I got a Star-B. It's not a bad gun. But when you can get a RIA 9mm for $350, don't hesitate. These old-clunkers (Star) get expensive real quick. Then you go thru 500 rounds before you can trust them. Get a new RIA

If a cop shows up, then keep the interior light on, and your hands on the wheel.

223 is a cheap ammo if you shoot a lot

Get the Browning - my Ruger was total junk

Buy new. When you buy used there are warranty problems, costly small parts, spare mags, etc etc. Heavy forbid you need a gunsmith --$$$

I shoot a 763 refurbished broomhandle - It works like a sewing machine when I use Finochhi ammo. It's uncannily accurate. There is no recoil. Buy one.

Go to Gun Broker or Rock Island auctions and see the price. But, I have never seen any of these mausers bring big bucks. I got a beautiful broomhandle, worth maybe $2,000. If I took it to a dealer, maybe they would give me $750. Buy a box of 32s and shoot it. It's a fun gun

Getting the gun out fast, without shooting yourself, and with no jams is 90% of the battle. It's just a matter of going to the range and practice practice practice. I carry a 32 seecamp, and a Sig 232. Both are DA/SA with no safetys, and my target is 7 feet away. I am a great believer in...

Used guns get expensive fast - cheaper to buy new with warranty

For a stock gun the 1911 is pretty hard to beat

Hey Buddy - While your Browning HP is passed down to your grand kid, and everyone will gather around at the shooting range in awe. My Glock will be recycled into milk bottles 12 times over. My grand kids will look in the recycle bin, and point out Evian Water bottles and say "There's my...

Gun makers have been relying on Cad Cam and CNCs. In the old German days, all guns were handmade, and every pistol checked and every part numbered. Building a gun isn't easy so that's why most everything is based off old designs (1911, Browning HP, & Walther PPK). As far as the 'Micro Nines'...

A Walther PPK is a 'Sweet gun' - I carry a sig 232 (similar to your ppk) - I will go for reliability over caliber any day of the week. And all these 'Wonder micro-nines' want big break-in periods, with expensive ammo.

Recoil is a function of gun weight, bullet load, weight of bullet - a hot load in a light gun can hurt.

The esthetics, the point and shoot, the feel, reliability, etc are for gun people. Glocks maybe better for 'police types', but plastic and striker fired, don't ring my bell

The Ruger 22/45 likes high velocity CCIs - solid points

Most self defense shootouts will happen close. As far a 22, maybe if I was going 'Toe to toe' with a 12 pound toothless cat, then I would choose a 22. The simple fact is that the 22 has a 15% dud rate, and recycle the slide badly. I paid $350 for a Ruger pistol (Mark 3 - 22/45) and it's a POS...

I got bit and talked at lenght to an animal control officer - she recommended * A large stick * Pepper spray
