The Gun Thread

[asshanson]

Went shooting with my Dad and his friend last weekend, first time shooting high powered rifles, also first time shooting at 100yds. Brought the .22 with bead sights out to 100yds but it was pretty useless. Here's a pic of the M1A:



Also his friend brought out his AR15:

Gawd I love that M1. Pure sex

What range do you guys normally use? I usally hit up Bills in CP because it's close. Anybody down for killing some paper this Sunday?


I put an AMD65 Brake on the Draco and need to examine the new fireballs

[asshanson]

I've love to but I'll be back home in Iowa this weekend for a wedding. At home I go to the Isaac Walton because it's a mile from my parents house, but here I've only been to the Bill's in Robbinsdale.

Found an optics rail for my Tracker at the pawn shop.



It is now a crow/squirrells worst nightmare

Update on the backup Draco, Midwest Industries quad rail and Hogue grip are finally on.



Quad rail is very nice quality and will be the perfect mount for my aimpoint.



Hogue by far makes the best grips hands down. If you own an AK or any firearm I highly suggest you pick one up.

I don't have current pics, but theres an Aimpoint M4s on my Knights Armament SR-15 now. Here's a couple old pics of her.

I'm planning to get mine for Christmas. Although I don't know how great a Glock 17 will feel with an inside waist band holster.

The next gun I'm buying is a 1911, I will probably carry that. Even though it will be full frame, I'm hoping it will be ok for CCW since it's single stack.

I found the weight to be the biggest problem with carrying the .45. I ended up switching to a Glock 23 and although I have an IWB it is so much more comfortable (and faster to draw) on the belt. They have some holsters that only have the barrel a few inches below the belt line so concealment isn't too bad but comfort is infinitely higher, especially when driving.

The right holster makes all the difference. You'd be suprised what's concealable

Truf. A buddy showed me his Reuger LCP the other day and the holster he has sits just off the hip, I put it on and you literally can't hardly tell its there.

Made me think about getting one finally...

[Scott]

I carry my G21 from time to time is a blackhawk paddle holster, the nice thing about Minnesota is we don't have to conceal if we don't want to. When I am going out and want to conceal or if I am working I usually carry my LCP. I am looking at getting a G23 next for a kind of "Best of both worlds" scenario. I agree with mlomker, weight is usually the biggest issue when carrying a gun. If its to heavy, or not comfortable, you wont carry it with you all the time and that defeats the point of having a carry license in the first place.

Very nice guns everyone. I just picked up a 1943 Mosin Nagant, I would like to try and go shooting sometime soon.




It came with the a strap, 2 hip pouches, gun oil, a set of tools, and a bayonet. This is my first gun, and purchased just to shoot at a range or someones land for fun.

I also have joined the gun owners club as well. Currently in the safe:


Mossberg 20ga
Turkish Mauser 8mm
Mosin Nagant
Marlin .3030

The Mosin and Mauser are actually mine, the other two (along with many others) will be mine in due time.

P.S. first pic I took with my new phone. Not too shabby.

[Scott]

mosin-nagants are fun guns to shoot. Cheap ammo, accurate, and there are a ton of parts out there for them.

[19TsiAwd90]

i got a remington 7400 30-06(deer rifle)
a modle7 7mm-08(back up deer/cyote)
a nice little 20ga benelli supernova pump(for grouse)
a nice ducks unlimited 12ga(will be mine soon lol i use it for phesent and duck/goose)
an older .22 semi auto paper shooter (i got from my dad i think its a remington)
and i would like to get a .357 mag to carry while deer hunting

[Scott]

Totally agree. I have a G21 that I carry almost never due to the size and weight. Probably going to get a G23 next. If you need a carry every day throw in your pocket and go gun the LCP is pretty sweet. The LCR 357 is catching my eye as well.

I went to a gun range yesterday and was shooting my friends' guns. Kimber 45 semi-auto w/ laser sight, a 9mm semi-auto, and a 5-shot 45 revolver.

Time for me to start gun shopping...what's a nice basic handgun to get? I'll say it's for home protection. I like the idea of a semi-auto rather than a revolver. I'm not too sure what caliber I want...something Janelle can handle too.

I just read someone yesterday saying a revolver is one of the easier guns to handle in a panic situation, and as reliable as say a pump shotgun.

Anyone want to chime in on that note?

You could get one of those 5-shot revolvers, "The judge" and shoot a bad guy with some .410 bird shot! Or a .45 slug. Or a .410 slug.
