NICE Carlos! I'm Jealous on that score!

I'm actively looking for an AR10 or an M1a myself...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks.
Amazing how prices have shot up.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I remembered having visited Palmetto State Armory, whom I have bought ammo from, and decided to check to see if they had any left.
My friend got one and I think I bought the last one on Tuesday morning.
This is what I have coming.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone ever use Fiocchi ammo?
Seems majority of it is now made in the US.
This is a great price given current ammo prices/demand.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The only Fiocchi I've uses was in .40 S&W but it's always worked great for me.

Hey Justin, did you notice that DSGarms makes cigars? :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have run 9mm Fiocchi through a couple of my pistols with no problem. Price is always great with it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:r I saw that. Not sure if they're any good. I'm sure the guys over on arfcom know.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just filled out an application for a handgun permit and I've never owned one.

Trying to decide what to buy...I want something I can conceal and I can get in the $400-500 range and I'm ok with buying used. Not sure what I really care for as far as 9mm, 40/45, etc and thinking a 4" variety.

My brother recommended Springfield XD and Glock...what would you recommend?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Start with a good 9mm, Ruger,Sig,Smith etc. There is soo many good ones these days.:2

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I prefer glock over the XD's

But I just got the new XDS .45 on Saturday love that its the same size as my G26 but in .45 it was only $549 otd

In this pic it's laying on top of my "baby glock"26

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

It's fine fired thousands of rounds of Fiochi that's actual a little high my local cabelas usually has it for $10.99 a box (or they did)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have a ruger Lcp and love it. I have a back pocket holster, just feels like I have two wallets. I have been looking at an lc9, xds, or s&w shield for an inside the waste option. All of these are in your price range or very close if you look around.

I like my glock and cannot go wrong with one. Just all I have seen or tried are not comfortable to carry. But just like cigars, everyone likes different options. Before buying see if any of your local ranges have some that you could rent before spending all the money.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just like a wife, booze or cigars, loaded question as so personal.
I have now learned what I had been told previously, feel them up, it's a personal thing. They all feel different to you than to me.
The XD is a great gun but thick and may not be what some like with the way the safety is set up. I thought I wanted one until I held it.
Glocks are fantastic, as I own a 21 and can attest but almost bought a 26 for concealed but also felt bulky.
Ended up with a Ruger LCP for true tiny concealed and a S&W Shield which is slim and incredibly low recoil and is truly my favorite. However, finding one is the challenge due to demand for it.
Gun shows or a large dealer are the best place to go.
Lastly, shoot it. Amazing how many you eliminate once you fire them.

BTW, that XDs is an amazing little, slim powerhouse but you sacrifice by having low capacity in mag due to caliber. Probably my next gun as is only XD that is slim.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I just sold my LCP for something a little more powerful I don't feel like I have sacrificed capacity. The Xds is 5+1 the LCP is 6+1, heck I will give up one round to carry the.45 vs .380 :2

I have my LCP holsters for sale over on the WT/S thread :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

No doubt. Same here.
I now seldom use my LCP since getting the Shield.
I do love that XDs quite a bit and see it in my immediate future, specially since now seeing Bud's selling it for $599.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Can anyone here tell me where I can find a bolt carrier group and 16" barrel for 5.56? Trying to finish a build and everyone is out of everything. I know a lot of local places might have parts though. Like around here I can still get high capacity magazines at normal prices. Please PM me if you know of anywhere that might have these in stock. I have spent 5 days searching the internet with no luck. Thanks!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

i have a glock model 32 which is chambered in .357 sig. i love it. same ballistics as a .40s&w just a flatter trajectory and it has the same knock down power of a .357 mag just in a semi-auto platform. it is a necked down .40 so the same amount of rounds. it is the sub-compact model and i carry it everyday with no problems. since im a big fan of the glock i will not weigh in on whats better but i will say go for what fits better in your hand. if you can find a gun range that has loaner guns that will let you try them out.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

How do you like it? I'm torn between that and a Taurus PT1911 w/rail

Grabagun has them for less btw. $523 for the black

Good luck. BCGs have been super hard to come by for the past couple months and now it's worse. You may want to go over to AR15.com and look in the equipment exchange for a bcg and barrel. Prepare to be buttraped though. BCGs are going for $300 each
