So I am in the market for a handgun. I will be getting my carry permit very soon. What should I get? I will not spend too much money but I want something that will get the job done if the need ever arise. I'm thinking .40 caliber.

Glock 36, .45

This appears to be a slimline Glock and easy to handle. The price may be a little more than desirable unless you find a used one.

Danny get a glock with out a doubt. Especially if cost is concern. Guns that are a $1000 cant say they can out do the glock that is $499

I have a Glock, a Taurus and a just sold a nickle plaited taurus, all are good guns but nothing touches the glock. I have went shooting with almost every brand and I cant stress Glock enough. I shoot over 200 rounds at a time and I have never had a mis fire with or any problems with the Glock at all (which means it has been shot over a few thousand times, I go to the range , or did a lot)
Also easy maintenance very easy to clean and next to no oil.
That is my rant!!!!





you can also get a laser to just slide right on the front of the Gun , or you can get a laser/light combo that slides right on.

I sold one very similar to this, was a great gun

My suggestion? Buy one of each and buy them quickly. You may lose your chance.

Get you a REAL handgun. This is a little Colt 25 caliber semi-auto that my father-in-law carried most everywhere he went. And he didn't even have to have a carry permit. (He was a truck driver, local)
Only 4 inches long.

40 cal or above. If you really want to knock em on their butts, get a .45

Get a Beretta M9. I used one of those in the Air Force and was especially accurate from 100M.

Mister Ed,

I have one similar to that (but it's old and not in great condition, it was given to me it poor condition, so not much I can do.

These are small for easy carry, and cheap, but considered a "throw away gun" (if you use it, just ditch it, it's not worth much anyway) accuracy isn't great with that short barrel and it's a fairly small caliber if you really had to use it, there's not much knock-down power, but it will do the job, unfortunately my cousin proved this and wound up in prison over it.

I have a Glock 40 Police Issue and 357 Long Nose with vest shredding bullets that is super accurate at distances. Shoots a flame about a foot.

Rarely ever use them. I pray it stays that way.

Translation: This is how Danny convinced Wendy to let him spend the money on a handgun!

Don't worry, I did the same thing to get a .45 !

Actually, I am for it. Where we live.. we have had a few incidence where we might have needed one. I would hate to think I was trapped downstairs and my kids were upstairs and I had nothing but fists to get me through to my kids.

Someone has egged our car twice in the past 2 weeks. We will have the money with our tax return, so we are gettin' somethin'.

Note to self: Shooting someone for egging your car would not fly as self-defense in a court of law.

I have a CZ-75 and I love it. I like having a manual safety (Glock doesn't). Do a little research on negligent/accidental discharges and I think you'll find that Glock leads in that category. Glocks are excellent handguns but I wouldn't recommend one as a first.
My daughter is also in the market for a pistol and she's considering a CZ 2075 Rami or Taurus Millennium Pro.
On the subject of caliber, 9mm has been around forever and ammo is plentiful and always available. 40 S&W is sort of a new kid on the block and while it's popular now, it may not always be. If things really go bad supplies of the less abundant ammo will be exhausted first.

I want to get a Glock myself. I have been thinking about it for a while now.
