Anyone here into firearms?

My buddy was looking for a defense handgun, and called me up to see what I knew about the taurus judge (which is weird, because I don't know anything about guns. But I guess he figured since I own one, I at least know more than he does). Being the friend I am, I did some internet research. Came across this site, it was great:

The Box O' Truth #41 - The Taurus Judge Vs. The Box O' Truth - Page 1

I'm posting that because the judge seems to be a trendy gun for defense (based on what I was reading), and it seems to be a terrible gun for this purpose.

.45 Colt is ok, but forget using a .410.

(Edit)>I just turned the page, it shoots slugs?

Yeah, but if you're buying it just to shoot slugs, there are probably 100 other guns that would be better, right?

That's a 9mm, right?

I almost bought this model HK, the fit and feel was excellent. But my heart was set on the Sig P220, I had to wait 9 years to get it.

I have to say I am the same way...Im a Sig guy, used em over seas, and just really like how comfortable they feel in my hand.. Im a fan of the .357Sig..

however, I was looking at an HK P30L yesterday...

it fit so well..

I've shot that gun before. I liked it.

Love shooting slugs. It's like releasing the hounds of Hell on a target.

I was going to work, and I thought, "I should have told Frost, to talk to you about the slugs"!

I shot an XDM Compact 9mm today and hated it. Not a fan at all. I think that P2000SK tainted things for me for a carry gun. I really liked it!

I don't think I've shared this yet, but here's my current Colt 70 Series Combat Commander 9mm. My dad bought it new from the MCX back in 1980.

This weekend I might pick up a Kahr CW9.

Also eyeing the Ruger LCP / Kel-Tec P3AT for deep concealement.

Take care of that, it will increase in value, in time!
