I believe the gun shop in Sayreville had a used one.

If there were any other options, locally, this range wouldn't get much business. .

If you have the cash, get the AR, you can always pickup a shotgun, even a cheap used one, later on. The only reason I would get the shotgun, first, is if I was going to use it for hunting. Although, If you were going to use the AR or shotgun for backup home defense, you might want to consider the over-penetration of the AR.

What's her attorney's name?

I think the 30th is Glock day and a GEN4 will be auctioned off.

If you are considering a .22LR, I would look at either a Bersa Thunder .22, Ruger Mark III, or Browning Buckmark. If you so desire, a S&W M&P 22 or a Ruger 22/45 might be nice. As far as 9mms go, I would make an attempt to try the following: Your choice of Beretta would be fine, especially if you have large hand, but I would prefer a CZ 75B of some kind over it for just pure range fun. A stainless CZ 75B would be awesome, as well as a CZ 75B in single action. Either one of these would be my first choice for you if one could be found, maybe followed by an Armalite AR-24 (CZ clone). A broken-in CZ 75 is a beautiful thing. Next, I would consider either a Browing Hi Power, Baby Eagle II full or semi-compact. On a budget, I would look into a Stoeger Cougar 8000 or a Ruger SR9/SR9C. There are plenty of polymers out there. But, in full-size handguns, you may be limited to one with a 10-round magazine. You cannot go wrong with a Glock 17 or a full-size M&P. OR, even a polymer Baby Eagle II, or a CZ polymer of some sort. Food for thought... fun shooting and incredibly accurate: CZ 75B, versatility... of course the Glock 19. The STI Spartan that was previously suggested might be really nice, especially with a reliable .22 conversion kit. And, if you really considered a Beretta, but you are budget-sensitive, then check out the Taurus PT92, especially the stainless model.

I'd look at a Smith and Wesson 1911...

Find a Bersa Thunder.

Is there anything that suggests that Stanley was abusive?

Yeah, I have coyotes near my house, too. And, they can be noisy. Once in a while when the moon is out I see one that stands in my front yard over my resident groundhog hole. It will wait for a couple of hours for that little guy to show up.

I am not a good shot, but I was easily able to keep all of my shots in a 9-inch plate at 50 feet with this little guy. It is definitely a little noisy with the short barrel, though. The trigger could use a little bit of adjustment. I bet this gun with an Apex trigger would be fantastic. Now if S&W would just come up with a Shield .22LR, or a slide setup. Christmas, as well as Father's Day, would be taken care of.

Go watch the Hunger Games and then get her a bow and some arrows. Make sure they are not hollow point and that you only have 15 in the quiver... And, get some Crimson Trace arrowheads. Is it better to be alive and have some serious legal jeopardy? Has she applied for her own FID card?

Looking for a Bersa Thunder .22LR handgun, especially a Bersa Model 23 of all-steel goodness.

We should contribute to Issa and Grassleys' campaigns and show them we are pleased.

I would shy away from a .22LR revolver... good for learning trigger control, but a PITA to clean, and either cocking the hammer or the hammer pull might not be that much fun for your wife. That said, every firearm battery should have a .22LR revolver. And, there is a good deal on one in the market place. If you are close, you should at least take a look at the Taurus 94. My first choice would be a used Ruger Mark II in good shape. Although, if you don't mind shooting hotter stuff and a DA/SA setup, the Bersa Thunder .22LR might be just the ticket. But, if you are set on 1911, the GSG-1911 or SIG 1911 should work just fine. I would order the stainless guide rod, though.

I wonder if it was hollow point?

Welcome to the forum.

The S&W M&P Shield is everything they say it is in the online reviews. I think it is an awesome, reliable, combat accurate gun.

I agree with Blue. I would not let strangers bow hunt on my property and I wouldn't want the potential insurance nightmare, etc.

Has anybody had any negative experiences with this handgun? Are they durable?

Do these have aluminum slides?

At my local firearms dealer, even though the month had 31 days, I was told that I have to wait until the calendar day of my last purchase. So, if I purchased a handgun on May 15th, I have to wait until June 15th. When I do my calculations and begin with May 15th, there are 17 days in May. So, and it would bring me to 31 days if I buy on the 14th, however, the vendor won't sell until the 15th. He also claims that because it was so confusing the calendar day 14th to 14th, 15th to 15th, etc. was adopted. Is that true? If I purchase a handgun on May 15th, can I purchase another on June 14th like I believe (as outlined by the last poster), or do I have to wait until the 15th? If I can, then why is my dealer giving me a hard time? And, if by some reason I cannot and I have to wait, what happens if it is called in? Is the dealer charged? Would it just get declined and I would have to wait until the next day?

I would love to have one. Do they use the same magazine that the SIG 229 uses?

Well, you could probably turn it in to the local police department, but then you might find it later in the commission of a crime.
