hello adikted. usually, the size of a 22lr magazine is around 10 rounds, both for rifles and pistols. after market magazines from buttercreek for the ruger 10/22 rifle pushes this to about 30 with their banan-type magazine. pistols are stuck at 10 unless you can have one manufactured.

 

there is one pistol, however, that was just unveiled that has more than 10 rounds. this new gun has 30! and its in 22Magnum! this new weapon is the Kel-Tec PMR30. i am attaching a pic below. did not see it during the gun show, but a friend of mine is planning to get distribution rights for Kel-Tec firearms, so will let you guys know soon.

have a competent gunsmith modify your trigger pull..that should do the trick

mga bossing, pasensiya na bago lang ako dito pero matagal tagal na rin ako sa larangan ng pagpuputok. I fired my friend's glock pistol and its lightweight and good to fire. However, narinig ko na bihira if not wala ng nagbebenta ng glock pistol sa market. May I know the reason po bakit? Interested kasi ako bumili nung glock lalo na .40 cal pistols. Thanks mga bossing

Sir ironman007, i am afraid glocks are currently only being sold to law enforcement and military personnel. i am afraid the previous distributor was unscrupulous enough to sell the serial numbers of the firearms sold to him to other shady people. the end result is the philippines is on a watch list for glocks. you can only buy glocks second hand nowadays.

 

if you are still looking for something similar to glocks, you can check out the HS2000/ Springfield XDm (virtually same gun), and the S&W P&M.

that's the infamous "taiwan incident".. several drug traffickers were apprehended in taiwan carrying Glocks. upon checking of the serial numbers, it was learned that those Glocks came from the philippines. hence, the banning of exportation of Glock Austria to the philippines.

 

there are 2 gunstores that i know na nagpaparating ng Glocks dito sa atin..although Glock USA ito, marami pa ring kumukuha..as far as i know very limited lang ang stocks nila.

@sir ray004, i'm afraid kahit yung glocks you mentioned, pa-puslit rin ang mga iyan. we need a new distributor! same goes for bushmaster.....

Salamat sir miggy and sir ray for the info's. May I ask lang kung ung versatility ba ng HS kasingganda rin ba ng glock or much better sa glock? Thanks

due to glock's popularity, several leading gun manufacturers' (springfield, smith & wesson, taurus just to name a few) followed suite. there are different opinions when comparing these guns to glock. some are good and some are not so good. some of these are considered already at par with glock when it comes to reliability according to some veteran shooters..glock itself has its own flaws (noting the "glock kaboom" incidences being circulated in the net).

 

i am not a fan of these so called "tupperware pistols". but if i were to choose among these plastic pistols, i'll go for the originator of the polymer gun..the glock!

Hello sa mga gun experts here...

 

baguhan lang ako sa larangan ng pagpapaputok

 

three times pa lang ako nakahawak at nakapagpaputok and that was during nasa legaspi ako na tinuturuan ng friend ko na pulis

 

ang service firearm pa niya ay Armscor .45

 

medyo natuwa pa nga ako at tuluyan na yatang nagkaroon ng hilig na matuto sa pamamaril dahil noong 3 beses akong nagpaputok ay puro "alpha" daw ang mga tinamaan

 

so ito ang mga tanong ko:

 

1) for a beginner, ano ba ang dapat mauna - magkaroon muna ng knowledge sa tamang pag handle ng baril or bumili muna ng baril?

 

2) what is recommended as the first gun? yung puwedeng pag praktisan... a .45 pistol or a 9mm pistol?

 

3) i have been reading lots of good news about S&W version of the 1911...mas mura ba ito sa Colt or parehas lang ang price or masyado lang akong nagpapadala sa hype?

 

4) ano ang preferred gun ng mga left handed shooters?

 

5) for a budget of 50K, ano ang brand and klase ng gun ang puwedeng mabili?

 

thanks for the helpful information and guidance
