and then the the wheel gun tooting thug enters the thread to give advice

yes, double stacks hold more ammo and are more reliable...

But I liked being cocked, locked and ready to rock while some thug is waving his gun aroun.

Also, CZ has a much lower failure rate than those Rubbermaid pistols.

US army did a test with a CZ PO-1, this is what happened...

quote:

Reliability: The U.S. Army "Mean Rounds Between Failure" (MRBF) requirement is 495 rounds for 9mm pistols. During testing of the CZ P-01, the average number of stoppages was only 7 per 15,000 rounds fired. This is a .05% failure rate or an MRBF of 2142!

$1000 will get you any ruger and almost any smith and Wesson. Both are considered top notch self defense revolver manufactures.

If you get a revolver, get a full size gun chambered in .357 magnum. If you think you'll ever conceal carry, get a glock.

Either way, take some classes and learn how to safely use it.

If I was concerned enough about defending myself against people to carry a gun for that purpose, it would be a glock 19, concealed.

Bill Burr's take on the subject


Bill Burr does make a good point about getting a .22. Shooting a gun in the house may leave a person temporarily disoriented. It does make you think.

I was going to update that thread but there is no update because the fricker must read the internet and hasn't returned

I have only seen him once since that morning and haven't heard him once.

Supposedly one of the most dangerous guns to be shot with because of the way the bullet just bounces around inside the target. I don't know if this is true or just urban legend.

I would get a Glock or if you want to pony up the cash get a Sig or HK.

Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm without a doubt

eta: I have one. Great for men and easy for women to shoot comfortable since the size is not over bearing.

Nah. All I own is revolvers.

I didn't buy them for concealed carry though.
