Agreed...
I shot djunkies .40 last winter and really liked it. Very comfortable and I like the grip safety.
It also wasn't too much for Jen. (Not like the .357 long barell she shot...lol)
I will be picking one up soon
Ya I'm really happy with my Springfield XD .40. If I had Mikes money though I'd be looking at the Sig's or the HK's.
Now as for a side note, if its gonna be for home security I'll take a revolver over an auto any day. Or the shortbarreled Remington 870 that I have under my bed.
And yes, Jen handled the .40 pretty well.

Well my question to you Magic34 is what are you going to do if someone breaks into your house and your gun is locked up away from the ammo? Are you going to ask the perp to give you 5 minutes to load your gun so you can shoot his ass? I am not trying to be a dick just trying to make you think
Mabey gun saftey should be a little higher on peoples minds instead of where a good place to hide them from the kids would be?:idea:
http://www.gunvault.com/ Best of both worlds IMO. The chances of someone coming in your house are 1 in a million but a loaded gun for a kid to find is flirting with disaster. Since the kid everything is locked up and accessible by me only
Unless you've made up your mind on the .40, I would seriously consider getting a revolver.
A) For home defense it never jams, no fumbling with mags in the night, no issues with mag springs getting weak from lack of use, and (especially the hammerless ones) extremely simple to use.
B) You can load them with snake shot for the Rhino trips.

I second this one.... a hammerless revolver is the best, next to a shot gun of course.... but a revolver is the best home defense gun..... and if you ever need to kill somebody.... you do not have to worry about leaving shell casings behind:devil:
Group buy. I'll work the deal
I need to take the test and I am such an impulse buyer and hate waiting.
I have almost done it 10X but by the time I get the gun the trip everyone is taking there fire arms on is over
First, as AZJD said, go to a range where you can rent/try everything they have and DO. Find what fits you the best, what you shoot the best with and what is the most comfortable.
Personally, I carry a Glock 27 subcompact .40, but have the Glock 22 full size .40 in my nightstand. I shoot better with the smaller gun for whatever reason (which goes against typical reasoning).
Once you have purchased said handgun, consider taking a class that teaches you how to use it, how to draw it, and how to deal with problems 2 & 3 after the fact. Problem 1 is surviving the fight...problems 2 & 3 are the civil and criminal ramifications. Once you know problems 2 & 3 are there, and how big those hurdles are, you can make that mental line in the sand for when you will shoot and when you won't. You WANT that already pre-determined so that you are not second guessing yourself at the time when you should be acting.
You can consider a class like the 4-day defensive handgun class at Front Sight. A very good class. Here's the info: http://www.frontsight.com/courses/de...ing-course.asp
You will see it listed as a $2000 class, but you can do some searching on the internet and find certificates for around $100 that you can use for your tuition to the class. Makes it quite affordable.
The sound of the slide cocking generally gets them out of the house.
Lol okay. What happens when it doesn't? your going to put holes through em and they keep coming. I'm a fan of .45's or at least a .40. I have a P226 stainless sig .40, colt 1911 govt. .45's, and a wilson. Revolvers are nice for ladies. Snub nose 357 or you can shoot 38 specials.
You want home security though, get an 870 with a home security barrel, Then you can buy an additional 28 or 30 barrel and go shoot trap or bird hunt when you want. Just a thought. If your gun's locked and your ammo's locked forget home security. I agree with locking your guns, but not the one you plan on using. Best advise is to teach your kids, teach them well, if you still don't feel comfortable there are classes for cheap that go over all this and your kids will have a whole new understanding. Join NRA and learn your gun, hunting laws. You can rent most guns from 6-10 bucks at local ranges. Recommended. Shoot it, just don't hold it in the store. Learn how to properly hold your gun, and how to diassemble and re-assemble, and have fun

Isn't that barrel just a tad short for being legal?

I have this safe and it works decent for your hand guns. Quick access if needed.
