*** Politics Gun Owners Thread***

so right about when the hacking started i went on a camping trip in PA and did a lot of gun shooting!!

shot my shotty and 10/22 for the first time.

all 25 round 10/22 ruger factory mags jammed on every round

10 rounders worked perfectly with every cheap ammo i had

shotty was a **** ton of fun. ordered a tac light for it yesterday.

also got to shoot a .22 pistol and a glock 9mm (first pistol i shot ever!) hit the target on the first try!

have no idea what complaints people have about the glock in terms of pointing or whatever, i had no problems with it and it was the first time i ever shot a handgun.

This makes me happy.

I want to get a sig P229 .357 sig imo

[DblBarrelJ II]

I'm a fan of the .357 Sig round.

[LirvA]

Is it more or less powerful than .45 ACP iyo

[LirvA]

Are any Taurus semi autos worth purchasing?

Rented a couple guns this week. A Sig P226. Really impressed. I'd shot one before and hated the trigger, but I guess this one had the Short Reset Trigger. Unfortunately, the gun was used so much that the white front sight was barely visible. Still really nice, even if it's still too expensive for me.

Also shot an STI Edge in .40. This is known as a competition pistol by a manufacturer who makes competition trigger. Really light trigger pull. Could shoot it worth crap because I'm not used to it, but I really liked the feel of it.

so i live in NY so unless the mag is made before 1992 im limited to 10 shots

i want to get a handgun though with more than that if possible so i ask the old geezers (neblis, dbl, etc):

any good handguns with pre-1992 mags + 10 rounds?

if not, what's my best option for a handgun 10 rounds or less (no need to be pre-1992 anymore)

The .357 SIG is more "powerful" when discussing velocity.

A .45 ACP has more stopping power. It's a slower moving round with a lot of stopping power due to its size.

Texas DPS had an incident during their transition in which a young cop fresh out of the academy with a 357 Sig was partnered up with a SGT carrying the older 45 ACP.

They were involved in a shootout with a man who was shooting from inside his truck.

After the shooting stopped, they discovered all the hits came from the 357 because the 45 wouldn't penetrate the body of the truck.

However at 10 yards, with no cover, the person shot with the 45 ACP is going to drop faster with less rounds than the .357 Sig.

Which has more recoil?

I'd recommend a Beretta. If you like the 9mm, those Gen 1 G17's are the very definition of indestructible.

Good luck finding a Gen 1 G17 though.

I'm sure you've posted before but what's your EDC DBJ? Caliber?

I assume a glock imo

That's gonna be very much gun dependent.

Out of a 1911, I find the 45 ACP round to actually recoil less than other guns, but that's just my opinion.

GLOCK 22/23/27 depending on what I'm wearing.

Today G22, 2 spare magazines (all 3 marked "Restricted LE/Govt only" because I think that's cool) and a streamlight Strion LED light. Today's holster is a Safariland ALS concealment paddle holster, 2 Blackhawk double stack mag holsters and a Blackhawk flashlight holder.
