    I like gunbroker.com I have used it for a few of mine. The prices are great and so far all of who I have delt with is on the up & up. about sending to an ffl when you buy a firearm online; so far from what I have seen is that the pawnshops in the area will have you send to them for a fee. maybe 20 a gun & they will handle the pw with thr goverment.


    Now I cycle thru some of my hand guns for what I will carry; it will depending on what I am wearing mostly.
    The ones I cycle thru more often are the

    Springfield 1911 GI Champ Mil Spec 4" 8 Round Clip
    Springfield XD45 45 ACP Also a 4" 13 Round Clip
    Heckler & Koch UPS 40 5" (Full Size) 13 Round Clip

    The 1911 is the easiest to conceal, the HK feels to be the most accurate @ 25 yards for me at least, and the XD 45 feels really good to me. I do have big hands so needing closer to full size ones for me.

    I did what alot of people are saying on in here to do. Go to a gun store (Do Not Make You Buy Anything Yet, they are there to see) hold quite a few of them and note which ones felt good in your hand. Then from there go to the rang and rent them. The rang I went to was really cool on giving me info on the differences on what to expect with the different brands. From there you will be pretty good.

    Just keep in mind you will not stop with just one lol

    this was from a outing to the rang from last year with my brother

    also my girl has really small hands and her carry is the Makarov. The size is a 9x18 close to a .380 & she likes it.

    My buddy has the keltec .380 as his backup. He doesnt care too much for it but says it serves its purpose.

    I just read a review if the XD Compact .45 and now leaning towards this pistol. Its in my price range, has thinner grips than the G30, has a chamber indicator as well as a piston indicator, and also has the trigger safety and the grip safety. This way i dont shoot myself in the arse when concealing it. Lol....

    Here is my take on my collection as far as security goes. I stand a greater chance of being over taken by a perp if I have to go to another room of my house for my weapon. With that reasoning I now have a 32 room home. What you think I'm gonna sell a gun?

    If you have 32 rooms then you need more guns!
