Re: Variance(?): I want to purchase a firearm
[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for the tips DDY. For the record, I am willing to sacrifice having a firearm for home security in exchange for 100% guarantee my son will never have access to it (when he is staying with me), so trigger locks + safe is OK with me. Glock's Super 10 (Glock 20) [/ QUOTE ] If you have it in a safe, that should be enough. Problem is, if you have a trigger lock and have it in a safe, will you really be able to get to it quick enough if you need it? Keep in mind you may have only 5 seconds to get it. Remember that it isn't any good if you can't get to it fast enough. If you go the trigger lock+safe route, make sure you keep the key close and I suggest drilling yourself 1/month in getting it out of the safe FAST. And I agree that your son not being able to get to it should be priority #1.

Re: Variance(?): I want to purchase a firearm
If you want to carry I personally like these two, the Kimber Ultra Carry II in .40:
 or Springfield XD Sub-Compact in .40:  Other recommendations: Sig 226, doesn't look like you want a .45 but Kimber makes some nice 1911's including the bad ass Gold Match Ten II, a .45 with a 13 round clip:  I'm not a big Glock fan but it's all about personal preference, go the range, try a bunch of different guns and buy the one you like.

Re: Variance(?): I want to purchase a firearm
Anyone have a CCW by the way (Californians). I need a good reason to carry, so far I have self-defense/someone threatening me, plus, I carry large sums of cash from time to time. I'm curious as to whether or not those are good enough reasons.

Re: Variance(?): I want to purchase a firearm
Get a Deagle. They're really great if you're good at getting those headshots in one try, and should be no problem to conceal:
 My second choice would be the trusty old AK-47. It's really great if you keep from spraying with it and do controlled bursts to the head. Concealment might be troublesome though.  Finally, if you're a real balla, I would consider getting an AWP sniper rifle. If you hit, it's an instant kill! Concealment is a big issue here, but you'll be camping behind a crate anyway so it's not like it's gonna be a big problem.

I'm thinking about a Glock 20 (10mm KERPOW!@!!!), or possibly one of the .38 models. Any handgun enthusiasts with suggestions? I have a young son (5) that is with me every weekend, but next week he is moving out of state, so for the next few years I will be going there to visit. At any rate, he will be with me during the summers... so suggestions on how to keep the weapon secured would also be nice. [/ QUOTE ] Glocks are pretty safe. A holster would be a great way to carry it. Safety on. Do not let kids play with it..... Revolvers are pretty nice Also have anything against them.I carry a .44 up here in Alaska when Im fishing... Have came very close to many bear, Haven't had to use it yet , But it would work if it came down to it... What are you getting the gun for . Uses????

I have never owned a gun and probably never will but for some reason I really want one of these, the TAR-21 Israeli assault rifle.  [/ QUOTE ] I'm going to get to fire an assault rifle pretty soon. My friend is a Detective and can buy whatever he wants legally =D.
