Advice on buying some Pistols

That's not even something to think about. Buy the Crimson Trace grips.

 

if you are worried about getting home invaded or riot jacked, why screw around with anything less? Handguns are a waste of time.

If we're talking 1911's, has anyone brought up Les Baer? Definitely the best 1911 manufacturer out there.

There's a-whole-nother tier of manufacturers above Kimber, both in quality and customer service...but to save you some time, just look up Les Baer and STI.

=============
Actually having shot a gun for almost 50 years ;
some @ night,
@ star light nite,
@ full moon night.
@partial moon light. It is fraught with danger- but mostly for the rioter or robber on my private property.

I am talking about an intruder stupidly coming on my private property @ night.Someone awake[adrenalin does that] who can hit a squirrels head; the human
heart lung area target is plenty big.

Head shots are deadly, some squirrel shooters/snipers do that ;
but most military & police usually go for center mass[heart lung]

Semi -automtics [shotgun rifle, pistol];are real fun, mostly what i own;
but target shooting in AUG, a Ruger stainless steel ,22 was typical with 48 hollow point rounds fired, 2 rounds jammed.

 

I understand what you are saying murray, It's just large as to the what, why, and the wherefores of a modern day firearm purchase. The choice is utterly bewilderingly, depending on where you live, and what is legal.

A lot of people don't know for example, that the word "sniper"comes from Snipe hunters, , Snipes, are very hard to shoot, a small headed wading bird. Good eating, but very hard to shoot.


Hence the english expression, a "Sniper".

 

==============

Good point,Ac;
especially about being careful. I hate the thoughtless excuse some use after a firearm acciident''I did not know it was loaded''.

Especially be carefiul around children;
i learned to shoot/ hunt/10 commandments of gun safety as a child .

I heard a brake/intruder in my basement @ night, so heart pounding , i sneaked down stairs, shotgun loaded
I stopped, & heard that trespasser, in my basement!.

I slowly turned on the light, Remington 12 gauge ready to fire;
it was skunk, so i laughed a little, lowered my Remington left the door open.

So sometimes it pays lots to be careful ;
& wait for aclear shot. I never did pull the trigger on that skunk
