I'm getting a new riot gun for the wife. Do you buy from McBrides?

Well I went into the local store after work today and eyeballed a few pistols.
Only Glocks they had were compact models, one compact M&P, Beretta and a used Sig Sauer.
Only thing that caught my eye was a couple Springfield Armory XDM's. Those looked to be about the right size.
Might go back and buy one tomorrow.

Nothing wrong with the Springfields. My XDS in 45 works great.

Might go back and buy one tomorrow. Fondle the Sig before you buy anything, specially if it's got the SA/DA trigger. If I were in the market for another semi-auto pistol today, it'd be the Sig 227.

Bought something last night at a local store and background check was no longer than usual.
As far as Glocks are concerned, I love my Gen 2 model 23. No problems whatsoever with it. I admit I hate its looks but it is the most natural pointing auto I have ever owned. I also have a M&P Shield and like it for its compactness. The single stack magazine makes for a very thin grip which makes for a very nice CCW. Either a Gloch or S&W M&P would suit me but I just happened to buy the Glock 23, and I'm not sorry I did. My brother keeps raving about the Walther PPQ Mk2 but I haven't had one in my hands yet.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, be it Glock, M&P, XD or Sig...

....again.... If you don't already reload, it's time to start. I used to purchase powder a pound at a time. But after not being able to find handgun powder for 3 years locally, I ordered 48#'s from powder valley once they had some in stock.

I remember growing up in the '80's the two AR15's on the rack of my LGS gathered dust for a long time, I don't remember them ever being purchased.
Between burning through bricks of .22 with my 77/22 and desperately trying to thin the local squirrel, tin can and hedge apple population, I would read Jim Carmichel, Bob Milek and Grits Gresham, and since they never wrote about black rifles, I figured they weren't anything special, although arguably in those days prior to the Bush Sr. import ban they were more available than now.

LGS says no more customers buying than usual. They even had a pound of Blue Dot on the shelf, which I bought for 26 bucks. Outrageous, but available.

No self-respecting shooter would have one. Some things never change. And no self respecting gun owner would hold your views. Why don't you hold true to your views and turn your guns in to be melted down?
