I work with an armored car service. Currently they supply weapons (S&W .38s). Starting the first of the year they will no longer provide weapons and employees will have to buy their own.

I was looking for input from those of you that know your guns on what you would suggest. Talking with a few of the people here that own their own weapon I have a few thoughts but the more info the better.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am currently thinking Semi-Auto, either 40 or 45 cal. Kind of stuck on either a Kahr or Sig Sauer at this moment but wanting more info from the avid collectors, and "gun nuts"

Thanks for the input

 

I use a slingshot

 

Compound Bow is where it's at.

 

Honestly, i dont have any handguns. But that doesnt mean i have never used any either ( read between the lines ). So i cant be any help. Sorry.

 

the sig sauer is not as durable as a Glock or an H&K USP, but they are more accurate...if your going to spend the money, you should buy something with tried and true durability, you don't want to take this weapon to the range a few times and the frame break on you...that would definitely be a no-go... also, there really aren't many military units who use this weapon, i know of a few special SAS units, and some navy seal units, but that's about it...

have you put any thought into the HK? or even the Beretta (which beat out the sig P226 as the official US sidearm)

 

springfield xd9 ftw

 

Funny thing is I was sort of worried about the durability of the Glock... Pretty much though that Sig would be pretty dependable. I'm more concerned with the weapon breaking while on duty then at the range! (but I hear what your saying.) Glock, Beretta and Kimber are actually the names I'm hearing here at work.

I had looked at a catalog that had HK in it but they seemed a little high, don't mind paying a little more for the quality though. Even saw a Springfield in the catalog but I'm pretty inexperienced as far as weapons so I thought I'd look for someone on the web that had better knowledge then I. Not too tough to be honest! Once again thanks for the input!

 

Glock firearms are proven to withstand and function under neglect of maintenance and under extreme duress. This includes the failure of operators to conduct basic cleaning and lubrication...

When it comes down to saving my life or the lives of fellow officers and civilians, Glocks have proven to be effective, efficient and trustworthy beyond comparison to the competition...

 

here is a little weapon ****!

this is what i want!



this is what i currently have, and i love it dearly! i want to switch the buttstock to a magpul (little more comfort).

 

and i also want to change the sight to a eotech 557...
