ok, should have made it more clear... i want a gun for self-defense -- nm - durwood Feb 16, 14:50 2
- Revolver. It's almost always going to fire when you need it too. Less of a chance of an accident. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 14:51 1
  - yeah, it's like the AK47 versus the M16 ... sure, the M16 has more features, but the AK47 is nigh sandproof. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:52
Go to a shooting range that rents guns... - Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 16, 14:49 5
- I would not buy a book instead. If someone breaks into your house, a book doesn't really stop them. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 14:50 4
  - And every time you buy a book, you're potentially ending a tree. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 14:52
  - okay, a baseball bat -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 16, 14:51
  - Blunt objects can be weapons, too. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:51 1

which one looks best when held sideways? -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 14:46 1

If I was just learning how to handle a gun I would recommend a revolver. - Redmond Feb 16, 14:46
The kind that pops out a little flag that says "Only messing!" -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 14:45
That depends -- what are you planning to use it for? Just playing around at target practice? Competition shooting? Self-defense? - ReluctantCynic Feb 16, 14:43 1
- It's about time someone asked this question. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 14:44
I've never owned one, and I don't think I ever will. But ... Glock 29. Or maybe the 27. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:42
9mm -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 14:42 1
- or a walther ppk 380 -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 14:43
revolver - Taurus makes some good ones. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 16, 14:41
screw the handgun....AK47 is where it's at - J Feb 16, 14:41
.357 Magnum -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 14:39 1
- Desert Eagle Point Five-Oh. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:42
