In my country I cannot own one. Only cops and criminals can carry a gun

If I could it would be the Wiley from Death Wish three

When I carry, I use my Glock 26 (compact 9mm). For tactical shooting I use a Glock 19. But I also enjoy my Ruger MK III and Taurus .357.

Oh, what my neighbors don't know about me.....

Of all the pistols I have owned the Glocks are my favorite and their survival knife is a great bang for the buck.

They really are a great tool...

Merry Christmas to ME! Snagged this one the day before Christmas as a backup to my other G19. It's nice to have something that takes the same ammunition, same holsters, same magazines, carries the same, and shoots to same POI as one's main gun in the event it gets seized as evidence in a defensive shooting. Though I prefer 1911's and snubbies, the compact and sub-compact Glocks are no-brainers when it comes to comfortable, discrete formidable carry.

Heard so many good things about the XD. Like the way it shoots? Never shot one.

Sorry, I missed this. I very much like my XD. It's a fun shooter, to be sure. I think it's a great combination of Sig, 1911 and Glock. (I just can't come to terms with the Glock's grip angle. Just can't do it.)

You all guys are so lucky!(?)
Here in India, its not easy to get a gun license...Only cops, goons, politicians and rich businessmen can have it.
I am thinking of getting a Air Gun since long time, it does not require license here yet.

Sounds very similar to Chicago, Illinois.

Nope. In most cases, States and municipalities are free to implement laws which are more restrictive than Federal law. They may not implement less restrictive laws. However, that doesn't stop States from being surreptitious in culling the 2nd Amendment. You can Google or Wikipedia for the McDonald v. Chicago decision as an example.

Every time I visit a friend of mine and shoot his Black Powder Rifle I am grateful for the advancements in ammo and guns but it is fun to shoot once a year and made me have more respect for our forefathers.

I'm not old enough to get my CPL, but I'm thinking of buying a Beretta PX4 Storm... It's a sweet piece.

My Springfield Armory Custom Shop 1911 set me back more than I care to admit. It was worth every single penny. There is no pistol that I trust to be more consistent or accurate than my Springer. I have shot it in competitions for years, and while it's no "race gun" I will hold my own against anyone shooting in the standard division.

I hear ya. Glock's are great guns, but they simply don't fit my hand well. Never have been able to adjust to the grip. My father gave me several Glocks shortly before passing away from cancer. I tried everything within me to like those guns. Never have been able to.

Gonna have to try the XD sometime!
