In the end the best post will be the one that says this:
Go to a local dealer. Pick out a bunch of them. Go to the ranch and shoot them.
If you can carry it, shoot it straight, and it will go bang every time you pull the trigger; thats the gun you want.
A gun that doesn’t fit your hand or that gives off too much recoil to aim straight, or if you cannot hold it up....it is just a piece of metal the commies want to take away from you.
