I would sooner take a chainsaw to my femur than own a Glock.

that's not for christmas, love. we get to make our own holiday for that one, and you can't kill people with it.

[Mag]

That'd be an awesome Christmas present. Chainsaw all the way.
Realistically however, S&W 500.

[AztecWarrior]

Why are Glocks so bad? You never explain this.

[martyr]

i quoted myself, i dunno why.

Getting a fiancee > Getting a new gun
not exclusive. actually, package deal. new gun && fiancee. k?

mag: i have too many friends that *have* owned 500s (meaning they've bought them, shot two boxes of that hella expensive ammo, then sold the gun). it's like buying 25" rims for your cooper. stupid.

[Mag]

However, it is gangsta... yo. Anyway, I know nothing about guns, so naturally, I figured bigger is better.

[Triggar]

But I have wee little hands :(

[Fragmatic]

But I have wee little hands :(

Hence why I chose a wee little gun with good stopping power that's simular enough to your PPK :)

[martyr]

the p230's grip is startlingly large - it's a double-stack mag, unlike the ppk

[Fragmatic]

How about -

North American Arms Guardian .380 - http://www.naaminis.com/380.html

The point stands.

[Fragmatic]

you lazy arse.

hah, you missed the 1 minute later edit.

[Biohazzard56]

Get a 1911, great reliable pistol.

http://www.airsoftgi.com/images/HICAPA.jpg
Im getting this airsoft one for christmas, too bad you cant get the real thing because this is the coolest looking 1911 ever. Its government issue for DSS agents only.

[JetRaiden]

you lazy arse.

http://www.naaminis.com/380.html

http://img56.exs.cx/img56/4900/Untitled-213.jpg

YES! Christ, I can carry that thing in my wallet.

[Triggar]

Pfft, you're the encyclopaedia of gun knowledge in this home, love.

[ChewyLSB]

I'm actually quite partial to the Colt 1911... but to each his/her own.

[Triggar]

I like the 1911 meself.

[martyr]

Pfft, you're the encyclopaedia of gun knowledge in this home, love.

i'll index YOU... later on

[JetRaiden]

- I'm only half Cuban.

- No. Although we do have a large stockpile of Class 2 and 3 firearms, there is more to us than said will.

By the way, I held an Intratec TEC-9 the other day. It SUCKS.

:rofl: Tec 9.....Aztec, I think its safe to say you're pretty qualifed for a gangster license.

[OneManArmy]

sig p230! my friend just picked one up for his girl and she loves it. plus sigs just plain rock.

[martyr]

sigs are indeed wunnerful. the p2000 is a dream, no two ways about it.

i split teh glocks out of this thread, but i want to put this back here:

as some of you probably know, this is the new weapon of choice for the LAPD SWAT, the kimber classic II

http://www.gunsandammomag.com/ga_handguns/GAstainless_0206A.jpg

unfortunately, it's a touch too large to carry in florida - correct me if i'm wrong, trig

[DaShiznit]

Pssh. You guys and your sissy .380s. When you're ready for a real gun:
http://www.tjgeneralstore.com/mark_desert_eagle_pistol.gif

[Triggar]

:lol:

You wouldn't say that if a .380 was pointed at your head.

[martyr]

that's not a real gun, that's a wonder-gun. a curiosity, a novelty. ooh, look what we can do. hey, i wonder if we can get americans to buy them?

edit: we did look at those, trig turned them down for many good reasons

[Fragmatic]

Pssh. You guys and your sissy .380s. When you're ready for a real gun:
http://www.tjgeneralstore.com/mark_desert_eagle_pistol.gif

Yeah, and lets see how often you can afford to shoot it.

[OneManArmy]

oh man those desert eagles are somethig else. there's two down at my local gun shop. and I mean damn! those things are freaking huge. plus it has a price tag the same as an m-14...

[DaShiznit]

Hey, you guys said shiny, not cheap. But if you're a little more budget concious:
Edit: JESUS! Teh oversizedness! Insert picture of Sig Sauer P226 Here.
Might not be that shiny, but they are the finest name in swiss firearms.

[Triggar]

Sigs are win

But I want an engagement ring, dammit

[martyr]

Not For Christmas

I've just taken a new forum joke and rounded the bases.

[Triggar]

Now you have to call it a "Deagle" and you're all set, ass :lol:

[ChronoSphere]

Trig - in Florida, there is no limit to what kind of firearm you can carry.
Its a concealed WEAPONS permit. If you were able to hide a 4ft sword, you could carry that with you. That being said, my recommendations.

If you want a concealable pistol that is not full size but not a compact, try this:
hk p2000
http://www.hksystems.com.au/images/News/p2000GRIPS.jpg

Smaller version, the p2000sk - subcompact in .40 and 9mm


http://www.hk-usa.com/images/handguns/p2ksubmain.jpg

Also, I'm going to be in the Gainesville area this weekend. If you would like to get an opportunity to handle and fire a .40 p2000, let me know. You pick the range :)

Another excellent VERY concealable pistol is the Seecamp, if you can find one. They come in .32ACP, and I think theres a .380 variant.
A cheaper .380 that'll get the job done is a keltec .380. You can fit it in your back pants pocket - they make wallet holsters for it.

[AztecWarrior]

Glock/USP > All

[martyr]

i dunno, i've used them quite a bit, and i think my p99 is at least equivalent to the USP, not including my personal bias. they're processed through the same proofhouse, by the way - have the same stamps on the frames

[NightWalker XI]

Glock/USP > All

H&K > all actually

[Giovanni]

Can't go wrong with a custom fit pistol for your love!

[Lonehunter]

This shiny enough?

[martyr]

haha, as i told frag last night, wilson is ruled out because of price alone.

U22 (http://products.berettausa.com/frame_tabellaprodotti_2002.asp?sgmt=32&Model=U22%20Neos#)

It may be just a beginners target/training pistol, but god damn, its just crazy looking.

And at a total length of almost 12 inches, and its wacky futuristic design, you can prevent aliens from abducting you.

[DaShiznit]

I thought the P2000 was Beretta. Or maybe that's the 9000 S. Oh, who knows anymore?

[martyr]

we've toyed with the beretta neos, but they aren't good for killing people.
the p2000 is most definitely german.

[DaShiznit]

Charming...if you want killing power, 2 words for you: Desert. Eagle. Too bad they're so damned expensive.

[Triggar]

Too bad my hands are about six five inches tall from the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger.

The reason I'm not crazy about my PPK/S is because it's uncomfortable and cumbersome.

Think I'd replace it with something worse? ;)

[martyr]

ugh, we've already covered the MR topic thoroughly.

[Triggar]

Check PM's, Martyr :)

[ViperGTS]

[Triggar]

With a Hogue grip, of course.

And they don't call Hanukkah "Eight Crazy Nights" for nothing, love.

[TheN00b]

Check PM's, Martyr :)

Why would you need to PM your live-in boyfriend :doh: ?

[AztecWarrior]

haha, as i told frag last night, wilson is ruled out because of price alone.
Someone wanted you to get a Wilson Combat .45?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Those things are fucking expensive- their shotgun is cheapter than their .45.

[TotalBiscuit]

I don't see how it matters tbh, they'll all keep the King of England out of your house.

TB.

[Triggar]

Why would you need to PM your live-in boyfriend :doh: ?

'Cause he was at work and I was at home, dur.

[TotalBiscuit]

Its not up.

[martyr]

it's up, but our packet shaper broke last week, and almost all our bandwidth fell down into the default ruleset, which is limited to 4mb/s, and i haven't gotten it fixed.
this is why i haven't felt motivated to go to work.

[Ivan]

...this is why i haven't felt motivated to go to work...
Because you know you'd actually have to umm I don't know... WORK?! :lol: :love:

sputty, for about three seconds, i thought that was a power drill, but i kept at it until i realized what i was looking at.

and i'd say that's a great idea, 'cept i feel like she'd stun nephthys all the time at night

[AztecWarrior]

Watchu mean it's not a power drill?

[martyr]

:lol: :lol:

I say go with a 1911..
I have two. One was my Papa's in world war 2, the other is SA.
The Govy Ish Colt is unaltered and still sexy as ever. The SA Colt is all matte-black and has a beaver tail grip safety, skeletal trigger, factory hammer (i don't like how the skeletal hammers look, unfortunately), jet comp, and i've purchased several extended mags for it. I'd love to slap an extended mag into both of them and have a shoot-out in china-town or something, but.. well, that's illegal, soooo.. yeah. Still, both of them are beautiful and neither has ever done anything that worries me. Even with all the shit i've done to my SA it's still as reliable as ever. The Colt is just a great gun. Plus, it's flat as a pancake! Talk about comfy. I love it. Berettas and what not have grips that are about six inches wide. Fuck that. They're fun for movies but in real life the damn things are just too bulky, in my opinion.

Ah, and my dad owns a G19. He's never had a problem with it though he says it is rather expensive to keep loaded. I've shot it a few times, and, I'll say this much: i thought it was bad-ass. But, yeah, i could never afford to own one. nope nope nope.

[Glaynor]

Sorta highjack ...

My wife was hoping for an engagement ring a few Christmases ago. I didn't get her one (wasn't ready and she knew it but was still hoping). I bought her a beautiful bracelt that cost a few thousand. She looked at it and said she didn't like it. Only years later did I find out that she really wanted an engagement ring and that anything I got her besides that wouldn't have been good enough.

[martyr]

don't tell her, but i think it's kinda cheezy to get an engagement ring for christmas. i feel like it's like saying "oh, here's a marriage for christmas, it's roughly equivalent to the tie you're giving me"

[Glaynor]

Some states also have laws governing the giving of gifts in terms of a breakup. I.E. - if you give an engagement ring for a holiday or birthday, something like that, and you break up before the marriage occurs the courts state that the engagement ring was a gift which you can not force a return of. However, if you give the engagement ring without it being a holiday and thereby not being a 'gift' the courts state that the ring must be returned upon a breakup. The ring signifies a promise to do something in the future (the marriage) but upon that not occurring the woman has no rights to keep the ring.

[Triggar]

I bought her a beautiful bracelt that cost a few thousand

Boys, read and learn :brow:

Don't worry John-John. Just get me the engagement ring sometime in 2005, or else kiss ma' ass g'bye ;)

hehehe

I won't dump you love. I've got how many years left of college? No sense rushing an engagement if we've got years before the wedding :)
