I was more thinking a vantage point for keeping an eye out. It has garden space too, so if somebody has seeds, that's an option for a food source.

Forgot the reasons...... Glock for simplicity, reliability, and ease of use under stress. Interchangable mags with the smaller frames. Backup/second/third gun is ALWAYS same caliber.
I grew up on 1911’s and love them to death, but with 8 rounds between reloads, they just can’t stay in the fight nowadays with turds carrying 100+ rounds when a Glock with 3 spares gets me 60-70+, but a 1911 with 4 spares still sits at 41.
DPMS because I like them. Next is a full custom though. .556 because with the right ammo, it’s a great choice.... lots of rounds with little recoil. But, it doesn’t do well against many “hard barriers”, so I’m researching having a 16” .308 built for barricade/automobile situations.
Why a .12? Because there are still some distances/situations that if you have notice, nothing beats a shotgun.
Winchester .94? May sound a little silly, but they’re small as hell, have no attachments to snag on anything, and you have 7-8 rounds that will punch through any soft armor out there and do extensive damage on tissue, unlike the .556.
Very interesting.....
A bit surprising....from sound of it your in law enforcement or some sort of security job
I would have thought you would shy a bit away from the 45 cal....while a nice round years ago....it's kinda fat....so guns buy necessity carry less....and no real advantage....9mm .357 Sig..or 10 seem like they offer more?
So give me a pros opinion?
I mean I love 1911.....but I am not doing it for living....and I just like it cause it's FUCKING cool as fuck

A childhood friend is a SSA and firearms instructor for the FBI in a major SW field office. He is personally a die-hard .45 guy, however he got to take part in the last round of ammo testing the FBI did at Quantico, in which they made the decision to go back to the 9mm. He now personally carries the 9.
What they have recently learned is that with all the advancements in ammunition manufacturing, ALL of the *common* handgun rounds are now within 1-2 percentage points regarding bullet performance. (9mm, .40, .357sig/mag, 10mm, .45, etc). Your exotic/smaller calibers not included.
I have also spoken with several gunshot expert trauma surgeons who collectively have over a century in dealing with gunshot wounds. Except for something like a hot, hand loaded/full power .44 mag, you can’t tell the difference in soft tissue/organ damage. Shotguns and rifles, of course, are a totally different ballgame.
The 10mm *used to be* the ideal street round, but now 90% of the 10mm ammo out there is “downloaded” to about .40”+p” status, if that. You can thank the pussy ass “affirmative action” FBI generation in the ‘90s for that (all the smaller recruits couldn’t handle it and that’s how the .40 came about).
If it makes *the person carrying* feel better to say “bigger is better”, by all means carry what *you* feel comfortable with.
But when I had a .357 magnum blow through my leg, I didn’t even know I was hit.
I have had a conceal carry permit in three states. I just bought a Ruger LCP II but have been carrying a Beretta BU9. The new one is a .380, and the older one is a 9 mm.
Both have a magazine capacity of 6, and if I can't do damage with 2 out of those 6 then I deserve what I get. I no better than to try to take on an AR-15 head on.
I go to the range at least once a month. The last rangemaster there said I was scary. But I've been shooting since I was very young.
My Dad gave me an old 12-gauge shotgun when I moved from home. I have since had the barrel "shortened," ok, sawed off. That's my extreme home protection. A hand gun will not be as effective against a home invasion. The 12 gauge will. And I'm prepared to repair any damage to my walls and windows if I need to use it.
I do not rely on hardware to keep me safe. I know my reaction time reaching into my purse.
But I live in the same state as Bowman Douglas High School. I'm a parent. And I quit my NRA membership 20 years ago when they began to get more political or I became more educated. I'm not sure which.

I think that is against Federal Law. Not that I care about your firearm, but the infamous Weavers suffered a raid in which the FBI killed several family members based on that charge if I am not mistaken.

now that the threads been established as guns not cocks, dont mind admitting it makes reasonable reading
as long as judgmentals dont bother rubbishing people
i know, im a worst for hijacking a thread but always consider its topic/info related sharing re my contributions well thats my reasoning/excuse anyway ha
that aside i can see and appreciate peoples love for guns
sensible people who are never going to go out and blatantly take anothers life
imagine if they started to get health problems,and they do develop at any stage in life,then a personal review on things will take place, a thought
i happened to pass on my .222 to a brother,legally permitted
he told me he kept it under his bed,and he would shoot/shoot at anyone who broke into his house
threatning his wife and 3 kids
home invasions were rife at the time
i cautioned him to 'be careful'
as all/most court decisions seemed to/tended to come out in favour of the criminal
despite the law
so many instances of what is reasonable force for protection
finally personally
i have loved car racing/Aussie v8s since they began
gone nuts on GW/CC only recently,say 15 years
like everyone else
i see no reason to give up a passion since a kid, for a passion thats relatively recent
despite all the fuel in the atmoshpere etc

Just returned from the police department as the 1st step registering a number of pistols inherited from my father.
Here, they have a rule you can only register 3 guns at a time!. I think there are 10. I must do all the paperwork 4 times and go through the background check as well 4 times.
I guess this will flag me at the FBI.

That’s almost certainly a manufacturing defect in the metal, or was an overcharged round.

Na. That’s a normal situation. You shouldn’t have any problems. Maybe a follow up phone call or visit, but even if that, it’s completely routine.
I meant title to be click bait.....like what are you packing....in your pants.....
But whatever for you here is cool
What's the latest good book your read....what is latest bad book...and what is your favorite book
- Enid,
Taltos by Anne Rice is the latest good book! (Loving the witch series...friend turned me on to it)
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness for latest bad book. It's the 2nd in a trilogy, started off strong but has turned into a sappy "I'm a strong sexy vampire and you're a cool witch with mysterious powers" type of thing
My favorite book?? Omg. I dunno. I'll go with House of Leaves! It changed my life. In fact, I'm just about to reread for the 3rd time
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves
EDIT: Nadja by Andre Breton holds a special place in my heart as well
