9MM Pistol

GrabAGun.com has the 9mm pistol that you are looking for. From the concealable small 9mm pistol, a large variety of the best subcompact 9 mm pistols, to full size and fine quality 9 mm pistols we are sure to have the 9 mm handgun you are looking for. We carry top 9mm pistol brands including Glock, Ruger, Kimber, Sig Sauer, Smith and Wesson, and many more. 

With the best prices in the market, we go a step further by locating the firearm you are looking for, even if we don’t carry in our inventory.

In the last few years, gun manufacturers have stepped up the production of small 9mm pistols. The 9 mm pistol is popular, for the reasons of being the most preferred of concealed carry pistols, and for the attributes of the 9 mm cartridge itself among experts as well as citizens.

The new and improved 9mm ammunition produces noticeably reduced recoil providing a more effective handgun. Even so, the 9mm still packs a kick, and as with all compact pistols, the kick is worse. Control may be difficult to attain, especially for first time shooters. If you are a novice to the 9mm pistol, whether compact or full size, your best option is to shoot one before buying it. Not that it kicks like a mule as some pistols do, but it does have significantly more recoil than smaller calibers.

The old saying is that a 9 mm is as small as you would want to go in a compact and still be able to place a kill shot. That statement is made by experienced shooters. Experienced shooters become that way by target practice and thousands of rounds. Attaining accuracy with a larger caliber weapon is attainable, with lots of practice, and routine practice to keep the hand muscles finely tuned.

The 9mm pistol is extremely popular and with good reason. It is a very dependable as well as accurate weapon in almost any brand. Gun accessories such as laser sights are available for the 9mm, a definite aid for inexperienced shooters. That said the key to a successful self-defense using a 9mm, or any other handgun, is the shooters accuracy. This requires practice and more practice and is the 2nd only to having a self-defense weapon itself.

Online Gun Dealers

Buying guns through online gun dealers can be a great way to obtain the exact gun you are looking for and allows you to save money. It is perfectly legal to buy guns online. However, online gun dealers cannot ship a firearm directly to you, the law requires that any firearm you purchase be shipped to an FFL dealer.

An FFL dealer can legally receive and transfer the firearm to you. Once your gun arrives at the FFL dealer’s location, you will go in for the FFL dealer to complete your background check, and you will pick it up at the FFL dealer’s location. It is standard for the FFL dealer to charge you a transfer fee, generally around $25. This fee is your responsibility.

Any reputable online gun store will help you to find an FFL dealer in your area. GrabAGun provides a FFL Locator tab for you to locate an FFL dealer nearest to your area. It is recommended that you contact them for the amount of the transfer fee they will charge.

Ordering online generally provides a much larger “showroom” to shop from. Most Gun Shops simply don’t have the space to display a large amount of guns, accessories, parts and supplies. Many online gun dealers typically use secure warehouses, and therefore have considerably more space to house inventory which they then showcase it on their website.

GrabAGun receives shipments of guns for sale every day, if you find an item you wish to order is out of stock, simply click on the wish list and we will notify you when it is available. For your convenience we offer layaway service as well as a gun financing with our Shoot Now, Pay Later program.

Online Gun Sales

There is no record for how many guns are sold each year in the U. S., though it is possible to track how many NICS (National Institute Criminal Background Check System) applications for the purchase of a firearm have been processed, but as for data regarding the number of guns sold with or without background checks, it simply does not exist.

How Online Gun Sales Stats Were Found

For 2012 there were 16,808,538 applications submitted by the end of November. Records have been kept since 1998 allowing some facts to be observed based on the data. Approximately 44% of all applications are for long guns such as rifles. Kentucky has the highest number of applications, while Rhode Island had the least among the lower 48 states.

There were 976,255 denials processed through the system for the 2012 data. Convicted offenders account for approximately 59% of all denials in the system.

Gun control advocates like to manipulate the facts. Of the 16 plus million applications processed by the NICS the exact number that proceeded to an actual purchase is not known, there is no accurate record of purchases, period. Any statement made of the number of guns sold in the U. S. can at best be an estimate. If stated as a fact you are viewing a direct attempt to manipulate the public.

Recently you hear a lot about the 40% who are buying privately and in online gun sales without a background check. This is a misleading statement based on a 19 year old study that was never an accurate reflection.

The 40% being quoted is completely false and shows just how manipulative gun control advocates are. The so called data they base their statements upon is like considering the data a preschooler would gather on the number of non-indigenous invasive species in a foreign country.

The frail basis of a claim for the 40% comes from a 1997 National Institute of Justice study by researchers Philip Cook of Duke University and Jens Ludwig of the University of Chicago. This study examined data from a 1994 telephone survey on gun ownership taken months after the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 took effect. The Brady Act mandated background checks of individuals buying guns at gun shops.

In this survey 2,568 homes were surveyed with questions regarding gun ownership, including how many guns were in the house, what they were used for, how they were stored and where the owner obtained them.

Of the 2,568 households surveyed, only 251 people answered the question of where the owner obtained the gun. Of the approximate 10% who answered this question 35.7% reported obtaining their gun from someone other than a licensed dealer. This is the source of the infamous 40% and includes guns that were gifts, inherited or won whose source of purchase was unknown by the receiver.

Another problem with this survey is that it was taken in late 1994; months after the Brady Act went into effect. The questions asked were regarding gun purchases that had been made in the previous two years. This means some of the gun purchases occurred prior to the Brady Act going into effect.

The 40% statistic is outdated, inaccurate for the time then, and certainly not an accurate reflection of today’s firearm transactions without background checks.

There simply is no method of accurately assessing guns actually sold requiring a background check, much less tracking gun transactions without background checks.

Let’s be clear upon some other inaccurate claims by anti-gunners. Some states do require background checks be performed by individuals selling a firearm privately. Some individuals require a background check even if not required by their state, and it is federal law that online gun sales by online gun dealers require a background check by a FFL provider.

A citizen would be wise to investigate the facts before believing them. The American people have never been so mislead as is now occurring by elected officials as well as those activists with their own deceptive agenda’s that are dividing our nation.

Assault Rifles for Sale

With all the talk of gun control and potential weapons bans, assault rifles have become a hot ticket item fast. Firearms such as the AR-15 assault rifle and the AK-47 are flying off the shelves like never before. With the availability of assault rifles that are loaded up on the tactical equipment from the factory in short supply in many areas, the versatility of the assault rifle becomes an even more important factor in its purchase.

The AR-15 is the civilian version of the M16 and M4 family of guns used by the military. They are popular for tactical and home defense weapons in part due to their versatility. The AR-15 is but one fine example of available assault rifles for sale.

The versatility of assault rifles is due to it being easily customized. Assault weapons can be outfitted with lights, lasers, optics, rails, grips, stocks, barrels, gas systems and more depending on the model. Another bonus is that most models are not difficult to customize. Being able to build your own custom assault rifle is a decided plus when factory equipped models is in short supply.

A good example of the versatility of assault rifles is with the use of two different upper receivers providing two different guns from one. For example, an 18-20” barrel is generally used for mid and long range shooting, while a 10.5” barrel is used for close spaces such as urban terrain and room entry tactics used in hostage situations or for room clearing. The versatile assault rifle allows you to have both by swapping out the upper receiver for the application at hand.

The broad availability of assault rifle components, including AR-15 accessories and AR-15 parts makes customizing almost any assault rifle a job almost anyone can perform.

Another factor to be considered with assault rifles is to purchase military specification rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO. They will accept the cheaper .223 ammo, whereas the commercial rifles will only accept the cheaper .223 and are will not tolerate the high pressure of the 5.56 NATO. This is because the military specifications rifle is built to military specifications and is of superior manufacturing. It will outlast, as well as outperform the commercial versions.

Non-Lethal Self Defense: Taser Gun

There are many times when people need a form of self defense. Law enforcement, especially police officers, have a real use for an electroshock weapon called a taser gun. They’re non-lethal weapons that us an electrical current to subdue a person who is dangerous and a threat to harm another. The electrical current disrupts voluntary control of muscles causing neuromuscular incapacitation. They are an especially useful tool when you need to keep space for safety. Pepper spray, batons, or hand-to-hand combat require a smaller distance and can be too close for comfort.

Taser guns fire two dart-like electrodes that are pointed and barbed so they can penetrate heavy clothing and be difficult to remove. The darts are expelled by a compressed nitrogen cartridge and stay connected to the person until they are removed. These cartridges are replaced in the taser gun after each use.

Some taser models have another capability called “drive stun.” This is when the taser gun is held against the person without firing the electrodes. Drive stun is not meant for muscle incapacitation; rather it’s used mainly for pain compliance. It can be used without the air cartridge in place or after an air cartridge has been deployed. Pain is felt specifically at the point of contact but does not have a significant effect on the central nervous system. Drive stun can be helpful but some studies have shown that repeated use can enrage the target causing a more hostile situation.

Throughout the world, taser guns have a varied view for legality. In the US, self defense taser guns are not considered firearms by the government and can be legally carried, concealed or open, without a permit in 43 states including Texas. In some states they are legal with restrictions.

With the tenth anniversary of 9/11 past us it is only natural to think about the three thousand people that were murdered on that beautiful fall day in New York City.  And when you compound that horrible tragedy with all the other tragedies that have been perpetrated upon us by crazed gunman in our primary school systems, universities, malls, restaurants, churches, trains, military bases, etc., you begin to realize that the business of going about our daily lives in safety is, for all practical purposes, gone.  Yes, our day-to-day chores are still carried out in a carefree manner by millions of Americans, but they do so without any thought for their own self preservation or have the slightest desire to learn how to survive in a post 9/11 world.

There is no ultimate solution to surviving a crazed gunman spraying bullets from an AK-47 while you and your wife, just moments earlier, were blissfully enjoying breakfast at the local IHOP.  But if you have an interest in firearms, and especially if you have a CHL, you have just obligated yourself to seriously begin thinking about creating a survival mode of thinking—you do have a sense of self preservation. Don’t you?  I know I do. We are all going to leave this world someday, but we would all like to leave due to natural causes and not by lead poisoning.  On that, I’m sure, we can all agree upon.

In a post 9/11 world, carrying concealed is, for me, no longer an option but a duty to protect myself and my love ones from unwarranted harm.  It is a right that was granted to all of us by our Founding Fathers when they gave us the Second Amendment; they said: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Even though this was written in eighteenth century English and style, its meaning and intent is as clear to me as if it was written in today’s vernacular…We free Americans have, as stated above, an individual and inviolably right to arm ourselves when necessary in order to protect our country, our lives and our property.

For those of you who believe in concealed carry, I suggest you read the volumes of books that have been written on this subject to determine what you can and cannot do, especially as this pertains to the specific laws in the state that you carry in.  As for me, these are my convictions about concealed carry and a starting point for many of you to consider and build upon.

Conviction 1: CARRY CONCEALED.  It’s the law.  Know the law.  Let the law work for you.  Not against you. This is one of the primary rules to follow when you’re a CHL holder.  You have now obligated yourself to be knowledgeable about the law, not what you think the law should be under this or that circumstance. The onus of carry concealed is heavy; but not as heavy as being ignorant of the law.  This is one area were “hearsay” and “I though” can be life changing experience of the worst kind.

Conviction 2: Carry 24/7 if at all possible.  Become familiar with the extra weight on your person…the knowledge that your weapon is secure but quickly reachable if necessary.  But most importantly, never convince yourself that today is the day that I can go without my sidearm.  After all it’s a beautiful fall day…what can possibly happen?

Conviction # 3: Public Carry. Don’t carry a firearm in public if you are not mentally and physically prepared to use it should you find yourself center stage in your worst nightmare.

Conviction # 4: Carry an adequate firearm / caliber.  But let’s be practical about it.  If we knew we would be in a fire fight before day’s end, the 12 gauge shotgun would be my weapon of choice.  But since we don’t know how our day is going to end, a more useful sidearm would be in a caliber no smaller than a .380ACP.  But if smaller gun / caliber are absolutely the only choice that is open to you, than a .22 rim fire or .25 ACP is better than nothing.  You might consider backing up that small caliber gun with an adequate volume of pepper spray.

Conviction # 5: FIREARM FAMILIARITY breeds confidence. Train in every aspect with your concealed weapon: shooting with two hands, strong hand and weak hand; drawing from different holster positions, especially from the sitting position; and don’t forget to end every practice session by shooting the actual ammo that you intend to carry.  The recoil from a .38Sp. wad cutter is not the same as the recoil from a HP .357 Mag.

Conviction # 6: Use Common Sense.  If you have CHL you more than likely have the intelligence to use it and your weapon wisely.  I strongly advise you to acquire as much knowledge on this subject as possible as you literally carry the power of life and death. So being responsible is not an option.

What I have started here has not been finished.  It would be an understatement to say that I have just scratched the surface.  This topic is too important to let it go with just these comments.  We still haven’t touched upon specific firearms and their calibers, personal protection ammo, holsters and almost holsters, clothing, practical practicing, and the law (not a treatise on gun laws but just hitting on the big topics, such as: should I retrain a lawyer before I leave my house?)

The Virtues of the Semi-Auto Pistol

If you read my last piece: “The virtues of the Revolver,” you probably concluded that I am a revolver devotee and that I’ve barely gotten past the Colt SAA stage.  Unfortunately that would be an incorrect conclusion on your part as I was simply stating the obvious attributes of the revolver.  And yes, I do own and carry pistols.  And I, like so many of us who enjoy the shooting sports, do not limit ourselves to one type of firearm over the exclusion of others.  I enjoy shooting rifles, shotguns, revolvers and pistols. Each is appreciated for its uniqueness and its ability to do what each class was designed to do best.  It is for this reason that I don’t believe that one manufacturer/style/caliber is best for all.  One size fits all is a bad philosophy to preach, especially to the neophyte hand gunner.  Of course I am partial to one brand and action of semi-auto over all others (and it’s not the 1911…sorry bunko) but I don’t push my preferences upon others.  And that’s how it should be.

Please keep in mind that the following comments are of a general nature; that is, they might not agree with your experience or your particular semi-auto.  With that said, let me say that the biggest and most obvious virtue of the semi-auto is its ability to carry more ammo than the revolver but less than an AR15.  Still, more is definitely better than less. Whether you have a 7+1, 8+1, 15+1, 17+1, etc. shooter, its payload is superior to my J-frame or K frame or N frame revolver.  Yet I still do not feel under gunned when carrying my S&W Model 13 for reasons that I look forward to sharing with you at a later date.

I like the svelte lines of the semi-auto pistol.  Its bulbous free sides make it comfortable to carry if you have to carry without a holster.  If you consider safeties, slide releases, decockers, ambidextrous controls, lasers, flashlights, bayonets, and a SAM launcher, then the svelte lines begin to fade, but generally speaking not excessively.  But for me this is of little concern since my semi-autos go forth unadorned…and I like it like that. (But you should see my shotgun.  It does carry a SAM launcher…well, almost).

The trigger pull on most pistols are generally better than those found on revolvers.  They are lighter, smoother and have a shorter distance to travel than those found on revolvers.  Although most triggers on revolvers can be improved upon, generally speaking, the semi-auto has the edge in this category.

The sights found on the majority of semi-autos are good to excellent; but when compared to what?  When compared to your typical snub nose revolver, then the sights on pistols are superior, but when compared to the sights found on a target revolver, then “good” is as good as it gets.

Let’s keep in mind that comparisons are tricky if you don’t keep things equal and on the same playing field.  It’s an obvious statement but often overlooked when people compare one “something” against another “something” of a different stripe.  There are those that walk among us that feel perfectly justified in comparing the advantages of their high capacity pistol mounted with a LaserMax to a three hundred dollar Stevens Security Model bottom ejecting 12 gauge shotgun. Yes. But under what circumstances?  Yet the sad part about this is that these same people VOTE.

What do you feed your pistol?  I feed mine whatever it can digest without choking itself to death (and taking me along with it).  Is this a virtue?  Yes. Once you fine tune its diet it becomes very virtuous.  Even the revolver can’t digest a poorly made round.  All my pistols run like a fine tuned Swiss watch…now, not then.

Fast reloads…some say that this is another positive for the pistol.  I won’t argue against a valid opinion, but I will say that it is not a major factor in my decision on what to carry on any given day.  There are other factors to consider other than ammo capacity or having the option to a quick reload.   But that too is a discussion for another day.

Based on years of shooting, talking to and observing other shooters, I would like to put forth a general statement about those who shoot revolvers or pistols to the exclusion of the other.   For those individuals who fall in the category of “I just want something for the nightstand” or I want a gun but I don’t have a lot of time to spend with it, or I want something simple and straight forward because I’m mechanically challenged, then the obvious choice for this type of person would be the revolver.  For those individuals who take the shooting sport more seriously, who are willing to spend more time with their gun on and off the range, who are willing to spend additional dollars on enhancing their purchase, be it revolver or pistol, are candidates that can appreciate the virtues of the revolver and the pistol and can live happily ever after with both of them if they so choose. Whichever you choose, you can buy pistols online , handgun ammo, holsters, or even pickup a revolver at GrabAGun.com.     

Happy Shooting,

Scorpio
