The reason for getting one is just to learn to shoot, and I'll most likely be doing lots of target practice.
I've also been looking at M&P and glock.
My goal is something inexpensive that will be good to learn with. This isn;t something I plan on doing soon, I just want opinions so I can think about it some more. The goal is to purchase in the next 6-8 months. |
I don't know if anyone commented in getting a .50AE in CA, but my friend used to work at DOJ, here, and it's not "banned". What happened, was it was never submitted by DE for validation, as-it-were. You can get a .44, and only need a .50 barrel and magazine and just swap the two when you're inclined.
I'm planning on doing just that. I plan on using the .44 just for home defense and .50 for flame throwing when I go shoot. They way I figure it - a criminal is likely to recognize that particular handgun pretty quickly, and it might even discourage them from continuing their course of action. If it's necessary to discharge the firearm, I think the .44 is more than enough, and even overkill. Shock and awe is my goal.
I've always wanted this gun since I first saw it in a magazine. No - it's not too practical, but it's being improved and the current Mark XIX is the best to date. I plan on loading my own rounds for the AE and the .44. Maybe I'll step up to their muzzle break, too eventually. $2K for what I'm thinking I'm wanting is a big chunk, though. I'm considering a S&W .500 mag, too. Those are legal, and several hundred bucks left.
Bigger is better, lol.
