Well, if you are a really good shot you could use the .45 for a band saw...it just might produce a few more blow outs than you are looking for and might take several shots to get through the thicker stuff!
 
Jack , as they say , " It's better to have one and not need it , than to need one and not have it " . Get the .45 then start saving for a Bandsaw . FWIW , JMHO
 
I'd get the .45, even tho it's a Smith! :wink:
I have a .40 Sigma myself, but lookin' for a Glock 23?
Ruger's new LCR is pretty spiffy, for a wheel gun....

Actually, you could get the band saw WITH the .45 ! ! !

Yeah, go for the .45!!

We get Glock 23's in all the time. What do you want to pay, I will keep my eye out.
 
Kinda hard to protect your family with a bandsaw!! I make it a rule to never bring a bandsaw to a gun fight.

Would depend on whether you got a lot of people to kill or a lot of blanks to cut?

Go for the gun, the gov't. is gonna make them so difficult to get that only the bad guys will be able to have one. Buy them up and hide them for later when they will be worth a whole lot more.

Jack, hope this is not an ambush...just don't want to start another gun thread.

Question to all: Been checking Glocks and will possibly (in the future) go with one of these in order:

G35 - .40
G22 - .40
G20 - 10 mm
G21 - .45

Anyone have strong recommendation (or discouragement) on any of these models?

Thanks!
 
Nothing against guns, I own one hand gun a S&W 357 MAG .that hasn't been out of its case except to clean once a year so for me ................... ....BAND SAW

Get the bandsaw. I'm not against guns, I like them, but I'm certainly not going to pull out my gun and shoot someone if they try to rob me. If anyone's concerned about their safety, I'd be willing to wager that the stress is going to kill you before some attacker does. Sure it happens, there's no denying that, but you have a greater chance of getting killed in a car accident, so maybe Jack should just buy a bicycle, lol.

However, if you have a ranch out in West Texas (like me), your chance of probability of death without a gun is pretty good if you go trouncing around in the middle of the summer. There are about 6x10^2450698 things that can kill you out there. Better to be prepared! I once had a rattler slither BETWEEN MY LEGS when I was crossing an open field (had to change pants shortly thereafter). And death by wild hogs (they run in packs of about 40) . . . yuck!

My defense against a rattler would be to scream like a girl and run. Not the best strategy, I know, but we don't have any poisonous snakes in Maine, so I might panic, lol. I should invest in some anti-venom if I plan on traipsing about Texas, I guess. Although, I'm not too sneaky so they'll hear me coming a mile away.

The hogs might kill you with their breath anyway. :biggrin:
 
Buy the S&W and send it in for factory accurizing, they do a good job. I have some contacts if you need a hand with that.

Dario, I have a Glock 20, too bad you aren't closer, I'd sell it to you.

The Judge is a sweet looking piece, but after a couple of shots, you are going to start getting sore, besides, it's way too slow on a reload.
 
I would wager that all those advocating buying the gun, already have bandsaws! Of course they all probably have guns too! Where I have two bandsaws and only one gun, I'd probably opt for the gun. But then I'd probably get addicted to the guns like I am to certain pocket knives, and would end up buying ten or twenty of them! Sheesh! There is no cure for this is there?

I'm looking at the 1911. I'm going down to Smith and Wesson sport center and try one out. As I said I access to a saw so that can come later. I hate to say it but I believe sooner later we will not have the right to own a hand gun.

The way things are going these days, it ain't gonna be to much longer until only the criminals will be the only thing armed. That's a bad thing too!

Get the weapon and save up for the bandsaw ... you can always get a bandsaw!
 
Jack , IF you DO decide to buy the .45 , I vehemently recommend you use it for protection purposes ONLY . And if you have no previous (military or law enforcement ) education on handling a handgun , GET SOME ! I advocate , personal protection from intruders . If you decide to get the bandsaw , get a good one . Good luck !

By recommending that he use it for protection purposes ONLY, are you saying that he shouldn't use it for recreational purposes, or for criminal purposes?

Having a gun and not using it for the former is a waste. And I figured that it was a given that he wouldn't be using it for the latter...
 
Get the .45!!! No politician is out to take away your bandsaw, but the .45 might be another story.....

I have the Ruger P345 that I got years ago when it first came out. Shoots like a dream and was reasonable at only about $350. Take a look at the Taurus 1911 versions.....nice nice guns for the money. Either way, don't scrimp on a bandsaw or .45.....either one can last you a lifetime if you get the right one (though the .45 is much more expensive to use on a regular basis!!!)
