The Gun Thread

im looking into buying a pistol or maybe a rifle, but being new to the gun owning what do you guys think would be a good choice?

Could you narrow it down a bit? Pistol or rifle? What will it be used for? How much do you want to spend...I know DSMers are cheap, but how cheap do you "have" to go?

yeah lol I would really like a nice pistol to take to the range for leisure fun. Price range I guess is kinda open for now until i can get a good range of options.

Well I'm sure there are a great many answers to your question but this is where I'd start: Go get your permit. Go look at SIGs. The SIG 225 or 226 are great choices. If you want a 1911 (Classic .45) then I'd say go with a Rock Island. Buy something and take a beginer class at your local range. Take time to really learn what you are doing and how your gun works. I personally get alot more out of rifle shooting, but that can become a bit more costly quickly.

thanks for the advice.

Entry level pistol I'd go with a Rock Island 45 as stated or possibly baby eagle .40

I just picked up a Ruger 10/22 for somthing fun and cheap to shoot. Planning on changing the stock and barrell. See what happens from there.

^ They sure are fun. So easy to work on and mod.

Got a dumb question, how can Bill's have automatic weapons? Is because they are old, or do you need a special permit? I've been contemplating shooting one just for fun!

They sell to law enforcement and also it is easier to get a permit for a dealer demo full-auto because if the weapon is a dealer demo it can never be sold to the public.
