ya good call
the needler rounds will follow your target too.lol somebody plays halo a bit much now dont they?

the thing about the glocks jaming if you hold it too loose.
I tried it a ta range once
tried to get it to jam i held it all different ways,loosely I held it just barley tight enough to where Iwouldnt drop it but it still didnt jam
only time i had a glock jam on me was using bad ammo
and the whole line at the range was jamming up with this shitty ammo.

Stay up there and there won’t be no trouble.

No one’s gonna give you shit if you walk around with one of these…

On a more serious note, I’d get a 6 shot revolver. Or just get a .44 Magnum. Or if you really want to impress, a Desert Eagle .50AE (gonna cost ya). No one survives that beast.

Don’t put the cart before the horse.

Solve the problem you are having with someone, THEN learn how to use a gun and get one. NOT the other way around.

The moment you pull the trigger and realize that destruction or death is the result of pulling it is when you might want to consider buying a gun.

As it stands, you are the last person on earth who should even be near a gun. Scared, insecure, ignorant, and packing are not a good combination.

know what. I agree with this statement alot

here we all are commenting on what guns to get and what not.

but this guy knows othing about them and he is getting harrassing calls that has scared him into getting a gun.

Is anyone on this thread familiar with the process involved in getting a firearm in Canada?

Training? License? Do we even allow people to carry concealed up here?

Great gun. I’ve had one for over 5 years and it has NEVER jammed, not once. Glocks are very simple guns, the trigger IS the safety, point and shoot. They are very easy to maintain because they have very few moving parts.

Though, I would say it is a bit big for concealed carry, but that also depends on how you plan on concealing it.

If it’s for home, get a shotgun. 12 guage if you can handle it effectively, 20guage if not. 18.5 inch barrel with #4 buck shot either way.

If it’s truly for carry, think very carefully about your abilities and be objective. Don’t let your ego get between you and an agressor.

If you don’t have extensive experience with a handgun or shooting people, or cannot sustain that practice, consider a double action only revolver. Also consider if someone else (untrained significant other) may need to use it. If so, another good reason for DAO revolver.

Immediate actions for stoppages in semi-autos are complex (nearly impossible) when you’re in “conditions red/gray/black” (read Grossman, Siddle or Applegate). But a DAO revolver is simply point, click, repeat if needed.

I prefer a S&W 640 (snub nose with internal hammer in .357 mag). I got it in Alaska where we didn’t need a CCL. When I got to Texas, I asked one of the CCL instructors (off-duty cop) what he thought of the 640.

He grinned and lifted the bottom of his polo exposing the handle of a 640 sticking out of his front right jeans pocket.

Seriously, you need to think this through and know your own limitations.

And we should. You think we came to rule the world by being nice?

lol

To the OP. Why not get a tazer or a stun gun ? Simple as that, but i agree with who ever said that. If i were to get my self pistol for self defense i would definitely go with a desert eagle :smiley: Or a P90 for home defense!

I hate it when people say shit like this, because somebody might take them seriously.

Americans have guns because, if push comes to shove, that’s how we will keep the government in line.

The only trouble is the government has bigger guns!

Can you, or someone else, please explain what you mean when you say, “the trigger is the safety.” I’ve noticed this on glocks, but I don’t understand how it works.


The trigger safety is built in. Meaning the trigger can’t be pulled without an actual finger on it. Ref the photo…

Glock calls it “safe action”. Check out their web site:
