They are ugly and many will tell you they are not good. I have not shot one so I can say if they are good or not. Best thing to do is try one out and then make a choice.

Come and get us zombies! If you can't tell, shooting sports is my other hobby.
It's not very smart to give a list of firearms you have at home when using your real name as a handle and have your location listed. It took all of 10 seconds to find your address on Google. Now your home is a target. That was not too swift!!!!!!!
You are giving the liberals a good excuse for gun control.

If you are looking for a home defense weapon stay away from a pistol. I recommend a shorter barreled shotgun. The advantage of a shotgun is that you don't have to aim very well and you don't have to worry about killing a neighbor if your home is close to a neighbors.
If it's primarily for home defense or to have in your car, I like knotquiteawake's suggestion of a revolver - simpler for the novice to operate. But in that case, I'd suggest maybe a .357 Magnum, such as a S&W K-frame or equivalent with a 4 inch barrel. You can shoot the milder .38 Spl in the .357 and if you get comfortable with the recoil from those, you can later move up to shooting .357 Mag. - and if not, there are some pretty good .38 Spl defensive rounds you can use.

Ok, that's what I'm looking for, what is your unbiased opinion of it's performance in accuracy and dependability, I couldn't care less if it's ugly or not,
ThanX!

Nice! I had no idea about this thread. I will be checking in often. I might be a Californian from the Bay Area but I love my shooting sports!
Agreed. I have two shotguns under my bed and box of bird shot on my nightstand. I don't want to ruin my walls too much
I have 2 Remington 700's (in .30-06 and .50 caliber muzzleloader), several assorted shotguns, and a Ruger P-97 in 9 mil. I usually get a couple of deer a year, and if I'm lucky, a turkey. We shoot doves, squirrels, and ducks when we can, and we eat them all. Even shot a pigeon on a dairy farm last season, and my 15-yr-old son wanted to cook it up. We did and it was great.

gaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.
I love 1911's. One of the UPD Officers that I see all the time at work has this GORGEOUS Kimber 1911.
I've just got a cheap stoeger cougar 8040. (basically a short barrel beretta, for home/self defense)

I'm a shooter. Have a Savage Model 10 FCP .308 with a Nikon Monarch 4-16X42SF scope, Colt Government 1991A1 .45ACP, Taurus 24/7 Pro 9mm, Ruger Ranch .223, Stevens 12 gauge, Winchester Model 90 .22LR; and I am a CCW permit holder. I am starting to get into reloading but is really cuts into my brewing budget!
I had a 9mm CZ 75 SP01 Tactical, a Kel-Tec PF9 and a Ruger MK III target pistol, but I sold them all a couple years ago. I really liked the CZ but I'd like a .45, so I'm thinking a CZ 97 B might be my next gun. I'd also like to get a 1911 (preferably a Springfield) and an XDM. Gonna have to work a lot of OT.

Glad to see another CZ fan...My own personal favorite is my original 40P (first run)
I'm jones'n for a CZ 453 Varmint in 22lr right now!
I swore I had posted my carry gun here... Kahr P45 with the DLC finish. I've carried a dozen different pistols, it gets no better, compact and still a big bore.

Used to shoot alot, since I was a little lad (which isn't really that long ago). Anyway, my favorite is my 1987 Ruger Redhawk, 7.5", in .44Mag, blued.
Rifle, I hunted with a Remington Model 700 in .243Win, synthetic stock, 3-9x Buckmasters scope. Shotgun is a Remington 1187 Short, wood stock.
My dad used to be a gunsmith, and he's sorta taught me some stuff. Rifle is glass-bedded, and every trigger is light, slick, and sharp. Kyle

A 30-30 for long range shooting??? Don't take this wrong but from my part of the country, a 30-30 is never referred to as a long range rifle. More of a brush gun.
That's ok though. Different hunting habitats require different weapons. Our hunting is for deer, pronghorn (usually just called antelope), and elk. If your lucky, a moose license and possible big horn sheep or mountain goat. Either way a heavy hitting magnum rifle is in order. My personal favorites are the 264 win mag, 7mm rem mag, 300 win mag, and the 338 win mag. All can reach out and touch when getting closer than 500 yards is not possible. All are effective beyond that range in the hands of a truly skilled marksman.
All that said, the freezer is full of fresh, free range, deer, elk, and antelope for the winter. Now it's time to start firing up the old brew kettle again!

I have a couple 1911s and a SIG P250 Compact 9mm for carry.
Looking at picking up a .308 AR for hunting piggies.
