What would your 1st hand gun be?

What are your opinions on a Ballester Molina .45? My father had one when he lived in South America. I want to get a Ballester but it is almost the the same as a Colt 1911. I am going for my pistol permit and I am trying to decide which pistol to get.
Mine would be a 1911 .45 long slide. Not over compensating or anything

Think it would be enough to put a hole through my neighbor's stereo from my side of the wall? Getting a little sick of hearing their music at 11:46 pm on a night I have to work the next day...BoostMonger;1896088 said:Mine would be a 1911 .45 long slide. Not over compensating or anything
1st hand gun is my FM HI POWER 9MM.
Just bought a new gun yesterday. S&W 40 tactical. Put abut 30 rounds through it so far.
Next will be a Springfield XD or Glock 27

What we did the other day
.22 Ruger MK3 with silencer had no problem going through this dvd player at 75ft
Neither did my S&W 40

hmmm I've always favored the .45 acp cartridge (think 1911, usp, mk23)... although I wouldn't mind having a .460 for long-range bear hunting
Been looking at getting either a Sig Sauer .45, Springfield .45, or possibly a Glock .40. In the wake of the recent shooting, it looks like my decision may have to come relatively quickly, before the government reprimands our 2nd amendment rights.
Like I told my girlfriend last night, you can't legislate crazy away. If someone intends to do something like this, gun control laws aren't going to stop them. I sincerely doubt it would even be a hindrance. If they take away gun rights from law abiding citizens, the people that will still get them will be the criminal element. Much the same as today, the criminal element does not have a difficult time acquiring firearms.mk3_4me;1899874 said:
If anything, restricting gun possession to only law enforcement would only serve to put law enforcement in more danger. If only one or two people are armed, they quickly become priority targets. However, if the number of armed people is unknown... it serves as a deterrent.
All that said, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see the current administration try their damn best to make it happen.
I told some ingrate that thought we should ban all guns the truth: the cat is already out of the bag.
Anyone with basic chemistry knowledge and some pretty basic tools and supplies can make a gun and ammunition in their garage. Sure, it's illegal as all hell, but do you think criminals give a shit about your laws?
Seriously, we've been making crude guns for over a thousand years, you really think you can put the cat back in the bag now?

Much like I told the girlfriend, take away the guns, people will still find means to act on crazy impulses. Pipe bombs are silly amounts of easy, and if strategically placed/used, one could cause a lot more of a death toll than what happened this week...
what would be my first handgun?
glock 26, for ccw of coarse. im a huge believer and supporter of our 2nd amendment right.
one or two armed law abidding citizens could have stopped those cowards. but ppl still think a gun free school is a safe place :nono:

I was about to buya remington 1911... although I like the ruger's a bit better (1911).... also USP .45 is a good possibility. I would be buying one of these (probably the ruger) if I weren't about to buy another supra.
I can say I've shot an old 1911 and the handling/accuracy (even not aiming) was excellent.
And yes criminals don't give two flying fucks about laws or regulations. All they care about is supply and demand (just look at what a failure prohibition was). Or for that matter the absurd increase of handgun murders in Chicago DURING the handgun ban.

So, I've finally decided on my first....well it was decided for me.
Little back story.
A couple of months ago I was discussing CCW with my gf. I was bitching as usual about being left handed, and the brass ejecting across my field of vision. She said that her brother built guns, and had a couple of cnc machines in the shop behind his house. So she called him up, and we spoke for a bit. What I heard thru the tech talk was basically " u gotta live with it dude".
Turns out he is VP of STI, and there are 6 of those 4 axis cnc machines in the shed out back...he owns Force Productions. Yeah, he might know something about guns I guess.
Lol, my first will be a 1911. Hopefully with a healthy family discount.
