You need to make sure you get the right rounds so penetration through walls isn’t an issue. You hit a neighbor on accident you will be super ****ed. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.usc...ense-ammo/amp/ https://www.pewpewtactical.com/home-...erpenetration/ Some people say it’s not something to worry about but I have seen rounds penetrating through walls and blowing through rooms into the next wall. Lots of times |

And **** revolvers. 15 rounds much better than 6. Heavy double action trigger pull which can make you more likely to miss. You can cock the hammer to get a single action pull, but if you do, and then need to uncock it because the burglar alarm went off because a door wasn't shut quite right, while it's loaded and you're half awake, heart pounding and ears ringing, your thumb might slip off the hammer while you have the trigger depressed and you just might have a negligent discharge in your house. And really regret telling people about it later. Trust me on this. :grr: 1911s are kind of next level guns. Harder to disassemble and maintain, and they all have external safeties that you will likely forget to disengage in a crisis situation. I won't carry one and, and my 1911s all live in my safe. Shotguns are effective, but bulky and harder to manipulate, especially if you're a novice fumbling around in the dark. Again you have the external safety issue. Same goes with ARs or similar rifles. Get a Glock 19, and for home load it with good defensive rounds. Learn how to use it and maintain it. Take a class. Practice using it until you can reliably hit what you're aiming at. And remember, merely owning a gun isn't enough; it's a tool, not a talisman against evil. You have to be prepared to use it, and use it correctly. |

The odds of it happening are slim to none, but it's similar to the revolver vs semi auto debate. You're trusting your life on them not seeing a reflection, just like you're trusting your life on the semi auto not jamming. Survival is always about eliminating the what ifs. |

Find a friend and ask him to slap you really hard. Personal defense isn't a ****ing beauty contest. If you want to get a cool gun just because it looks cool, well that's okay. BUT NOT FOR YOUR FIRST PURCHASE. That shit comes later. For a novice, much later. I've got a couple of gorgeous, expensive 1911s that never leave the safe unless I want to take them to the range. They're fun to shoot and other people oooh and aaah over them. That's all they're good for. Again, get a Glock for your first gun. It's uglier than a bulldog's asshole, but that matters not one bit. |

Excluding hammerless handguns.
I dnt understand the big difference between having the hammer fully cocked with the safety on or having the hammer in half cock position with the safety off. Either way. You have to manually move the hammer to full cock or the safety to the off position.. But when I took the CC class. They made me holster my 1911 in full cock with the safety on. I'd never carry it loaded this way. |

I have considered this as well. Why do they even make chrome pistols if it provides such a tactical disadvantage? Quote:

Calmate, esé! Lol. I was wondering if you'd chime in. I'm scared to death of an accidental discharge. Rest assured, I'm not the type to dick around with guns. To be honest, I don't even particularly enjoy shooting at the range. Ideally, I'd just make a couple purchases and these bad boys just sit in a safe in my closet for the rest of my life. If I'm lucky, I'll never have to bring them out except to clean them. I have held a few glocks but I've never shot one. They feel cheap to me. Like they're toy guns or something. The glock 19 is the most popular handgun, though, IIRC. I'll consider it. |

Stainless is another chrome appearing material. It has several advantages similar to nickel plating and when polished can create a very functional and eye appealing piece. I own a stainless Ruger Mark3 with a bull barrel that I absolutely did not need when I bought it. :thumb: |

We all have the right to own guns, but they're not for everybody. I gave a Glock 19 to my FIL for Christmas a couple of years ago, but it wouldn't surprise me if he keeps it in a box in the attic with his .22. He's never expressed any real interest in shooting it or learning how to properly use it. I probably should have just gotten him a sweater and kept it for myself. |

https://onlineguncompany.com/product...acp-5-8rd-sts/ Here's the gun in question, FYI. It's a good looking piece, IMO. I don't feel so bad knowing you guys have been duped into making similar purchases. I guess humans just really like shiny shit. |
Not to get political but ATF at it again
