CA gun and ammo laws are retarded, I'm glad I moved out lol.

If you truly wanna go the cheap route

S&W 9mm 5906

can find used ones in decent condition for 300-400

they are reliable, and will do the job

So, I got offered a security job and need a gun. Problem is, I have no idea what's a good deal and what's not, or what's a good brand. I'm looking for a semi-automatic 9mm with no more than a 10 capacity magazine. Hallow point bullets are a must since I need as much stopping power as I can get and the hallow points don't penetrate the target as much as regular shells.

Hallowed be thy bullet?

Anyway, guns are for sissies. Buy rabid ferrets.

1911's have always been a great design, hence it being around for 101 years. Though some folks find the grip of a single stack to be a little thin, but if it feels right to you then that would be a fantastic choice. Colt puts out a great product so you should have the gun for at least your lifetime, minus swapping out some springs after a while. Learn the maintenance schedule in the manual!

This is truth. I have a vast gun collection, but I recently got my 1st 1911 a few months back. I had a thread open about it, and got alot of feedback.

It was most certainly not cheap, but I have a Rock Island Armory 1911, and it is easily one of the best handguns I've ever owned. Reliable, never jams, accurate as can be, and just flat out looks like a motherfucking beast.

But good luck finding one in your price range -.-;;

Do you know if they make double action model? Might try this one out if it's been around for so long.

Seriously creeps me out to see people talking so nonchalantly about things designed purely to kill people. But hey, I guess that's Americans and ridiculous gun craziness for you.

DA 1911s are confirmed for terrible. Carrying in condition one is all you need unless your job has rules on carry conditions.

And know that 1911s is a solid metal platform and weighs quite a bit more than the polymer Glock. Some people like the extra weight for reducing recoil, some people hate the shit out of it because it can feel sluggish drawing to a target.

For your price range you're not going to get a particularly good 1911, most likely something like Paraordinance, RIA, or Taurus. Not to say those manufacturers are bad (My Taurus 1911 performs nearly as well as my Nighthawk), but generally the better models start at 1k with the high end customs at around 5k.

Finally, picatinny rails on a 1911 are just tacky as fuck. They are not some AR-15 that needs a foregrip, bayonet, M203, and a variable zoom scope to function.

Edit: My semi-large gun collection needs a Mauser K98k. Matching bolt and receiver. 75% or better on barrel. Stock isn't modified/sporterized/ruined. For 500 bucks or less. Go.

Knives - useful for chopping things up in the kitchen. What function does a semi-automatic pistol perform other than killing/wounding people, or threatening to do the same? I don't get your point.

Knives were first used by cavemen for chopping scallions for their souffle's.

You realize that the first and primary use of guns by 75% or more of gun owners in the US is for sport/hobby, not killing or wounding, right? Enough shitting up this thread, there is a political forum for that kind of shit. He needs recommendations for a gun for his job, which means it'll be used for protection.

I'm looking to grab a CZ75 within the next month or two. I would get a glock, but I have read a lot of rave reviews about how great the CZ is and how accurate and wonderful it is for the price. You can't go wrong with a lot of weapons mentioned here.
