What gun should I get

[Royicus]

Let's keep this thread on track. What handgun do you all recommend? Let's leave politics and killing out of it. I don't like gun threads getting locked

horsejody, you've probably gotten the best advice already: Go try different guns and get the one you like. Not really a great answer that most people seek, but it really is the best one.

There is a lot to be said for the 9mm. Lots and lots and lots of cheap ammo out there which can make it fun to go shoot things.

That's 1/2 the reason why we just got our latest pistol in 9mm. A lot cheaper to shoot then .45 and with the right ammo, almost just as effective

Before I bought my hand gun.......I read Paxton Quigley.

Then I went out and chose a 380 auto.

I feel real comfortable with it.

Personally, my homestead defense consists of audible/visual motion sensors , reenforced doors and secure windows, my armory, and (soon) wifi cameras to record any intruders final moments.

As far as "what gun to buy", that is based on your personal factors.
I have assorted weapons, but my "go to" gun in the Kriss Vector.
There is little a villain can hide behind to escape from its fury. It's basically a technologically advanced tommy gun. It was just deemed "worthy" of civilian sales in January, and guess who was waiting with cash in hand?

It's VERY ACCURATE, less than 1/4 of the muzzle lift of an MP5!! An MP5 fires 9mm, the Kriss Vector fires .45!!

I would like to keep it handy near the front door for use in dispatching my neighbor's dogs if they get loose again.

You're going to kill your neighbor's dogs if they get loose? ......I think maybe you should get a BB gun for that, so they won't get injured.​

Here too. Dash bought me a revolver a few years ago, but I continued to hold out for the 9mm. Looks like this is the year! Woo Hoo!!

Unfortunately, an untrained dog that does not realize they are to stay away from the chickens will KILL every one of them just for sport. I have witnessed this aftermath myself and it will change your mind about killing dogs. If a chicken killed your pet whatever, would you hesitate to ring its neck ? I think not.

I love a faithful, well trained and kind dogs. I do not in any circumstance like a POS dog that is untrained, mean and nasty.
I say shoot em, the world will be a better place.
