Re: Hand Guns

In New York the county sheriff is in charge of concieled weapons permits contact your local NRA groups or go to the NRA website and they will have your states gun laws posted as well, or at least an overview, while your there you should join up too.

Re: Hand Guns

9 times out of 10,if the guns fits you good,shooting it is as natural and scratching an itch.Sigs are great feeling guns.Just out of my price range and I have yet to pick up a glock that I liked the feel of.I do plan on buying a Colt 1911A1 one our next shut down at work though.

Re: Hand Guns

I'd sure like to pick up a Kimber but none of the stores around here carry them.They'll special order em,but they dont carry them all the time.

Re: Hand Guns

I didn't like the feel of the glocks at the gun show I went to last weekend, but they had this shorter smaller version that seems to fit my hand very well. Im a really small guy (135 lbs on a heavy day) so a smaller gun was kinda what I planned on. I wanted a 9mm but they are proving harder to find around here, but I think a .40 would be perfectly fine. I'm not sure if they even have that glock any more, if not its back to picking up every one and seeing what they feel like...

Re: Hand Guns

Stay away from the 9mm.Go with something like a 40,38sp,357.
9s are just to small for protection.They have little to none stopping power.

Re: Hand Guns

Yote another super weapon that I have personal experience with is
Kahr Arms PM9
Even though 9mm are for women and pansies this is a superb firearm and they sell cheap, only downfall is you have to fire 200 rounds for a breaking in period before is is "fully acurized". This is an awesome firearm though.

This is a link to the FNP m/p model great prices as well

FN FNP 40 SW & 45 ACP at Impact Guns Home
