I don't think its a rare ammo or handgun. When my Dad had one he loved it as it shot great.

Well, the more time you spend practicing, the better you will be with it when it counts.

I have heard that .40cal/10mm has a kick to it that .45s don't. But one of my coworkers said that he had a 10mm for a long time, and it was one of his all-time favorite guns to shoot, and use as an everyday carry.

Well, Khajiit didn’t say he would never practice with it

This one is surprised to hear that a smaller cartridge would have more kick. Then again, the frame of a .45 is probably usually heavier to make the kick not so bad?

As I understand it, even though it is smaller in size, the 10mm has a more powerful cartridge than the .45. So I think more power + smaller barrel for the gas to escape from = more recoil.

.40 isn't hard to find, nor is it more expensive.

In CA, when the ammo shortage hit I could find .40 but not 9mm or .45. It seems to be less popular. I liked it.

I cried when I sold my .40 to move to Sweden.

How does it perform? Is it hard to control?

It's really "snappy", to put it in terms. I had no trouble shooting it, but it does have a lot of recoil.

I can only compare it to .22 and 9mm though because I've never shot .45.

Now a proper 10mm(there's a difference between .40 and 10mm but I don't know what it is offhand) put hairline fractures in the wrist of a friend's uncle. Lol.

Yeah, definitely want to avoid any damage to Khajiit’s person, lol

Yes, no damaging khajiit.

Welp, if everything works out tomorrow, this one is going to go see what he can put this pawn shop gift certificate towards. Khajiit would really like an SKS, but is open to getting a handgun. Leaning heavily towards 9mm now since 9mm seems to be widely recommended for first time handgun buyers (which Khajiit is). Will definitely be getting a box of hollow points if this one decides to go that route.

Sounds like a fabulous idea, Khajiit.

I always wanted an SKS but I spent a lot of time in CA and they're illegal in that state.

Khajiit cannot find an SKS anywhere in his home town, yet this one has heard that they are a fairly common rifle in other places. The pawnshop we may be going to (Khajiit still had not gone to bed yet as he worked vampire hours overnight) is not in Khajiit’s home town, so, fingers crossed they have one. If not this one will just go with a handgun.

I know Big Boys Guns and Ammo in my State sells SKS's like candy. There's a whole rack that's nothing but SKS's.
Maybe the pawn shop you go to can order one?

Should have done the ole hidden-in-xbox thing

Yeah that’s a good point. I’m sure they probably good.

*update*
Welp, Khajiit got home from work around 7:30am KLT and went straight to bed. The next thing he knows, it’s 3pm KLT and he has a raging headache. The pawn shop is an hour away and closes at 5pm KLT, so guess that trip is out for now. Bummer.

Anybody here have any xp with a Glock 19?

I owned a Glock 19 in my Security days. Mine had the Glow aiming dots on it and it shot pretty darn good.

Yeah I would definitely want the night sights.

Just remember long guns can even be bought from places like gunbroker.com, but they MUST be sent to a FFL in your home state. You'll probably have to pay a fee for them to transfer it. My local FFLs charged, since they weren't getting a cut from the sale. If you find a gun shop in another part of the state that'll sell to you and transfer, that's also an option.

Handguns cannot be purchased from out of state, iirc. Don't quote me on that though.

Ooh good idea, Khajiit may have to look into this.
