Choice is between a revolver (S&W Model 13 .357mag) or a CCW gun (LCP or Nano)... which should I go for? I am torn between buying a CCW gun for South Carolina... and a new revolver (because even though I rarely shoot em, I love em too).

The little green 'up' arrow and red 'down' arrow in the bottom right corner of each post... someone gave the OP a 'down' (or -1) vote...

ARGH!!!!!! Temporarily forgot where I lived... sigh.

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/02/10/mka1919-12-gauge-ar-15-shotgun/ Saweeeet! Now to own a Saiga-12 and one of these bad boys...

Done and got both my State and Federal refunds...

There are... in Parsippany. I've received many Amazon Prime shipments within the 2-day period because of my proximity to that warehouse.

Yes.

Who the hell gave the OP a '-1' for asking this?? Time to cancel that one out...

Maybe not a 'glass rod'. But it's definitely a clean break. When lined up on target, I can rest my finger right on the break-point and just squeeze it cleanly. Maybe it helped that I dry fire my Glocks pretty much every day and practice, practice, practice.

I guess it's subjective. I noticed my grip and where my finger indexes on the side of the pistol is pretty much the same as pointing my finger 'like a gun'. Makes it a bit more natural to me.

I've shot 92s, M&Ps (with and without APEX triggers), XDs, and 1911s. While I don't really have preferences for 'best trigger', the Glock is the most predictable for me. You pull it for a bit until you reach the break, and then it breaks like glass. Reset is crisp, I don't even need to let the trigger take-up all the way, I just feel it click, and pull again. The only trigger which is superior to them all is that on a (series 70) 1911, but that's because it's pretty much a single action. Works for me I guess. I just like that I can pick up any of my Glocks and shoot them all competently regardless of their size or caliber and need no modification out of the box... except for night sights...

I went with Verizon recently, switching from AT&T.... never going to look back...

But if they carry out of state? Or during a SHTF scenario? Ahhh.... DA/SA, a guaranteed way to fire a warning shot before firing your real shot. Also: don't forget the safety/decocker! Glock triggers have rarely been mush to me... they have some take-up, then a clean break. You should practice more. Not really, see above. Subjective... I can claim the opposite as well. How is 'accuracy' even measured here? Subjective. Generally, the whole "Glock grip is too blocky" is a tired old trope that is played out by those who are accustomed to whatever handguns their accustomed to... be it 1911s or others. Why? What's the added value in a 92FS? You have more weight, more bulk, an equally fat grip, DA/SA trigger, and cumbersome safeties and de-cockers... You pretty much CAN'T conceal it if you wanted to... Really does not come across that way.

Pass... Glock 19 is better as a first/only handgun. Compact (if you ever decide to conceal), 15 rounds, don't really need to clean it (easy if you decide to), great consistent trigger.

No one here is ragging on the good cops, but let's face it: the fact the profession is marred by the actions of a few bad apples, and few officers publicly speak out against those actions, is why you will always see hate towards LEOs... It's not your fault KpdPipes, it's just the result of decades of corruption from within.

Let them... then people will think they are stupid for actually thinking people believe in 'zombies'...

Very Easy... get Dremmel, cut off sight tower above the gas block assembly, polish, blue, and done.

This pretty much sums it up... You have to be a complete fool to believe 'zombies' can EVER exist. And if they did, they wouldn't be much of a problem to deal with at all with the proper tools (which are not guns, FYI).

Because I'm smarter than most cops, make more money, and generally have a more relaxing life than them... So why would I take a pay cut to do a job that has so many downsides? Like: - You have to serve the interests of an inept government, and enforce bad laws that you know are wrong - You aren't really serving and protecting anyone since you're always minutes late and a dollar short - You get **** on by the inept government - You get **** on by the community your charged to serve and protect because of you're inability to provide safety - You have to work with other cops, who (from my experience), tend to be a bunch of narcissistic, condescending, screw-ups, who think that because they get nice bennies, a badge, uniform, and gun (and sometimes tazer), that they are better than the people they're supposed to serve. - Your leadership isn't made up of police officers who served the community best and worked to make things better, but politically appointed hacks who are the same arrogant assholes that give the rest of the police a bad name. - When you have to enforce the law on another LEO, you have to cut them a break because it's a 'professional courtesy'. You'd think they'd know better than to break the laws they are supposed to enforce... but oh wells. If you go hard on them, then they may call in a favor from their <insert male relative who is in a position of authority over yours> to make your life even more miserable - You have to be politically correct... ('nuff said) - You are held to terrible metrics like: How many people did you annoy today for speeding more than 10mph above the limit? How many of them were minorities? Women? Etc. So yeah... you gotta be an idealist, a moron, or a power-hungry jackass to be a cop. It's sad, because the last two categories vastly outnumber the poor idealist who only wanted to serve and protect his community, but realized it's all a sham.

A lot easier to shoot with a semi... I mean, heck, even after the 1986 Miami FBI blunder, they realized the pitfalls of pump-action shotguns... on the one hand, they are simple and reliable, but on the other hand, you need two hands to be effective.

That's if they hear it... you can only really pump the gun once, after that, your ejecting ammo...

Disagree. Especially when you see some modern autoloaders like Benellis and Mossberg 930s... Hell, my 930 is way easier to take apart and has as many, or even fewer parts than my Remington 870. Not to mention, you can still shoot a semi-auto if your supporting arm is crippled... good luck trying to use a pump one handed...

You do realize that it's disconcerting that the people we pay to protect us, get to have more rights than us. This goes beyond the right to keep and bear arms, but in many other areas as well. So not ONLY do they get the fat pensions, the OT, and the whole "LEOs helping LEOs out of trouble" thing, they get to exercise rights that we peons are not allowed to.

Agreed. When you turn in your badge, you turn in your gun, and become just like the rest of us.

Sounds like a problem with the legal system, not your off-duty carry policy.
