What type of Gun?

[Kosar_For_President]

ahh for fun. ammo cost should be taken into consideration. .22 and .9mm ammo cost vs .40 and .45 obviously the lower caliber ammo cost is cheaper.

 

What the budget amount you were looking to stay in?

 

I assume you are looking at cross comparisons of cost vs reliability and quality. It would make it a lot easier to narrow down a opinion if we first think about budget.

 

The other question is what class of weapon meaning hand gun/rifle, etc.

 

About $300-$350, nothing special. I am looking for a handgun. I have never fired a semi auto, just revolvers and rifles. Didn't maintain them either. So I am leaning towards a 9mm.

its a little more in price but well worth the price bump. they normally average 450.00 That extra 100 dollars is more valuable in terms of reliability/safety and function than any of the sub 400.00 class of 9mm handguns.

Beretta 92fs 9mm

this model is VERY (1/17500 rounds) durable for average use.

 

I have a personal preference for the sig sauer p226 because of past usage. Sig sauer holds up better in the event of constant heavy usage but the price jumps from 450 to 750+.

 

whatever you end up with just remember to cycle your rounds in the magazines (if you keep one of them full for self defense) once a week so you dont lose spring compression strength.

 

You can buy cheaper 9mm handguns but for the price and reliability/safety and performance I think 450.00 for that specific Beretta model is unparralled. Just an opinion.

This was just emailed to me and i thought I would pass it along. I have not had time to check it out but all of us know that Obama will sign any anti gun law that comes to him. So buy what you would like now before it is not made available anymore.

Attorney General gets carte blanche to ban guns at will:

Under the proposal, the U.S. Attorney General can add any

"semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for

military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the

design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for

sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General."

 

 

Notice that Obama's pick for this office, Eric Holder, wrote a

brief in the Heller case supporting the position that you

have no right to have a working firearm in your own home. In

making this determination, the bill says, "there shall be a

rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the

United States military or any law enforcement agency is not

particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and shall not be

determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes

solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting

event."

 

 

In plain English, this means that ANY firearm ever obtained by

federal officers or the military is not suitable for the

public. The last part is particularly clever, stating that a

firearm doesn't have a sporting purpose just because it can

be

used for sporting purpose -- is that devious or what? And of

course, "sporting purpose" is a rights infringement with

no

constitutional or historical support whatsoever, invented by

domestic enemies of the right to keep and bear arms to further

their cause of disarming the innocent.
