Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

This is the one I got her, by the way:

If she can't pull the trigger on that gun she may not be able to rack a slide... My daughter and my wife have a very hard time racking a slide... Sometimes they can't even do it. |

She seemed OK with the 1911 and the Glock .40, so hopefully she'd be OK. But I think the key is to have her try a few before I buy...

Yup... Just remember , a .40 is a good option but if it's not her size she won't carry it... I would rather her have a .380 that she will carry than a .40 she will not.

Yep. A buddy of mine just got a nice little .380 that I think would be really good for her.

I think you'd be better served upping your price range by $100-$150, though.
That would put you in the range to get a Springfield XD, a Smith & Wesson (my carry gun is an M&P 9c) or a Glock. I own or have owned all of these, and they'd all be a big step up from that Ruger or some crappy little revolver. |

I'm looking into all options. Thanks for the suggestion, that's not a bad idea...

I'm not sure how plentiful .22lr ammo is these days, but Midway has some in stock - http://www.midwayusa.com/product/592...10-boxes-of-50

If it's used, I would not pay more than $450 or so, max. And it should come with at least two magazines. The .40 S&W are a little more, bigger bullet, more stopping power. But still, don't let some POS at a gun show tell you "these are hard to find" because they aren't. You can get a brand new one at websites like Guns America but you gotta pay for it. Like $600 or so, but it's in the box. Don't let a reerun at a gun show screw you.

reasonable is up to you. you might come across one that has been modified with aftermarket add-ons such as a rotating barrel (so it still folds with a mounted scope), improved front sight, among others. For a bare bones with a minimum of 2 mags I would pay no more than $500. I've only gone shooting once but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm waiting for the stock extender and front rail to come in. When I collapse it I can fit it, ammo, and a handgun into my old rifle bag when I go to the range. I quite like this thing. |
