Handgun or Intercooler

My ride has basic bolt-ons with Cobb stg 2, and I'm contemplating between upgrading the stock intercooler or purchasing my first handgun. In Arizona, anyone and everyone has one because no license is required. They no longer require a conceal and carry license either. It's like the wild west, where regular people carry them holstered wherever.
I know an intercooler won't protect my home and family, but I've never needed one this far...hmm

Springfield XD 9 compact


Walther P99c


Ets intercooler

I bought an intercooler but don't yet have a gun...although I was looking at the Springfield XDm series too!

Honestly, save up and buy both if you want them. Whatever one you buy you'll want the other, and eventually you probably will just buy both.

Absolutely hilarious that your going through this debate, because I honestly went through the same thing about 2 weeks ago. CBRD/JMF FMIC to match the piping, or pistol.

In the end, i stuck with the stock FMIC since it should be good till around 400whp, and instead picked up a full 5in Kimber TLE/RL, all black, streamlight light/laser combo etc etc etc.

Much better choice in my book. cost of the gun spread over 40 years (lifetime) well worth it. gl in the decision

I love my Kimber TLE/RL as well. And if you run out of ammo you can still club people with it unlike that XD which will feel like getting hit by a cell phone.

I have an Springfield XD, Glock, and H&K. By far I love the Springfield. Shoot a few before you make a decision, but it is a great gun, feels great, high quality.

If you're gonna get a handgun definitely get a Beretta unbeatable reliability. Really though pistols in my mind are useless, if you want a fun gun to shoot get a tactical .22 (the guns cheap and you cant beat .05 cents a shot plus they're more fun to shoot IMO) or fork over the money for an M4 or AR15. If you're looking for home defense go and get either gun previously mentioned, or a 12 gauge with double ought buck, you don't really even need to aim that much. So my vote would be for intercooler or a different type of gun.

I voted intercooler just because everyone else voted gun. I really dont have a preference on either, just like being different.

Unlikely you'll ever need the gun, you'll use the intercooler every day.

I'd get both but get the gun first. You might not ever need it but the day you do will suck.
