Have these two old friends, or one 3k 2011?

My first revolver. Why did I buy it? Because it was 100 dollars. The trigger is surprisingly good. The grips were trash so I swapped those for some real wood jobbers.

Lakeline barrel on a Taurus G3c, it far exceeds the stock barrel I had. No feed issues at the range today, it ported too, and feels better on target acquisition. It was jamming every 8-12 rounds. Now it has no hang-ups. It’s still a Taurus, just thought people would like to know if they are having feed ramp issues. Also tried my new Canik TP9 elite sc, it was beautiful, that trigger 😍 also tested a G 43x, damn that thing is light, and feels nice, and it ruuuuuuuns. I may now be into Glock…. Hmmmmmmm 🤔

Thoughts?

My wife and I are both looking at purchasing our first handguns in the near future. I wanted to see why brands we should stick too when searching. We want a budget each of around $600ish. There is so much info out there that we know we need to go to the range and to a gun shop and see how these guns feel in our hands but I just wanted to see if there are some brands to look for and some brands to avoid (and why if so)

Took the advice of a member here and updated my 40yr old ultra dot that was on there. I like the look of that rail system honestly. Its different and i think its pretty sweet. If I don't like that sight on the pistol im gunna throw it on a carbine or something. Cheers

Hello Handgun Reddit, I, 23M, am finally getting my Concealed Carry Permit and wanted to ask you guys what you would recommend for a good first concealed carry handgun. Reliability is my primary concern, with weight/size and capacity following in that order. Basically I want something that will 100% not blow my nutsack off when I am carrying it (or the person behind me if I underarm carry) without it being too heavy or cumbersome. I am open to any and all suggestions.

What are some of your favorites when it comes to “just working” I’m not talking flat shooting, perfect trigger, or how it feels. I’m talking what are the handguns you could put on your side and no matter what you go through(mud, snow, sand, rain…etc) it’ll run when you need it to?

So I'm looking at picking up another pistol but stuck between a few they are as follows

Sig Sauer P250 in 40 S&W Sig Sauer P250 in 9mm Smith&Wesson model 10 38 special Smith&Wesson M&P9c

Just curious what would y'all choose

Put together this RXM build. Was it expensive? Yes. But it shoots like a dream. So much nicer than my glock 19

Now is your chance… tell me what YOU recommend for concealed carry. For reference I’m 6’3, 230, so I could carry something a bit larger than micro.

I will shoot and report back on all recommendations. Thanks in advance!

I've been picking up most of my accessories from this site I really trust, but I'm always interested in hearing what other folks are using

I decided to look into getting a pistol for myself. I tried out 2-3 out and I had three take aways from it. Firstly I think I’m set on a 4.0C echelon or a m&p 9mm performance center in metal. Second was that I still have a bit of fear when it comes to recoil. I find myself hesitating or fearing in a way before I fully depress the trigger. Just knowing the recoil is coming. Third is I have a hard time gripping it. I kept limp gripping compacts causing them to jam up. I did better with the full size echelon but still found myself losing some grip in my right hand (non dominant). I think the grip issue is mainly due to breaking my right collar bone a year and half ago and the arm being weaker compared to my dominant hand. I am curious what I can do to help build my grip strength back up for shooting. I have started going to the gym consistently and I’m sure that’ll help some. I’d love to carry and get a pistol but I don’t think I’ll be ready/safely be able to keep a firearm till I can solve these issues. I’d appreciate any advice.

I am looking for a gun to both conceal carry and hone defence. Right now I am between the Glock 43x and the S&W MP Shield Plus. Tonight I am testing both before making the purchase. Anyone has comments on either? I will also be getting training (which I already have received in the past), but if anyone has more comments I would appreciate it.

My Beretta plate arrived today so I installed my red dot. Looks a little odd, not sure if I’ll keep it on the Beretta, but I’ll leave it there for now.
