Well, it's decided. I went with the S&W 642 model that I linked to in my first post (.38 cal). I went into the local shop and the guy had it there. At first I was going to have him order the 640 (.357 model), but he sold me on this model. He says all the cops in town are carrying this in their boot. He just happened to carry this modelpersonally(had it inhis pants in fact). I take my course this Saturday and after my backgroung check I'll be Vigilante Joe...move over Charles Broson, there's a new kid in town . Please continue the conversation, though.

 

Congrats on the 642!
Good luck with the course, keep us posted and stay safe.

Hard to go wrong there. Fine pistol. Now go get tons of ammo and practice!!!! (If this is your first pistol watch out, they multiply) Congrats on one fine heater!

 

^ hey shocktroop so is the info from the link i provided wrong ? if so please show a link that contradicts my post. im from cali so i dont know texas laws but when searching that is what came up.

 

I cant believe no one said the springfield xd. I have the 9. It has won numerous gun of the year awards and replaces the navy seals sig. It also passes military melt down sand and water specs. I dont personally like glocks like everyone on here says. Only because they are so popular because cops wanted to chang and glock said if they changed they would come out with a gun undetacable by metal dectors. Convinced alot of forces to go back to glock.

 

Yeah.... pretty sure thats a myth. ATF would shut them down for good.

Not saying you are wrong, but the brady bunch will spin a rule in thier favor to get thier point across. It would be like looking up motorcycle safety statistics from some 2 wheel hating anti rider group and posting up. For laws, packing.org is a great easy to use site, as for the brady campaign, I guess thier Ok if you don't mind people who want to limmit, better yet takeyour rights as a law-abiding citizen. Sorry for the rant, Havoc, you were not incorrect, just didn't portray the full scoop. Didn't mean to come across that way.

 

ahh no problem just i dont want to post inacurate info.
