About three months ago I posted in this subreddit for suggestions about buying the first handgun, well I bought one finally and it’s a Stoeger 8000 FT, very reliable, looks good , feels good in hand as if it were built for my grip. It has less recoil in comparison to other guns of the same category due to rotating barrel mechanism.

I need some pointers on how to maintain a gun i.e cleaning, lubing, storage etc.

Both great pieces, getting one Friday and need to decide. I wanna hear some opinions and thoughts

How do yall like the g45 gen 6?

Love the color way

You’ll be mine Friday 😝

Hi all,

I'm hoping I might be able to seek some advice from you all about a first CCW. There seems to be no shortage of options out there, and I can't really seem to narrow it down any further (and all the reviews I find elsewhere don't give too much concreteness either). Any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Here's what I'm looking at:

• Springfield Hellcat Pro Comp
• Springfield Echelon 4.0c
• Canik MC9 Prime
• Canik Prime Radian
• S&W Shield X Comp
• S&W 2.0 Comp Carry
• I hear good things about the Sig P365 series, but not as much as the above

Has anyone tried this?

You got 1k to spend on a handgun…what are you getting?

Just another visit for the Kimber 2K11. Man I really think it's one of my most favorite shooters!

Definitely nicer feeling in hand. Couldn’t really tell a difference in trigger if there was one. Magwell is done very nicely and it sure does look good.

I know best is a broad term, but overall, what gun in each category below do you think has the best features and performance for the money?

- striker

- da/sa

VP9a1x/507comp/TLR7HLX

The first semi-automatic handgun I ever bought, and it's still trucking. Never had a single malfunction, ever.

Has pretty much everything I want on a gun aside from a modern rail, and it's solid enough I can use it as a hammer when I run out of bullets haha. Olight PL Mini 2 has been surprisingly solid, no rail adapter needed and hasn't had any issues in at least 1000 rounds.

It's not fancy, it's not modern, but it's mine and I still like my brick of a "compact" 9.

If you had 450 cash and could only pick bet8these 3 low end hsnd guns , which would you pick

Options and experiences

LCP MAX, Hellcat, Hellcat Pro Comp, M&P 2.0 Metal, Garrison.

It's been amazing appendix/pocket carrying these 2 all summer, HIGHLY recommend to anyone as these are excellent shooting pocket sized pistols at a perfect price. The EHG Magpul version of the LCP MAX is tough to find but honestly the best feeling pocket gun even for large lengthy fingers in my opinion feels way better and outperforms the S&W BG 2.0 in everyway. The DB9 is the smallest 9mm I'm willing to rely on and after cushioning/thicking up the grip it shoots excellent and very controllable for its size. I honestly think it's less snappy than a stock 43x/p365. What are y'all's thoughts?
