The Gun Thread

[Tachyon]

I am looking at getting a handgun in the next couple of months. Right now I have my eye on a CZ75 in 9mm (preferably their SP-01 variant). The only thing is, I would like test one out, and I can't seem to find anybody who has this particular gun in stock. Any suggestions where to look? I've been to Bill's in Circle Pines. Does their Robbinsdale location have more selection?

Well, I fired the CZ this weekend... didn't really like it all that much. Slide release requires you to use your off hand and it felt a little stiff on the whole. I also fired a Sig p226 in 9mm. I liked the mechanics of that gun a lot better, however the grip was a tad too fat for my hand. Additionally, I tried the Springfield XD-M in .40. I liked that one the best of the 3, but am not super crazy about DAO.

I think this coming weekend I am going to try the Beretta Px4 and Taurus 24/7 (both in 9mm)

I own a Px4 in .40 and love it. Plus you get an actual safety unlike glock/xd/etc

I have a FN Browning HP 9mm that is forsale. It's got custom rosewood grips and is a very sweet semi-auto.

I love my Sigs. P225 and 226. The 225 is going to be my carry gun, it has a much thinner grip than the 226 (single stack mag). They don't make it anymore, I think the 229 is the new version though.
I think eventually I want a gun in .357 Sig for my carry piece.

Those .357 Sigs are very loud and have a big muzzle flash. I like 'em too:)

How much for the Browning HP? Pics?

Over the last two weeks I test fired the Beretta 92, Px4, Springfield XD-M, Sigsauer P226, P229, 225, Taurus 24/7 and HK USP (in 9mm).

I really liked the Sigs but the 226 was just a tad fat but 225 doesn't carry enough ammo for my taste. The XD fired incredible, but I really want an exposed hammer (plus I'm not a super huge fan of striker fire). The USP came up the best for me and my initial groupings were the tightest with this gun. I am probably going to pick one up unless I can get thinner grips for the 226.

CVD, I have a good friend (the kind I would trust my life to) that use to carry the 225 and now swears by the 229 (in .357), so I think you are on the right track.

Just bought this a few weeks ago, thought id post up. I bought a Smith and Wesson Ar-15 that shoots 5.56 or .223. Just bought a red dot for it and man this thing is fun to shoot. Came with 2-30 round magazines.

I'm starting to look into getting a regular old boring AR-15 one of these days. My buddy recently purchased a Mosin Nagant 91/30, and an AK-47. I'd love to find someone with a ton of land in the middle of nowhere and do some long distance target practice.

[AwdGSX13]

yeah, i hope once i can get some more money together to get a better scope for long distance shooting. Luckily i have a buddy that lives in Montana in the middle of no where. It was a toss up between this and an AK-47 and about $500.00 difference. I ended up with this because it felt like better quality and would last longer. My buddies SKS is what really got me into wanting an assault rifle.

I went to the gun show at the convention center yesterday and sold my FNH Hi-Power.


I was looking at picking up this

But ended up leaving with this.

I went with the Remington because there are more acessories and more bird barrels out there for it.
