Can any gun Yas Forumsros walk me through how the fuck buying a gun online works? As far as I know you can buy they online and have them sent to a gun shop or pawn shop in your town. Is this true? Would you trust a pawn shop? And what websites would you recommend? Thanks on advance.
>pic related, fun little pew pew I want
call the ffl first. but yea it has to get shipped to an ffl and then the ffl transfers it to you. most places will charge you some nominal fee maybe $30
Yes, buy a gun. Then find a local gunstore or pawn shop. They need a federal firearm license (FFL) so yes, they are legit. Then you typically have them send their FFL to the online gunstore so the store can verify where to send the firearm. The firearm is shipped, then when it arrives you go to the store/pawnshop and fill out the ATF 4473 form just as if you were buying a gun locally. Background check, etc. If you don't live in a cucked state it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes and then you walk out with your gun. Be sure to check what the store or pawnshop charges for these transfers, typically $25 or $50. I wouldn't pay more than $50 per transfer.
Thank you man I appreciate it, you seem knowledgeable on this, besides the little fun range toy I want to buy, could you recommend me a practical cc handgun? I've been looking at Glocks and some Ruger 9mm but honestly the only handgun I've ever shot was a .44 revolver on a camping trip at 16 lol. What would you recommend?
first dude, not the above. glocks are more than fine, people meme on them but they're used globally by militaries and police for a reason. there's a lot of stuff that's in a consideration though, grip angle, striker fired or hammer, caliber, compact vs sub compact.
check your local range, they'll let you rent guns and you can try out several
Any modern polymer-framed 9mm striker gun will work fine for cc. I typically carry a Glock 19. I also have a S&W M&P 2.0 Compact. I can recommend both highly. Other good choices are the H&K VP9, Walther PPQ, and CZ P10C. All are good choices, just personal preference on grip ergonomics and trigger feel at that point. If you can go rent a few different guns at a range to test out, that's always the best way to determine what you like and what you shoot the best.
Find a good locally-owned, non big-box gun shop, ask informed questions (do research about what you're looking for first) and get to know the staff there. If you're just looking to buy your first gun, chances are they already have something good for you in stock and can walk you through the buying process which varies widely from state to state.
Supporting local gun shops is a good thing. And chances are if you're not an ignorant douchenozzle when you first walk in you'll find them extremely helpful and they won't try to sell you the ridiculous $1500 Kimber custom job they've been trying to get rid of for the past year.
If you you need to have the gun delivered to the gun shop, why not just buy directly from that gun shop? Unless you're buying some collectable antique or some super rare Kel-Tec or something.
Price dude, price. My 2.0 compact cost me $330 brand new online, granted that was a special deal. In a store? Would be like $500.
I like to support small local gunstores when I can, but sometimes the deals online are just too good. And I'm not talking like a $20 savings. Some gunstores just charge ridiculous fucking prices 100-200 above buying online. Sorry but I'm not goign to support that. I'm goign to buy online.
I just want the Ruger .22 for fun not self defense or cc, I will definitely check out the local range (though I've never been) and see what I can figure out. Thank you.
Okay that all sounds legit again I appreciate it man. Another dumb question if you have time, do you enjoy what I might call "novelty" guns like the Ruger .22 (Mark IV tactical) I posted? There's a $120 .22 revolver available at my local gun store, the Heritage Rough Rider, I'm really keen on .22s because the ammo is so cheap and they're just fun to shoot. Think it's a waste of money?
>could you recommend me a practical cc handgun?
I STRONGLY recommend finding a way to handle, or ideally shoot, whatever gun you decide you want to carry. Different people like different things, and there's a pretty huge variety in carry guns.
I carry a Kahr CM9 myself, but would like to upgrade to a Springfield Hellcat
I've owned a Ruger 22/45 for over 20 years now. Same guts, but the frame is the same size and grip angle as a Colt 1911. It's a great gun, comfy to shoot because it's heavy for the caliber, but takedown and cleaning is a pain in the butt (still have to look at the manual every time...)
Worth buying as a first pistol for familiarity and practice, definitely not for self-defense unless you're getting attacked by gophers on a regular basis.
it's a meme among gun owners but training/shooting is way more important than any other factor, it's a tool and a skill, you're not magically good at it.
.22's are fun plinkers, nothing wrong with that. I am looking at getting a Walther PPQ 22 for target practice and to put a suppressor on just for good cheap fun. Nothing wrong with that at all. 9mm and other centerfire cartridges can get expensive.
Oh and also can I get some website recommendations? I'm in the Pacific NW and "NWarmory" seems legit but I don't feel like I know enough to be confident in purchasing through them.
Is a tactical Ruger Mini 14 any good in Blackout?
I've personally purchased guns from smoky mountain gunworks and also from recoil gunworks. Can recommend both highly.
Some ranges let you rent guns, I would highly recommend it to get a feel for what you like and what you don’t like in a weapon.
Buds gun shop is pretty good, I've bought from them before.
I've bought ammo from cheaper than dirt and had good experiences. Never bought a gun from them before.
22lr caliber handguns are fun for doing lots of target shooting without spending a ton on ammo, I have a ruger sr22 pistol that I love and I'm about to get the ruger wrangler it's a 22lr revolver that's only $195 at my local shop.
The advice from other user to go to a range and rent several handguns is spot on, there are so many different choices in firearms try a bunch see what feels comfortable in your hand and take a training class or two.
That's good advice, there's 2 styles of the Mark IV tactical, classic and 1911 style, I can't decide which one I like more, I should definitely feel and shoot one before I make a choice.
Have you seen how easy the Mark IV tactical is to take down and clean? It's a selling point for me. Yeah I'm not plagued by gophers thankfully lol, just want to put a laser sight on it and shoot pop cans.
I own a .22 Ruger carbine, the synthetic black stock, I love it but unfortunately the only gun I own. Would you recommend a cc handgun over a shotgun or something I dunno more practical? I don't think I'd actually carry a handgun... I might I guess but I'm not dying to or anything, more home defense I guess. I should have phrased that better.
I'd wait on getting ammo from cheaper than dirt for a while. they're price gouging the fuck out of stuff because of covid bullshit. suplly demand is fine and makes sense but if you don't need it right this second wait a bit
Home defense is a big topic and you're going to get tons of different ideas about what is 'best.' Personally I have a suppressed 9mm Glock by my bed and an AR-15 in the closet. In the end, it's going to depend on your living situation, what your 'threat' level is, if other people in the home may also need to use the firearms, and what you are most comfortable with. At the end of the day, ANY gun is better than no gun, and if you have a gun ready to go with defensive ammo loaded up, you're already ahead of the curve.
That's a nice looking gun man I'm jealous. Threat level isn't high, I hope anyway, apartment in the ghetto but friendly with all my neighbors and no crimes in the complex at all, gf isn't "afraid" of guns per say but she declined firing my .22 rifle on multiple camping trips because she just isn't in to guns. But because all the craziness going on she recently said that it'd probably be a good idea to take her shooting and show her how to handle my rifle. I think a shotgun would scare the shit out of her honestly, same with the AR, but I really like your pistol. What was total cost? If you don't mind me asking.
wtf can you even lock the slide closed on a glock?
Yeah, I'm not buying ammo right now, most places either don't have any or are gouging. Don't really need it because most ranges are closed anyway.
Make sure it's a Mark IV if you get one. The take down is a breeze. I've got a silver non-tactical one. Pretty fun plinker
This is my older carry gun converted to home defensive. Price is approx $500 for the glock 19, $150 for the threaded barrel (mine is a Glock manufactured threaded barrel), about $800 for the Omega 9K suppressor ($600 for the suppressor and $200 to the ATF per federal law required for each suppressor purchase), $100 tritium night sights, and about $120 for the Streamlight TLR1HL light. Not cheap, but a good, reliable, and fairly quiet setup with my defense subsonic ammo which is currently 147 grain Federal HST.
Not sure what you mean?
>Background check, etc.
>it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes
says a lot about the absolute state of you people
Sig P938 is great for CC. Basically the smallest 1911 you're gonna get, in 9mm.
Well...i mean, the federal background check system which is run by the FBI is an instant check. So yeah, just takes a minute or two and factor in maybe 5 more mins to fill out the physical paperwork. So not sure why your panties are in a bunch?
