Shot a glock for the first time - Gained some wins and some fails

[Stark]

Went shooting in Riga yesterday - they have this awesome cold war russian atomic bunker back in the days when russia still occupied Latvia.
In Latvia you always need to know somebody to do stuff lucky me i know somebody who is in the police so he hooked me up - usually stag parties go to shoot there and the police train there as well - I got to shoot all kinda guns for all day but the best was the Glock.

Doesnt matter its easy shit to kill some AK swinging wog from bongo bongo land who breaks and enters into your apartment and tries to rape your entire family - Awesome defense weapon and fun to shoot.

Didnt like the AK to shoot tho

Was in Riga for a stag a few years ago Stark, and think I shot in that gun range you're talking about.
spooky shit :-)

City is ok, but you need to watch your back at all times.
Fookers are nuts on robbing over there.

30 of us went out as a group and were given a list of all the things to look out for and avoid ie scams, hookers, spiked drinks, gypsies etc.
We all met up for breakfast after the first night and managed to cross of everything on the list :-)
city of fookin' scumbags!

the hotle we were staying at had a resident lapdancer in the bar, so that was a bonus :-)

I have a glock 19 and absolutely love it. It's a compact but still holds 15 rounds. Fits my hand perfect for what they cost they're the best combat handguns. I have put thousands of rounds through it without any failures. I keep 6 mags louded with saber defense hollow points.

Don't know what part of Riga you went but the city is litteray crime free - seriously I asked some of the guys who I went drinking (mostly Germans who life there for ages) and they say they have zero crime.

I get tingles down south when I handle my glock.

I got mine about a year ago. For the first few months I couldn't put it down. I would constantly rack the slide and practice dry fireing. Now before I got to bed I play with it for a little bit. Helps me sleep good at night. I would open a can of whoopass if someone ever broke into my home.

depending on what state you're in... doing so would either result in you geting indicted, or a handshake and pat on the back.  Crazy variance in self-defense laws.

The more conservative the state the better the guns laws. I live in South Carolina thank god. I couldn't imagine living in communist New York again.

I have a G26 and a G17.    End of the world occurs, if I had to have one gun it would be my G26.  

My glocks have at least 10,000 of jam free, trouble free, rounds through them.  

For $499, they can't be beat.

A glock shotgun and some kind of rifle is a pretty well rounded kit. I need a good rifle I have the other two.

For shotgun - go with Mossberg or Remi 870.   I have 4 shotguns.  A benelli, an 870, a mossberg 500, a Saiga 12.  The Benelli is great, the Saiga is semi but not reliable, and if I had to grab one - it would be the 870 or 500 most likely.     

For a rifle go with an AK or AR.  AR is far more accurate, AK has more punch.  AK will run you around $600 now.   A Good AR about $1,000. 

Depends what you want.   you should also get a .22 10/22 for sure and trick it out.

LOL @ 9 mm ammo.

No - 9mm is one of the most common calibers and more than enough to get the job done.

dont start that lame ass argument. if you think 9mm is no big deal then stand down range and let me pop you (no homo). the one stop shot thing doesnt apply ever, im not shooting one time.

[pluck]

The best gun advice I can think of for rookies is ...if a lot of people are raving and saying good things about a particular platform whether it's a shotgun, rifle or pistol...LISTEN to them.

There's a reason there are so many glock fan boys, remington 870s, and remington 700 rifles...cuz they're reliable as fuck.

I wasted too much money on buying shitty fucking guns because I figure I'd go against the norm.

Not all guns are created equal...not all of them go "boom" each time you pull the trigger and cheaper ammo is not always the best ammo.

You're still new to all this gun stuff.  I have pics of me with an M16 when I was 6 years old.  dad was a FFL.

IMO, once you do this for a few years you'll move up to 40 or 45.

Yep. That's what I did.

Now I've got a Springfield 1911 .45 and a sig p250 .45

How do you get props for handling a gun like "a pro" if you can't even insert a mag correctly?

Shut the fuck up dude. I can see you now ...that "rambo" asshole at the range that shoots once a year and thinks they're on their way to become a navy seal.

Also, I"m willing to bet the guy who gave you the "mad props" didn't know what the fuck he was doing either. You can spot a rookie with a gun from miles away.
