Is a Ruger GP100 a good first gun? I would ask /k/, but that place flows so hard any discussion not about Ukraine is page 10'd

Spellcheck

>>508572255 (OP)
the fuck are you on about? Threads about one gun will stay up on /k/ for days. It's fine to get any big name brand gun for your first gun. Dum dum.

get an assault rifle 15 and a glock.

What do you plan to do with the gun? Is it for home protection? Target shooting? Hunting? What is your experience level with firearms?

I have one, great gun to shoot. Revolvers are underrated imo, and the fact you can put in a 357 self defense round or a super cheap 38spec wad cutter into it is very cool.

>>508572255 (OP)
In murrica you can't try a weapon before buy it?

>>508572255 (OP)
No, a revolver is not a good first gun. Get a Ruger RXM or MAX-9. Both are compact so you can carry pocket the. Both are cheap yet reliable.

>>508572255 (OP)
If you can't figure out that you should ask this in the appropriate general instead of making a thread on the wrong board, the only reason you should ever get a gun is to kill yourself with it

>>508575066
no, you'll get it dirty
once the shrinkwrap comes off so does the warranty

>>508572255 (OP)
Just follow the guide.

>>508572892
Armalite rifle 15

>>508572255 (OP)
Exceptionally reliable and pretty easy to learn on.
Not a bad choice.

>>508572255 (OP)
.357 revolver is a meme and basically equates to 9mm when shot out of a barrel less than 10" or something.
Short barrel on that will be even slower. Bug muzzle flash from unburnt powder (unusable propellant) and only 6 rounds.
I know 9mm striker fires are boring af but you'll get 10 more rounds, more controlled, with pretty much the same force behind them.
Imo first gun should be a 10/22 or a 12ga.

>>508578533
If Paul Harrel (RIP) were still around he'd want to throttle you for that abortion of a post.
Generally speaking .357 is significantly more powerful than 9mm regardless of barrel length.

Granted there are some really powerful 9mm+p and some really crap .357 rounds out there where the difference is less significant, but my point still stands.

Super reliable and will last for ever. Hopefully my grandkids get this one. Depends on what you want it for though if we are talking about first pistol everybody needs a 9mm with double stacked capacity

>>508572255 (OP)
get a 22LR and go to the range until you can put all 100 rounds in a box in the 10 ring.
then do the same the next week.
then come back and we can talk about your big boy underoos.

>>508572255 (OP)
Have you considered an FN reflex? It's what I replaced my old daily carry with. The advice l used to give my coworkers when they would ask for gun advice was to see if one of the local ranges rents guns and shoot the ones that fit you the best.

357 only surpasses 9mm out of a 6" barrel. Anything smaller might as well be 9mm.

>>508572255 (OP)
The type of gun matters only when the people you are shooting at have guns as well.

A simple 1911 is all i need to defend myself when shit hits the fan.

If you just want a show gun that also functions, get something ridiculous and shiny. The harder it kicks, the better. You won't be shooting it a lot anyway. Look for the word Magnum and ask for the best looking one. You can get magnum rifles too and hollow point rifle bullets as well. Jacketed soft point bullets are also great for splintering plywood targets, like hollow points. And great if you ever go on a hunt for some reason.

But on the off chance you are serious, pick one of the following calibers. 357 magnum revolver, for your magnum fix. It also shoots .38 special because 357 is a trade name, not the actual caliber. You could get a 38 special only but that will feel wimpy if your goal is to show off. 9mm and 45 ACP are also great practice calibers, like 38 special if you expect to actually need to daily carry. Long way of saying a GP 100 is a solid choice for a first gun.

Never even heard of Cor bon ammunition.
If you look at the federal loads you'll see the .357 completely outclasses 9mm in anything longer than a 2inch barrel.

>>508572255 (OP)
Chek'd and no, not for a first gun, although they're greats as a fun/hunting sidearm down the line. You need an AR, a Glock 19 and 5k rounds of both 5.56 and 9mm before you do anything else.

>>508579238
Dont post your funs on the internet retard.

>>508583348
Ok, apparently Cor Bon underloads it's .357 cartridges for some reason.

>>508572255 (OP)
Fuck no, revolvers are outdated and you'll get swarmed by niggers if you have to reload

>>508572255 (OP)
Depends. If you want to go shoot at fucked fridges on public land for funsies, fair enough. Whatever.

If you want to do it right, no. Go get a couple of 22s and a big pile of ammo and learn the fundamentals. Do not skip this step or you WILL pick up bad habits that are hard to shift. Then get either a Glockalike in 9mm (go finger fuck them with your newfound competence in mind, only you'll know which one) or a reasonably barrelled AR in 5.56 (midlength or rifle gas) with a decent sight appropriate to your situation, and do it again. Then do it again with the one you didn't pick.
NOW you can buy playtime guns like revolvers.

>>508572255 (OP)
Idk, I just went into the hardware store and bought a S&W mp15 back in 2020 and it works pretty good, .308 version is always better though.

It is rare, but Muslim women are allowed to participate in Jihad as warriors and are called Mujahidah.

No one is forcing these women to wear niqab, these women just love God that much. Most Mujahideen are men.

Why do Muslims fight Jihad? It is not out of hate, it is out of love for God. To be a Mujahid is to be someone who loves God so much you will fight and die for Him.

>>508572255 (OP)
Start with either a single shot or bolt action. Only load one round at first, then move on to semi-auto when you get the hang of it. Use .22 to start so you learn to deal with low-recoil arms first. Later, move up to higher recoil in long rifle, then semi-auto and shotguns. Move slowly and think clearly when working with firearms, and you will be safe and have good firing sanitation. That tip alone will set you apart from the boobs at the range.

>>508572255 (OP)

>Ruger GP100
It's fine. I'd recommend a Mk 4 or a 22/45, or even a 10/22 over the GP100

>>508572255 (OP)
Also, start out with long guns and learn the basic shooting tactics for shooting while sitting, prone, etc. Then move to shooting while standing. Practice, practice, practice.

Stay safe and keep it sharp and accurate.

>>508572255 (OP)
Mossberg 590 (990 if you’re feeling spunky).
PSA AR-15
Glock 19
This is your SHTF load out.
Also get body armor. No point if having a good load out if you can’t survive the shootout.

>>508572255 (OP)
Yes. Itll likely outlast you as well. its been a reliable innawoods/truck gun for me and ive not been kind to it.
Ruger makes great, not excellent, but great guns. Their service is hands down the best ive ever seen though. So in the off chance you ever have an issue theyll fix it no problem for you.

>>508572255 (OP)
I would not recommend a handgun to anyone who hasn't been around rifles and shotguns for at least three years. And that's three years consistently attending the gun range.
