Found one on for 150 bucks Is that a good deal? Is this a good gun lol?
I'm turning 21 soon and I'm looking for a carry gun and to get my permit. I've got a couple revolvers I've been gifted but one isn't really suitable for carry (22 short mini revolver from the 1870s) and the other one has kinda a big frame for me I'm a fairly small guy and it's a Taurus snub-nosed 357. I can shoot both fairly well but the 357 I think is just too big and heavy to carry. I'm also looking at getting my hands on a semi auto. I've got nothing against a revolver I just feel like a semi can be slimer and easier for concealed carry. Any sub $500 recommendations? I'm preferably looking for 9mm or 380 due to availability of ammo just something small and easy to carry. I'm not opposed to shopping used just looking for some Internet experts opinions on what's out there.
Thanks!
Hey guys, I’m turning 21 soon and I was looking for a handgun to purchase (FYI, I live in California). I’ve shot a Glock and a CZ previously and I’m not the biggest fan of Glocks. I’ve been doing research on Staccatos and they seem great but the price is too much. Any recommendations up to $1200-1300?
If you've read my previous posts in this sub then you know that I'm trying to find a gun that is good for home defense. After trying out some guns at the range, I discovered I shoot Glocks the best (specifically 19 and 26).
However I'm worried that I might accidental discharge while in a stress situation. Is there a way I can ensure this doesn't happen, considering Glocks don't have manual safeties?
Also please keep in mind I'm talking about a bedside gun not CCW

Hey guys here’s my small collection of handguns. For just 3 pistols give me a rate out of 10 on my selection and would you mind giving your opinion on what my next one should be? Thanks
I had this gun or a while but upgraded to a Glock 48
Just wanna know what yall thought of it? My bigger issue was the finish would rust. But in terms of functionality how do yall thing it does? Carry’s 12 rounds a came optic ready.
If I buy a custom holster that is meant for a handgun with light, will the gun still be secured if I decide to remove the light?
What's the best way to store extra rounds like in a backpack? Are loose rounds dangerous in any way? How much force does it take to set off the primer?

How fast should my draw be in regards for self defense purposes (not competitive shooting)? I seem to average right at 2.0 seconds currently. Would you consider that ok or suboptimal? Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.
Hey everyone! New to carrying Just turned 21 and I’m a tall guy and got myself a Glock 48
It seems like most people I see on here are appendix carrying. I can’t get myself to feel good doing it. It’s not comfortable and I’m wondering if I legit just am doing it wrong lol but I also fear having a loaded gun pointing at my balls
I have been carrying on the back of my belt like the pic provided. I just wanna hear all the thoughts of you veterans who have been carrying appendix. What are the pros and cons of carrying appendix and carrying the way I have been?
Thanks! All advice helps
States like CA and a few others all restrict the mag capacity to 10. So while guns like the Glock 19 are in theory the best overall, is there really any point to getting one? Why not just get a gun that by default has 10 rounds and is better for conceal carry?
Did not know this gun existed until today but I stopped in a local pawn shop just to browse around for a beater full size and spotted this and made the guy a deal for 350. 3 mags and 2 boxes of ammo included. Took it out and it ran clean, no jams and smooth feeding. however mags are a little weird to load with the wonky bullet shape and with the odd round in case of ammo shortages I’m trying to find a .40 barrel that will fit if anyone has any recommendations.

I am still in the process of doing research, but for someone who is still learning about guns, and I am a bit smaller/weaker frame what would you recommend?
