I've had some experience with firearms. I'm looking to purchase my first handgun. Came across tha FNS-9 and liked the ambidextrous ability it has. I'm left handed and my wife right. This was a big plus for me. Any opinions on this weapon. Also does anyone have any favorite of ammo and grain for there guns? Thanks
Grain? I kinda prefer wheat, over oats and rye. Barley makes the best soup...and whiskey.Quote:

Do you want to know about bullet weight? Or about powder-charge weight? Or really about wheat versus oats or rye?
Please be somewhat more specific.
Ok Steve, now the important question... Beans or no beams in Chili?
While barley is good in soup, a good corn chowder is very hard to beat.
Guns, ammo and malted barley. It's got my attention! Could we include some tobacco? :smt038
...And explosives?
BATFE, here we come!
To the absolute and utter amazement of the regulars here, I am going to forgo my usual piling on with additional "snark".Quote:

The last of my supply of Remington Golden Saber JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point) 124 grain +P (higher pressure, higher velocity).
I plan on trying Hornady Critical Defense next. I won't be using any more +P in the 15 oz (unloaded) SIG. Kinda hot for an old guy.
OK, you guys just KNEW I just HAD to sneak in SOME snark. :smt1099
There's no "there" there, because it's "their" there. :mrgreen:Quote:

I lean toward 147gr Gold Dots & HSTs in my Glock, Sig and CZ.
There, there, Dan. There, there.Quote:

Because a question that's a comprehensible, complete thought will get better information and the most useful answers.
Common Steve, cut it out !Quote:

At least Jean is nice enough not to laugh too loudly, as we slip into bed.
I can just smell the senility setting in. :rolleyes:
If you are considering a quality weapon that fits you and suits your intended use, why would you need "options"? Re. ammo, most any factory defense load will work just fine. Personally I prefer Winchester Silver Tip.
That's not senility, that's incontinence........Quote:
