The Taurus TCP will be a perfect fit for you...on top of that it comes with a special pouch that is really really discreet. .380 with 2 6 round clips. It is what I am buying for my wife after doing much research. She wants it in its pink color, but I will not insult you and automatically assume you would want a pink gun. Another choice is a KelTec.Originally Posted by anacki
I recently sold my springfield 40 cal XD because it was a little to much for me to carry.As a woman I need something a little smaller that will fit in my hand better. Currently I have a Beasa Thunder 380 to carry,but that will be replaced as soon as I find a better fit.I'm thinking of buying a Tomkat since I've been eyeing them for years.
Keepzdasneakz,
Ain't that a beaut? By the way, does anybody know if the Compensator series for glocks is worth looking into? Based on what I googled, it's about what....$40 more than the regular?
Dirty,
^NJ requires a license
That's why an interested gun owner has a responsibility to learn their State AND County/City rules for weapons. Some States have very relaxed rules for handguns, but certain high crime counties/cities may have more stringent rules. Also remember requiring a permit to buy and having to register a newly acquired pistol is not the same as needing a license for a pistol. It's complicated to make a blanket statement due to varying state laws, so it's good to follow the link provided by Dathbgboy.
KayCurrency,
Anyone own a HK P30L? Pros? Cons?
Like honestly and no bias here because I don't even own an HK pistol...But HK Pistols of ANY caliber are considered some of the best in the world. They are extremely rugged and durable, and reliable. They are also very accurate. The P30 L is part of their newest line of pistols, which also includes the HK45 and HK45 Compact. It's good to clean your pistol after every use as a habit, but to be honest HK pistols can go around 5000 rounds without any cleaning. That's just good to know that it is that reliable, but again it's just good to be consistent with cleaning as a habit regardless. Cons: They are expensive...but you definitely get what you pay for. Some people think they are too bulky, but it's not that bad and they are relatively lightweight.

I wish HK made the P30L in a stainless/poly combo... if they have...I havent seen it...
Whether it's been from video games (Metal gear solid) or watching channels on guns, I've always wanted an HK as well. But damn, their price tags really areOriginally Posted by ElderWatsonDiggs

Oh, and they are German...judging by your Avy, your Sig, and what I've seen you post in other threads I'm sure that's just fine for you. For me it was a choice between a HK USP Tactical .45 or an FNP .45 Tactical (which is a Belgian company). I held the USP Tac at a gunstore and I almost didn't want to give it back to the salesman. I literally held it, racked the slide a few times, aimed down the sights, even did a few point drills. I was in love, the salesman was laughing (he knows me and had no problem with it). I just wanted to try out the new kid on the block (FNP .45 Tactical) and I can say that it is on par with HK's.
Oh trust me I love the HK Mark 23, and it was on my wish list. Then I saw a fully kitted out FNP .45 Tactical (it's actually meant to be in the same role as your Grail, just more modern. (Red Dot sight on the top, and holds more rounds of .45 ammo 12 versus 16). I'd like to say that if Solid Snake was around today he'd pick a FNP Tactical. It will take at least a year before I get mine like the picture below...it takes at least 6 months for the Silencer alone (ATF paperwork). Yes that is a rectangular silencer. It's the hottest newest suppressor on the market, called the Silencerco Osprey.Originally Posted by keepzdasneakz

First time seeing it and I like how it incorporates both the modern pistol design with the good looks of a beretta and such. I've never shot .45 but if I do and I like it , i might check into HKs as well. I think everybody has that one GRAIL in their desired arsenal and I gotta say above all I'd love to have one of these one day:
Solid Snake had one, I want one too...
Seattle 206 if I'm not mistaken picked up a Sig556 not too long ago. Anyway I think they are great weapons, reliable, and I even know of a few agencies that use them as their Carbine of choice. Great thing about them is that they use the Piston system instead of the Direct Impingement system that most AR's use (even though a lot of the newer AR's are going to the Piston) which means you will not have as much crap to clean out of the breech/chamber area.Originally Posted by 6dollaBURGER
I just took a look at the Sig556 yesterday.. think I'm going to pick up an AR15 or sig556 within the next week.. they're about the same pricewise.. but I like that Sig is 'less common' around here. However, the AR feels a lot more manageable (lighter/shorter)...
Anyone have any input? Elder?
Anacki,
Elder I'll definately check out both guns you suggested next time I go to the store. The pink looks nice but I'm not into colorful or decorative weapons currently,lol.
I figured as much, but yeah check those out if you get a chance, the salesman at the store can probably lead you to others in that same category as well. I think more women should legally carry firearms. Sure beats the heck out of pepper spray in the purse. Instead you can pepper and spray with bullets. Ok that was corny, please disregard.

Now that's a Big Bore Pistol. You can almost stick your pinky in the barrel of a .50 Cal. Hope you are a self-reloader though cause .50 Cal bullets are almost $1 per trigger squeeze.Originally Posted by MASERATI HARM

Guncrafters Got a 50 cal Drop in Conversion Kit for the Glock 20/21 ..
Damn thing moved getting a Glock up my short List
