That would be cool. We could find someplace in between it doesn't have to be Shoot Smart.

I do to when I shoot rifle. For handguns I like the indoor you don't have to deal with cease fire and you can adjust the distance at will.

Danny, have you thought about getting a shotgun? I know it's not small but that's the ultimate home defense gun. When you're half asleep and not fully focused all you have to do it point it in the general direction and let er rip. Additionally, I'm sure if a would be robber heard you rack a shotgun they probably wouldn't keep coming. I bought my Mossberg 500a for $200. Holds 7 shells. I keep 5 bird/target shot as the first rounds and 2 slugs as a just in case.

Cabelas and bass pro usually have some decent deals on sawed off defense shotguns as well.

Thought about it. Heard that is the cheaper route. I kinda wanted a decent hand gun too for recreational target practice too.

If you want to get a little complicated, just start shooting from the hip. Lol

I advise shoot smart also. You pay one rental fee and you can shoot the entire case. Think about this, you are getting this as self defense, is your life worth $200? My everyday carry and league shooting gun is a SIG 226.. I have other guns but it's the one I always go back to. It's been thru water, mud, sand , snow , rain , heat, cold, never failed and still drives tacks. As for round size.... I prefer .40 9 mm is cheap but some times it goes too fast. . P.s. Leo's are all poor shots!!!! Ha ha

This is really the only option: (object in picture shown actual size.. sry about that, posting from phone)



Be wary of advice given by sales people at a lot of gunshops.. Even among the gun enthusiasts posting in this thread there is a bit of bad information.. for instance, spread out of a 18.5" 12ga shotgun barrel shooting buckshot down the longest hallway in your home is going to be about as large as your fist.

I sincerely suggest shooting with someone who knows their stuff before you make a purchase, knowing how to properly handle a gun and understanding recoil, etc will greatly impact the purchase you decide on.

A Smith and Wesson SD9 VE is a good weapon. It is a glock 17/26 clone, which is heavily regarded as the standard among 9mm striker fired pistols. Glock even sued S&W on the design for copyright infrigment and won. Best part about it, they can be had brand new in the $350 range (which is easily $150 less than its Glock brother).
