Any real gun connoisseurs please look.

the other safeties, like I said, are internal. One is a firing pin block, the other is, i believe, a sear disconnector.

I believe in "You get for what you pay."

Smith & Wesson Performance Center puts out some nice handguns and my personal favorite is the Heckler and Koch USP.

[FESTUS33]

Another great one to look at is the
Springfield XD, it combine's the best
point's of the Glock's,Sig's, and Berreta.
Awsome little weapon.

There are a few things left in our day and age where this aplies and I think pistols is one of them among my fav is s&w, H&k and sprinigfield arms for domestic firearms.

The taurus it talked about alot, they crank the guns out like none other and they seem pretty good too.. not to mension 100$ or more less then the "brand names" they are copied from. out of exeriance though I can tell you you will be sorry if you are looking for anything more then something to "toy" around with and some casual shooting. The ones I've seen then to get loose after a few hundred rounds and start to rattle.

Some of my favs are the 1911 APC .45 made by springfield and the sig p228. For some reason I'm more intriegued by automatics then revolvers... but both are cool...

[Captain Rolleyes]

hahahalol that was too funny.

But hey I guess if you hold a handgun that way you might need one.

[yeahthatsme]

i prefer revolvers, or 40 cal semi's.

i can't tell you much about the glock, other than its a pretty nice all purpose(self defense, target, etc..) \
but for hunting, i would suggest a few of beretta's field shotguns. they are very nice, can get kinda pricy, but are quality, and taken care of are going to last you forever.

i have this one: http://www.beretta.com/frame_tabella...mt=4&Model=686 Silver Pigeon S#

What I noticed with the glocks i've fired, is that the balance will change a lot while firing the gun. When you empty out the clip, it gets forward-heavy a lot more than any other pistol I've fired. Kinda annoying, seeing that it's difficult for me to fire a hand-gun accuratly to begin with.

Honestly, I wouldn't own one myself.

...oh, and did I mention that the 10mm round is REALLY powerfull?

Oh man, I shoot a Baretta Silver-Mallard hunter! I absolutly love it, it's a great hunting gun. All the wooden stock has a matte finish, and the metal has all been blued, so you don't get a bit of glare off it at all. The perfect hunting shotgun

the only thing that I have to complain about it, is that it's a little bit light-weight, which in turn makes for a bit of re-coil... but I'm no wuss!

...oh, that and my dad put a nice scratch on the stock

[Automaggin2]

My cuzin has the Benelli, they are very very nice. I am thinkin about either gettin a Benalli or a Remington 870. I was also lookin at Mossberg, but i dont really like them that much.

YES im not the only one on AO with a 500 sorry i just felt special there for a second

Benelli makes an oustanding product, BUT the Nova is not even close to their normal standards as expected. The foregrip is sloppy, the slide is very long even for a 3 1/2" chamber. They sell a recoil kit; as an option, to slide into the butt stock and for a good reason, the recoil is nasty. I had one and sold it for that reason, i warned the guy that it kicks like a mule before i sold it to him. That is exactly what he told me also after he took it turkey hunting. Yes it is light but your body will pay the price for it. Go Browning pump

I have Smith and Wesson Sigma series .40 cal, well one of the collection. Similar to the Glock and yes very fun to shoot. Little pricey though.

[epterry]

I like the feel of a sig and they have very good quality and, we all know what quaity does
