pistol or cigars?

Devanmc · 01-01-2011, 08:16 PM

well most of my extra fun money goes toward buying cigars, but ill be leaving the service soon and living on my own. So ive been thinking about and researching buying a pistol. What is every ones thought on this, Holding off on cigars to save for a pistol or just keep buyin cigars

if pistol, what do you guys recommend? So far im looking at a .40

I would buy a weapon, a weapon can save your life. Cigars won't.

Springfield XD45... then cigars....it's much funner to have a weapon then smoke cigars...otherwise you're smoking without being able to shoot... = no fun.

Not so you'd notice. I only drink one glass of wine on the advice of my doctor and that aint enough to impair my judgement.

Greg, err.. igmo... I think you have earned a new nickname

Pistols are good, but a cigar is less likely to get me in trouble.
Stock up on good smokes, then save for the gun.

I had one of those and wish I hadn't gotten rid of it. Believe it or not I can shoot the 27 better than the 23 though.

I agree, this was my first pistol, still have it and love it...you cant beat a Glock, and for those on the Springfield XD side, those are very good as well, I'd suggest gripping both several times because the frames have different angles, and some prefer one of another, thats my thoughts...

haha

I have a Glock 27 that I love.

I have a baby Glock that I carry off duty, but we (Detroit Police) were issued the new S&W MP 40 cal. It is so much more accurate than the Glock. I still own two Glocks, the 23 &27, but the SW wins hands down. Much better grouping with night sites. Great weapon, light weight, and deadly accurate.

My last qualifying score was 249 out of 250. Best score yet with the SW MP

I've got an XD40 with the 4inch barrel, I love it. about 500-550 retail. Great gun for the round

MiamiE · 01-01-2011, 08:32 PM

I have had a 23 for about 5 years now. My first was the 19, but it's way to big. I also have a 27, which is a great CCW, IMO.

Bill86 · 01-01-2011, 08:37 PM

I'm looking into a HK USP Compact, also a P30s. We'll see what I end up with. I don't particularly like glocks I've shot a few ...not for me.

01-01-2011, 09:05 PM

Glock 30.
