Quoted: He picked up a Dickenson pump 12 Guage. It looks like a decent gun for the money. He will feel safer out solo hiking than walking about with just a 9mm. Who would choose a pump 12g for hiking over a semi auto 9mm pistol?  Even in Alaska, I'll take a Glock 17 with a +5 extension for 23 rounds of 9mm over a pump shotgun with 5 rds of 12g. |

Buying your first gun is one of those rites of passage. I remember doing it. Good for him, made his own choice. Everyone should own a pump 12 ga. They always work, mostly. |

You’re clearly right demonstrated by the people that deal with dangerous animals around the world universally choosing 9mm handguns to protect themselves and clients. So glad you’re here to pass the good info on and keep people on the right path. |

Love these threads. You can always tell the people that have absolutely no fucking clue what a big Brown can do.

PSA has a very similar gun with a pistol grip stock(NOT pistol grip only) for $149. Likely the same gun with a different importer. Of course, transfer fees can be a real bitch and make a cheap gun not worth the effort.
