It's actually mixed mostly between: 1. "OMG me too...what do you shoot" - I was surprised how many friends were closet firearms owners. 2. "Nice...I always heard shooting was really fun" - these friends always want to go again or get their FID after a range session. So far I've never gotten the ultra liberal "all guns should be banned" rant. But I tend to avoid discussing firearms those people (non-friends). But even my uber liberal friends say "I personally don't like guns, but I know you do and that's cool." I guess birds of a feather really do tend to flock together.

Congrats!! I'm assuming she's shot .45 APC already...if not she'll get used to it

Congrats!!! And you can't go wrong with the VP9...good luck!

Honestly you really can't go wrong with the P226. I would also recommend your friend to try: H&K P30 (plus there is a $200 rebate) H&K VP9 Glock 19 Beretta 92fs Inox Glock 22/23 (since he likes .40)

Not a fan of Taurus but very interesting concept. But for me IMHO no sense to look at tiny guns since I can't CCW in NJ

Understood...but you consider $47 ($60 if you add taxes) for sight installation reasonable? I'm all for profit, but as a consumer I'm just trying to save a few bucks.

Stopped by Ottamanellis...asking $180 while Amazon $133! Anyone know where I can get the sights + installed at a reasonable price?

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Simple Darwinism...survival of the fittest. Their products suck and no one wants them. Change that and you will find success. I don't see anyone crying for the Yugo. Good example as remixer mentioned above is S&W... and the market responded. Modern revolvers, and the M&P line of pistols and rifles, have done wonders for them.

Try Insanity if you can't go to the gym: http://www.amazon.com/INSANITY-Base-Kit-DVD-Workout/dp/B002QZ1RS6

Welcome!

Have fun...we'll save some snow for you

Has anyone ever personally used the blaster ammo? Thoughts and reviews?

Oh yeah the Eagle got spanked big time by the Pack...

Giants are just horrible this year...Eli stunk up the joint today.

Very nice!

Great deals there...Glock 23 G4 $450!

I would wait...there will be better firearms out there when she is able to shoot.

I've read somewhere that some Glock owners use a marker to black out the stock rear sight and paint the front sight dot red. May be a cheap and dirty solution to test?

Then I say go for the 9mm Baby Eagle...seems you like the feel, fit, and finish. If you like your Baby Eagle...you can keep your Baby Eagle!

What brand(s) are you looking at? I'm thinking about putting Trijicon HD's (orange front) on one of my Glocks.

Great company and excellent prices. What's not to love? http://www.freedommunitions.com/default.asp#&panel1-1

I love shooting full power 10mm in my Glock 20 G4. Awesome caliber platform and shoots very accurate. But let's face it, it gets VERY expensive after a few boxes. 9mm is a great round and it's way cheaper to shoot. I can shoot almost triple the rounds for the same price. Plus it feels like you're shooting something, unlike shooting a 22LR handgun. What's not to love? - EDiT - Forgot to mention that the Desert Eagle platform wouldn't be my first choice for a 9mm. Prefer the Glock, Sig, and H&K platforms. But you really can't argue with the OP's target pic.

This is probably a good reason why

Blake is correct. Only advantage is there is an increased velocity because of the slightly longer barrel.
