Hand Gun guys...in here. PICS

[phill_up]

That was some good reading Vince. I agree with you that if a person cant handle a .45 they need to eat more often. If they thought a .45 had too much recoil i would definitely stay away from any revolver above a .38 caliber. The hardest recoil of any Gun I have ever shot was the M110 Howitzer

This is its counterpart that hauled the projos and powder kegs. This thing was the coolest MF'r ever. Powerful and handled really well.

This one is my home defense gun and favorite of what I have...

Sig 229 SCT 9mm with 17 round mag (which is illegal in NJ), thankfully I don't live there anymore!

Very nice I have an older P229 in 40 non railed, it was the 1st "nice" gun I bought myself, got a .357 barrel for it, and that thing is a blast to shoot.

Can't go wrong with a Sig, I'm thinking about picking up a P220 in Stainless Monday.

Cool pieces posted here! That older H&K is nice and the Sig P226 is on my GAS list! I have a Beretta 92FS in Stainless which I bought new many years ago and it has the 15 round mags. I didn't know they had 10 rounders currently, I thought they went back to the 15's after the so called Assault Weapons bill sunset.
Anyway, There is a book called Handgun Stopping Power and it shows the .357 Mag to be about the ideal home self defense round. Interestingly I don't have one myself, another one for the GAS list. In fact there are so many I want its not funny. These range from the Browning Hi-Power to P226.

Great Sigs... I own a P220 that says "Made in W. Germany" I bought it back in 1991. Awesome weapon and I love the recoil...

Just a question for you Scott,

Why all the full size Glocks?

I am asking because I own a 23 and a 19. I had a 17 but the 19 and 23 are more versatile for concealed carry.

Also I would really look into the HK USP in .45 either in compact or full size. I think having a double stack and hi cap magazines is very important for a service pistol.

I own a few 1911a1s and they are nice but obselete in todays world. My HK USP carries double the capacity and almost half the weight. I love my .45 USP

One last thing I would look into a Sig. I like the Blackwater edition they made of the P226 9mm but that one is pricey.

ETA I reread your post and I see you did opt for a double stack. That should be a good pistol then.

Stuka sorry to ask a dumb question but are you a police person?

The 45 is a awesome home defense round big heavy and slow. Hit your target and not have to worry about the round going through the target and through the wall to what's ever on the other side.

It's amazing how often I have to tell people this. I bought a .45 for this exact reason. I'm not going hunting with it, lol. If I have to use it, whatever it is I have to use it on is probably not going to be very far from me.

I bought the 17(full size 9mm) first, then realised that it was not on our list of approved weapons. Since then it has been approved, but initially that is why I bought the 22 (full size .40). Also, the .27 (compact .40) is the one I use if I am carrying concealed.

Yup, 15 round mags.

Stuka sorry to ask a dumb question but are you a police person?

I am a Senior Correction Officer, which in NJ, is law enforcement, unlike many other states like PA. I am also a firearms instructor for my department.

I've been thinking about one of these, the local shop has one but I've never owned a handgun before, shot a million of them, but never owned one, however the other end of the spectrum is this......also would love one of these



I've been meaning to look into one of these, not sure how legal they are in my parts hahaha but I'd love to take one to the range here!
