What brand of pistol for Reliable Target Use?

I checked J&G's website and they have Wolf .45 ammo listed at $99 for 500 rounds. Am I missing something or was that a typo?

Steel case, lacquer-coated ammo is NOT recommended... the case material has very little tolerance for chamber variations, and the varnish does NASTY things to chambers... that said, if you're willing to get your barrel SPOTLESS after every session with the Wolf ammo...go for it!!

Check www.ammoman.com for some good prices... including .303 British for the other poster...

Ok I see alot of people are choosing the SIg. Owners want to explain what so good about them?

Sigs are very accurate, have a nice trigger, last forever, and just a damned peasure to shoot, besides the fact it is a first shot weapon(no safety to contend with).

Unless you want to compete or shoot bowling pins, 9mm or less and whatever is cheap, feels good in your hand, and easy to clean at the gun show. I'd probably look for a used Glock.

Ya i know whatever i end up getting with have to be used b/c new is just to expensive right now. I can't justify 800-1000 bucks if its just a range plinking/home security weapon

Quality, price, and the way it feels in hand. Plus a Sig points almost as nicely as a 1911.
9mm are cheaper to shoot, recoil less, and generally have a larger capacity. A .40 and, my favorite, a .45, push a bullet that weighs up to twice that of a 9mm and leaves a much larger wound channel. Being a relatively low velocity family of firearm pistol projectiles stop (kill) by blood loss (unless major damage to the central nervous system occurs). Virtually any situation a handgun may be called upon for defense will be over in seconds and more than 6-7 shot capacity would never be used. The situation most likely will also not allow a carefully aimed shot, but rather a point-pull type shot at center of mass, a situation where bigger is always better.
When trying different guns, try this (with the cooperation of the rangemaster, of course). Tape a white target app. 12" square onto the target frame. Cover the gun sights with black tape. At a range of 20 to 25 feet, have the rangemaster turn off all the lights and shine a small flashlight on the target. By just pointing your firearm at the target, squeeze off 3 or 4 shots. This is a good way to find how well a particular gun points for you. Each person will find they have a certain grip angle that points best for them.
But hey!

Wow very well said! I dought the rangemaster here would let me turn all the lights off. lol but i could put some gaffers tape on the sights in normal conditions to get as close to that test as i can.
