Bought my first hand gun

My father had a Walther PPK .22, the James Bond gun that he got from a friend of his at Los Alamos back in 1967 prior to going to Vietnam. Last year, my father passed his PPK to me. During all the...

Re: Fired handguns for the first time

Thanks. I didn't think about a pawn shop. I will have to check them out. There are a number of them in my area, though I have never been in one. This will be a good excuse to make it a first time.

Re: Fired handguns for the first time

I love the 1911, but I heard that it is also very expensive, something in the range of being closer to $2000. I have not been to a gun shop yet to find out for sure, but if what I heard is true,...

I have to laugh at what you said because it is SO TRUE! I showed my wife your post and she had a good laugh as well. Considering that our friend ex-husband was and still a military man (I didn't...

Re: Hand gun for self defense and home protection

Alpo, thanks for your quick reply. Would a 38 or 380 be better than a 45 and not have as much of a kick? I saw something that mentioned a 40? My fear with the 45 is that it has such a high kick...

Hand gun for self defense and home protection
