thebug Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Had a hand gun, but had to get rid of it in a hurry. I don't think they will find it?
DrDawkinstein Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 do not have any currently, but am in the market for a simple 9
stuckincincy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 do not have any currently, but am in the market for a simple 9 Buy a revolver. .357 Mag, which also chambers .38 Special. You can use proper bullets, some of which cause problems with a semi-auto. Safer, and much more reliable. I'm assuming you want a piece that you hope you never have to use - don't buy one of the cheap semis - false economy. If you are bent on a 9MM, IIRC Ruger or Taurus sells a revolver so chambered. I recommend purchasing a used revolver from a local gun shop. And get some training.

What was that finger print safe thing you linked a while back? That sounded like a great idea for someone worried about storage.

Very good rep. Thanks for the advice guys! You assume correctly, Cincy. I was looking at some different Taurus models before. I'll check out the Ruger too. and yes, I have some experience with guns but would definitely get some more if I was going to keep a gun in the house.
dpberr Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I own three handguns, a rifle and a shotgun. Competitive shooting is a hobby I've participated in since my early teens.
