i've been thinking about handguns and realised i know very little about them. is there any experts in here?
what's the type to have? is there a best manufacturer?
not after anything flash, just something cheap, simple and reliable. doesn't have to be super accurate as i imagine it will only be used at very close range. or perhaps something that looked a bit menacing would reduce the need to actually use it. hmmmm...

Tomm, do you live in suderland? if so you probably better off with an Uzi, Tec-9 or H&K MP5.

A nice sig sauer, browning high poweror a beretta 92f. Or robocops. I need to stop watching to many movies. I have held the others though. Too heavy for a 9/10 year old.

Browning high power, don't know much about hand guns but this is the only automatic i've ever used and it is a piece of piss to use and service. And the design has survived over 60 years.

A Glock 30 is ideal for you needs.

Out of several handguns I have, my favorite is still a Kimber .45 stainless steel model. Easy to take care of/clean and shoots well--and from a personal protection perspective, the noise alone is pretty effective

I got to hold a Dirty Harry S+W .44 Magnum a few years ago, full dirty long barrel and everyfink. Jeeze I could barely hold it up! Proper hefty.
(I'm not a gun nut or owt, I just like the films)

Do you live in a war-torn country? Or Hackney or somewhere?

Do you live in a war-torn country
Not exactly--mostly carry it hiking in the mountains for the chance encounter with a thoroughly irritated bear---can get a lot of rounds off fast and the .45 has whole lot of stopping power.Posted 6 months ago # -
I have a Browning Automatic badminton racket you could borrow.

Oh right!
Yeah, I'd probbly want something if there were big bears about and that.

Sig p226 with extended mag.
The weapon of choice for the chappies who like to hide their eyes in photos.If you have a long midle finger, you'll be able to fire the action off on a browning hi power without having to insert the mag (which often results in RMPs having neglible discharges! muppets)

Good for angry people and those not subject to many gun laws.

My brother in law in Alaska carries a .50 when working at remote field locations---he says if it doesn't stop a barren ground grizzly or brownie, he can always shoot himself

S&W .357 Magnum with speedloaders, good handling, ample stopping power and accuracy with no jamming problems
Forget all that gangsta nonsense waving a semi automatic about at strange angles, you want reliability with the added bonus of no spent cases laying about

Yeah, that movie stuff of holding the gun sideways is pretty absurd. Nothing like a two-hand hold to really hit what you are shooting at.
I tried doing some of the movie stuff at a target range and it doesn't do much for accuracyPosted 6 months ago # -

Did Browning not make some bizarre electric front shifter with split chainrings a long time ago or am I hallucinating again? (possibly a different Browning of course...
EDIT- strangely not - " In 1977, Browning Arms closed their bicycle business")
