.45 in such a small frame? I wouldn't run that high a caliber in anything smaller than a Glock 38 but that's not a .45 auto round anyway.

What do you guys think about a Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry .45? I want one for my 21st birthday.

[CrackerTeg]

Short barreled 1911? Not a bad choice especially considering its a Kimber. Shot it before?

As for my inquiry, I've shot and carried the Beretta M9 and Sig P226 just for a reference. I like the feel of the Sig but want something different from what I carry. What's you guys' take on the FMK 9C1? The company's fairly new to the game but have gotten gun of the month awards from multiple magazines if it makes any difference.

[wtcii]

I haven't. I started liking it because of the way it looked but from all the research I've done it seems like a pretty good gun.

[CrackerTeg]

Keep in mind, the recoil out of that sumbitch is going to be more than a standard 1911 at that caliber. Ever shot a short barreled .45?

[wtcii]

Haha nope. I have minimal experience with pistols. I have shot them, but not many. I guess I should start shooting some to decide if that's what I really want.

[CrackerTeg]

That'd be a good idea.

i have a CZ-75 P01 and highly recommend it to anyone.

I'll check that out.

What do you guys think about a Kimber Ultra CDP II? It is a 9mm with a 3" barrel.

[CrackerTeg]

Less kick and with the right ammo, pretty good stopping power.

I might want to get into the gun game where should I start and what should I expect to pay

[wtcii]

Depends on what you want. I started with shotguns because I hunt fowl. Shotguns price range varies. I probably started on a $300 gun now my best shotgun is around $1000. The pistol pictured about is about $1400. What do you want it for?

[Mike]

Basically to sit in my safe unless shit hits the fan

Check out the Taurus Judge.

The Judge is not all that great from what I've heard.  Never shot it, but know a few folks that have em.  I keep a few hand guns around for personal protection and a 12 gauge with an 18" home defense barrel for the heavy lifting (I have a contractor on speed dial just in case I need to use it, lol).  I like to shoot rifles for fun.  .308, .300 win mag, 7mm mag, 45-70, etc...

Why start small, go straight to the big guns.  Get a Barrett and watch everyone run in fear!  I got a chance to shoot one and it's quite the experience (they are made about 5 miles from my house).  At $5 per round, play time gets expensive.  I wouldn't suggest you shoot it without the muzzle brake unless someone is around to help put your shoulder back in its socket.
