Went over to Superior Pawn & Gun, (5min from my house), since I had some old gold collecting dust. Took it there & got me a Ruger SR9 new in the case & four 17 round magazines straight up! Came home & ordered me a tactical flashlight, tactical hand grip, & blue & yellow high ...

So I found some aftermarket stuff that id like to get & figured id ask about the quality of these VS price: Speed loader which is a must $32 bucks: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001HBHNHE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2MZPXPXRV2AA&coliid=IQ21KR96DXCAZ 17 round magazines for $...

Went to Bobs today & got a chance to play around a bit. Great service all around for starters. They didn't have the Ruger 9E so I got some range time in with the Ruger SR9. They also didn't have the S&W SD40 VE cause there flying off the shelves & so I got some range time with the S&...

Called up Bob's Gun Shop & got a much different feel. He invite me to cpme on down handle as many as id like, narrow it down, $10 for the range, $ for a box of ammo, & the 1st one, maybe 2 is on them, & its $5 per gun past that. I'll be on my way there shortly & ill letcha know how a...

Check out your local Colonial Shoot academy... they rent everything. And once you're done messing around, pony up a few extra bucks and buy a new CZ P-07 for $425 or so. you'll thank me down the road. all of them come with a shot report in the box so you can see just how accurate they are right out...

Good news! My VA license just came in the mail today & I have 4 solid gold rings, one being 24k & im gonna head over to the pawnshop with a range down the road & ill be sure to let u guys know how it goes!!

Can u guys do me a simple favor & tell me if u run into any used sales of the Ruger SR9, 9E, or SR9C? Also the S&W M&P, & the S&W SD9ve!
Thank You!

I thank u all so much for all the help!

Is there a paying member option for this forum, & if so, what are the requirements?

If I got the M&P, is it worth the effort of getting a DIY trigger job, OR, paying a gunsmith do it at a fair rate?

A lot of M&P talk & no Ruger which was my 2nd pick.

So how would the Ruger 9e, SR9, or SR9c stack up?

Thought I posted this already but;

I know S&W makes a spring kit that reduces the pull from 10 to 7, but with that aside, would it be worth the $ of doing a trigger job?

Sorry, S&W SR9c

The price for the SD9c was quoted off of there website & the only thing stopping me from getting an M&P is whether I want full or compact.

I'm also always gonna concider looking for good quality used guns.

I'm highly starting to eye ball the "Smith & Wesson SD9 VE 9mm" & which can be found new for under $400, or the "Ruger SR9C 9mm" which is a bit over $400 brand new & both have everything I'm after!!!

Someone said Hi-Point... I heard about a guy who fired a Hi Point, which blew up. The shrapnel killed his whole family, the bullet ricocheted and killed his dog, and then sparks from the ricochet burned his house down, and then the shell casing landed on a voting machine and registered a vote for t...

That may be true for there handguns or other, but i've heard the complete opposite for there carbines that seem to pass torture tests with flying colors... agree?

Anyone recommend Hi-point Firearms?

I've always wanted to pick up one of there 45cal 4595ts Carbines with some goodies!!

IMHO Bob's Gun Shop in Norfolk is the most reputable shop in your neighborhood. The prices are high but the service and selection are excellent. They have an onsite gunsmith, range and classes available, even a glock shop up on the third floor if you're into glocks. If you're just looking for decen...

Hey can u guys recommend any shops, ranges, & pawn stores that have good pricing, some deals, & great customer service to help out a new guy?? I live in the V.Beach area by Lake Edwards, but I don't mind traveling a bit if its worth it...

You have a pretty good list together. You really can't go wrong with any of those. Like others have said, rentals will help you figure out which one you are most comfortable with. And yes, depending on the round/barrel combo, a 308 will do 1,100 meters and still have the same force of impact as a 9...

If you are looking for a range queen to have fun with and want a 9mm, I would recommend a Ruger SR9. New they are about $500(+), but I see them used for about $400 once in awhile. It has adjustable 3-dot sights and a pic rail for a flashlight or laser. It very accurate. Its light and has both doubl...
