The G30 is a great CCW peice in 45.

I carry mine infrequently. It's a kick-ass gun and I'm pretty accurate with it, but it's just a little too big for me to carry well unless it's in the winter. I always have my G26 on me, though. I'm picking up a G36 soon. I'll sacrifice a few rounds (versus the 30) for a .45 roughly the same size as a G26.

If you have one of the 2-3 pre-86s in existance, then yes. As long as you have a CCW it should be legal. State dependant I guess... ?

As to all the rest of the G18s out there. I don't know if post-samples can be CCW-ed. I doubt it. God I hate Regan for his 86 bullshit. You can bet your ass I would CCW a FA G19.

hey great idea!

Questions about pistols...

I went to the range about a month ago now, and fired a few different guns... couple of .22's for fun, a Glock 19 (9mm) and a Glock 21 (.45)

The .45 felt really nice in my hand and it felt like it had a lot less recoil than the 9mm.

I'm looking to pickup a pistol just to have some fun with, take it to the range, out to the fields, etc. so I was wondering what more experienced gun owners would recommend. I've heard that beginers should not start with a .45 but that gun felt awfully nice in my hand...

just wanted some other input into what kind of guns I should look into before I buy one. This was the first time I shot a hang gun in all my 22 years :)

Meh I wasn't even going to get into that. If there are any pre-86's out there, they would have to be an ATF form 4 transfer (background check w/finger prints, local police sign off and tax stamp purchase), as with all select-fire weapons. If I remember correctly, you can't have any NFA-regulated firearms concealed & loaded, as per federal law. This applies to post-samples too. Even then you'd have to be a class 3 SOT (or work for one) to have one in your posession.

If it feels good, go for it. I love my G30 (with the exceptions I've already said) and it's big brother, the G21 is a great gun to have for home defense or target shooting. .45 ammo is usually more expensive than others like 9mm, but it is very manageable. Go try some more weapons and calibers and pick what you feel the most comfortable with. Just because someone else didn't start on a .45 doesn't mean you can't.

Hey Outofstep -

1. Can you give me a quick rundown on what to look for and/or what to avoid when looking at a used pistol?

2. How are condition and ratings on used weapons determined?

3. What is the minimal rating: Good/VG/Excellent/Like New and/or %'age that you would be willing to buy?

Nope, it's a Colt AR-15 Sporter LightWeight, more commonly known as a CAR-15A2. M4's are government only, and anyone who tells you likewise is SOF. It came with an 16" A1 barrel, but I switched it to an 11.5" full chromoly bull barrel w/ 5.5? flash suppressor.

I'm getting ready to buy a flat top receiver, an M4 barrel & a SIR A.R.M.S. #50. That way, I can swap the whole upper in a matter of seconds & have a completely different weapon.
