I have a Kimber Custom II full size .45 1911

Things shoots sooooo nice. Pricey, but worth the money.

I own two this sig


and a Walther P99 in .40 Cal. Love them both, depends on what you want it for. For home protection, get a Remy 870 shotgun! Nothing works better for the home! If you want something to shoot for fun get a SIG! Love them!

Check out www.Calguns.net good people who know tons about guns!

Oh and Kimber is the shit though! Great Weapon for the money, you get what you pay for that's for sure! Kimber Ultra Carry II is next for me!

Hope there aren't too many "gun snobs" on here, but I went with a Hi-Point C9 compact as a "go to the range" gun. Out of the 10,000+ rounds I've put through it, I've NEVER had any jams or problems what so ever. Only issue I see with it is it only holds 8+1 or 10+1 rounds, but that's not really a problem if you are any good at shooting and know where to hit the target.

Point being, $180 for the pistol, no questions asked lifetime warranty no matter if you're the first, second twentieth owner, and it holds it's own with any of the afore-mentioned pistols above.

Yup, gun snob here but I dont care what other people shoot lol. I just like the feel of the 1911 Kimber's, especially with a 3 1/2lb trigger pull.

That or a glock 22....talk about a reliable gun.

Crap pictures, but I own this Sig P229 .40 cal



I also own this Walther PPK/S .380



For home defense I also have a Remington 870!

Yesterday, I got to choose between a Sig P226 9mm, P226 .40 cal, and P239 9mm. I chose the P239 because the smaller frame fits in my hand better, but now I am thinking I want to change to a P226 9mm.

I just picked up this bad-boy Monday.



I do have a couple of other non-pimptastic guns too. What's your price range? For sub-$200 you can't beat the Hi-point C9. They're pretty reliable and have a lifetime warranty, no questions asked. If you've got $600, I'd suggest the Sig 226. There isn't a nicer handgun for the money. If you have $1000+ definately get a Kimber 1911. They are SWEEET!!!

Love my para .45 but my XD's are the gun I recommend to everyone. For the money its the most reliable best performing gun I have ever shot. I have over 30k rounds through my xd service model in .40 and still have yet to have a failure.
