I love my Glock 23 (the .40SW mid-size), it's PERFECT. Holds 10+1, the ergonomics are great. I have trijicon sites in place of the stock sites and they are fantastic. The 19C that I have, the full sized 9mm with the Compensated barrel... shown here...

... is wonderful to shoot. The 9mm hardly has any recoil at all, especially from a longer barrel like the 19 has, but the barrel compensator more than makes up for any recoil reduction that may not have been present with such a naturally light firearm.
When it really comes down to it, pistol wise, the HK .40 USP Compact is my favorite. It has the same recoil dampening system that the Tactical model, issued to SEALS, has. Also holds 12+1, which is as much as the smaller model 9mm.

Thats just such a perfect gun. Much like newer Ruger pistols, it has a trigger system (Called the "Law Enforcement Modification" or LEM). After your first shot (which is a nice clean break), the trigger pull is GREATLY reduced, from about 8 to about 3 or 4. Makes the next shots nice and easy to s-q-u-e-e-e-z-e through. It's just so fun to shoot. The weight is perfect for carry and probably enough that you could pistol whip the shit out of someone and knock them out. Again, trijicon sites are a must for any low-light shooting.

And, of course, if you are gonna be shooting your gun at something, you want to make sure you can SEE IT... http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/prrfnbr/198/sesent/00
 A blinding light made for combat, two handed fire use per the Rogers/Surefire 'method'

The flashlight is held like ...

So that the user simply pulls back on the two first fingers on the flashlight hand and the unit is pulled back so that the tailcap presses the users thumb and turns on. These lights are BLINDING bright. Brighter than a brand new 4 D cell maglight.
Guns are so fun

you'll not find the gun at a range
velocity - 2547 energy - 14560 charge - 2 + 255 (2 grains of Alliant Bullseye fo an ignighter and 250 grains of VVN for the powder charge)
the round is actualy a .700 nitro express, the .88 magnum comment was from a movie called Johnny Dangerously

with that AR you should find one of those large plastic drums, fill it with water and take a couple shots at it... I think you'll be impressed at how much air the drum gets with a .223

blueferret said: I have an S&W sigma 9mm too one of the best $300 investments I ever made. How does it compare to the .40? I was told by the guy at the gun shop that I probably wouldnt see that much difference between them. And if I was just looking to go shooting the 9mm came with 16 round clips instead of 10 round for the .40, and ammo was cheaper.
The .40 is quite similar to the 9mm. A little more kick, but that is expected. Main differences are price of ammo and ballistics.

blueferret said: Also anyone looking at a clock might consider a sigma. The origonal design was so similar to the glock that glock sued S&W over it.
The main differences are the magazines(Sigmas use metal instead of plastic, and the Sigmas are skinnier), fully supported chamber in Sigma(unlike the Glock which you can't safely shoot reloads from), Glock uses octagonal rifling and Sigma uses regular. I like the grip angle on the Sigmas(same as 1911s) way more than Glock.
One thing some people may consider a negative point of the Sigmas is the trigger, it's pretty heavy. There is an easy modification that takes the pull down considerably, but I waited to do it. After firing the Sigmas for ~2 months, I got used to it. They definitely improved my skills with all handguns. Forced me to learn more proper technique.

True. Only problem I have with that is functionality. I like to be able to carry my pistols with confidence. When I shot the compensated piece at night, the flash left me partially blinded making follow-up shots difficult.

Nah, meant like the CIA, but then i thought about it more, and you might not have even been in the US military or such.
I never took into account that you could have been in a foreign military or LE position.
Woops.

Remington .300 mag (my sniper rifle) w/ a cold rolled precision bull barrell. Remington 1100 12 ga done short barrel police tactical, but I have a skeet barrel for it too. (my wifes' "blow away a burgaler" gun) Springfield Armory .40 S&W XD (my carry gun) Barretta 12 ga over-n-under (my bird gun) Winchester .243 lever action rifle (my deer rifle) An old 45-70 cowboy style saddle carbine ( i never shoot it, worth $$) Most of an M-14.... missing a pin A WW2 Thompson with the 30 rnd straight clip (never shoot it either, but it's a full auto! )
I want this really prime M1 Garand a shop near my house has, bad. I'd totally turn it into another sniper rifle. I also really want a Barrett .50 BMG, but I can't justify the cost to my wife... If I could get a Class 3 licence, I'd buy an AA12.

My mighty air rifle would piss on all the above. At the same time. With its raw power it can take down a crow at upwards of 20 yards. Makes you feel like an elite SS sniper. I'd post a pic but its such a new and experimental weapon that the public can't buy them and I had to serve with MI5 for 250 years before I was allowed one myself.

Man. I would put that full auto Thomson ( Tommy gun ) to use. Wipe off the dust and shoot the hell out of some shit.
I went to the Houston gun show on 1-22. All they had for sale was replica Tommy guns that are semi-auto. I also saw a fully auto Grease gun that shoots 460 rounds per/min. It was $3,500. Out of my budget. Damn I wish I was rich.

Here's a shot of the AR-15 assault rifle in use. Couldn't catch the flame at the barrel's end. This gun is too much fun.
