Ask YJ, or wait for him to chime in. From a thread last week it sounded like he (and many others) have some nice steel under the car seat.

Over the years I have carried several different side arms for work. My favorite was my glock 21. I carried that as a service weapon for 5 years until I was required to change to a .40 cal and I switched to the glock 22. The 21 chambers .45cal. It is a little big so if you have small hands it might not work for you. I also carried a Smith & Wesson for a while. It was simmilar to the 5906 that Smith currently makes. The only problem I had with that gun was the back site got caught when I would draw the gun.
I know alot of people will turn thier noses up at the glock but it was by far the best service weapon I have had or tried.

If he's not a shooter, how about a snub .32 cal? Easy to hold, point and shoot, plus not too expensive. Glock is a good, serviceable pistol, IMO.

Depends on what you're going to use it for. Personal Protection, home protection, collection, etc.

A solid gun for a solid price is a .40 cal Glock, sub compact. Lightweight, easy to conceal, easy to fire.

I have many pistols, I have the most fun with my sig 226 or 228. I usually carry a taurus 911 for my concealed

I have a Ruger speed six that is a great revolver. I'm not a fan of .32 or .38. I had to use a Smith .38 special when I first started working in law enforcement and was going through skills classes. I hated that weapon. I was real happy when the department allowed us to go to a semi auto.

Agreed. However, I found when I was teaching the wife how to shoot and until she was proficient enough to handle a .357 revolver (4") the .32 was a good, all around personal protection pistol. Most who have little range time are usually decent with this type of pistol at 10' or less - where it counts if you're trying to protect yourself.

I leave the Dirty Harry stuff to skilled shooters like yourself, and don't like to carry as my own personal preference.

Sig Sauer P228.

I have a glock 36 which is chambered for .45cal. A nice smaller big bore weapon.

Unless Glock has fixed the phase 3 malfunction which only occurs with THEIR weapons, it's a piece of shit.

I dont own guns to take over the world, I dont own guns so if someone calls my girlfriend a ***** I can shoot them, I dont plan to rob anyone nor do I plan to shoot anyone. You break in my house, you steal something of mine thats important to me, Id just as soon shoot your ass as punch you just for being a waste of life.
