ruger
Im thinking im in the market for my first pistol. I was in the store today checking prices etc, and the guy was talking about rugers.
he was trying to sell me on a taurus but its not what i think i want.
ive got a cousin w/ a glock which he lovesbut the store guy trash talks glocks all day long. says he's seen 18 'blow up' on the range.
any advice? thanks,

Rugers are great dependable guns.
Taurus are good dependable guns.
Glocks are great dependable guns but you either love them or hate them and he is a hater. I have never heard of one blowing up.

RE: ruger
I'm a fan of Ruger hand guns myself but really it seems to be a personal preference. What caliber are you looking for? Check out the SR9 if you are looking at Rugers. I really like it and to me is one of the better feeling handguns I've held.
Ruger handguns always seem to be very reliable although not the most accurate. Accurate enough to hit soda cans at 20-25 yards or so but not much moreso than that. That's my experience with them anyway.

I have a Taurus, Beretta, Glock, and Ruger. The Beretta is the 92-FS and it is a super smooth easy to shoot 9mm, I purchased the Taurus a few years before the Beretta and there is a distinct difference in the way they shoot. The Taurus which is assembled just like the Beretta does not shoot as well or feel as smooth. I have owned my Ruger for over 10+ and my uncle had it before me. I love that gun above all others. My most recent purchase was a .40 cal Glock 22 and if you want 100% reliable feeding, good shooting, and simplicity then you can’t go wrong. I would stay away from the Taurus unless you are purchasing a small self defense revolver. For a semi-auto you would be great with a Glock or Ruger. If it is your first pistol I would go for the Ruger.[/i]

RE: ruger
another interesting gun to look at in this price range is the springfield armory xd. i had a 9mm with the 5" barrel and that thing was a beast jammed once on the first shot and never again also was about a bill less than a glock. The rugers are excellent guns ive owned a p95 and a p89 and they are not the most accurate guns but very reliable and built like a tank. hope this helps just my opinion good luck.

Same thing can happen with reloads because of the unsupported chamber. If the reloaded case enters the chamber oriented in the same way it did the first time it was fired then it can easily rupture and damage the firearm because of the weak spot in the case that an unsuported chamber creates.
IMO one of the best polymer framed hand guns on the market right now is the Springfield XD series. Excelent trigger pull for a striker fired handgun and excelent safety features built into the gun yet with no manual safety taht must be manipulated.
