Want to get a gun for my lady

[magnifier661]

Does anyone have a suggestion on what type of gun works well for the female?

Also, I may purchase another handgun too. Any suggestions on that? I already have a .38 special snub nose.

Depends on what you want it for.

No matter what you want it for, you should go to a range where you can rent guns and try them out first.

I would take her to a range, get some training and see what she is comfortable with. One of the easiest autos is the 1911 colt 45, if she has the aptitude for it, otherwise any of the small frame 32s or 38s are easy to use revolvers, just make sure it is a double action.

Yeah I want something that she can just point and fire. I was thinking of a .32 or .38 revolver cause she can grab it and start firing.

And don't worry, I am an advocate of proper gun training. We will be going to the range every week to practice.

Women should not have guns!

Take her to a range or shop and let her try them out. You're never going to be able to pick out something she likes better than what she picks out. She may surprise you, and if she gets it b/c she likes it she'll be more likely to do the classes, get some range time, etc...rather than stuffing it in a box in the closet.

and like Brian was hinting at, you may be supprised what her tastes are in hand guns, she may fall in love with an automatiac

I know you were being sincere with this post, but after what has been going on recently........ this might be one of the saddest posts in S2 history.

 

[julius]

get her a vibrator instead.

HCP , much respect man, but how does it sadden you for Mags and I to discuss what type of hand gun to consider for his lady?

It's just astonishing to me that anybody would "fall in love" with ANY weapon let alone an automatic weapon after what has just happened. I know this isn't the thread to discuss it, but it just doesn't register in my mind. I respect that people want weapons and have the right........ it just makes no sense to me. I had 4 very close friends of mine die in gang related shootings (their fault for being in gangs) during and right after HS and I was in the army so I've seen both sides....... it just so sad people feel they NEED guns.

I have a pic of me shooting an M60 like Rambo if they think I'm against guns.......

ok I understand your position..

personaly I have fallen in love with a few guns, so to speak. You were in the service..did you not come to admire the colt 45..that ugly , loose clanky pos that fires some of the dirtiest powder ever shelled..never jambed..could drop it in the mud and pick it up and shoot all day..we were issued rounds from WW2 lots of bad rounds, but that gun...a work of art

I was an MP, so we had to qualify with a bunch of weapons....... Colt .45/ 9MM Baretta/ M16/ M203/ M60/ AT4/ 50Cal

My favorite was the M203....... for those of you who don't know it's an M16 with a god damned grenade launcher on the bottom! What a blast. But thats where I left it. I know I would be OK owning one in the civilian world, but I don't like the idea of nutjobs out there being able to get their hands on them.

It's okay FAMS. Some people need to protect themselves from those gang related home invasions. But in reality, it's like insurance. You need it when you don't have it.

Trust me, the guns are locked up and only brought out for Halloween and Swap meets.

 

[THE HCP]

My favorites

M203

.50 Cal

AT4

The one referred to in the Marine chant: "This is my rifle, and this is my gun. This one's for fighting, and this one's for fun."

i'm done

 

[BrianFromWA]

in the Army, did you have to scream "back blast area all clear!!" for your AT4 shots?

I liked the Mk19...40mm automatic grenade launcher. Until I saw (actually, heard) what happens when you're straddling one when it double-feeds.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Get her a Razerback 22LR or the pistol version.

AK-47 or oozi is definitely the way to go.

Once Mag's girl gets a gun, we'll know why he hasn't posted in a while (the next time he disappears from S2).

Just if you are prone to depression like I am, please don't get a gun. Not that I would ever hurt anyone else with it, but there have been times in my life where had I owned a gun suicide might have happened. I know it's easy without a gun, but with one its so fast and so easy, you can skip the contemplation period where you change your mind.

 

[PapaG]

.38 would be too much gun for her.

Look for a .22 caliber pistol and train her on it.

Pure honesty. Truth. Love it.

I'm not at all religious, but calling yourself "God" on a message board may place some unrealistic expectations on who you think you should be as a person. Maybe changing your name to "Jesus" would alleviate a bit of the pressure.
