Originally Posted by daves87rs For many folks it's finding the gun and a comfort level. I've never been one that was interested in shooting, but some good friends of mine are taking me out shooting because i now have an interest in it, and in is a good thing to learn! It's never too late to...

I am proud to report my 14 y.o. daughter is no longer afraid of firearms and, more importantly, she is enjoying shooting my SR22. I taught her the safety rules, how a pistol works and how to load, rack & aim the pistol and how to release the magazine. She is a good listener and quick learner, a...

My very first firearm, Ruger SR22, bought in Jan of this year. My 2nd firearm, S&W 9 M2.0, purchased just last week. I really like the weight, feel, accuracy and firepower of the S&W 9.

and she is home. Can't wait to take her to the range. She's a beauty!

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I will post pics in this thread when it is in my possession. Bubba, were the sights accurate right out of the box or did it need adjusting? It is for home defense and I do plan on putting a flashlight on the picatinny rail, but had no idea it would cost in...

Hiya folks! After getting my first pistol, a Ruger SR22, in January of this year and learning how to use it, breaking it down and all the safety rules, I finally feel comfortable enough to upgrade to a 9mm. I just purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P 9 M2.0 with 4.25" barrel. This is where I bought...

In response to Bubbatimes' comment about the P320 discharging when dropped, I researched it further and found this video. What really got on my nerve, from the video, is that Sig doesn't even have a mandatory recall out on the firearm but only a "voluntary" upgrade. That, to me, is poor customer...

Originally Posted by bubbatime You are worried about a safe gun... The Sig P320 has shot about 5 people just from being dropped. The gun lacks a internal trigger safety (likes the Glock has) and has a lightweight pull, which is a recipe for accidental discharges. There are several lawsuits out...

Originally Posted by Huie83 The P320 is a great choice. I've fired them a few times and a buddy of mine has owned one for years, nice guns. They also come in a carry platform. If you are thinking of carrying in the future, check that out. IMO, the regular P320 is way too bulky to conceal...

Originally Posted by hatt Dry firing at home is a great practice tool. You shouldn't let emotions guide your gun choices. Yes, dry firing is great. I do it with my SR22 often. While it's true I shouldn't let emotions guide my gun choices, I'm looking at it as learning from others' mishaps...

Thanks for your input. I like to only pull the trigger to fire the gun and nothing else. Yes, I know, being responsible is key but eliminating the chance of having to touch the trigger to disassemble is important to me. In the hospital where I work there is a patient in critical care because she...

Originally Posted by Bottom_Feeder Sorry, gotta pull the trigger to disassemble the Glocks. But if you follow basic firearms safety then it's not a problem. Glocks aren't the only 'offenders'. I never shot one but the Security 9 feels great in my hand and is by most accounts a highly decent...

Hiya guys, I've come so far from being so afraid to handle a gun to having a great time shooting with my 1 month old SR22 that I can't wait to upgrade to a 9mm. In my quest to research a well built, accurate and fun to shoot without having to pull the trigger to field-strip it, I came up with...

Blaze: sweet surprise, huh? That's going the full 9 yards to satisfy a customer. Great story.

Thanks for all the cautions about the transfer fee from the FFL. My dealer is not charging me a fee at all. He also told me he emailed his info to Ruger already. He's a cool guy who works out of his basement. I'm all set now, just have to wait.

Originally Posted by Astro14 In your case, Eosyn, if the frame was cracked (as I think it might have been) then the gun you get is "new" anyway, because the part with the serial number has been replaced. New serial number = new gun. Ah, I see. It's a new serial number therefore, I must go...
