Been contemplating buying a handgun for a while to do some target shooting stuff with my dad and some buds. I don't really know what I want tho, and I also don't really know how the used market works and what to watch out for.
.45 or 9mm?
Brand/model?
New/used?
Gimme your thoughts, gun dudes

I laugh for no reason sometimes. It can be a problem.
I don't know what kind of hand gun to buy, but I have thought the same thing. The problem is that some in town gun clubs don't allow hand guns. I don't want to have to drive too far to shoot at targets. That is why I really enjoyed shooting skeet this past Saturday, it was less than 10 minutes from where I lived!

Musket

Do you need my help?

Sure

9mm. Less expensive ammo as well as weapons.
Used from a dealer is my recommendation.

a handgun is going to be harder for you to use, it's harder to aim. buy a shotgun. get a double barrel shotgun.
-
I'm very good at aiming handguns, sys.
(very good at aiming shotguns too)
-
i guess you're one of the new sort of group that never hunts at all. you prolly just like the way it feels, like driving a ferrari. but guess what, use a shotgun and you don't kill your kids.
-
I am childless, sys
-
The 'necks I know hate Glock, if that helps.
-
Pretty boxy
-
I like to target shoot with a Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 9mm.

If you're really interested in purchasing a gun, go to a range that rents different guns. They will help you find one that suits you. In Louisville, it's $20 or so for the lane, $15 for the weapon rental and another $20 for a box of ammo. Your prices may vary.
-
I shoot a Walther PPX 9mm. It's the most comfortable pistol I've ever fired. Rent one at your local range of you'd like to try one.
-
Is there a bigger waste of money than paying to shoot a gun? Probably not.

I grew up with a lot of unsupervised time, and would watch tons of cable television. As a result, I feel like I can probably handle myself with a Bowie knife in tight spots. So, I don't have much need for a hand gun.

The Judge.

there's a guide down in the comments

-
The people that don't like Glocks seems to like Sig's okay. The one major problem with 9mm is that when the next transgender psycho Immam kills a bunch of people and the dem's start firing up the gun control machine the popular calibers like .223/5.56 or .308 or 9mm or 22LR fly off the shelves and are very hard to find. So like a .40 cal might be better in that instance. You could probably get out ahead and buy ammo bulk, like 500 or a 1000 rounds at a time. Why not start with a little target 22? Those things are pretty fun and shoot straight.
-
Actually, a .22 is a great suggestion.
Royals aren't gonna win 'em all
-
I have a penis guys, let's shut that .22 nonsense down right now.
Also I think my dad's reloader is set up for .45 rounds so that would be a consideration maybe
-
Which is better: a Dirty Harry gun or a Sonny Crockett gun?
-
The judge shoots .45 rounds and 410 shotgun shells I believe.
-
lib would make some great "am I the only one" memes. Def get the 1911 in .45.
-
I'm thinking that the Dirty Harry gun looks a little more scary and intimidating than the Sonny Crockett gun. If you have that gun, you seem like you'd be a little more dedicated to being a killer.
-

This sounds correct. I'm looking for crockett, but black instead of silver
-
If I were to get a gun, I would get a shotgun.
If I were to get a handgun, I would get a .50 AE Desert Eagle.

it's been awhile since I have been in the game, but my recco's would be a Smith and Wesson M&P in .40 or .45, or a Springfield 1911 in .45.
you could also get a taurus revolver. revolvers are more reliable and easier to clean than pistols, and imo, are more fun to blast inanimate objects with.
-

I really would like to try shooting a Judge without having to buy one.
Also, 410 shotguns are ridiculous fun.
-

I would also really like to shoot the DE. I would imagine that a few shots would equate to a full arm workout.

lil Mikey had a 410. I miss it sometimes.

DE's are probably too expensive
-
Isn't Kimber the leader in the 1911 game?
-
Hmm, I was going to ask if kimbers are good or not
-
kimbers are fantastic, just $$$, from what i remember.
-
lib don't be one of those guys that has a $3000 1911.
-

a good man right here. responsible. won't kill his children.
-
Well I'm not spending $3000 I can tell you that
-
I have a Sig P238 that I enjoy shooting. It is good equipment.
-
is it your first time owning a gun if you do purchase one?
taurus has really stepped their game up recently i just bought a 9mm from them and i love it, s & p is also great if you want a 45. reuger is crap now dont buy that
hope that helps
-
Yes, so far I have infringed myself from owning a gun
-
I'm supposed to be inheriting a shotgun and have for a while and still haven't seen it. It's a wonder I've made it as long as I have.
-
Get a CZ-75. Based in Kansas City and one of the best handguns you can get. Get 9mm.
-

not to be a jerk but could you be more specific as far as to why? (home defense, blow off steam, kill something, ect)
-
I've always been partial to SigSauer.
Not a big fan of the grip on Glocks.
Ruger is a good, solid, cheap brand for plinking.
-
Also, .40>9mm
-

The op was pretty clear that I want to target shoot with buds and family. I will never kill anything with a gun. Home defense is the least of my worries and really one of my biggest oppositions to owning a gun is contributing to gun crime if it happens to get stolen (unlikely, but it would easily be the most valuable thing to thieves that I own)
-
I have a Ruger SR45 that I really enjoy shooting. Any of the Ruger SR models would be good, fairly inexpensive handguns to purchase, especially for target shooting.
-
Lib, I would think a smaller gun would be easier to conceal into a movie theater for judging those who are too loud. Not sure the overall size of the ones recommended so far, but keep that in mind maybe. :dunno:

9mm it is
-
My concept of shooting people with a gun doesn't include scenarios in which the person is in my house. I'm either in the city streets serving up vigilante justice or in the Wild West where it's either gonna be him or me.
-
So somebody just steals my safe too? Psh
-
If I were to buy a gun, I'd go for something with really common and relatively inexpensive ammo. So would that be 9mm?

But as mentioned, subject to shortages and hording. "Common" might be swapped with "popular."

if all he is doing is target practice i can get him all the ammo he wants, i just need the casings back

I have no concern for ammo shortages, I'm not some prepper nutbag

i think i've averaged using maybe 3-5 ammos/year or so over the last 20 years. it pretty much lasts forever (i hope, someone post at me if it goes bad after a while).
-

3-5 ammos/year
Are you talking about clips or magazines?

I shot 3 boxes on Saturday.

Two words Smith and Wesson

Also, .40>9mm
by price only
-

I was going to point out how obviously misogynistic this post is, except that I have a .22 and do not have a penis. I don't think the two are related though.
-
Come to Wichita and I will take you to a ranges that will let you try whatever make and model you want. no rental fee you just have to buy there ammo (not ridiculously priced either).

You could also shoot a couple different :sdeek: AR-15's I own.

The .308 AR might actually give him a shoulder bruise.

Rifles and shotguns have way more utility than handguns.
-
Too bad he isn't looking for utility dumbass
-
I think an items utility should be central when deciding on any purchase.
If you aren't concerned with an item's utility when making a purchase, might i suggest considering the SLOTDOG in the near future.

Please. It's a short action caliber in a semi auto gas powered platform. A goddamned baby could shoot that and not drop its pacie.

here is the repeat enjoyability ranking of guns for non-hunters:
1. ruger 10/22 with a few 30rd magazines
2. a .22 pistol
3. 870 youth model
4. .308 that you sight in at 800yds
5. a dedicated trap shooting gun
6. a dumb pistol that you shoot twice and then only bring out of its case to show your friends after a couple beers
everything after the first 3 is more expensive and requires a lot more effort to enjoy
-
You're probably right bubs
I think I decided now I don't want one, mods you can close this thread
-
I'm thinking that the Dirty Harry gun looks a little more scary and intimidating than the Sonny Crockett gun. If you have that gun, you seem like you'd be a little more dedicated to being a killer.
General rule is Harry's gun, and Sonny's car/boat/alligator.
-
The ruger .22 with the banana clip is a blast to shoot.
-
A buddy and I used to go to this railroad trestle when we were kids, when the creek below was frozen. We'd shoot up some ice with his 20ga, then toss the spent shells onto the ice, and then shoot the brass with the Ruger 10/22. Those shells would fly 20 feet up in the air sometimes. Really fun.

Tubb's crazy folding shotgun was the gun star of that show

Picked up a Taurus PT 111 G2 today. $250 with a sticky holster. Heck of a deal if you're still contemplating a handgun .

I've shot a gun one time. It was some sort of rifle. Shot at some Pepsi cans. One of the bullets I shot went right through the circle Pepsi logo. Aim small, miss small.

Food for thought: do you have any pockets of time in your history that you cannot fully recall? If so, you might be a highly trained sleeper agent of some sort. It will probably kick in of you are ever in a life threatening situ, so let that be of comfort to you and your family. Grats, bro.

You're probably right Pete because a few weeks ago I stood up to get out of my car and my phone was on my lap and started to fall to the ground and I hacky sack kicked it with the side of my foot and then caught it before it hit the pavement. That's a true story.

OK. Most reasonable next step for you is to stake out a safe house where you can take cover WHEN they discover that you are now "aware." Also, you almost certainly can speak other languages, you just don't know it yet. Try watching some foreign films and/or eastern block porn or something and see which ones start making sense to you. This will come in handy when you need to flee the country.

No offense bro, but that's a stupid question. On a huge gun blog like this one, it's a given that we do. You can just skip to your specific question about your heater of choice and sit back and drink in the ocean of gun knowledge that will come your way.
Very Truly Yours in Gun Ownership,
