I Own a Gun [Gun Ownership]

I Bought A Gun... I want this gun to be an extension of my hand..I want to feel so comfortable that when I am forced to pull the trigger, the party on the other end knows I mean business.

I have to admit it was a little intimidating..walking into what seemed like the all male club..I I quickly got over that. The men in the aisle actually parted as i walked by..i guess I looked like I meant business.
I tried the 9MM Glock. that is a powerful gun..make no mistake on that one..but the grip was short and thick. the salesman said because it helda larger magazine..that will be my next gun.
I had pretty much made up my mind..I bought the Ruger LCP for a great price. .He was a little surprised i was so decisive. he recommended the ruger revolver. I stuck to my original choice..
What is so amazing is I did not second guess myself..Thanks for my EP friends, I had done my research and this seemed to be the best one for me..It actually looks like a toy gun..We have a 5 day waiting period here and then I take a class in april..

P.S. if you are looking for a man, forget Home Depot..this is the place!

I have found that the 380 is never adaquite not enough take down power . I still prefer a snubby 38/357 or a 45 commander. As we have no waiting period I have owned both. The 9mm is a bare minimum round for me.

i am beginning to think I should have bought the Glock but the grip was too big for my hands..that is what the FBI uses..

I tend to agree. I prefer something in the .40 and above range, without going over .45. Stopping power is a nice label, but in the real world, it depends on a lot of factors. Some attackers can be put down and stopped with as little as one or two .22 LR rounds, but when you can manage to carry a larger caliber, without much trouble, do you really want to bet your life on that? I would much prefer a Ruger snubnose (LCR) in .357 magnum, when a .40 and above is not available.
