I was away for an afternoon of lunch and shooting at a gun range with a friend. It was fun, and I hit the target exactly where I was supposed to. The only thing I didn't like: they make you wait a second or two between shots.

In case you were wondering, I used a 9mm Glock 19 model. Read analysis of the Glock 19.

And always, who can't resist the lovely Jaclyn Smith from Charlie's Angels? :)

Freeze, Buster!

If anyone yells "NO RAPID FIRE" when I'm protecting my home.... I'm going to assume it's not the range master.

She needs to find IPSC in her area.

I’ve got a Glock. Nice gun. I prefer the Walther PPK for carrying, easier to conceal. Pistol-gripped shotgun for home defense.

Got a couple of “playtime” guns with no practical use whatsoever — Desert Eagle, 44 Magnum, and a muzzle-loading musket. Fun to shoot ... but a little unwieldy. Desert Eagle’s just too big. 44’ll knock you over. Particularly the musket, though ... nice big plume of smoke and a loud noise. Can’t hit anything, though.

There's a YouTube video linked on the site to a Glock being fired under water. I thought this was “usually” dangerous because of the stress put on a barrel by having to force water from the barrel by the fired projectile. Will the Colt 1911 do this? Also, what's the effective range of .45ACP fired from a Glock under water? I wouldn't think more than a couple of feet. I figured you'd know. :-)

[JRandomFreeper]

Yep.

A woman needs a gun with plenty of stopping power but not too much kickback. Its all a matter of testin' em on the gun range before finding the right weapon.

I always thought she was the most beautiful of the nonsensical Charlie's Angles.

I wonder if anyone remembers her running in a relay race between various movie stars, you know the one with Howard Cosell? She must have beat the rest by 60 yards.

Does she shoot handguns in real life?

[SnakeDoctor]

True enough.

SIG. My ex-wife's life was worth about $400 more than mine. I got a Bersa.

Now that's a revolver. I was watching an old murder mystery movie from the late 40s and the murder weapon was a 32 cal. automatic pistol and through the whole movie they kept calling it a revolver. I had to laugh out loud as the Liberal in those days didn't know any more than the liberals of today.

She won’t get it with a 19. She needs something that shoots a round with a .4.. in it not a 9MM.

[Billthedrill]

I sure like my 19. Nice little dependable piece, might be a bit thick for some ladies’ hands but very handy for most people. One nice thing about the Glock is that as you train and become recoil-tolerant you can step up to the next caliber in what is essentially the same form factor.

Incredibly stupid statement.

[panthermom]

That is the same gun that I have.

[BruceysMom]

I love the Glock .23. light weight small gun, great stopping power. Too bad my ex. got it in the divorce.

[mountn man]

You think a 44 mag will knock you over, try a 454 casull. It'll give you a real headache. BANG!BONK!

[SnakeDoctor]

I’ll have to give it a shot.

What the Frack is that funky revolver with the barrel mounted so that the firing cylinder is on the bottom. Weird!
