself=.38/.357, 12 gauge.......
 
Quote from PHOENIX TRADING:

Your marksmanship skills remind me of my own.
I wasn't any good with the puny civilian stuff .
I was marksman with 45, sharpshooter with m-16 and expert with m-60 machine gun (think rambo first blood) and Tow missile.
I guess I'd be considered an expert with the bayonet and knife but I'm hopeless with one where it really counts (in the kitchen).


Guess I'll just have to live with the fact that if it comes to the zombie Apocalypse I'm toast because my 3 weapons of choice would be automatic shotgun, white phosphorous grenades and claymores.

Look up Saiga 12. You might still be able to pick up one somewhere, but good luck on finding the drums in these times.
