I know alot of people love the 40s&w but I don't and not because it is a bad caliber but I like the availablity of 9mm & 45acp. I know the 40 is available but the shear volume of 9mm and 45acp is staggering especially in a shtf situation. Just my opinion.

Well Dang, that link didn't work either, what's going on here?

Just do a search for RWS Air Rifles.

I have a efk extended length bbl for my sig 220sport conversion and it is top qualiy and accurate.

I'm a big fan of the FN line of firearms. I've had good luck with the 2 I own. I plan to pick up a FNX9 at some point but haven't been in any rush.

If you don't have a preference and the glock doesnt feel bad in your hand then it's hard to beat the rep. there's also a huge following for the SA XD line. I think I would go XD before Glock but that's because I don't like the Glock feel. I will say that if you don't like the Glock resoundingly should ask the salesperson if you can try it with on of the slip on grips. I think I would have bought the Glock if I had known more about that option.

A serious air rifle to practice shooting. I'd prefer a pistol that looks real.

Thanks!

Caz, I agree with you about the 9 and 45 availability. BUT if you have some cop friends... couldn't hurt to have that 40 cal option open to ya for a quickie conversion.

Here is a link to a decent site with great prices and they have the XDs on sale, nice prices.

I have 22, 32, 380, 9mm, 38/357, 40, and 45.

In rifle rounds I have 22, 223 and 308.

Shotguns I have .410, 20, 16 and 12 gauge.

ammo wise, I can use about any thing I can pick up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That is true, I could always add a sig 229 to my other sigs and it is both plus 357sig.

good points... and I don't reload or have the means to make it happen but I do like the idea that 9mm, .38, .357 all can go down the same pipe.

my reason for going with 9mm over .40 is that I owned a .40 handgun and just never saw anythin to suggest I was getting my money's worth from the round. pretty sure all those holes and bottles and dirt mounds would still die if I had saved myself $5 at the counter. I have seen the stopping power arguements but they usually turn into "what if" cluster bombs. I'm not LE and I have yet to hear about crooks wearing body armor so I think I'm fine with 9mm or even .38 when I'm out and .45 at home... 5.7x28 for zombies though...

The xdm i like but the standard xd doesn't fit me right, if i do get a 9mm i like the hk p30l just not the 9oo $ price tag. i just want the 9mm for cheaper shooting so i am waiting on a no brainer deal to get one.
