LittleLebowskiUrbanA's Journal: Update

Back on /. after a long absence. This is one of the few sites not blocked by my work's ornerous web filtering.

    In case anyone's curious, I'm an gun toting, pro choice, Barry Goldwater-conservative atheist. Anyone want to talk guns? Right now I'm eying a Steyr AUG replica made in the US. I just wish I could find an AUG that takes AR mags.

I have a Kimber Pro Carry. Excellent, accurate weapon. I alternate between carrying that and a Glock 19. The Glock takes so much more practice to be as accurate with as the Kimber. The 1911 design is so ergonomic and easy to shoot.

    My next 1911 may be a 9mm. With ammo prices skyrocketing, I'm recommending 9mm to everyone.

    Glad to be back!

9mm is fine, google Dr Fackler and ballistics. In fact, there's not much difference between 9mm, .40, and .45 so long as you're using quality defensive ammo.

Picking up a Glock 34 this weekend and ordered a .308 AR10 to be customized for 1000 yard shooting at my brother's long range shooting school [longrangei...tional.com]:) Life is good.

I would strongly recommend a Glock or S&W M&P and shooting all of them first before buying.

The 1911 is very forgiving and easy to shoot well but the Glock/M&P teach better habits, have higher capacity, and are much, much easier to maintain. This is coming from a guy who loves 1911s but carries a Glock 19 concealed. Buy a 9mm; ammo is half the cost of .45 and remember, the pistol's cost is only the initial cost of what is a lot of spending. You NEED to shoot a lot to get good.
