How in the hell did we get from "help a newbie choose a decent home defense pistol", to "in case the law enforcement is wearing body armor, aim high" posts?!?!?!?

Disturbs me as well. Going from self/home defense to these other topics is in no way proper or civil.
Folks here talk sitX but there is a fine line being crossed with what some of these posters are saying. Bad juju.

As it appears some believe that discussing such topics will result in eternal damnation for all parties involved, let us just call our attacker the Bad Guy. We're talking self-defense here. If we are acting within such a right, who we are defending ourselves against doesn't really matter.
I for one am quite thankful for this thread as it has turned me on to the Glock 23 and now I need to change my underwear. All is well with the world.

Yea I upped that to 600 later on and it looks like I can find a new one for 550 or so. Thanks for the input, im not huge on brands so I am open to any and have been wondering about barrel length. The cheaper bullets for the range are a big plus for me too. As pointed out above this gun is all about self defense in my home. It will not leave the home unless going to the range.

Yeah I think it's the 625, thats a great weapon too, I would love to have one, the only problem is that i believe the best youre gonna do ffor price on that one used or not is aorund 500, and our OP here is looking for around 250ish. Also the moon clips could be great if you have a number of them reloaded and ready to roll for the fasst reload value, but they are a pain in the *** if you only have a the one ready.
