Quoted: Hi everybody. Please be nice to me, I'm new here, but for the first time in my life I think I may actually need a gun and therefore may need some advice. Why I need a gun is not what I want to talk about right now, just advice on guns. Like what's an AR15? Should I get one of those or a Glock? How much do they cost? I've always hated them and been affraid of them even though my ex-boyfriend Tre' had a lot of Glocks and stuff. My friends would freak if they knew I was asking this.

why do i get the feeling your reason is not a good reason to get one...

IM inbound Anti-G.

Hey! I ressemble that remark!

Quoted: Anyone else have any ideas? I just want some information. Thank you to 89Grand for his help.

If you are just looking for something to keep around the house/apartment for protection and maybe recreational shooting, you should look for something you feel comfortable with. I personally would not recommend a Glock since they have some unique shooting characteristics that I don't care for. If you choose a pistol, I would recommend looking at the Springfield XD-9 or XD-40. They are similar to the Glock but they have additional safety features and, in my opinion, just feel better in the hand. As was mentioned earlier, the 9mm cartridge has low recoil and, with the right ammunition, is a very effective self-defense cartridge. They usually cost between $450-$550.

If you want a rifle, an AR-15 Carbine (16" Barrel) is a good place to start looking. They are typically more expensive than the pistol. A good quality one usually starts aroung $700. Also, in self-defense situations, they can be more awkward, especially in close quarters but are far superior to a pistol at longer distances. If you are wanting a firearm strictly for self-defense, I would recommend a pistol.

It would be a great idea to go to a good gun shop and ask to see and handle what they have. Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you need good general advice, the Technical Forums are a good source of information.

Good luck!!!

Oh, and welcome to ARFCOM!!!

You have been given valuable info but so far you have chosen not to use it.  This would lead me to believe we are all just feeding the .  As for anything positive coming from this thread, it stands about as much of a chance of...ah, nevermind.

Welcome to the world of Trekkie's who shoot.  You will besuprised how few guns most of these people own and how many of them live in the basement.

Obviously this "Anti-G" is an anti-gun liberal that came here just to prove that all gun owners are obnoxious, rude, anti-social animals.
She will print out this thread and show it to her lesbian friends in her Communist Studies 101 class on Monday then they will have big circle-jerk discussion about how gun owners are deranged lunatics and chauvenists.


Ban her!

Damnit.

How could so many of you be so stoopid?

Are you that desperate to help a "damsel in distress" ?

Are you hoping to hook up with a pro-gun female?



I'm all for welcoming newbies, but this one is the most obvious case of trolling since RachelF and her "fat mexican"    

Tell ya what, If anybody can post convincing evidence that Anti-G is genuine, I will buy a membership for her it.

Some of you are just naive, but many are truly pitiful.    

    If shes like most women........she'll pick the gun with the longest barrel!

Wait that doesn't make sense. Never mind

If you ARE interested in a handgun for self defense check out the .38 revolvers at the local gun shop. Simple to use for beginners.
