Fair Warning

    The European Union, which appears to be assuming the role of societal rabbi,  is making pronouncements on every single aspect of human life.  They just ruled that ham and cheese sliced outside the region where it is grown just won't taste the same.
"The EU's highest court has ruled in the case of northern Italy's famous salty Parma ham.

"It said Parma ham and the region's gourmet Grana Padano cheese could only be sliced or grated for pre-packaging in the regions where they were made." [Dispatch]

    I have to say this, or I won't sleep tonight (even though history shows that Europeans living in Europe are about the dumbest people on Earth), DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR GUNS.  YOU WILL NEED THEM VERY SOON.

But I don't have any guns yet, because no one has found one for me on gunfinder.com!

How hard should it really be to get my hands on one of these?

Shouldn't be hard at all. Do you want a .45 ACP for personal protection or competition?

I know it shouldn't be hard, but no one has responded to my gunfinder thingy yet.

This will be a multipurpose gun. Home defense, hobby shooting, and if I get any good, maybe some competition. If I were just getting for home defense, I'd get a 12 ga. If my state had CCWs, I might get something smaller (although I'm probably big enough to conceal the 1911).

I suggest signing up for the Bullseye-L discussion group. I know many who buy and sell their .22 or 45s on this site. Most important, if you ask a question you're likely to get a ton of replies, somee actually good. My advice would be to go to a gunshop and buy a used .45 ACP for $350-450. When, and if, you get ready to compete, you will pay the same $ to get it accurized as someone who paid $800 foe a new one from Springfield armory. In the meanwhile it will stop any perp in his tracks.

I'd be more likely to be interested in practical shooting competitions, so I don't think I'd need nuthin' too fancy. I've gotten a lot of advice to avoid used guns unless I REALLY know what I'm doing, and I don't figure I'm quite there yet.

I got a guy who's willing to sell me a new blued model for $599. It's a fantastic price, but I'm concerned about rust and would rather haver the parkerized or stainless. The parkerized model also comes with the night sites, which I would also like to have.

Real men wear long leather coats (a la Michael in La Femme Nikita) so you can conceal your Barrett .50.
