Want to buy a decent .40 .45ACP doesnt have to be the prettiest but the nicer the better. I have $400 cash to spend let me know whats out there and dont worry I dont haggle price tell me what youll give for $400 and well leave it at that.
Also any caliber at all in O/D Green is wanted.

The one we have isn't going anywhere, but I suggest you look around for a Rock Island Armory (RIA) 1911. We recently paid $375 + tax for one. Solid gun.

.25 Raven. Sorry I dont think I could embarass myself like that. If I need to protect myself I dont just want to make the guy mad but if my friends newborn needs protection ill let her know.

My wife's son also experienced the hammer bite problem. Hasn't affected either my wife or me, but Collin is taller than either of us and pretty solidly built.
