I gave lunker props for keeping his toes out of the picture!

my lord you all are posting crap! I think this picture is more in the direction that the OP was intending this thread to take.

darnit... I was hoping this thread was going to be much better. " ... her old college roomate, the one that was Sweden's Wet T-Shirt Queen of 2002."

I liked the EAA witness compact I had, my issue with it was the lack of lefty friendly controls. And for the price of $450 it just did not match up to a glock20 for $50 more. If you really want to lay your hands on a g20 try glock talk and keep your eyes open. I bought my last one there for $350 with 3 mags.

WTF! Some people have too much money, too much time and not nearly enough sense. Ok... I have always thought a SW 4" blued revolver is a thing of beauty. Modern guns... I really think for some reason that Walther P99s are great looking.

Well...There are used 1000 Series Smith and Wessons out there. Large, tank like handguns. Mag capacity of 8+1. Then there are used Colt Deltas... make sure the frame is not cracked. Then there are new Dan Wesson Pointmans... 1911 style and very desirable. Never shot one... only hear glowing reports. There were some EAA Witness 10mm full size and compacts floating around for awhile.. they were decent guns especially in full size. But my personal favorite if the Glock 20... Big, handles the recoil well, very sturdy and 15+1 rds of 10mm goodness is bad mojo for something down range.

I think there might be someone interested in this federal position on this board.... If anyone does and wants some help with .gov resume building let me know.

Down here in SJ, Bob Little Sport usually has a good selection, but not for under $200. The only 22lr that I would suggest in that price range are the very underated Remington 597, sometime be found at Dicks Sporting Goods with scope for $240 approx, or a Henry Lever for $215 or so. I recomend the 597 highly... I love mine.

Guys... I am out Sat. MIL is finally able to go home after a long recup... Happy Days.

Tuk....I have 4 of the KCI mags... I have but rounds through two of them. They are ok... I would use them for range use only and if you ever have a problem with the G19 it is the mags fault if the KCI is in it. Now, neither has made my G19 hiccup yet, so my only issue is that the KCI mags do not drop free completely, one start then hangs up in the mag well, the other did not even start. I bought them for range and backup stockpile if needed. I have about 7 Glock mags. Everyone in awhile you can find them for $15 new or at gunshows you might be able to find PD trade ins... these will be lightly used for about $10 each. I have three of those. Did you get two mags with the gun.... then wait and get two more eventually. That is all you need.... unless your a freak like me and are positive in your belief that you will be mowing down zombie hordes with you G19 and will need to do at least 6 tactical reloads while moving towards your long gun... but that is just me!!!

God that is ugly.... but boy do they work. When anyone asks the "Which compact 9mm?" question the first and last answer out of my mouth is a G19... and it makes me cringe. I so hate/love that gun. Good buy and good luck with it. Now go shoot the snot out of it.

take me with you Steph.... I like Asheville in particular.

Ha....

No... your right... not a suprise, but hope springs eternal.

Got a text last night from a friend in Wash Twp that attended the Govs Town Hall there. His text read "Luv this guy but now I have to move!". Then read the recap in the Philly Inguirer and here is the reason why ... "Asked about the possibility of New Jersey becoming a Right to Carry (firearms) state, Christie answered: "It's never going to happen in a million years." Christie said that given the Democratic-dominated Legislature, it would not happen in New Jersey right now, so he would not expend political capital on the issue." Well, it is politics and politics only. It will never happen. Hmmm.... Texas might be nice.... maybe back to Atlanta. Sacramento is in Cali, I cant go there... what to do what to do..

Charter Arms is hit and miss. Shame as the basis and design seem good. If you want a revolver and are on a budget, you owe it to yourself to hunt around for an older S&W. I have purchased both of mine used, mainly because the older model SW (IMHO) are of higher quality then the new one. Plus, blue is much better looking the polished steel on a revolver. I have a Model 19 .357 and I overpaid for it willingly as it was LNIB. I have a Model 14 K38 Masterpiece .38sp that i got for $300 at Lawmen Supply in EHT. It is in about 80% condition, rough grips, but it shoots well and is such a great piece. Check this thread out at thehighroad on what to look for in a revolver when buying pre loved. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=1430

Radek... the funny thing is the keepers were mostly bought early in my gun life... G19 was fifth.... G20 was 8th.... 22/45 was 9th....M19 was 10th.... M14 was late... matter of fact it was second to last. You try them out... you like or dont like and you move on. Funny thing is how your tastes mature or change. That is when you find out what works for you as a shooter.

The 2022 is the most underated SIG ever produced. They have good triggers, work every time and are accurate. Large though compared to a G19 or S&W MP. I dont think they are produced anymore, but there are plenty of old/new stock out there. Wojo... do yourself a favor and go try a 250 out. It does have a revolver like trigger by design, which is not an issue if you were trained on or like revolvers. The gun itself is over all a very good design, simple, tough and handy. People love to express their opinions, like I just did, but my advice is go see what works for you and what you like. You may love the 250... you may hate the 220s size and crappy trigger release. You might be more comfortable with a HK45 or a 1911 someday... stay flexible. My own example... I hate glocks... yet I have owned in order the following handguns the last five being the only survivors in my safe. You eventually find what you like and keep them... but dont discount anything on hearsay. Find what works for you. Learn from an old mans mistakes...

Now Bob... he was not asking about the Holy Grail... he was just looking for a mug. The BL22s are very nice. Funny thing is, you can sometimes find them at gun shows for sale... needing to be fixed. They innards are like a swiss watch, you do not take it apart yourself if you dont know what your doing, like me. I have two friends that have stumbled on "broken jap brownings" at gun shows for less then $200 and then gotten them working fine for $100 or less by a competent gun smith, or by themselves. I keep looking, but I cant seem to find the dumbasses before other people find them at gun shows.

I was always looking for a good used 39... especially a 39a but appparently they are as rare as hens teeth. I really like the Marlin, but the price is a little too high. Yes it is high quality, but i am not sure it is all that much more higher quality. That being said, I shot Tactical Monkey's Henry and yest the action needed some breaking in, but it was very accurate. 15 rds in the black on a rimfire target at 25yds makes me sold on an open sight rimfire rifle any day of the year. Get the Henry... see if you really like a rimfire lever action, then go get the Marlindown the road. Rimfire rifles have a way of overpopulating your safe.

I constantly have this argument with myself and the three I shop are Rock Island Tactical ($450), STI Spartan ($650), and the Taurus Pt1911 ($550) and i would buy them in that order. The RIA Tactical comes with all the goodies (ambi safety, skeleton trigger and hammer, wide trigger well, beveled ejection port, sloped combat sights) that the Taurus and STT come with, for alot less money. Leaving you a couple hundred to by ammo to shoot up and practice with.

planning on being there...

Thomas... I personally have had a good experience with a CA 22 Pathfinder... friend owned one for rodent control around his cabin. That being said... the Taurus revolvers have been much better for the past 10 years. You will find a lemon in any bunch. Heck, I owned a HK that sucked... nobody beleives it though. The one thing i would say about a .22 revolver is do not, repeat do not get one with more then 6 rounds. The timing can get screwed quickly and rimfires are so picky with where that hammer falls.

A 317 would be an expensive training tool, I dont think I have ever seen one under $400. And having shot one and wanted to buy one I will say this, they are so lightweight, that the trigger pull in DA does effect it's accuracy. SA is not a problem. If you would like to get her a .22 revolver try a Taurus .22, Charter Arms .22 or find an old steel Smith like Bob recomended. 317s are backup guns for ankle holsters or deep cover. Do you own a glock? How about a .22 conversion for a glock since they are point and shoot interfaces?
