Not a big-ass kick, heavy enough (34 oz.) but now again, like a woman changing her mind...I'm like the .40 cals too. Slightly bigger punch, same accuracy. This would be a range pistol and a home defense pistol therefore I began shying away from the 9mm. (I'll get rid of the SW. 357 mag revolver I have)

I picked up a Para-Ord 14/45 Ltd for the same purpose. Quite accurate and you can shoot cheap .45 ammo well for fun, strong options for defense and competition too. Add in 14 +1 capacity with a .45 and you have a pretty fine all around gun. I added a Lazermax to mine as well. Anyone else have experience with Para? They have won a bunch of awards/recommendations from what I have seen.

SCIA, who's that? The pimp suit is for fun and goes well with what the girls wear when we go clubbing to the different parties.

Do all your posts have to be some sort of macho display of arrogance?

scia is a fellow gun nut... like you he is nuts about guns... fears em. doesn't trust his fellow man with one or himself. he feels a cell phone is all the protection a real man needs.

This is what ya really want Rip.
And I didn't read the entire thread so bear with me...

Florida-based Corner Shot Holdings, is being tested by the Israeli military and has already been bought by a number of special forces around the world.

A spokesman for the Israeli branch of the company refused to comment on the report.

Pictures of the weapon show a gun composed of two parts -- the front, that can swivel from side to side, containing a pistol with a color camera mounted on top, and the back section which consists of the stock, trigger and a monitor.

The unique weapon allows the soldier to remain behind cover, with only the barrel of the rifle exposed in the direction of the hostile fire, even at a sharp angle.

reminds me of the lower tech version (don't know if it ever saw combat.) but I used to have a small arms book with a picture of a 'grease-gun' mod with a barel that had a 90deg radius in it.

IIRC, it was to designed to allow the shooter to point it upwards and clear an unwanted rider off a tank without exposing the shooter. I also had some old picks of a riffle with a riffle with a long barrel bent and a mirror set up to shoot around corrners in urban warfare

Fear of Guns? LOL

Sorry but I use to hunt alot and belong to the NZDRA (New Zealand Deer Rifile Association). Stopped hunting when I started flying and gained alot of hours flying hunters in and out of the bush.

I've also spent time in the military where I was expected to shoot and have people shoot back for a living.

Hardly the passtimes for someone who has a fear of guns.

True this is about men talking about guns. Though unfortunetly with almost every thread on guns there are a couple of very immature and boyish opinions regarding guns and gun laws that constantly surface.

I have that same small arms book, Capt. Apathy. The Germans also adapted an Machine Pistol for the same purpose and I do believe they tried using it on a very limited basis but found that the bullets left the barrel with little or no stability and that the barrel itself never lasted a long time.

Personally, I think the land-warrior system under developement for the US army is better than the Israeli option. The sight of the weapon is mated directly to the IR/Nighvision package worn by the soldier, and thus can also be manvouvered around corners and such without exposing the soldier to enemy fire. Yes, he would have to expose his hands, but the degree of movement would be greater and the sighting more intuitive. The next step would be to get of the tunnel vision effect inherent to all goggle-mounted sighting systems.

In regards to the ghetto boys endorsing their weapon of choice..

You fellas got a pilots license to fly them birds... no pun intended...

Rip,

I'm with dago and others .45 is what you want... battle proven since 1911... (aquire target aim and drop em..) Charging opponents, please... 1-2 rounds they are on the ground... note thats when you hit them anywhere, arm leg, center mass is not needed with that weapon..

If your shooting for fun get a .22

If you want to do a lethal weapon role on the ground then shoot something then...... get the 9mm its highly accurate.. The military baretta ive used (military weapons are dogged out too..) were point and shoot... very easy weapon..

If you have to get 9mm then theres nothing wrong with taurus if the weapon does come from brazil they got one of the highest murder rates per capita in the world if thats any constellation....

my 2 cents...

That's what I said gix but you guys still can't seem to stay out of mens threads. I am sorry that you fear handguns so much that you don't trust yourself or your fellow man with one but that is not my fault. Just stay on your little island and probly everything will be fine.

When you say "trust your fellow man" are you including all the crim's and those that shouldn't be able to hold as much as a drivers licence should be trusted too?

Yes It a little Island well done. Though I'm not going to reply likewise with derogatory statements about the US. As that arrogance is best left up to you.

Yes... I am including the criminals... if they are good enough to be out on the street then they are good enough to vote and own a gun. Or else... maybe you shouldn't have let em out in the first place eh? I do not feel that the mentally incompetent should have firearms or power tools or drivers licences.

your "little island" refers to the fact that you have no where near the complex political, cultural and international problems/interactions that we do. What works for you is fine.... for you. Stay there and be happy.
