Guns: A Necessity in Today's Society?

Krinkov:

Krinkov pala tawag dito, or the famous "oishi"? My dad has this in one of his cars, tinatanong ko siya kung may kaaway siya, eh wala naman talaga siyang kaaway.

I think a flare gun is considered as emergency or survival equipment.

so much better pala na flare gun na lang ang gamitin sa magnanakaw, no license required at pwede mo pa dalhin outside your residence

It is actually called AK-74U. It is nicknamed "Krinkov" meaning "bitch" in Russian.

My grandfather had a handgun. Grandmother surrendered it during Martial Law. :doh:

Those are huge guns to keep in a car.

What is the difference between a 9mm and 45 gun? Which is a better gun for a newbie owner?

9mm(.39) is much easier to shoot. The .45 calibre has more knock down power. .40 is the middle of the road.

Typically, with a 9mm you would be able to carry more ammunition. If you want even less recoil, there's .380 and .22.

The thing is, knock down power is useless if you can't place your shots on the target. .380 and .22 in most cases are sufficient. In fact, they are much easier to conceal due to their size.

For the .380 and .22, you're looking at "James Bond handguns": Walther, Bersa, CZ 83...

Which bullet goes through a person's body? And which one can really stop a person when shot?

All of the above can incapacitate a person. Typically, you don't want the bullet to go through but instead transfer all of its energy on the target for the "knock down".

Chezka and Bersy


the chrome plated pistol is a CZ75B caliber.40sw da/sa pistol using the browning action principle (barrel tips down when a round is fired unlocking the slide). it originally was purchased in blued finish and came with a 10 round magazine (10+1 in chamber for a total of 11 rounds). I had it chrome plated (it had begun to rust) and changed the magazines to 12 round capacity, so it is now a 12+1 pistol. it is factory fitted with a 316 stainless steel barrel rated for +P rounds. safeties include a firing pin block (weapon will not fire even if you drop it hammer first) and manual safety. the manual safety can not be activated when the hammer is in the uncocked or half-cocked position making the pistol in an always ready mode if uncocked or half-cocked (which i prefer). i have replaced the hammer spring and the trigger pull is now at 5 pounds (original was 8 pounds). i have fired probably close to 4000 rounds with this pistol. i used to be able to put all 12 rounds right in the center when i was still a regular at the range. i can still hit all 12 falling plates at 12 meters distance (8 inch diameter plates) with 12 rounds in quick succession last time i was at the range with my glasses on (yeah, age has caught up with my eyesight). future planned mod is to upgrade the sights to tritium sights but i have not yet found a dealer with tritium sights for the cz in .40sw. i forgot, i recently replaced the grips to hogue grips (not shown in this picture).

the smaller blued finish pistol is a bersa thunder .380acp da/sa with adjustable rear sights, decocker lever safety and a 15+1 magazine. it is a blow-back operated pistol (the slide is functioned by the expanding gases when a round is fired). the trigger in double action mode (hammer uncocked or half-cocked) has a bit long trigger travel but quite light, approximately 7 pounds trigger pull. on single action trigger mode the trigger pull is below 5 pounds. i have fired only close to 500 rounds with this pistol (ammo hard to come by at the range for a .380acp pistol) but i am quite confident with it. it has very minimal recoil due to it using a .380acp round and also because it operates on blow back. i made my smallest shot group with this pistol, a 1/2" 5 shot group at 15 meters on a bench. my wife also prefers this over the CZ.

i was born in a family of gun enthusiasts. from great grand dad, great grand uncles down the family tree.. pati mga kids ko ngayon mahilig sa bengbeng.
unfortunately, the new gun law is so prohibitive for not so rich and not so powerful people to legally own a gun.

this is the exact hogue grips i have now on the CZ.
