My gun buying binge of ones that have high capacity magazines and might be banned continues!

In January I bought my DPMS Panther Oracle AR 15 along with my wife a Mossberg Tactical AR style .22 rifle.

In February I broke the plan of only buying high capacity guns this year and bought my wife a pink Ruger LCP .380 for conceal carry. I bought her a cool carry purse to go with it.

In February I also put on layaway a Taurus 840 semi automatic 40 S&W pistol that uses 15 + 1 magazines.

My dream pistol has been the Springfield XDM compact 9mm that makes the gun convertible from a compact easier to conceal carry to a high capacity gun. The "regular" mag is 13 rounds and the gun has a 3.8" barrel. The second mag that comes with the gun is a 19 round mag with an extension of the grip on the bottom so that when it is in the pistol is simply extends the grip to the same as the regular XDm pistol.

The problem has been that virtually nobody either online or in the four states I have checked actually has this gun in stock. I have signed up at a bazillion places online to be notified if it comes in stock. The second stumbling block is the price. Where my Taurus on layaway was a great deal at $359 the Springfield XDm goes for $649 most places right now with the best price being $599.

Imagine my surprise when I checked out www.slickguns.com just now (the sight that posts gun deals) and saw that a major online store had it in stock and for $529 with free shipping!!!!! I almost couldn't type I was rushing so fast to try and get one in the shopping cart before they were sold out! Got in in then the site crashed. Kept trying for a panicky five or ten minutes and finally it came up and my gun was still in the cart and it allowed me to check out. Whew!!!!

Now I am truly broke and done with gun buying for the year (other than getting my layaway out in May). Now 2014? That will be the year of the rifle and shotgun! Hope to buy a Weatherby Vanguard 2 .308 with Stainless Steel barrel and synthetic stock along with a 12 ga. tactical shotgun of some kind (want the stock and pistol grip at a reasonable price).

My everyday carry: Ruger LC9. Small 9mm with a 7 round mag (boooo), but it is easy to conceal

My bedside gun: Ruger P95, also in 9mm but much larger and holds a standard 15 round mag with one in the chamber (which there is!). I also have a couple of large 32 round mags for it as well.

My "defend the house at all cost" rifle: The Bushmaster AR-15. Have about 9 mags and just under a thousand of rounds. :)

My "the SHTF and I'm gonna have to use this gun for defense and hunting for the rest of my life" gun: My Ruger 10/22 with a standard 5x scope along with a Gen 1 night vision. This and my wife's duplicate gun along with thousands and thousands of 22 rounds make this my long term survival solution. That and it is just fun to shoot!

The "we're experiencing a home invasion and have been caught flatfooted!" gun: A few here. A Ruger Mk III 22 and a Glock 19 9mm, both loaded and hidden in different places.

I have a few more I haven't mentioned and my wife has HER whole arsenal as well (although I already mentioned her Ruger 10/22.)

Now that is funny!


For hunting, I have a mossberg 500, Winchester 30-30, Remington 30-06, Marlin .22.
My defense and shooting range toys are Colt 6940, S & W mp15-22, conceal carry xdm 9.
I have about 85 30 round ar mags, so I'm where I want to be, and about 1000 .223 rounds.

On my list "to get" basically in order are:
Ar furniture for my Colt.
.380 for a smaller conceal
1911 .45 mattress gun
Stoeger 12 gauge with Max 4 Camo for duck hunting next year.
Tons of .22 rounds that I desperately lack, that Randy's hogging them all.
1000 more rounds if .223
2 more ar's when used ones sell cheap in about 6-9 months.
Night vision like our good buddy Randy already has!

Don't get me wrong tho - I wholeheartedly support YOUR right to own a gun! (or more than one if you want to, altho I'm not sure why you would want to).

The one thing I don't get tho is why people would want to own things like assault weapons? My dad and brothers are/were hunters. So I get owning all the hunting guns. Totally get that! But the other kind? I'm sorry. I just don't get that. I'm not saying we should take your rights away. I just say I don't understand why you want them?

For me, they are fun to shoot, and they look cool. They fire 1 time for every time u pull the trigger, just like my 30-06 that I deer hunt with, just like the marlin .22 that I squirrel hunt with. No different, they just look different.
The option of different magazines that can hold more rounds than most hunting rifles come with ar's. I enjoy that on the grounds of self defense if my family was ever in harms way, be it invasion of war, attacked at home, or whatever, and also when at the shooting range I don't have to reload as often. Family protection is my "1 priority, and a gun that can't defend my family from a distance,(like my deer rifle) while not getting shot because of having to reload more often, is a better defense gun IMO. If my deer rifle held more ammo than my ar, I'd prefer it for emergency defense, and maybe even hobby shooting too.


Margie, not sure if you knew..., and many people I have talked to, are confused of the fact that the tactical AR-15 rifle is not a "machine gun" like the m-16 that the army uses, even tho they often look identical. They(army) pull the trigger and hold it back, while bullets keep coming out. While an AR-15 is like a semi auto deer rifle, shotgun, or .22 rifle, in that you pull the trigger, and you get one bullet, that's it.

My wife's Ruger LCP is the .380 version of your LC9 9mm. Also 7 rounds. Hers is pink though and I bet yours is not. I bought her that Lasermax laser that fits over the trigger guard. Pretty cool

What XDm 9 do you have? Regular or compact and if not compact how long is your barrel? Mine is the compact with the 3.8" barrel. comes with one 13 round mag and one 19 round one t hat has a grip extension on it.

(BTW I like those Mossberg 500 series shotguns. How do you like yours?)

Compact 3.8
I never carry the 19 round mag cause its harder to conceal.

I've had my Mossberg for quite a few years. I like it but I'm ever so anxious to get the Stoeger as it is semi auto and has Beneli internals without the high price, and doesnt jam. I need that semi auto to unload in ducks faster. Max 4 Camo is perfect for duckhunting too, not so good for woods camo turkey hunting, so I'll still use my Mossberg for the turkeys.

Totally pumped today! My new Springfield Armory XDm compact 9mm has shipped! Got the Fed Ex tracking number today. Should be at my FFL and ready to pick up by the end of the week I would think.

Now if I only had some ammo for it! That will be my mission tomorrow. Have to take pizza to the new church tonight at 7 pm so can't be in line at Wal Mart to see if any 9mm ammo comes in. Sunday night I snagged two 50 round boxes of 40 S&W for the Taurus 840 I have on layaway. Anxious to get it out in May.

Don't have a gun but want one. Please recommend a handgun caliber that has best chance of its ammo not going too scarce or too expensive (That is, if it's really the issue I read about.) Just for home protection. Thanks.

My wife has a pink Ruger .380 she really likes. Very small and perfect for concealed carry.

I bought her a conceal carry purse to go with her little pink gun!

We just spent the afternoon at the colorful town of Tombstone today. I carried both my Ruger LC9 AND Ruger P95 on me. The only time I removed them was when I had to check them at the front desk of the Bird Cage theater before taking the tour.

My first 6 years as a Oneness P was in a PAW church. It was common knowledge that my pastor and a few other pastors in district were carrying, especially in the pulpit--reportedly in their briefcases. Can't count the number of messages I heard about walking by faith and how to trust God for everything at all times. I guess that means all times except when other people don't have faith and might want to harm you. Interesting theology, there.

The one thing I don't get tho is why people would want to own things like assault weapons? My dad and brothers are/were hunters. So I get owning all the hunting guns. Totally get that! But the other kind? I'm sorry. I just don't get that. I'm not saying we should take your rights away. I just say I don't understand why you want them?

I don't own any guns. At some point I will just don't know when. It will probably be a few years down the road.

As far as owning some of the weapons the media has hyped "assault rifles" yes I want to own some of those as well. First the media "hype" over so-called "assault weapons" is ignorant. They are not assault weapons. This is hyped up to try to obfuscate the issue and attempt to get "ignorant" people to agree (I use "ignorant" in its true definition - some people just don't understand the term). An assault weapon is a fully automatic weapon which are not currently legal to own. So the media is just full of false information in attempts to obfuscate the issues and pass an agenda that will ultimately disarm law abiding citizens furthering the dependency upon government alone. A point here concerning government dependency: Once everyone is dependent upon the government for health issues, food and safety then the government will be in a position to make more and more demands upon the citizens that are dependent upon that structure. This leads to tyranny, it is just a matter of time. Whether it be one generation, two generations or more tyranny will be the result.

Now to the so-called "assault weapons". It is not a matter of "need". It is matter of me being a law abiding citizen and having the right. No one, and I know you have stated you are not trying to take away that right, has the right to tell me what my "needs" are. Not Senator Finestein or President Obama. They are liars when they say they support the second amendment then turn around and try to gut it. Again it is not about my "needs' but my rights as a law abiding citizen.

Secondly, I enjoy firing them. They are fun to shoot.

Thirdly, When at a range there is limited time to fire. When the "all clear" is given you are not allowed to touch a bullet much less a weapon - for obvious safety reasons. People go down range during this time to setup targets and view how they have shot. The only time you can load is during the live fire time. Therefore, having a magazine that holds more rounds allows a person more time to practice firing.

Fourth, they are very could defense weapons. it has been stated before and I will state it again, that during the LA riots they were used by business owners to defend their property. Also, there are many "flash mobs" taking place across the country. You can google it and read about yourself. These would be excellent self defense weapons to defend your personal freedom and safety in one of those events.

Fifth, there are also home invasions that are taking place across the country. Again these type weapons are excellent choices. They are easy to handle and have capacity to eliminate the threat(s).

Sixth, they are generally lighter weight because they use a composite material making them easy for anyone to handle. Women and the elderly can easily fire them. They are accurate and have a limited recoil making them enjoyable to shoot as well as the above mentioned points.

Seventh, Due to their light weight they are easy to use in a hand to hand situation where they can be used as a type of staff. A quick butt stroke to the chin usually takes the fight out of people. Thus they can also be used to capture criminals while maintaining the ability to counter any assault from multiple attackers.


For me the so-called "assault weapons" (again they are not assault weapons) are a good home defense weapon that is easy to use in multiple capacities and have the ability to counter any assault from multiple attackers. Also, a woman or an elderly person can easily use them to defend themselves. Yes, I know of at least one incident recently where a 12 year old (if I remember correctly) used one to defend himself and little brother form a robber(s).

The scripture does state that the righteous shall live by faith. It first states this in Habakkuk, during the time when God's people routinely defended themselves and anyone who killed, whether accidentally or on purpose, had to go to a city of refuge to await judgment, or the avenger of blood could kill him. I am not sure why people think Christians are supposed to be easy targets for typical violence. Just like I work a job in order to earn a living rather than trusting in God to supply groceries and bills miraculously, I also prepare to defend myself should I have to. I love the fallacious arguments and absurdities people spout to try to make it seem that true Christians are somehow transcendant.

So you dont have the faith that God can supply your needs according to His riches in glory? Have you ever thought of it as God's abundant grace in you getting a job? And He might have placed you there for a certain purpose? i dont know about you but i would rather walk by "faith" and not by "sight". just the faith the lord has His angels watching over me, He abides in me and won't let any temptations/tests beyond my means come my way.

Pliny...I hope when you go to buy a gun you still can, there are many who want to stop people from owning guns, and they won't give up...I liken it to the cigarette smoking...first the section off restaurant, and so and so on...I am not saying I like cigarettes, or smoking for that matter(I am an x smoker and I hate the smell and everything about them), but they are legal and restaurants should have the option to have it or not, freedom! They are so taxed I don't know how anyone can afford them anymore.


Guns...I have a Lady Smith, hammerless 5 rounds with laser grips. That is my everyday carry. I used to carry a S&W 357 but its so heavy! I have carried for over 10 years and even to church. I think that the way they will limit gun ownership is with high insurance demands of coverage. I always buy American guns with I can...as to faith I have deep faith...and I will say please Lord let my shots true and let me hit the mark. I do not plan to be a victim of an evil doer and Lord help anyone who tries to hurt one of my kids!

These are just two that I own, my husband carries a Colt 45. We also have other guns...they are a good investment if nothing else...

Lastly I do my best to not put myself into places or situations where I might need to defend myself or someone else, but evil is everywhere so I want to be prepared! I don't want to have to shoot anyone, but if its them or me...

Do you have a job? And if so, do you give all the money you earn away while waiting on the Lord to supply your every need? If not, get off the high horse. It is silly to say that I can do what is required to take care of my family, which I must do, except defend them.

Seriously, do you go to the grocery store, or do you just wait at home for someone to bring you everything you need? Do you have a home, or do you just stand outside, trusting that it won't rain on you and somehow you won't freeze or get heatstroke? Do you buy gas (with no money) or do you just drive the car until whatever happens, happens?

Don't put words in my mouth. I know God has blessed me. I think that is part of His provision. I also know that He doesn't actually do my job for me, I am expected to do it myself to the best of my ability.

Read I Timothy 5:8. Doesn't say trust that God will take care of it, and do nothing. Do everything you can, and God will take up where you are insufficient.

It rains on the just and the unjust. The difference is, some of us have umbrellas.

God has done the same for me over and over...but I did not lay on the floor while it all took place! I let Him guide my steps, open doors and sometimes He just handed it to me...and sometimes He slams the door, but God does not expect us to sit on our behinds...we have to be the feet, He is my heart and soul!

I hope I still can as well! I just have some personal issues that will need time to work out before I can commit to making the purchases that I would like. I want to get a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm. I would also like a tactical shotgun as well as an "assault rifle" and I am considering what kind of higher power rifle. I will probably get a .22 at some point for general target practice.

I agree those that hate the 2nd amendment will try to creep legislation any way they can to nullify the bill of rights, specifically as it relates to law abiding citizens ability to purchase firearms. In all the bologna I hear about how terrible "assault weapons" are (which is a fallacious argument to begin with) they say nothing about Eric Holder and the DOJ for giving guns to known criminals and hide behind Executive Privilege. If they truly cared they would be yelling for President Obama to release the records at let the chips fall where they may. The hypocrisy is sickening.

The rain does certainly fall upon the just and the unjust alike and I reserve the most basic of human rights to myself - the right of self defense. When seconds count the police are just minutes away...

I hope I still can as well! I just have some personal issues that will need time to work out before I can commit to making the purchases that I would like. I want to get a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm. I would also like a tactical shotgun as well as an "assault rifle" and I am considering what kind of higher power rifle. I will probably get a .22 at some point for general target practice.

I agree those that hate the 2nd amendment will try to creep legislation any way they can to nullify the bill of rights, specifically as it relates to law abiding citizens ability to purchase firearms. In all the bologna I hear about how terrible "assault weapons" are (which is a fallacious argument to begin with) they say nothing about Eric Holder and the DOJ for giving guns to known criminals and hide behind Executive Privilege. If they truly cared they would be yelling for President Obama to release the records at let the chips fall where they may. The hypocrisy is sickening.

The rain does certainly fall upon the just and the unjust alike and I reserve the most basic of human rights to myself - the right of self defense. When seconds count the police are just minutes away...

True, the classic Ruger 10/22 is an excellent gun for practice, but don't put it down for a lack of real world use. It can go very far as a hunting tool as well as home defense weapon. :) This is one reason I have two hand guns (a Ruger MK III and Ruger SR22) along with a his and hers 10/22 rifle. A fairly cheap scope on one and a 2x night vision on the other.

My wife and I took our handgun carry class last Saturday. Since my Springfield Armory XDm compact 9mm had just come in a few days before the test at the range that is part of passing the class was not only the first time I had shot my new pistol but was the first time I have shot any pistol in probably over 15 years.

I was a little nervous but scored a 99% on the shooting test! Over the last couple of days went and applied for the carry permit which included getting fingerprinted and photographed.

Now I just have to wait. Somebody told me it takes them almost three months to process an application. The permit cost $115 and apparently a significant portion of that goes for the background check, fingerprinting, etc.

Congrats! What caliber is the 27?

.40 cal although it will take a 9mm or sig 357 barrel. Jesse has the other barrels and I shot them all... He's got two extended mags for 9mm so I was putting 62 rounds out in just under 2 minutes. Then did some practice drawing from my IWB holster.

Practice rounds were only $18 a box at the range so I put 300 rounds through it. The 27 is a perfect fit for my hand with the extended mag so there is someplace for my pinky to sit... Having it hanging around with no place to be was the only awkward thing about the subcompact initially but is all better with that change. Also the mag increases capacity to 10+1.. I also got a new Flashbang bra holster for it while I was there (they have a pretty nice store at our local range) and some other accessories. The Flashbang is my preferred holster. I'm going to do some draw and fire from the Flashbang and my thigh holster down at the creek this morning and see how those work with the new glock but I am guessing there will not be any issues.

I've been carrying a S&W airweight .38 revolver as my daily CCW for a long time but I really like this pistol enough to make the change to a semi-auto. The 27 is just so intuitive... very point and pull and my groupings were phenomenal close up and distance with the Truglo sights. The extra weight seems like a fair trade.

Well, I have every intention of getting a decent handgun, then taking the conceal carry course that my pastor teaches (he is licensed to teach, and holds courses fairly often). However, the last time I went to purchase a gun, I got some bad info about whether I needed a gun license to buy a handgun (I did, but was told I didn't). So, I had to settle for a rifle. Unfortunately, with the money I had, I could only afford a small one. This is what I ended up with.

It's actually a kid's rifle, but it works just to do some target shooting with. And it gives me something to play with until I can afford to get a better one.

Got it in today! It is an outside the waistband holster that conceals nearly as well as an inside the waistband but is a LOT more comfortable.

Well,a bit of a thread necro, but I finally did end up getting a handgun. Even had a chance to shoot it, and found out I need to get some decent gloves to wear or it's going to seriously chafe my hand. Still, it's a nice little gun.

Sure, if you want your home burglarized just tell everyone what and how many guns you have. The less everyone knows the better.
