Be careful not to dox yourself. Talking about and owning guns obviously isn’t illegal, but that doesn’t mean some chud won’t try to use information against you.

We highly recommend using a throwaway when asking for or giving advice that may include identifying information. Using Tor doesn’t hurt.

    Thanks! If $500 is recommended, I could maybe go 7 or 8 for something like this. That should give some wiggle room, no?

      I think $700-$800 is a very realistic budget once you start adding in some ammo, a few extra mags, and good little safe or something to keep it in(this is a must if you don't live alone IMHO). I personally don't see much reason to spend much more than 5-600 on the gun itself. Even a good old fashioned G19 Glock is $500.

      Remember to budget for ammo too. Need a certain amount of practice - maybe few hundred rounds minimum? - before gun will do you any good.
