Wanting to get a new hand gun for Fathers day debating between these two calibers. What would you get and why?

I would go beat the fuck out of all of them within an inch of their life, then fuck their chihuahua while they watch as they get loaded into the ambulance -
If your dad is a competitive shooter, .38 super. If he isn't then get a 10mm.Originally posted by lincolnboy -
My bad man I didn't explain myself well, my wife asked me what I want for fathers day and I'm debating on these two calibers. My dad past a little over a year ago.Originally posted by DOHCTR View Post

I am sorry to hear that about your father. That being said I would go with 10mm. More power, and .38 super seems to be relegated to IPSC, IDPA, and countries where military calibers like 9x19 are illegal for civilians to own.Originally posted by LS WHAT ??

Wrong, buying a gun on behalf of someone such as buying with the intent to give to said person and they give you cash, that is illegal, ie, straw purchase. There is no law against buying a gun as a gift for someone so long as they are legally allowed to own it. Otherwise there'd be many famous people throughout American history who would be in big trouble.Originally posted by Baron View PostComment

I loved my 38 Super it was a nice shooter only complaint was it was very loud. Only downside to both is factory ammo is not loaded to the potential of either round."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

Im more or less poking fun at the assumption of DOHCTOR that it was a gift, But since we are on the subject: my wife was not able to purchase a shotgun for me once she told the dealer it was to be a gift to me. I threw a fit when I went back with her, and they showed me the wording of the law.Originally posted by phaux View Post
In order for her to purchase, she had to be listed as the purchaser, and sign that it was not for anyone else. You can gift a gun in texas, sure, but the form specifically says you cant buy it for anyone else.
Dont belive me? Walk up to the gun counter at academy and tell them you want to buy a gun as a gift for your dad, see what happens."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment

That's wrong.Originally posted by Baron View Post
11.a. Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual buyer if you are acquriing the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you. (See instructions for Question 11.a.) Exception: If you are picking up a repaired firearm(s) for another person, you are not required to answer 11.a. and may proceed to question 11.b.
And instructions for 11.a.:
Question 11.a. Actual Transferee/Buyer: For purposes of this form, you are the actual transferee/buyer if you are purchasing the firearm for yourself or otherwise acquiring the firearm for yourself (e.g., redeeming the firearm from pawn/retrieving it from consignment, firearm raffle winner). You are also the actual transferee/buyer if you are legitimately purchasing the firearm as a gift for a third party...

I have both but lean toward the .38 super, I enjoy shooting it more, am more accurate with it (both are in same model of gun), more mag capacity...and i can usually find the ammo a little cheaper than the 10mm.
Neither are the easiest to find ammo for though, not every store carries either of them even when ammo is readily available, just have to shop around and plan ahead....Comment
