I have no regrets choosing this pistol over other polymer weapons. I chose it for it unique looks, the rotating barrel was cool, and I like DA/SA. It's also pretty slim and compact for CCW. The only thing that bothered me was the 'winged-out' safety/decocker on the slide. It blistered my hands...
A few months ago, I visited local gunsmiths to install slim decockers on my Beretta. I noticed every gunsmith I had visited only gave me the option to leave my gun there overnight, a few days, or until I'm contacted. It is a 5-minute job I could have done myself, but I just didn't have the...
It's more of a "just in case" thing. I do plan on moving once the lease is up this year. Until then, I just wanted to explore the option.
My reasons for feeling threatened is as I stated in the beginning... Random thugs crawl out of the woods, notice someone (me) is sitting there, and then they...
If you want to get a head start, you could go to the Sig Sauer website and download a copy of the owner's manual. By the way, the manual does say "disassemble, clean, and lubricate" before firing the pistol.
Yeah, the article seems a bit hazy; maybe trying to spice it up with the use of "illegal...firearms" and "deadly weapon...without a permit". Maybe he bought the guns, illegally, or stole them. Who knows? I'm sure the police reported to the press the man is "under investigation for the suspicion...
I'd definitely run back inside if I notice them coming toward me. I'm afraid they'd actually plan to hideout next to my balcony out of sight and then jump me as I am about to walk back in the house. It's hard to explain, but the way the building is shaped (corners, shadows, trees), it's...
I prefer not to keep it in the open. I don't want anyone to know I even own guns around here. Sure, it may be "legal", but I do not want to advertise that I have firearms and/or provoke anyone (i.e. to burglarize my place while I'm out).
And to be honest, I do care if the police are called...
I appreciate everyone's responses. They cleared a lot of things up.
I hope to avoid any use of deadly force. I'm not looking for a gun fight. I'm not provoking anyone. And to be truthful, I don't want a piece in the American Rifleman (I was just kidding on that part). However, I do want to...
I was wondering if it is legal to "CCW" on your own property. Specifically, within the back porch of an apartment.
I lease an apartment on the first floor. Right across the parking lot is a park where the muggers pop out of and rob people in this apartment complex at gunpoint (been ongoing for...
A nice shooter, indeed. It's got low recoil and very slim/concealable. I wish it'd become more popular so there'd be more accessories available for it...like CTC grips. :)
If this gun is primarily for plinking and fun...I'd say just go with 9mm. In the long run it'll save you lots of money for more plinking fun, accessories, targets, etc. If you truly believe 9mm "lack power", there are 9mm rounds out there designed for defense...you can keep a box of those lying...
