Just bought a gun...

I have been reading some discussion regarding guns and ammunition recently and as a lady have always had trouble with a shotgun or rifle due to the length of the barrel. I can use it, but sometimes uncomfortable or not able to aim quickly due to the weight or size.

I went to Walmart today and there is a nice rifle there made by Rossi that is $147. It has an interchangable barrel between a .22 or a .410. So if they are out of one type of ammo, you can go with the other if necessary.

Also, the barrel is short and the gun itself is very lightweight.

So I thought I'd share.

Have a ballpark price on that Kahr PM9 Lightweight Compact 9mm Auto Pistol?

TIA

Safety first.

1)Always assume gun is loaded.

2)Never point it at anything you don't intend to shoot.

3)Never put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot.

4)With rights come responsibilities.

Ahhhh, yes. The grip extension. Makes it easier to handle.

We bought hers new for $500ish but now they are $600ish.

What’s the model number or name?

[alarm rider]

Excellent!

A gun post?

You’ll never get a response to a gun post here on FR.

Nope. No way, no how.

Folks around here just don’t seem to be interested in guns, that’s what I’ve noticed.

[TSgt]

I can’t keep up with the replies!

LOL!

That's my wife's gun. I shoot one of these.

I'm a bit more old school:



I place my trust in the fine products of Mr John Moses Browning.

Nice but a bit hard to conceal..

Bump for later reference.

The trick is practice, learn all there is to know about your weapon, no matter which one you choose. Practice until it becomes second nature.If you need it for home defense you won’t have time to read the instruction manual.22 Ammo is cheap, so burn it up.

I appreciate the information. I, too, have always found my husband’s rifles to hard to handle. I am on my way to Walmart.

[TSgt]

What is a tax refund?

[Tucker822]

Ping!

That is my next Gun, or should I say my hubby’s. He just bought me a snub nose 38 special, and get this, it’s Pink.

Mine is a "slight" variation:

Sig Sauer 1911

mines a beretta

Mine's a Glock. :)

I don't have my CCW permit yet, so it's just a house and practice gun for now. I'm kind of, ahem, plus sized (5'10" and 225 lbs) and with the shirt sizes I wear, I imagine I can carry it with an IWB holster. If it turns out I can't, I might look into a Springfield Armory XD9, or a 1911 Officer.
