i dont care to impress anyone. as long as people show respect then its all good. little punks like you irritate me.
as for the leos, ive talked to all of them about it, and they discuss it with me. they dont try to bash me for their own amusement
no, no reason to carry it all the time. road trips, nights in unfamiliar areas, etc...
guns are a whole nother ball game. thats serious shit. taking a life is not a power you play with.
I'm sorry but it's impossible to take you seriously when you try to drive home the point that you like to fight a lot and garner satisfaction out of hitting people, and yet you are a responsible medical professional who wants to carry two guns with laser sights because it looks badass. You think we're being harsh? Go post this on a gun forum and see what kind of responses you get. Within an hour you'll have about 100 "edited by admin" replies.
Your perceptions of reality and reality itself are most likely parallel lines. They won't ever meet. I can't count the number of guys I've met who "like to fight" are "badasses" and "always get into shit when they're out". That song and dance haven't changed for eons. Invariably anyone who calls themself a badass isn't a badass at all. They're just a loud-mouthed asshole. Now I know that after reading this you will just want to own a bunch of sweet-ass hand cannons even more, but try to listen to what the people here are telling you. You sound like a 16-year-old on the internet, not a rational adult shopping for protection.
That having been said, .40s are great for carry weapons. Good combination of punch and capacity. You don't need two of them, because you don't shoot with a gun in each hand. Not if you expect to hit anything anyway. Please don't think that movies are realistic, because they're the exact opposite. As a general rule, if you see it in a movie, don't ever try it.
One .40 will suffice, with however many extra clips you think you need. Also keep in mind that self defense situations never evolve into prolonged gun battles with people hunkered down behind cover and scores of empty casings littering the ground. This isn't Iraq. Fight or flight kicks in almost immediately. If you pull a weapon to defend yourself it is almost guaranteed that the situation is going to end shortly thereafter. People want to run away, not eat a bullet.
Then you shouldn't be fighting either, because people can and have died from that.
a large portions of my fights were at fight clubs, cafe is an excellent example.
i dont enjoy street fighting like i used to. im 24 now, not 17
See it's that heat of the moment, you can't plan your next action. Who knows how anyone would react.
Here's a solution for you:
Get a holster for your fists. Once you never draw those out in the heat of the moment, then you can own a gun.
Or you can just call your fists guns and we're all good.

Are you wanting making fuck berserker?
Agreed.
It seems, to me, like they're trying to help you make the best decision possible. I would trust KNYTE's opinion on this subject and I understand his feelings regarding the garish way in which this has been approached. Stop bickering and learn something; other than Guitar Hero and fragging bitches in Gears of War this is his passion.
Amy and I are in the market for personal protection as well and KNYTE is the one I intend to direct my questions to when that time comes.
Respect?
You earn respect through actions and then you're humble about it.The people who've been in many fights and can take care of themselves rarely talk about it. The most dangerous people you'll meet are the antithesis of talkative about it. It's likely youve been in many fights with people of the same class as yourself, lotta talk and etc. The reason you havent been hurt is because these certain people I'm talking about will avoid gangsta shit like the plague.
This isnt true on the internet though and I'd say for your own good to drop it and talk about your CCW.
Well, you certainly know your handguns. Outstanding choices.
I would get the new 45 ACP myself, if I had the money.
Having said that, you can get 14 rounds of 45 cal in the ACP version of the Springfield xp. Without checking, I can safely assume you can get the same number of rounds in the 40 SW.
So, unless you are traveling with a crowd that is dragging vampires out into the sunlight, I just don't see the need for that many opportunities at hand. It might make a fellow reckless, having a tendency not to aim and squeeze; after all, the object is to hit what you aim at and it doesn't take over 14 rounds to drop a bear (that is if you hit it).
Other than that, nice choice of shootin' irons.

By the way, the HK Compact .40 is as close to the perfect size for a carry weapon as I've seen. I'd check them out before settling on the Springfield.

he made a comment about my $200 shoes. i actually bought 2 pair. its just some irrelivant bullshit he brought up.
If you truly need to use the gun to protect yourself, you will be close enough to the individual that missing won't be an option. The laser is more of an added feature that looks cool but doesn't really do anything useful.
i think everybody made a false assumption.
nobody clarified either, they just thought up some bullshit and rolled with it.
thats a total lack of respect. and the ignorance involved in that is what irritates me.
if anybody ever spouted of shit about bikes, id be more than happy to hear them out, and enlighten them to any misunderstandings or what not. id never just bust balls. unless it was with a friend and all in fun
