I love my Taurus PT 24/7 .40 S&W. I'll be a Taurus man for life now (barring some amazing pawn shop deals ). They have some pretty awesome guns. Super reliable, and great prices too.

I have the glock 27. 40 cal sub compact. I love this gun for concealed carry. I have had my share of pistols and by far this is the best one IMO. The XD would have been my 2nd choice. Nice gun also!

I liked both the XD and the Glock so we will see what I get in a year and six months when I turn 21. Anyways I made it out to the range today with my dad and put 150 rounds through her. Flawless! I love that pistol more every time I shoot it. I can't wait to put many many more rounds down range Just working on my dry fire technique right now nipping the flinching at the bud!

Hope your not actually dry firing but using a snap cap.

I may get some snap caps tomorrow. Glocks are fine to dry fire though so no worries

I bought a 19c Last fall. C means compensated. It is loud as hell but fairly accurate for non-adjustable sights though. I want some tridium adjustable night sights. Lone Wolf is a company that specializes in Glock aftermarket parts.

I agree treat all weapons as if they are loaded, but those 2 features are nice.
I dunno I guess I'm a little old fashioned when it comes to guns I hate plastic always have and the glock I bought is a good reliable gun and, once I had the grip reduced I hit with it just fine but I still don't carry it and as far as I'm concerned no gun needs more safety's than the series 70 1911 yes I even think the firring pin safety is one to many just one more thing to go wrong I mean lets look at it reasonably people carried DA revolvers for years and to this day the only safety on most of those is the fact the trigger pull is enough that you have to consciously pull the trigger, semi autos I would be perfectly happy with the thump safety only.

p.s. primary carry is a Taurus PT-101 afs stainless with a match custom fit barrel/locking block and a 3 lb trigger pull (SA mode)

guns are just like cars everyone has a opinion on which is the best and what is good or bad what i should have said is that I have disliked most guns that have a loaded chamber indicator and I view that item as extraneous and unnecessary but if you like them it's all good at least your not anti gun

My daily carry is th XD45 Compact. I chose it over the Glock because of the way it fit my paw. Both are nice. Just get the one that shoots the best for you.

This might seem like a silly question but what do you all do with these guns?
