[Baked Al-Aqsa]

I asked my stream for 2 pistols, 1 shotgun, 1 rifle suggestion. From their input, this is my non-conclusive list.

AR15 M4E1 in 5.56 (Aero Precision)
Mossberg 590
Beretta 92
P365-380 P365 in 9mm

I'm not set on the pistols or the AR-15 brand. I kind of want an M1911 .45 ACP because my grandfather has one and it feels very American, but the comparisons between .45 ACP and 9mm lean towards 9mm.

I'll give you a much better list of plug and play that you literally have no ability to go wrong with:

AR15: Colt 6920. Just do it.

Shotgun: Mossberg 500 or 590, Remington 870, or Maverick 88. You can't go wrong with any of them. You absolutely will go wrong with a turkshit or chinese meme shotgun or a double barrel.

22: Ruger 10/22.

Hunting: Remington 700 in .308.

Pistol: Glock 17&19. Anybody telling you anything else is too old or too dumb. You will not be anywhere in the United States that doesn't have Glock magazines.

Compact carry pistol: Sig Sauer P365 in 9mm. Don't get guns in 380 for serious use. It's 2022.

That's the list of guns you absolutely need. Anything else is icing on the cake.

 

[Rainbow Idiot]

All home defense and range. If I ever decide to go hunting I'll probably pick something up just for that.

I've got a P365xl and it's great for pocket carry as long as you have decent sized pockets ie cargo shorts.

Rifle kinda depends on your budget an areo is supposed to be perfectly adequate but I've never owned one. I have had a PSA and while it was better than expected it wasn't great. Also own a POF wonder which is probably the best shooting AR I've ever messed with although a little bit pricier.

@Club Sandwich @Particle Bored any suggestions?

@Null get two serbu shorties and something that can punch through body armor like 5.7 ammo.

 

[break these cuffs]

I wouldn't waste the money on the Remington name for a no frills hunting rifle and go with a Ruger American or Savage 110 in .308. Remington's advantage these days is the amount of aftermarket shit for them.

You forget that Null spends most of his cash just running this site, why recommend a Colt when he can get something that works just fine for close to half that price? S&W MP15 typically run around $500-$600. They're great budget rifles and I've never had an issue with mine or any friends/acquaintances that own one either.

Also, another vote for the opinion of Club Sandwich and Particle Bored.

Yea but keep in mind that shit gets very overwhelming very quickly for newbies. I see a lot of suggestions on people's personal preferences and not a lot of stuff geared towards helping someone new to this.

 

[Jewthulhu]

I haven't really checked ammo prices recently but 9mm is one of the calibers hit hardest by panic buying and anything that isn't marked up %300 disappears instantly whenever political things happen. 10mm being a less common cartridge to begin with doesn't seem to suffer that curse with anywhere near the severity of 9mm, and it's muzzle energy is very close to .45. Consider a colt delta elite, or a glock model 40 if you don't want to spend $2000.

Did a quick search. 9mm is about 40 cents per round while 10mm and 45 ACP are about 60.

I'm not an expert on guns (at least as far as saying which one is the best one to buy), but I will say Glocks are pretty common and are known for being fairly reliable. I also don't see an issue with getting a 1911 along side something more practical for concealed carry if you're getting 2 pistols.
I'd also recommend that, whatever AR you get, look for one chambered in 5.56. 5.56 ARs are nice as it gives you options while ammo shopping, as they can handle .223 as well. I'd also recommend getting some sort of optic for the AR.

Beretta 92

Unless you are deadset on a Die Hard larp it is generally recommended that a person's first handgun be a polymer framed, striker fired 9mm and not an Aluminum framed DA/SA like a Beretta 92. There are a variety of reasons for this but chief among them being aftermarket support and trigger pull consistency. The most popular polymer framed striker fired 9mms are in no particular order
-Glock 19
-S&W M&P 2.0
-Sig Sauer P320
Guns from other brands such as CZ, HK etc are also good but face issues when it comes to the availability and price of magazines/parts.
There is also a relatively new trend of Microcompact guns which are smaller that compacts but have higher capacities than singlestack subcompacts like the Glock 48/43X, Sig P365/365XL, M&P Shield Plus etc
For ARs you certainly get what you pay for but the functional quality gap is not as big as some would make it out to be. A $549 PSA will poke holes just like a $3000 KAC will, The KAC will just have better QC and be more durable on account of proprietary bolt technology.
Finally the only functional difference between a Remington and a Mossberg is the location and style of the safety

Exactly. Null isn't going to be putting a Remington in a chassis and testing bolt knobs. He needs a rifle to shoot a deer at 100yds or less. PLus the $200 you don't spend on the Rem goes towards a scope.

Also, buy holsters and slings for your guns. Don't be that guy.

Please don't recommend people PSAs unironically, and in the same sentence as KAC. Don't even recommend KAC for civilians, they do not honor their accuracy claims for civilian users. PSAs have a ton of a problems, not the least being that they're over torqued pieces of shit. If he just wanted a plinking rifle sure, waste your money on one but he also said he wanted a self defense one and those are not reliable in the least. The only person who thinks a PSA rifle is good enough to trust your life to is the person that fires maybe 50 rounds a year out of one.

 

[Rent Tin]

No reason to buy a PSA when a M&P15 is almost the same price.

 

[Baked Al-Aqsa]

you have about 70 years worth of remingtons in circulation. You can buy one used and it'll function beautifully, do everything you need it to do, and with great accuracy.

Remington's advantage these days is the amount of aftermarket shit for them.

Precisely.

You forget that Null spends most of his cash just running this site, why recommend a Colt when he can get something that works just fine for close to half that price? S&W MP15 typically run around $500-$600. They're great budget rifles and I've never had an issue with mine or any friends/acquaintances that own one either.

Multiple times a year around where I live I see 6920s going for $800-$900. That's not much more. Don't get me wrong, MP15s are decent, but for someone who's going to only own one AR I'd recommend a Colt.

Yea but keep in mind that shit gets very overwhelming very quickly for newbies. I see a lot of suggestions on people's personal preferences and not a lot of stuff geared towards helping someone new to this.

This. I wrote a noob list. The intricacies and minutia between brands isn't worth getting into, especially when said noob is a weird autist running a retard forum.

All of these are good choices although I would recommend the a GLOCK 17/19 or sig p320 for a full size pistol.

I haven't really checked ammo prices recently but 9mm is one of the calibers hit hardest by panic buying and anything that isn't marked up %300 disappears instantly whenever political things happen. 10mm being a less common cartridge to begin with doesn't seem to suffer that curse with anywhere near the severity of 9mm, and it's muzzle energy is very close to .45. Consider a colt delta elite, or a glock model 40 if you don't want to spend $2000.

All your major calibers are coming back in stock. 9mm is the most common handgun ammo and 5.56/.223 are the most common pistol/rifle calibers in the US. This plus them being the current military calibers means they are very easy to get ammo for.

Assuming you are in the US I would recommend going to a range and renting some of the 9mm pistols recommended here or anything by Smith and Wesson GLOCK or Sig. Try some of them and see what works best for you.

 

[break these cuffs]

you have about 70 years worth of rememingtons in circulation. You can buy one used and it'll function beautifully, do everything you need it to do, and with great accuracy.

If you get one of the safety recall ones that wasn't serviced it might even function beautifully even when you don't want it to!

As someone whose first pewpew is a Glock 17, and has an S&W Shield for concealed carry, I say it comes down to personal preference.

I agree, a Glock is a fine first pistol, but what if you don't like polymer frames? IMO, having a heavier metal frame makes recoil more manageable. I also think the Glock's handle is chunky. And by its very nature, a striker-fired pistol will often have a "squishy" trigger pull.

For comparison, I like my CZ75B better. But that's just me. YMMV.

As my profile's namesake says, "the only person who can decide which gun is best for you, is you".

 

[AGPinochet]

By whom?

It seems to be the general consensus among Firearm Instructors and other professionals who offer an opinion from what I have seen. There is also the fact that due to several reasons, Polymer framed, Striker fired 9mm's have become the go to handgun for many LE and Mil. Organizations some of whom previously had DA/SA guns.

Null should come through and ask questions more often this is funny.

I'm not sure what your budget is for the AR-15, but some reputable brands that you (Probably) won't have any problems with are Aero, BCM, Daniel Defense, Radian, PWS, KAC, ADM, Larue, Geissele, Neveske, Colt, FN. If anyone tells you to buy a PSA AR-15, tell them to go fuck their Mother.

For Pistols. If you're going to be conceal carrying then I would sway towards 9mm and then if you want the .45 for a nightstand gun. I'm a big fan of Beretta and have a M9A3 as my main squeeze, but Glock, Sig, Colt, FN, CZ, S&W, and Walther all make fairly decent pistols. A basic Bitch Glock 19 will probably do everything you want it to do; Conceal Carry, Home defense, ghetto blasting, etc. If you have more refined taste, go for the Beretta.

A Mossberg 590 is perfectly fine, but if you have any plans on hunting or shooting clays then you might want to look into an auto-loading shotgun. Browning and Benelli make good ones.

There is also the fact that due to several reasons, Polymer framed, Striker fired 9mm's have become the go to handgun for many LE and Mil. Organizations some of whom previously had DA/SA guns.

The issue with instructors is that they know how to train people on striker fired faster than other systems, so they recommend people get striker fired, and now the classes are streamlined because they don't have to teach a class full of revolvers, Berettas, 1911s, Sigs and Glocks which all work differently. Or H&Ks with their 10 different trigger configurations for the USP. With people giving instruction over the internet it's even more complicated to stray away from the basic bitch polymer striker fired advice.
The fact is that polymer frames are cheaper to manufacture, and most people in the military and police will not shoot pistols outside of qualifications so they need a trigger for the 90% of simpletons who couldn't be bothered to dry fire once a month to retain their skills. There's very valid reasons for the market to converge toward the current meta but I don't think it's a rule set in stone.

I can't believe nobody told him to get a tiger stripe Deagle like Commander Stryker.

Between people trying to give him actual advice, retards who only know what /k/ tells them, and people who only get their opinions from Youtube, this was bound to go wrong from the start.
Still waiting for someone to recommend him a Mosin or .30-06.
