you’re comparing Honda Civics to Toyota Corollas..... both a good budget guns! I’d trust a Glock over most other guns with my life.
Gun Shopping: I need a handgun - Home Defense <$500 (Porn Inside)
I don't know if it's posted but this gat is cheap and reliable. I only know about it because my boy bought one. Hi-Point 34010PI 40 Cal.
This video sold me on it.

Just came in here to see if anyone was talking optics, an this caught my attention. It ain't just you with that P365, I bought that shit for my wife, and I don't l
I had a G23, it was my 1st handgun. Bad choice for a 1st gun but I got it for super cheap. Just traded it not too long ago for the P10C and I love this shit! Bought my wife the P365, can't shoot that shit either. Put the sig laser on there that they made for it and sighted it in, but the shit just too small for my hands.
Just ordered the Extar EP9, I will provide updates when I get my hands on it. The shit take 1-2 weeks to ship
You're gonna love that extar! Lightweight, reliable, accurate. Mine took close to 2 weeks to ship as well.Just came in here to see if anyone was talking optics, an this caught my attention. It ain't just you with that P365, I bought that shit for my wife, and I don't l

I'd rather add $50 and get a Taurus G2C
Great to hear. Did you throw any accessories on it? I’m looking at reflex sights right now and angled fore grip. That’s all I want to do.
Cheap angled foregrip off of Ebay or amazon.
Iron sights.
I have a cheap sight laser combo but It keeps malfunctioning. Going to spend a little more for better quality. That's all I've f
Done to it so far. Oh and a 33 round mag. This is a must lol
Just got my first range time in. I really like this joint, fun to shoot is an understatement! I need more mags now. I got 2 27pmags need 2 more
How do y'all feel bout the HK P930L vs Glock 19 as a 1st handgun?
Can't speak for either but the HK VP9 is a nice accurate and smooth shooting firearm. The same with the Glock 17L. It's all about the grip though because my grip on most Glocks I've tried was shit.
Two entirely different guns. The P30 (I'm assuming that this is what you mean, as there is no 930) is hammer fired, while the G19 is striker fired. Both are solid in terms of reliability, fit, and function (although the HK is a tad more expense). I would say it comes down how each fit in your hand comfortably. Some folks don't like the ergonomics of Glocks, where others don't like HK triggers, or vice versa. I'd advise that one should go and finger bang (and shoot) both, to figure out which is the best fit for YOU. If you are asking for my opinion, and I were forced to choose one. I'd go with the G19, as the best all around firearm of the two. FWIW, I do own both. If we are comparing HK VP9 vs the G19, I'd still select the G19.
Yeah typo on my part for the HK

I recommend a Glock 19, extremely safe and reliable pistol. Do not be concerned that a Glock does not have a safety if you follow this simple rule. A round should only be chambered when you have the gun on your person. If the gun is in a safe place a round should never be chambered this will prevent accidental shooting. furthermore a child does not have the strength to chamber a round in the gun.
Firearm Condition Readiness: Condition 0, Condition 1, Condition 2, Condition 3, Condition 4 — What Do They All Mean?
Firearm conditions are primarily a way to declare the readiness of the weapon. For instance, if you’re on the firing line and the range safety officer calls out “cease fire, cease fire, unload, show, clear — weapons at Condition 4” — it’s helpful to actually know what that means.
In this case, Condition 4 is pretty much the universal “safe”. There is no round in the chamber (because you visually inspected) and the magazine is out of the firearm. With these two stipulations, the firearm can quickly be inspected by a range safety officer or other suitable person to be determined if it is clear and safe for handling.
Whenever you’re passing a firearm off to someone else, it’s always a great idea to put that firearm in Condition 4. That person should always then inspect the firearm to ensure it is clear. This really cuts down on any chance of a negligent discharge.
In this article, we’ll discuss the different condition ratings commonly associated with Single-Action/Double-Action and striker-fire pistols. Not all pistols will need to pass through each condition. In fact, when I was in the Marine Corps, there were commonly only 4 conditions associated with most of our weapon systems. It seems there’s an added “Condition 0” included nowadays — which just goes to show I’m getting old.
*Condition 0 — Magazine inserted, round in the chamber, safety off.
Condition 3 — Magazine inserted, no round in the chamber.
So, as you can see, Condition 0 and 1 are separated only by a manual safety. The firearm is loaded, hammer to the rear, and a round is in the chamber. This firearm should be handled with caution and treated with respect (at ALL conditions – but especially these two).
While condition readiness truly applies to little outside the range environment, it is something that we consider in our situational awareness. For instance, many concealed carriers carry in Condition 3. That’s because they don’t want to have a round in the chamber.
For those who carry 1911 variants or SA/DA pistols, Condition 2 is extremely common.
For striker-fire (Glock 19, etc.) carriers who feel confident in their carry abilities, Condition 0 is common.
It comes down to familiarity with the firearm, competency with its mechanics, and confidence that you can use it without doing harm to yourself or others unintentionally.
Condition readiness is a great way to communicate to other firearm operators where you’re at and where they need to be. More importantly, it’s a great way of communicating safety.
So, next time you hear a range safety officer say, “go to Condition 1”, you know to make ready and be prepared to have a great day at the range.

- For SA/DA — Hammer is back.

Dont get a hi point man. Just save your money to get a ruger if that's your situation.

Those 9's travel notoriously. That's why I prefer the 40 for home security.
If you look at recent history, gun and ammo prices go up no matter who the POTUS is. That being said, I'm really digging my S&W .40 and .45 cals. Especially the .45.

Gun prices in Tennessee have gone up a little.
Ammo prices are what’s crazy.
A box of 9mm (50rds) is going for $40...IF you can find any.

i love Taurus's.....got 3 of em.
Taurus gets a bad rap, but to be honest, they've earned it, but I ain't knocking them. Hi Point also gets a bad wrap for their handguns, but my Hi Point 10mm assault rifle has been great!
Gotta agree that if chambered, safety or no safety won't make a big difference. Best safety is a quick safe, or way up on that top top shelf, that's it. Unchambered, might have a chance with younger kids, but 6, 7, or 8 that plays war games and nerf guns, no chance.
Love my .40 G2C. No problems so far
man i sold my Hi Point a few years ago. that is one ugly ass gun. its cheap and can get the job done, but dammit that shit is ugly, heavy, hard to conceal, uncomfortable...u name it.....lol.
I carried 9mm for most of my life in the Beretta while serving. It’s like an extension of me really. Had lasers on it since I was specialized in a cert. Also did a lot of competitions with it. You can rack it on your foot if needed and it’s very reliable but I picked up the Hellcat and put about 100 rounds through it and I like it lol it’s micro 9mm but it’s nice with it. Thing is so small it’s ridiculous. Very accurate on range too.
That's way too high regardless of whether it's FMJ or JHP unless it's a box of 100. I got 50 Sig Sauer Crown JHPs for $46 about 2 weeks ago.
