another what gun should i buy thread..
 
I've been thinking more and more that i need a gun, this gun would mostly be used for plinking on camping trips, and maybe home defense.. i think 9mm is a good enough caliber, cheap ammo and some stopping power, heres the gun im interested in but i cant find any good reviews on it tell me what you guys think

Taurus 24/7 Pro, its costing me $320+ tax

I was looking at those. The cost and the lifetime warranty make me want to get one. Do they fire well? Any complaints?

brand new 9mm for $145? that screams "jammed up when you need it to save your life". they probably offer a lifetime warranty because they assume youll be getting killed while trying to get it to fire properly before it needs to be repaired. :P

That's what I told my buddy who got one to go shoot with some cop friends. They laughed at him too. But 250 odd rounds through the fucker and it hasn't jammed yet. I probably wouldn't get one for carry or home defense, but maybe just something cheap to plink ---- with. All the nogs around here have 'em though, makes them feel gangsta O0

thats great, so between having a cheap gun, and thier stupid sideways gangster aiming, theres only a 15% chance they will actually hit you if they shot at you.

Re: another what gun should i buy thread..
 
Exactly why I fear no O0 that I see on the street unless they are in large groups where random gangsta firing and jamming weapons will still throw enough bullets in my general direction so that I may lose a few hairs off my arms from getting grazed. It's the :8 in MS13 with the scary things

Makarov PA63 is an awesome little gun just a little bigger than the hi-piont but it shoots 9.3x18 instead of 9x19. They can be had for around $150 and have the reliabilty of a police/military issue gun cuz' they were. Perfect for carrying.

Re: another what gun should i buy thread..
 
i think im sellign my glock 22 to a friend of mine and maybe buy something more compact. i'm leaning toward another glock but who knows. the one i have now is a .40 but i had a 9mm glock before and liek the way both shoot so i will get either one. would kinda like a 9 since i have like 7 box's of ammo for it still and there cheaper then the .40.

I have been around a few and the build quality is crap IMO.

Sloppy as hell.

But then again, the last time I was around a Taurus pistol was about 8 years ago.

So yes, I base it on personal experience.

lol, when I go out shooting I put at least a couple hundred rounds out of mine each time. None of my guns have EVER jammed on me. I put several thousand rounds through an AK without ever cleaning it and it still never jammed on me.

Yeah, but that's an AK. You can't compare that to a ------- Hi-Point. The AK was carved from granite by the hands of god and handed down to Mikhail Kalashnikov like the ----------in' ten commandments to Moses. :y

lol, not according to some people. ;) I've probably shot close to 1000 rounds out of my H&K without any troubles at all. I've cleaned it a few times though.

i have only shot about 4-5 hundred rounds through mine, but its only jammed once, and that was the clips fault. all the rounds in the clip put too much pressure on the spring and it forced all of them tip up and wouldnt feed. shitty clips are my only problem with it. and no i dont keep the clip loaded when its not being shot, 1 round only.

---- that. I hear people do that ---- to "save the spring". I'd much rather have to buy a new mag every once in a great long while and have enough ammo to save my ass than keep my spring like new while I run out of ammo when ---- hits the fan. :3 What good is 1 round going to do you if you miss? Then you better hope the other guy only has 1 round or doesn't want to have a gun fight anymore. :-\

That's just a myth, anyway. You're not bending the spring past its elastic limit when you leave the magazine fully loaded. It won't harm it.

Both of my handguns sit with 2 fully loaded clips at all times and they shoot perfectly fine as they sit. I don't care either way though. :-\

i know its not a big macho gun, but once i take my safey class i am getting a bersa thunder .380. its nice and small, easy to conceal, but powerful enough to handle any task.

We have a couple of sawed off's and my brother has a 9mm for home protection.I saw a ad for a compact shotgun that i would like to carry if i ever do again.Only problem is the new gun laws they are passing in my state.... >:(

MerkurColin 02-24-2008 10:16 PM

Re: another what gun should i buy thread..
 
SQ - it's always better to have a .380 in your pocket than a .45 sitting in your sock drawer because it was too big to conceal. :y

believe it or not the grip is the reason i liked it... I held this gun at the dealers and so far i like the grip better than the glock or xd and the price tag doesnt hurt either. Im still a lil worried about reliability though, have you had any issues with jamming, hows the quality?

scottsi 02-25-2008 03:17 AM

Re: another what gun should i buy thread..
 
2 or 3 jams, all round related, reloads = no-no, and UMC didnt drill a hole in the casing connecting the primer to the powder.

What good is a full clip with a fucked spring locked in a safe? I don't use it for home protection, i have a shotgun in a almost every room in the house for that.

Has that ever happened to you? Anybody you know? My guns fire just fine FULLY LOADED. That magazine is NEVER empty for longer than a couple minutes and they shoot just fine. My guns aren't locked in a safe. What good is a loaded gun in a safe anyways? Why even leave it loaded?

If your mind is that spastic, just get a damn revolver :1

Look at the new ruger! She looks pretty good!
17 rounds should be fun to plink with, or the occassional fire fight.

+1

my SKS always has 34rds(30 rd clip lol) and never had an issue, and my 9mm ALWAYS has 2 full clips and fires perfect every time.

KAHR PM9 is ------- sweet. 9mm in an easily concealed package. I think its about 1/2inch thick and like 3inches long (yes just like my penis) MSRP is $750.00 but I've found them brand new at local gun shops for around $525.
