Hey thanks, but I was hoping for a serious answer. Thank you though.

Fuck you reddit man, how bout we settle this on the ring?

QTDDTOT

Faggot, go back to wherever you came from.

You should support your LGS. Unless they do stupid shit like stock more (((Tavors))) than anything else.

>>566215

why should i if theyre gonna charge me 25$ for the priviledge of having to send interstate gun purchased to them? that shit costs them 0 dollars

>>566217

It costs time, and the transferred gun is basically a lost sale. My LGS charges a different fee if they stock the firearm or not.

Just price compare. Online won't be that much cheaper than a GOOD LGS, especially after you figure in shipping and transfer fees (but don't forget to factor tax out).

Price compare. You may be pleasantly surprised at local prices, or you could even hit a fun show or some online classifieds and get a used one for less with no transfer fee (assuming you live in a state that allows private purchases).

10 minutes of their time is not worth 25$.

>basically a lost sale

no it isnt, that assumes i would buy whatever gay shit they stock if i didnt have acces to buying it online. furthermore why sould i care about this?

>Online won't be that much cheaper

yeah lemme just hit up my local gun store for shit thats no longer in production.

gun shows are good, but only for buying from private indivuduals. dealers just bring 5 tables of glocks and ars.

>>566215

I've been on both sides of the counter. The guys I know that are good people, sure. The guys that always have some milsurp and oddball shit on the wall, that generally know what they're talking about I'm happy to support.

The assholes that just moved from New York/Illinois/Cali and want me to pay $200 over market for a standard AR or Glock because they think we're all dumb hicks and they can get away with it can go fuck themselves sideways with an Italian Vetterli.

>pay $200 over market for a standard AR

fucking trump and his parkland bullshit, ar15s are now 100 dollars more expensive. at this rate a typical ar15 will cost you 700 dollars brand new. you might as well just buy a JP rifle for 1.5k and have an actual rifle worth the money.

>>566221

>assuming you live in a state that allows private purchases

I didnt even realize tyranny had gotten that bad where you can't even buy a gun off some dude legally

>>566237

Washington state, Oregon, and possibly others have passed what they call 'Universal background check' laws, which means no transfer can legally take place without going through an FFL. Even in a place like my state (Alabama), some of the Police Chiefs and Sheriffs in the larger cities send out flyers and pamphlets saying that any firearm transfer should go through an FFL to keep everything legal, basically implying to people that don't know any better that we've got the same sort of law.

You asked about modern carry guns. I'm telling you how to get modern carry guns. Your LGS should be price competitive with general online prices. Mine is. For older stuff best luck to you yeah transfer fees suck mine are $15 if they can't stock it. Not sure what you collect but C&R license has pretty much kept me from having to pay any transfer fees in years.

Options include S&W SDV9 at 300$. It's closer to a full size pistol at 16+1 and the trigger isn't great. For a smaller gun (6/7/8+1) the Walther PPS M2 is another great choice at 300$. Right now gunbuyer is offering an LE version with night sights, 3 magazines, and a hard case for 320$. Both of those guns are Glock style takedown, which makes it easy to clean. (If you find a gun in store it doesn't hurt to ask if they price match online stores!)

As far as a safety goes, get a good and stiff holster (expect to spend 55-75$) and the trigger safety is all you need. (Appendix carry < 4 o'clock IMO) Just keep your finger off of the trigger until ready to shoot. Carry without one in the chamber if you aren't ready, but understand a manual safety is largely irrelevant when you practice the 4 rules.

Ammo is another consideration, at about 11-12$ for 50 FMJ range rounds you'll need a few range sessions to learn how to use the gun. Even better if you can practice drawing and firing if you live in a rural area. Once you are trained the cost of defense ammo is .50-1$ a round. You'll want to cycle at least a box worth thru your gun to ensure it feeds properly, as well as ease of shooting.

Consider getting a good light on your gun (75$) and prices are at 225$ just for peripherals.

You will be spending a good amount on your gun if you plan on using it properly! Cry once and buy once! Get a quality gun by spending a little bit more now.

Op don't be a nigger faggot. I'm sure you can afford at least $100-200 more which will get you a bit closer to the better end and you might just say fuck it and save a small bit more for the better shit or you can end up with the amount needed for a police trade in gun from a reputable company and money for ammo or a holster to spare. Also buying from stores like Cabelas or BassPro is a guarantee that you'll be paying at or close to MSRP which can easily be avoided if you look around. But in short don't be a nigger and buy some hi point tier gun that you'll end up hating and not practicing with it. Besides the more popular carry guns obviously have more choices for holsters (since you did say it's for CC) that are either actually in stock or are made by some literally who company that put even less effort into their product design than you would have buying an el cheapo gun if you go this route.

yes not everyone can afford good shit but a carry gun is something you need to be comfortable with and like so you'll want to practice often and get good for when jamal wants your asshole because he was anally bullied too many times in prison

basically smith and wesson, maybe ruger (tend to be pretty fucking ho hum if not a wheel gun), and glock which all may be found as a police trade in

>>566262

>or are made by some literally who

Meant to say cheaper less known guns tend to just have a selection of holsters made by literally whos while better well known ones will be supported by better and larger companies. Also to know, avoid "universal" holsters that you find for $5 at Walmart they're either slow to draw from, not as comfortable, have CC as a selling point but are bulkier than most police style duty holsters, along with usually having shitty retention on your belt so it could be ripped off your body.
