Ordered one of these bad boys on saturday! such a gorgeous and amazingly accurate weapon!

obviously im in the USA so yes it is real, its in .40 S&W calibre and is the chosen side arm for the secret service, US marshals and a host of other enforcement agencies...... love it!

i'll get some pics when it comes through this week, maybe a little video too ;o) ahhhhh the land of the free.... the home of the psycho's haha

D/E .50 would rip you in half 8)

glock for the win, german AFAIK (as are most well engineered things)

desert eagle is all hype, its a crap weapon regardless of what calibre it comes in, .50 its just too big and heavy and the .50 round was never designed to be fired in a 'semi automatic' clip such as the desert eagle. which is why the capacity is so poor on the desert eagle. they then brought out the .44 and have recently done regular calibre versions, just plain hype really. if you want a usable .50 hand gun, go for one of the smith and wesson 500 variants... now thats a beast.

Glocks are ok, no frills do what they say on the tin kind of weapon. just a bit boring for me and the ergonomics of the grips dont agree with me either.

I forgot to mention the work horse horse browning 9mm....quality weapon.

double tap during vehicle drills is the dogs. .. ive had a browning go on automatic! the sear snapped inside the weapon and it ran away emptying the mag

any way pistols are merly a side arm-

looking good gunner 8)

i run a colt AR 15 .223 as my main weapon here in the US. Its fully stacked and loaded and is the complete bollocks! but its a little too big to carry out shopping :oops:

For the past couple of years there has been somewhat of an ammunition shortage, probably because the companies are supplying the army with rounds etc... thus the average price of rounds has gone up. i buy in bulk from various online outlets here in the US out of state so i dont pay sales tax. i buy 1000 rounds .40 180grain FMJ for around $220. these are only for practicing, and target shooting down at the range, i use Cor-Bon 135grain JHP for self defense. these are a lot more expensive, circa $20 per box of 20, but they are the nads when it comes to stopping power.

Browning has always been legendary when it comes to reliability and as a workhorse, just lacks a bit of finess for the everyday normal world for me. the other alternative i had was a H&K USP compact .40, thats a gorgeous weapon, but the hand grip was very odd!

I'm a yank by birth and maybe I'm just so english now but I do think its sad and very scary that we live in a world where people feel they need to take a gun out with them for self defence when they go shopping. :?
Sorry to ruin the fun!

'Guns are as responsible for killing people as Video camera's are of making porn' 8)

Don't get me wrong I like firing a gun (AK47 / M16's etc in Cambodia) but I find this it all a little worring considering recent events...There really in not any need to be showing off your firearms on here.

if you dont like looking, simply dont view, there are many people on here who have a healthy passion for safety, sport and shooting. Showing off my handgun is a personal choice, hand guns in the UK or Europe for that matter dont kill any where near the amount of people who are killed or injured by cars, and that includes, women, young children, grannies etc... so the next time you show a picture of your car..... simply remember its more of a weapon than any gun, bazooka or knife....

... its called a reality check, just because it goes bang does mean its evil. I have shot for nearly 10 years and have never had the urge to kill anyone, i havent shot anyone, i havent been injured shooting nor have any of my fellow shooters. Its a complete 'fear culture' and scare mongering from the masses which taints peoples views of weapons of any kind. now thats the real sad point.

As i said, your car is more likely to kill someone than my sig 229 is :roll:

liked using the Walther P99 and this one, but for me as mr gibson has previously said... i'd go for the glock.

i once fired off 10,000 rounds off in an hour. barrel went white hot, you could see the bullets moving through.

LAW 94 is where the testosterone is....just dont fire it with your mouth open..it creates a vacuum...it sucked the air from my lungs!
