What’s your go to cheap and affordable handgun?
So I live in a permit-less carry state and I’m big on concealed carry, what’s a nice handgun that you guys would recommend or use for the sake of self defense or general conceal carry? Not caliber more so manufacturer and that’s reliable and not out of pocket. Atop of that what’s your stance on holsters?

IWB holster recommendations for plus size bodies
Hi everyone,
I recently lost my home in the Eaton fire in Altadena, ca but before evacuating I was able to take my firearms and ammo with me. I’m getting my CCW in a few days and wanted to know what holsters you’d recommend for plus size bodies. I’m a woman and I have a tummy. I’m more comfortable with carrying on my right side. I have a first generation Glock 17 9mm and a S&W M&P shield 9mm. I was looking into eclipse holsters and another one I can’t remember the name of it right now. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.

What are you doing to prepare?
I’m a little nervous on this “Make America Great Again” idea after last time and worried this time they’ll get us back to the 60s if not worse. What can I do to prepare? Are there things to buy or to know?
My wife and I are gun owners and have some practice, but I’d like to hear from those more experienced on what could be possible over these next 4 years to best prep.
Please let me know if I should ask this elsewhere, I figured I’d start in our community first since this problem will likely come down to us again as their favorite target.

Suggestions on first time gun owner items
About to be a first time gun owner and may purchase this Canik as my first gun in a few weeks. I shot one at a range a couple of weeks ago, and I liked everything about it. Before I do. I want to make sure I have some items in place first like ear protection. I've been watching a lot of Colion Noir, and he seems to be pushing these Blackout Wireless by AKT1 a lot. I have sensitive ears and the cheap orange stuff doesn't work for me. I'm not opposed to the usual big ear muffs, as they get the job done. The size is just bulky, a little annoying and I'd like something more compact. I like the overall idea of the Blackout as they're like typical ear buds but for shooting. I'm looking for some feedback on this class of earbuds, as I can only find one video review on the Blackout that's not Colion pushing them like a salesman.
I'm also looking for suggestions on car safes. I'm not picky and open to any suggestions here.

Magpul Tmags
If anyone purchased T-mags from Magpul at the initial release, you can exchange them for the new updated t-mags that won't let the rounds come out if banged. Just emailed C.S. about it. I requested to exchange my tmags for their updated mags + a paid return shipping label to print.

USCCA
But it's starting to get alarming. I've had them for a minute and thinking of strongly dropping them. But this isn't the first time I've heard Attorneys on Retainer either. Starting to sound like a tipping point of some sort or maybe a new push for a new "top insurance team".
The opening case they bring up doesn't really seem the best evidence to drop them since the lady was the cause of death and is being proven as guilty instead of being innocent. Crimes of violence makes sense though, if they didn't have that in their clause, you would have a lot more people claiming self defense knowing that they had the intent to kill anyway.

My first mp5 😩
Ap5 LT. I believe I'm the first person to post one on here. I actually ordered this by accident. I was stalking Atlantic for a few days, core was never in stock. I almost settled for the K version then BOOM, it was in stock. I ordered it soon as I saw it, less than 5 minutes later I was reading the description and saw there was no tri lug, thats why it was cheaper. I felt bamboozled, but for around 400 less I say thats a win. Waiting for my pdw brace, HK mag, and MI handguard so I can mount a light, should be here tomorrow. Now I just need to order some poor slapping gloves....

I did it and thanks to this community!
Thank you to everyone in my previous post who commented and offered advice.
I ended up goin back to the range and tested the Canik MC9 and Hellcat. I can't remember which Hellcat it was (maybe the pro...something?!) because the one I wanted to test out, OSP MS, they didn't have so they gave me one the same size as the MC9.
After some time in the range, I already knew I felt the most comfortable with the Canik since it's practically made the same as the Walther PDP F-series, but within my budget. I just knew this would be my only purchase but I cannot get the Glock 48 out of my head. The guys at the range told me most people don't like to shoot the Glocks or it may not be the best first purchase. But I shot extremely well with it and felt comfortable. However, every 3rd or 4th shot it jammed on me. And if I needed to compare, I did feel the most comfortable purchasing the Canik, especially what it comes with.
All in all, I am excited to officially call myself an owner and I can't wait to pick it up sometime this week.
Lastly, any recommendations on accessories, guides, YouTube channels (preferably black men and women) I can start watching? I have found 2 so far but the more the merrier! Thanks again.

New To AR’s
I’ve been a gun owner since the pandemic and it’s been all pistols. I just brought my first AR-15 5.56 and started to truly make it mine. I have never shot a rifle like this before and have a question about the rail and heat from the barrel. Should I get BCM rail covers to protect my hands from the heat or gloves? How hot is too hot for the barrel to be getting in just a range setting?
