Yea I didn’t look at it that way but you’re rightYou rightly noticed, we are fans of weapons, and this is a gift for life, he will grow up, years will pass, a family and children will appear, and he will tell his children about this day

It’s also a gift that can take a life if someone wants to get stupid, lol
Lots of good times to be had firing off that weapon I’m sure. And always good to have another person in the house who knows how to handle a gun.
Guns can be Great heirlooms too.

I was just a child and my grandfather put a gun in my hands and I dreamed that they would give me a birthday present, but they didn’t give me
New 9mm I just added to the collection, and I must say that this thing is a sweet little gun for around $300! PSA’s dagger compact, I didn’t care about the threaded barrel or optics plate, just kept it plain Jane for everyday carry. Very impressive night sights on the gun and crucial concealment Owb holster for Glock 19 fits it perfectly!

Generally not a huge fan of PSA stuff, but these little Daggers are honestly solid pistol offerings. We put probably 1500-2000 rounds through a test model my brother bought with zero feed issues or malfunctions. Mostly cheap FMJ but we tested a few different carry rounds also. Still prefer my Glocks but I've purchased one of these for the safe also and wouldn't hesitate to carry it.
Seems to be in line with PSAs reputation. Some rifles go 10k with zero issues some stumble on the first mag. If they shaped up their QA/QC they'd be a truly solid entry level option vs a roulette spin.

I will say that. These two are the only ones I've got experience with (as far as their pistol lines) but with the questionable QC on their AR's I'm sure the pistols are the same.

I have two rifles that belonged to my grandfather; on is a WInchester model 1892 originally in .32-40 (rechambered in .38-55 because my dad didn't clean the black powder out adequately when he was a child), and a .22 pump gun. I learned to shoot those on his farm before I was 8 years old; I loved the days that my grandfather and dad would take me to his dumping area to shoot old cans and bottles (y'know, back in the day when no one thought twice about dumping trash in the middle of the woods on a farm.)
Those are easily my most prized possessions from my grandfather.
I lost my right to own firearms in Illinois, and I sold a house and moved to the American south so that I could keep those rifles.
Guns don't have to be fancy in order to be heirlooms that your kids will cherish; they just have to remind them of good times with you.
That’s awesome.

Nice! Can't go wrong with a glock. Mine is a glock 17, never had an issue with it. Makes a nice daily carry.

Smith and Wesson still have a Rebate going for another few weeks. Probably going to grab either a 10mm or another Shield Plus.
So I’m in the gun shop a few days ago looking at Kimbers, the fat sales guy said to me “yea, it’s a cute gun” and it didn’t help that he looked like the fat principal from the movie Billy Madison. Wtf kind of man tells another man in a gun store “it’s a cute gun?” It wasn’t like I was looking at a Tiffany blue Taurus or anything!
Then I go in there today to pick this up and jokingly say to a different sales guy ,”I’m going to do half cash and half card, I need to keep my wife from knowing about this”
Dude says to me ,”I feel like that’s something you should be open about, that should have been established when you took your wedding vows”
How about you just ring up the fucking gun and spare me your therapist .02 bullshit! Like I’m back there banging some bitch telling you not to tell my wife or something, smh! I can deal with jokes and “oh man, get ready for an argument” but this holier than thou talk needs to end idiot! And the thing is, HE IS RIGHT, I KNOW THIS! I already feel like shit enough, just stfu already, hahahaha

The first guy might have just been pulling your leg if he thought you had interest in the gun. You know, like calling it "cute" in a way like he might buy it for his girlfriend, lol. The other guy, different story. Dude's balls are in his wife's purse, right under his tofu nuggets.
Those are the type of dudes that come home to find their wife with some backyard bros
Yeah. Well, the smart ones anyways. The dumb ones never do catch on. They just wonder why the wife is always receiving a text from the "gardener" asking if her husband is home, lol.
I am new on here but wanted to thank you for great info on here. Seen a few of your reviews and it helps cut to the chase.
I started shooting about 12 years back. The invaluable investment is a 22lr in a pistol, or a rifle if you are getting into long guns. Nothing beats real world practice! I had bought 3 different pistols and practiced a fair amount. After buying a buckmark 22 and going through thousands of rounds, that the advice of buying a 22 cannot be overestimated. It almost becomes meditative after awhile.
Thanks again for your contributions on here.

That, and spend money on classes.
I've gone through one Appleseed event, and strongly recommend them. Please be smart though, and use a .22lr; the weekend round count is about 700-ish, so it gets expensive otherwise. It's fantastic for learning the fundamentals of marksmanship, and most of it (except the use of a sling as a stabilizing aid) carries over to handguns as well.
NRA classes are solidly okay; not great, not awful. They're the baseline; any decent instructor should, at a minimum, be NRA certified, regardless of how you feel about the politics of the ILA arm of the NRA.
