You're urban. Stick with a commonly available carbine round. 7.62 x 39 or 5.56 mm. You will find an assortment of rifles out there chambered in those rounds from hunting rifles through really expensive specialty carbines.
Don't bother with the 9mm. If your hands can handle it go with a .45. If not try the .40 or the 10mm. Yes, you can get decent performance out of a nine with the right ammo, you get better performance out of a .45 even with basic jacketed cheap ammo. If you're actually doing this than take a class, and shoot. Shoot a lot. In talking about draw and fire and rifle to pistol transition scenarios with a friend recently he said it takes something like 12000 or 120000 repetitions of an action, the right way, to make it muscle memory. Learn your zero, take safety seriously, and have fun. There are a bunch of ranges on L.I. and upstate that will allow long guns, and some across the city that will allow pistols. Good luck with the licensing requirements in NY. It's an expensive hobby, even more so where you live. > -----Original Message----- > From: Sam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 11:18 AM > To: cf-community > Subject: Re: has anyone checked on Sam? > > A rife, and a nine.
