My new addition from Streichers...(Firearm owners, post up your pics inside)

^^^You know I approve. I also bought another Springfield not too long ago(XDs 9mm) unfortunately it's back at Springfield for recall work

 

Nice to see this thread I have 2 many to take pics of but here are my favorite 3
Stag arms 2tl burris fullfield TAC 30 and tompson center 12ga rifled slug barrel Burris scope Colt trooper MK III .357 mag bedside safe
And I am left eye dominant so the AR is left handed

 

I have been shooting left handed since the 2nd grade so for around 25yrs I can't even shoulder a firearm on the right

 

I got to pick something up today

 

My new gen4 glock 23 .40cal

 

picked up a used sub compact XD .40. really was in the market for something single stack but this will do for now. needs a light and a holster that fits a tiny gun with a light and I will like it more.



and modded my cheap shot gun, the recoil reducing stock might be the best thing ever for slugs. This will take care of a grouse, as long as you are close enough to grab it by hand.

 

Well after having my ccp for almost a year (thanks Sheepdog) I finally picked up my first carry gun. I really wanted to go full size but it was just too big to carry iwb. So I picked up its little brother the M&P 9c. I already have a old faithful iwb holster coming for it.

 

I have that same pistol. Very nice shooter. Don't be afraid to carry a full size iwb. I have a kimber 1911 that I carry. But guns are like women's shoes you need many for all occasions.

 

That's what I was thinking. It won't be long before I have a full size m&P9.

 

I'm half your size and mine's bigger then yours lol
M&P Pro 9mm 8" length

Congrat's Buddy!

 

Chong what do you eveyday carry?

 

1. M&P Pro 9mm 8" length from end to end w/5" barrel 80%
2. XDm 40cal Pro Series 5.25" barrel 15%
3. XDs 45 cal 5% of the time

 

Anyone have a M&P Shield? Held one at Fleet Farm in Brainerd and really like it. Now I can't find one anywhere!

 

I have two a 9 and 40 very nice ccw. For a small frame pistol stays on target pretty good.

 

That would be my purpose, plan to take the class over the winter. I have a Ruger SR9C as well at the moment.

 

I have the Ruger sr40c shoots nice but I like the shield better. I know that bills in Hudson wi. Has the 9mm shield to rent. You supply the ammo I will let you shoot mine.to see if you like them.

 

I have plenty of 9mm but live 250 miles in the wrong direction. I'm down in the cities often, would love to take you up on that if something ever works out. Would love to check out bills at well. Is the one in Hudson the only one with an indoor range?

 

you could say that Circle Pines And Robbinsdale are set up more for rifles and pistols whereas Hudson is just set up for pistols I believe.Hudson is just a shorter range.

 

I liked it but I wanted a double stack. (12+1) the shield is 8+1 i think

 

nice.. I carry an M&P 9mm full size IWB.. need a crossbreed holster

 

Love this thread.

Found this today...... Needless to say I was happy. Then I see that my permit to purchase expired yesterday. :/ Thankfully I was able to purchase it and have them hold it until I get my new permit to purchase.

 

You will like that. Its a nice carry pistol. Light and concealable.

 

First one I have seen on a shelf in Fargo/Moorhead/Grand Forks. A couple of the people at this gun store had my info knowing I wanted this gun. It came in Thursday, permit expired Friday, then saw it there today. Guess I will wait a week and hope I don't have issues picking it up.

 

Should have just gone to DK mags in Coon Rapids. That's where I bought mine and they had 2 others IIRC.

 

get a crossbreed... full size aint a problem and I know about carrying a full size weapon in my pants

 

Made the little trek out to Cabelas today to pick up a few 30 round mags for my Remington 597 .22lr.

 

Looking for opinions on buying a glock. Open to a 9 or 40 thinking mid or full size.leaning to the mid. No ideas on what gen or model.

 

What is the intended use? What size hand do you have? I have a 17 which is a great firearm for shooting but too large to carry for most. As most will suggest, go shoot/feel a few different sizes and see what fits best.

 

My opinion? Buy one. I have a Gen 3 17 and 26(both 9mm). They are both great shooters. Originally bought the 17 for home safety/ plinking and bought the 26 for a carry gun. As Curry said what is your use for it? I bought the 26 planning to carry but the double stack is too thick to carry IWB for me. I love my Glocks and a .40 or .45 is next.

 

It will be used for work. I did put a gen 4 17 ? In my hand last night wasn't a bad fit.

 

Whats everyone's preference on holsters? I am looking for something for my m&p shield. Would eventually be conceal/carry. Also looking for something generic also.

Also what do you use for cases for your handguns? My SR9C does't really fit in the case nicely, and the shield doesn't have one so I am thinking of trying to buy something more secure that can fit both. Might be selling my sr9c depending on how much I like the shield.

 

New to handguns, and i'm Curious if anyone here has had the opportunity to carry/shoot a Beretta Px4 Storm. Been looking around, and so far it is my top choice (before having the opportunity to shoot it) as far as comfort/price goes. Plan is to buy compact, but curious how concealable it is. I haven't decided caliber yet, but been swayed towards 9. I do plan on carrying, but not until i'm confident enough with the firearm i end up choosing and after a few classes to help familiarize myself.

I have fired a buddies Glock 17, which I liked, but I think I want an external safety. I know in a way it's counterproductive to have to deal with the safety, when in a situation where you would need to use your firearm. But with practice i'm sure it would become second nature.

I've held quite a few others at GM/Cabellas/Scheels, maybe you guys have some other ideas?

 

Awesome, thanks for the reply! I have some more thinking to do. As soon as I get back into the cities (unless someone can point me to a place that lets you rent in the Fargo/Moorehead area) i'll have to get to Bills and rent a couple different guns, and see how I like them. Anyone know if they'll cut a better deal for renting multiple guns?

 

I don't think they will cut you a deal, but take a buddy with. You can each rent a gun and swap. I did this when researching my first handgun purchase.

 

Awesome, thanks for the info!
