@g17 i feel your frustration. I would bring the gun to the smith anyway. Who'll know. @ boysaint everybody's welcome. @looney if you are a beginner i would suggest that you get a revolver since there are fewer things that can go wrong since its manual of arms is simpler. Get something at least in .38 cal so it would have stopping power. Taurus makes great revolvers in the 11 to 18 thousand pesos range. Be sure your wife also practices with it so it won't be a liability if the need arises

Taurus is good brand since they use dies used by smith and wesson and Beretta before they booted them out of brazil. There are cheaper guns in 9mm by cz,feg, tanfoglio and others but can't vouch for them since i haven't tried them out since i'm partial to larger calibers, but some of my shooting buddies love them especially the cz75. Since you can handle a .45 the norinco 1911A1 is an accurate, durable and reliable alternative. Cheaper too at less than 15 T. Just make sure you get the genuine article.

i've asked this before, but never happened yet... but this time, now that there's this thread.... will there be an EB in a shooting range? |

Not a bad idea but judging from the responses there are very few of us and we're spread far apart:-)

and i forgot, sorry.... not everyone had their PTC and PTT again. so i guess no EB at the shooting range. unless we go there without these toys of ours, and just talk and show each other's licenses and/or pictures.
(only holduppers can bring their guns without PTC now, right?) |

PTT is easy enough it's the the PTC that's really hard to get. Here in Batangas almost everyone still carry their guns, even long arms at that, since enforcement is hard to accomplish and everyone knows everybody. To hell with the ptc, as we love to say. Its better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it when the need arises.;-)

that's right! very true.
i just hope the 'antis' will realize that (better to have one and not need...) and stop bothering us. here in metro manila the situation may be different.... the police will rather go after licensed guns brought out, than the unlicensed ones used by the bad guys. |

Their ineptness is showing. They try to control us licensed gun owners because that's the only thing they can control:-D the idea of deterrence escapes them. Not realizing that criminal elements will be emboldened knowing that we can't fight back. Stupid people!!!

doctabako,
<"They try to control us licensed gun owners because that's the only thing they can control:-D the idea of deterrence escapes them. Not realizing that criminal elements will be emboldened knowing that we can't fight back.">
what i can't understand is that why they (the supposed 'authorities', and the 'antis') seem to not be aware of that! they should be the experts in that issue! haven't the fact dawned on their brains yet that banning guns from law-abiding citizens mean disarming the meek and, yes... emboldening criminals, knowing that we are defenseles!
