The Blue Board

Their symbol is a bull

They've come a long way; newer guns are relatively good. Heard a few people say they prefer their Taurus 1911s to Kimber, which is more than a little shocking. But if you're looking for purchasing advice, there's no substitute for just shooting the gun before you guy it.

Buying online doesn't usually help. They have to ship to somebody with a dealer liscense, then that person normally charges $50-75 to buy it. Prices are negotiable, they are usually small business. My glock was $499 and I got it out the door after tax with a month free range time for $475.

They kill people and should not be in the hands of regular joes?

Stuff it Costas

For a hunting gun, they're pretty good and can be equipped with a nice scope. However, I don't think you'd carry one for personal protection. I have a Glock 26 9mm, but I don't carry.

It's an American company , but it's based in Ohio.

Please forgive our Canadian liberal brother. Where he's from, they use deer antler sheds found on the frozen pond to fend off intruders.

If you want something just for protection it's hard to go against the reliability of a revolver. For that purpose I carry a smith and wesson model 442; .38 +P. It's extremely light, I can conceal it in a pocket, and can shoot a 158 grain +P round. It's also cheaper than a lot of automatics and infinitely easier to maintain.

And what does being a "tough" country gain anyone? Sure as hell doesn't gain individuals anything.

Sorry to be harsh, but all it has gained America is a pile of debt from fighting so many wars, and a couple of planes into the side of the world trade centers.
