War Room Lounge V129: Ignored Content Edition

[tonni]

@Gregolian @Falsedawn @HockeyBjj I'm in line at the gun store and its packed. What handgun should I get?

I'm a novice and I'd like my wife to be able to handle it

Are you going to dual wield or no?

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Serious answer: go to a range and try a couple before you buy anything.

I don't think they're open

Absolutely

This is also a good answer.

I don't think they're open

Without knowing more about your experience level, unless you feel like you're in immediate danger, I'd recommend waiting until they are open again.

 

[tonni]

Absolutely

Desert eagle for sure.

Your post in the thread War Room Lounge V129: Ignored Content Edition was deleted. Reason: Off topic; use lounge

haha I got that same message.

someone's trolling us

....sometimes I lose track of what thread I’m in. I can’t tell you how many times I got an obscure OT tag and almost handed out cards for the posts I was seeing and wondering “wtf is going on?”

someone bring me a figgy pudding

Remember when plum jokes were the rage in the Lounge? 2019 seems so far away.

I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and played plenty of Duck Hunt growing up

I think that's what the little old lady with the cane just bought

I love how this guy got famous for shooting random stuff with magnum pistols and now whenever he pulls out the S&W .500:
"God I hate shooting this thing"

If this is intended to be used to protect house and home and you get any semi-automatic handgun get one with a rail for a light. You need to be able to see what you point the thing at and it's easier to shoot with two hands if the light is attached to the gun.

Which one of you mods has the balls to admit they

She empties her magazine, she just flies down the street quicker than her cane can take her.

I never realized how great we had it in 2019

Yeah 2019 ended like shit but the rest of it was pretty cool.

Carry or range?

Greg will try and sell you on a CZ, but i'm all about Sig or Glock for a first handgun. Glock 17 for full size, Glock 19 for compact. In Sig, the P320 for compact, the P365 for a carry gun. All 9mm, so it's going to be the same round.

Most would say a 9mm.

From that I would suggest a Glock 19, 26, or 43. They’re simple to use, simple to take down as well.

Any of the CZ, Smith and Wesson, or maybe Springfield competitors to Glock is good too. Sig also makes excellent handguns but in my experience feel heavier than a Glock or CZ. And are usually more expensive.

.380 Bersa Thunders are nice guns too, they look like the James Bond gun, but .380 is an iffy self defense round for a lot of people.

that’s my 2 cents on the matter. The 26 is smaller than the 19 so it might fit your wife’s hands better

@PolishHeadlock2 like Higus said, have her practice first for safety purposes, but these recommendations above are 10/10. May never actually need it in real life, but on the off-chance you/her ever do, at least you're holding. Plus, range shooting is pretty fun.

Yeah we'll definitely go to the range when we can but for the immediate future it's going to sit in my bedroom closet just in case

I used to think handgun lights were the dumbest shit @PolishHeadlock2
