I'd love to get a gun. I have never shot one before and I'd definitely do some practice shooting at the range before getting one. But before that, I need to get a gun permit... just haven't had the time yet.

My dad has a 9mm and it is pretty nice...
The PX4 doesn't compare to the XD9. Unless you are buying an HK or something that costs x2, you simply can't beat the Springfield. My opinion. I have one so I am a bit biased. Quote:

I am about as left wing as they come (most traditionally anti-gun), but a while back my sister was wanting to shoot a semi auto so we went to the range. Year or so later and I have 4 guns and hit up the range nearly every week. I have also taken many women that have never shot and are afraid of guns, and if you avoid the Dirty Harry types, it really can be about as much fun as you can legally have with your pants on.

I looked into shooting ranges but they want me to have a gun license first.. so i gotta get that before I do anything else.

I guess that is one of the benefits of living in Kansas. You need nothing other than a driver's license to rent from a range, and only have to pass the back ground check to buy a gun. I figured every place was like that. Except for Texas where I think they can fine you if you don't have a gun...

The Mk 19 fires 40 mm grenades at a cyclic rate of 325 to 375 rounds per minute, giving a practical rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute (rapid) and 40 rounds per minute (sustained). The weapon operates on the blowback principle, which uses the chamber pressure from each fired round to load and re-cock the weapon. The Mk 19 is able to lob its grenade at a maximum distance of 2,212 meters, though its effective range for a point target is about 1,500 meters, since the large rear leaf sight is only graduated to 1500 meters. The nearest safe distance to launch the grenade is 75 meters. In addition, the Mk 19's flash suppressor and its lack of smoke during firing makes it difficult for enemies to spot and counter it. For night operation, an AN/TVS-5 night vision sight can be fitted. If you wanted to see a cool video of one check it out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpXN7...elated&search= I had all kinds of fun firing these while Active Duty...

XD's rock... I miss mine. $5 and a background check? Not too bad. And for home defense, 1+ on the shot gun. You don't even have to aim, if you miss it won't go through the wall and hit your neighbors, the sound of a round being chambered will pretty much give an intruder the sh*ts.... plus they are fun to shoot: "Paper target go bye-bye!!!". Typically cheap to boot and utterly reliable.
When you get better at shooting it, jump to a 12ga magnum, XX turkey choke and #4 shot.... alternating with double-00.... heh, heh, heh.... BOOM!!! |

Man, if Toyota had thought of that, the Yaris would be the best selling car in the US right now...
