So to continue my current trend of becoming a militant gun toting whack job, I picked up a concealed carry pistol. I plan on getting my license here in a few weeks, and I didn't own a single compact pistol after selling my xD.
So I bought one of these-
 Glock G36 Slim. It's a .45, but thanks to a single stacked 6 round mag it has an amazingly thin profile. If any of you guys are looking into a CCW, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I love it. My only problem is, I can't hit the broad side of a barn with it just yet, so I'm going to tinker around with the trigger and add a laser.
Strangley enough I could damn near drive tacks with my Glock 22, but the shorter barrel and stiffer trigger throw me off. Still, thanks to the size, I think it has a ton of potential.

I was listening to talk radio on my way back from the paintball store today and couldn't believe they actually have a show entirely devoted to guns. It astounded my that for at least an hour, I listened to some cc whackjob complain that Patricks AFB was so out of line for not allowing handguns on the base.
Besides that, nice gun.. I guess since I have no idea. It's very small and makes your penis look much larger I think.

| Why did you sell your XD? |

| I didn't actually sell the XD, if I remember correctly I traded it straight across for my USP. One of those deals I couldn't pass up. |

| Haha, you lost me there sir. My G36 is a fourth gen I think, i got a steal for 550 out the door. My 22 .40 was 385, also a steal. Both brand new. |

| I'm actually in a financial situation to finally pick up a pistol soon. Now I just have to decide which one. |

For the price, you can't do wrong with a Glock or XD. They're basically dominating the pistol market right now, and as such, like AR-15's, you can buy them sometimes well below cost at a gun show.
Oddly enough they hold pretty nice trade in value if you trade them in a small town shop where they're still selling for 600+. I actually profited quite nicely on my last Glock compact trade. Same with my XD. |

Unless you start wearing it in a holster at town hall meetings while holding signs about watering the liberty tree, you're in the clear. Folks have set the whack-job bar pretty high as of late. Which, as someone who likes guns, I'm fine with. I've felt compelled recently to buy an Anaconda. Which makes no sense. I don't need one. I've already got a Colt Trooper. I need to quell my desire for over-powered revolvers. Which means I'll probably end up buying more camera gear.

Well, the first question is what kind of experience do you have with handguns? |

i've shot my brother's glock 17, remington 45, and 357 magnum at a range once. I'm not just gonna go out to a gander mountain and pick one out that looks cool, I need to find a non-sketchy gun shop/range near milwaukee and learn everything I need to know before i make a purchase.

For conceal-ability and price you cant go wrong with a CZ-82.
Not the most powerful shooting the 9x18mm but with a double stack 12 round mag it gets the job done. you can pick up a Czech police trade in for around $225
I'm not much of a glock fan, the trigger saftey thing wigs me out, and i cant shoot them for crap. (with practice i could) I dont like the feel of the grips either.

| He lives in Wisonscin. Don't think CCW is an option. |

| Yeah, ccw is not a priority. Basically just looking to start a new hobby. |
