    Default Anybody have a Pistol?

    I'm looking for a < $500 reliable pistol. Any suggestions? No smaller than 9mm...and needs to be concealable/to carry.

    I'm going to buy another pistol soon. I've decided on a Glock 19. You'll get many opinions, what will the main use/purpose be?

    Glock is an excellent weapon. The only down side is no external saftey, it's all in the trigger.

    Here’s a forum to check that may help with your choose. Most all these folks own several handguns.

    Here is where I’m ordering from, great prices.

    That's where I got my shotgun. There are easily 500 pistols for sale at any given show.
