Let him play with guns, knives, et cetera? Hell, I join in on the fun!

Carrying w/oa holster just wont fly for me. I am a 21 year old male with long curly hair and a beard. If anyone so happens to catch a peek Im positive the police will be called. I have seen the Milt Sparks but IMO it just isnt i the budget I would rather pool my money and put it towards another gun. What i have now is very comfortable the only thing is the glock is on the heavy side. But im sure ill get used to it.

lots of different options. I recommend the horsehide. Handles sweat better.

this would work well for you and an LCP

Though I generally carry my Keltec P3AT, when I do carry my G26, I've got a blackhawk IWB holster that's pretty comfortable at 1 or 4:00.

I do need to invest in a good belt.

has anyone fired the H & K P2000? I will be qualifying on this and was wondering if anyone has any feedback on it.

Nice brad. I want a Springfield very badly, but just can't seem to get myself to pull the trigger on it(wow bad pun).

I've fired one on a couple of occasions... They are well made guns and will go bang every time you pull the trigger. That's about all that I can say about it.

IMHO I think the trigger leaves something to be desired. I guess I just expect more for a $650+ firearm.

They are good guns and I don't think you'll have any problems with it. It just may take some getting used to but that's the same with any firearm.

Brad very nice EBR...

This was my EBR before it got sold to help pay for my divorce.

Ive only fired two guns in my life- a civil war musket and civil war sharps carbine. Hopefully the gun is smooth with little kick back and easy to operate.

Do you have the same feeling about SKS's?

The person behind the gun did the killing, not the gun.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. For instance i LOVE my glock while 1911 guys look down on them calling them Tupperware guns because the frame isnt milled out of a solid block of steel.

To each their own. Also if I bough a 1911 I would get a shadow box and put it display since that's all they are good for.

This pistol shoots better than anything I have played around with. Only thing I am thinking about replacing it with is the Sig P220 Equinox

Ask how many "upgrades" they have done to their beautiful pistol. Then ask "what ammo makes it malfunction" then ask them how fast they can clear a stovepipe or failure"

Then you can mostly say..... Huh... never had to do any of those to my Tupperware pistol.

That being said, I like 1911s. They are kind of retro-cool but the world has marched on in design and innovative styles and materials.

I still want one. But something to carry? I would take the G. Higher percentages of going bang, lighter... I don't care about ugly when I need to be a Sheepdog for real.

Converted this former gun hating hippie to a gun lover in one afternoon. After a couple hours shooting both rifles and pistols she's now a fan and can't wait to go back. Score one for the team!

Florida doesn't have that stipulation, but I am close to Georgia and they do. So when I carry in Georgia I make sure it's in a holster.
