Glock 27 - 40 caliber baby glock that fits anywhere.

Glock 26 - 9mm baby glock that fits anywhere.

Keltec p-32 for your pocket gun.

AR-15 for when hurricane shuts down power and looters decide to test Darwinism.

Mossberg pistol grip pump for when you want to blow up fruit at the gun range for shits n giggles.

translation=you're 128 pounds soaking wet and couldn't outfight a woman so you need a gun to be intimidating.

It's not amazing... a walther PPK might be a tad preferable.
Its not the most fun thing to shoot, but for a pocket rocket when you can't carry a glock comfortably, it gets the job done.
I forgot about the Walther PPk, james bond's old gun.  Very cool weapon.  Turns your thumb into grated cheese when you put 400 rounds thru it in an afternoon, but has a safety and is built very well.

Hey, bad guys don't always fight fair.  You never know when two piece of shit 14-year olds with switchblades, bats, or a gun will decide to end you.  In a perfect world, none of us would need them.  In this world, they do save peoples' asses now and then.

even if that was the case the gun tilts the odds in his favor

Thats what the Koreans were using during the L.A. riots needless to say their shops didn't get looted.

Not when it comes to pistols , H&K make the finest sub-machine guns and rifles but their pistols aren't any better than  Glock

Maybe true.  The MP5 is an amazing weapon.

yes, burglaries and muggings only happen to "big guys". You probably don't have to worry about them though, as not much value can come from a trailer.

absolutely among the finest sub-machine gun ever devised.

sorry man just being honest, why do you need a gun, can't you fight?

You can't be expected to be taken seriously in this argument, can you? Seriously, everyone else in here is providing logical and rational answers, not you. Since apparently you are not capable of rational thought, post elsewhere.

[marcus]

Find one that best fits your budget and hand. Rent before buying if possible. If you want the best for busting skulls you need a Smith and Wesson 500.

you're talking about buying a handgun to "protect yourself" from "muggers" and i'm the one who can't be taken seriously? where do you live Beirut in 1982? sounds like you've seen Death Wish a few too many times.
