why do you want a gun? blasting intruders, preparing for disaster, hunting? just because they're neat? any reason to be armed is a good reason, but the answers are different depending on what purpose you have planned. what's your price range, do you live in the city, or a rural area, do you live alone or with family/roommates, do you live in an apartment?

not trying to bombard you with questions, really, but we need to know more to help you pick out what best suits you.

I'm wanting to own for self defense so probably a handgun but I would like to shoot for fun at target ranges. I don't necessarily wanna cheap out but I don't wanna save up more than 500$ to spend. I live with family still since I can't afford a home

well, first of all it's illegal in most states for vendors to sell a handgun to anyone under the age of 21. judging by a number of factors, I'd say your best option is a hi-point carbine.

they're rugged and reliable, accurate enough, and chambered in a pistol caliber of your choosing. That way when it's time for you to pick a handgun, you can have commonality of ammunition, which eases your logistics.

also, it can be loaded with hollow-points. this both increases the likelihood of your first shot stopping an assailant, and also reduces the chance that if you miss, your shot will penetrate the wall and hurt someone on the other side (which is why I was asking about your living arrangements)

they also have one of the largest selections of aftermarket parts available so you can really tune it to your exact needs.

Ruger 10/22

Get the land and build something nice

if i could buy 20 acres for 10k i would easily.

Its piss easy to use land to generate funds to buy guns, but guns don't generate land very well.

Might even consider the laser model for a woman unfamiliar with guns that is not going to practice and just want general protection carry pistol.

>>35120267

If you get the lc9s, consider that the light weight makes the recoil a little tougher. Follow ups shots might be a problem.

What companies make good single shots?

>>35120157
Henry by default since they are the only ones not making them in turkey or china. I don't know if they are out for sale yet though, and they are like $350.

H&R for used ones.

Singles aren't even really that good of a deal anymore, H&R's are like $150+ now, at least in my area.

Modify millions of Dragon dildos with helium-filled cavities and made from extremely lightweight materials to make them just barely heavier than air, and then release them over the hurricane at points where the wind will cause them to make landfall over populated areas.

Assuming you're serious, you'll need to be a lot more specific, as to what calibre, your budget, things like that.

ITT: reddit humor for 12 year olds

Absolutely yes, though it probably wouldn't make sense to have it be operated by a human operator to the same extent current UAVs are, it would have to be able to make split second autonomous decisions.

>>35119681
I think automating drones for dogfighting would be incredibly hard considering that humans are to unpredictable to have pre selected responses to. Also there isn't that much data (I assume) of dogfighting for a self learning a.i.. Let's just say that I wouldn't want to be the engineer tasked with automating flight combat.

1. Wrong Rohm. Hinkley used an RG-14, not an RG-10.
2. 90 isn't horrible in today's market if it's in really nice condition and it's Zephyr branded.
3. Zephyr was an Arminius branding, which later was under the FIE umbrella, but the RG-10's were pre-68.

So not bad famfam

>>35119792
So thats how come it didn't asplode like a rohm?

>>35119792
I don't really understand, does that mean my revolver predates or postdates rohm, i know it was made in germany so it couldn't have been made past ban since i am in us.

>>35119356
To be honest with you I'm not that big of a fan of lever action rifles. I'm not sure, they just 'feel' clunky to me.

Where do you live? Do you live somewhere you can get Manurhins or Korths? If you do, I would avoid Rugers and S&Ws entirely.

best .357's

>early colt pythons
>s&w 686 without lock
>manurhin mr73
>s&w model 27
>ruger gp100 i guess
>ruger blackhawk i guess

the best out of those, nobody would agree unanimously. pythons are smooth but delicate, expensive, and the later models aren't as good. model 27 is very large and heavy. ruger is considered a lower range brand and has bias against it. manurhin is french and hard to get anything that isn't some surplus, and the 686 has so many changes through its production that it's hard to decide which version is the best other than the ones before the lock.

just as an aside, IMO the best 686 is the 7 shot no lock model. it's practically impossible to find and people want $1000+ for them.

TL;DR depends on what you really want, nobody will agree
