I'm again looking to sell my Kahr P9; it's in great working condition and I keep it well cleaned. Small and great for concealed carry. Comes with two magazines, original manual, and hard case. Asking $475.

I won't have a chance to make it to the gun show this weekend, fyi, so plz no "sell it at the gun show!" responses.

Thanks!

Troodat. You have to know what things are worth or it's easy to pay too much at the Raleigh gun show.

I went to a gun show in Texas and it blew the Raleigh show out of the water. Bigger venue. More gun dealers and fewer tchotchke dealers. Better prices. Fewer sketchy undesirables. Lots of cops but they're there buying for their own gun collections.

I want to move to the South when I graduate!

Still looking for that Dillon Press if anyone knows of one somewhere...
thanks!

5/6/2007 5:05:49 PM

decent show


sucks that Stripped AR lowers went up so much


bought a few things

5/6/2007 6:10:38 PM

^ I thought it kind of sucked, personally, since it seemed there were a lot of empty spaces where booths used to be. That and the usual $200 markup on the most inane shit. I'm going to pay 650 for a mid length upper when Pete @ Legal Transfers can get me one for 434 shipped? Right on, buddy, keep looking for the mentally challenged.

I did get to handle a couple S&W .22s that I was considering buying from CDNN, which made the decision for me, they felt nice.

Bought a couple of DigiLight replacement lamps, MagPul baseplates, picked up some Georgia Arms ammo on the recommendations of a lot of you.. looking forward to trying it out. I was a little concerned at the 115gr .40 "+p" they had listed, as there is no such thing.

5/6/2007 11:09:19 PM

my buddy bought some 44 mag from them, great prices on the ammo.

5/6/2007 11:51:43 PM

Thunder, they had .40 +p? That's odd. Odd and maybe a bit scary actually.
Anyway, is cdnn still selling the handguns? I haven't found a straight answer yet. They pulled the handguns from their latest catalog and I've heard that they quit and that they still are but just not advertising. I'm still waiting to get an email back from them.

5/7/2007 12:03:04 AM

yeah i noticed they didn't have any handguns this month too...

WTB: Walther P22 or similar

5/7/2007 12:11:15 AM

thunderbear

you're right

mags were up $5-10

AR lowers and uppers were up $50-100

I did buy a rifle there... I'm considering selling it since it isn't exactly what I wanted but I wanna shoot it first

remington 700 adl. 30-06 2.8x10x44 simmons aetec, leupold base/rings...


found a good deal on a bunch of 7.62 and picked up all they had!

picked up 12 random AR mags for 5 each also

5/7/2007 9:38:59 AM

^^

From what I've read, it's a corrupted file on the download link, but some enterprising retards at CDNN decided to bullshit the first few people that called, instead of asking what was really going on. Everyone that's called CDNN at GlockTalk has gotten a positive response about them continuing to sell handguns.

If you look at the download, it's missing about 40 pages.

I seriously hope that fucking rimjob that said CDNN was going to stop selling handguns because of Va Tech gets beaten severely about the head and shoulders.

I have a fully supported chamber in my Steyr, but I'm not about to try to imitate Glock's patented Grenade Action!™ with some .40 +p

5/7/2007 10:11:56 AM

got some 7x57mm mauser ammo for 30 bucks for 2 boxes



was pretty pumped


guy wanted 19.10 for each box

5/7/2007 11:26:50 AM

I called cdnn to get in on some of those glock mags and they had sold out

[Edited on May 7, 2007 at 11:29 AM. Reason : lawl at the ammo we bought]

5/7/2007 11:29:02 AM

Suggestions for a new (first) pistol?

I've shot a Glock .45 and Sig .45, courtesy of gunguy


Liked both but felt like a .45 is a bit much for just target shooting


Maybe a 9mm or .40 would be more appropriate


I like how the SW99 looks but I've never shot one

5/7/2007 1:27:17 PM

I prefer a .357 sig or a .40 over 9 and 45

I think both of those are the best carry rounds available

5/7/2007 1:28:38 PM

There's something to be said for a 10mm

5/7/2007 4:02:35 PM

haha yeah, but unless you buy cor-bon or something from a high performance manufacturer or handload, factory loads just aren't that impressive


and I have a 10...

5/7/2007 4:19:04 PM

a 9mm is a good round for cheap shooting and its got take down power maybe not like a 40 or 45 but not many people can take 1 and still come at you

5/7/2007 4:25:25 PM

a 40 isn't that much more expensive

and does a damn good job


better yet, buy a .357 glock for carry, and put a .40 bbl on it for targets

(I bought 1k rounds of .357 sig ammo for 200)

5/7/2007 4:51:20 PM

^^ i got freinds that are cops and have seen ppl take more than 10 rds or 9MM and walk to the ambulance. it's does not have the knock down power of larger rounds but if good rounds (high end JHP) are used they can be effective.

5/7/2007 5:07:40 PM

Just my $.02, but if the folks that shot them could shoot worth a damn, it'd only take 3.
A ranking marine was asked by a reporter why they didn't upgrade their Berretta 92's (9mm) to a higher caliber round, since all the civilian police departments were doing it for the "knock down power".
He said, "I don't care what you shoot. One to the head and 2 to chest and you're going down."

A well shot .22 could do the same.

I'm a proponent for the 9mm simply because it's lighter, you can carry more in the field, and it can be used effectively when shot correctly. Then again, I probably shoot more than most LEOs...

Don't get me wrong, I love my .40 and .357... LOVE my .40 cal... But for ccp with backup mags I can put more holes in the right places, which trumps bigger holes in the wrong places... With a slightly smaller "foot print" on my person.

[Edited on May 7, 2007 at 5:46 PM. Reason : .]

5/7/2007 5:44:48 PM

but if you're talking full size and mis size pistols, it makes no sense to choose the 9 over the 40 or 357.

the ammo difference in size and weight is minute, you can still stuff 15 in a .40 or .357 cal glock

but the difference it makes when it hits the target is dramatic

bullet energy also does the "stopping" damage, something that you can only get with the right 9mm rounds

I love shooting my 9mm, but given the same size pistol, I'll take the .40 or the .357 sig over it any day of the week.

the cost isn't that much different nowadays either

5/7/2007 5:52:47 PM

50 cent got shot 9 times.

5/7/2007 6:26:54 PM

I agree pwrstrk... To an extent....
That extent being that I have recently reloaded about 1,000 rnds of .40 at a fraction of the cost of buying new 9 or .40. The penetration and round expansion of the .40 is definitely something to consider. But again, for CCP, I'd go 9mm for it's size and capability, plus you can potentially pack an extra 2rnds in the mag. depending on the pistol.
If I was pushed to decide my "favorite pistol/round", I'd go with my .40cal XD hands down. If I had it in sub-compact I may reconsider for concealed carry. I guess I have to get one now to decide

[Edited on May 7, 2007 at 7:16 PM. Reason : .]

5/7/2007 7:15:07 PM

I try to have something in every caliber myself

5/7/2007 7:25:35 PM

You just can't argue with logic.

5/7/2007 7:51:28 PM

Ideally, would like to have a Bren 10, but realistically, that shit is not happening in this lifetime

1076, or G29 is much more likely, and if I'm lucky, a Delta Elite. Please, Santa

That would put me at .380, 9mm, 10mm, 10mm light, and .45.

5/7/2007 8:04:52 PM

Went to Davis today and shot a few different things...


So far, Im leaning towards a 9mm, primarily the Glock 17


Anyone own a Taurus? I like their 24/7 9mm....very comfortable grip and solid feel



Any suggestions?

5/8/2007 3:20:11 PM

just make sure the taurus isnt a ford

5/8/2007 3:30:39 PM

<doont doont cheeshhh>

joke of the week






so i really like the guys at davis....nice guys, very helpful today

is it a good place to purchase a handgun or should i get it online or somewhere else?

5/8/2007 3:57:29 PM

if you think they are nice. hit up personal defense off of tryon (in garner) and also lawmens (right past personal defense).

5/8/2007 4:21:21 PM

^^ don't buy anything from Davi's they are over priced and don't know there stuff

5/8/2007 5:01:19 PM

Quote :

"Anyone own a Taurus?"

In my limited experience with them they suck for the most part with the exception of their PT-92. They bought the PT-92 tools from Beretta when their contract with the Brazilian military ran out and they seem pretty solid.

A friend of mine has a Taurus 9mm with fixed sights that shoots 10" to the left at 10'. Another friend of mine had one and the barrel was defective. He said the only good thing he had to say about them was that their warranty support was at least good. I just keep hearing more bad things than good about them.

5/8/2007 5:30:53 PM

Anyone know the legality of purchasing a pistol in NC if i live in TX but am attending school here? I figure there is no way around it and the only possible way is to get a drivers license here. I am going to get my CHP in TX if that helps in any way.

5/8/2007 7:34:18 PM

I belive you must be a resident

5/8/2007 7:44:27 PM

you must be a resident for.....30 days? I can't remember but somewhere between 30-90 days.

As for Taurus, from what I have *read*, they're quality control is getting better. There for a while it was horrible according to the wonderful, always honest, internet. I did own a PT1911 for all of a week or so. No problems with it through 250-ish rounds. However, I won't buy any other Taurus anytime soon.

As for Davi's, they really do kind of suck. There are some really nice people there that don't mind you wasting their time. I took my roommate to try to find his next gun there (he had very little experience). We told the guy (David I think) that he wasn't buying today but wanted to look at stuff. 2 hours later we walked out after him looking at about 15 different guns. Then we went to Lawmen's to buy the one he liked. I don't really care for PDHSC for purchasing either simply because it's hard to get someone to help you. They seem to have some of the nicest, most helpful people but I rarely get them. I usually get one of the older guys that's too lazy to get out of his chair usually and will barely answer questions. I typically buy from Lawmens or Zebulon Pawn (Jim is a great guy and hooks me up. I pay more but it's one of those "support your local gun shop" things).

As for the gun, what have you looked at? You mention the Glock and Taurus, what else? I'd look at the Glock 19. I won't be much harder to shoot than the 17 but will be a lot more practical for a gun that you may end up carrying. Same goes for a Springfield XD9. Take a look at Sigs also. You can get Sig CPO (certified pre-owned) for about the same price as the Glock and they are, imho, a much nicer gun.

5/8/2007 10:48:09 PM

I've shot two different 40's, the glock and the sig

today i shot a 9mm glock (model 17) and the glock 40 (maybe model 22 or 23?)


Im tryin to limit myself as far as price goes......i know sigs are fantastic firearms and so are h&k....but for the money, i like glocks


im still researching and seeing whats out there though


the taurus was asthetically pleasing and very comfortable to hold....but with quality its hard to go wrong with a glock, sig or beretta.

5/8/2007 11:14:44 PM

The CPO Sigs are MUCH cheaper than your new Sigs. I bought mine w/4 mags for $500. Most places around here run about the same for Glocks. CPOs are used but sent back to Sig where they are refinished if needed and checked out completely. Any parts that are damaged or worn out are replaced etc. etc. etc. Basically it's a new Sig that might have some holster wear and stuff. Mine was an 89 model that had been completely updated, refinished, new springs, and it *appeared* that it was a new barrel as well.

As for the Glocks, it is kinda hard to go wrong with them. My every day carry is now a Glock 26 and I'm planning on adding 3 more (21SF, 30, & 17L or 34 and I might throw a 19 in as well). I'm not a fan of .40, 10mm, or .357 so... (premature arthritis makes them un-fun).

What kind of budget have you put on it? If you can throw a number out, I'm sure we can make some more specific recommendations for you to look at.

5/9/2007 1:42:52 AM

P.S. anybody got a .380? I've got some left over ammo from my Kel-tec that I have no need for. I think it's 25 rounds or so and I *think* it's Federal.....JHP. I can't remember what their PD ammo is. Anyway, I live in Knightdale and work in Apex so if anybody wants it, you can meet me somewhere between.

To make it fair, the first "I'll take it" from someone willing to meet me on my way to and from can have it.

[Edited on May 9, 2007 at 1:46 AM. Reason : forgot...]

5/9/2007 1:45:02 AM

^ I could add some .380 to my ammo can, as long as your roomie doesn't shoot 'em up again.

Is your dislike for .40 solely predicated on recoil pulse? 'cause I have a .40 that I think would work with that very well.

[Edited on May 9, 2007 at 2:56 AM. Reason : to/too/two]

5/9/2007 2:55:53 AM

im trying to limit myself to a max of 500 bucks


In truth, I dont really want a 45 or 40....they just seemed like overkill for recreational use

obviously for home defense they pack a hell of a lot more than a 9mm.....but the 9mm was more fun to shoot


I think i shot the 17 and the 17L at Davis.....one of them had a ported slide....not the actually barrel, but damn when it went off in the dark, it blinded you.


I might go shoot the Taurus 24/7 tomorrow and probably the XD (i've heard good things)

5/9/2007 8:57:03 AM

WTB Snakeslayer 45/410 in good condition. Will pay good $ for a nice piece.

Also WTB cheap pistol, appearance not important, 9mm+, semi or revolver ok. Basically looking for a backup I can leave in my truck and on the jobsite.

PM me with what you got, thanks.

[Edited on May 9, 2007 at 9:31 AM. Reason : .]

5/9/2007 9:30:13 AM

Thunder, you can have them. apparently 14 rounds of Hydrashock. anyway, you'll have pm in a minute with my number. and don't worry, there aren't any .380s around so it won't get shot up.

As to the .40, I don't like the cost or the recoil. I like the balistics but not enough to switch back to it. I'm happy with 9mm and .45 and my shot placement.

Lobes, you shot the 17 and 17C. The "C" models are ported slides. The 17L is an extended slide that's otherwise stock. The 34 is slightly extended (between 17 & 17L) with porting & lighter trigger if I recall correctly.

Are you open to new and used or new only?

5/9/2007 12:48:27 PM

if anyone has free/cheap .45 ammo.

ill take em please

5/9/2007 1:01:48 PM

new and used
totally doesnt matter, im just looking for quality


Yeah i shot both the ported and non-ported versions of the 9mm

5/9/2007 6:41:23 PM

lobes, you have pm.

5/10/2007 12:01:22 AM

aight so today I went and shot a few more to help narrow my decision




it's now between the Taurus 24/7 9mm or .40

and the Glock 17, 9mm


whichever has the best price or deal, i'll buy

5/10/2007 6:49:26 PM

^ go w/ the glock

5/10/2007 6:58:21 PM

i hated the XD by the way

5/10/2007 7:34:29 PM

Taurus will probably be cheaper. It's extremely likely that the Glock will be "better". Glock parts & accessories are cheaper and easier to find. They tend to last longer as well. The Taurus isn't a bad gun, it's just not quite as high quality as a glock, springfield, etc. from what I've seen. Which one did you shoot better?

Also, check prices at cdnninvestments.com (you'll have to download their catalog if it's working correctly again). With the prices on guns around here, you can quite possibly find it cheaper there even after shipping and ffl fee.

5/10/2007 8:30:17 PM

yeah if i find a glock for cheaper, its def what i'll do


i just really like the price of the taurus and the grip




i shot the glock better though.....
