My new addition from Streichers...(Firearm owners, post up your pics inside)

^^^Thanks, technically he carried a model 29 but it looks like the 629 is just a stainless version-close enough for me though.

I know what you’re thinking: “Did he fire six shots, or only five?†Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?†Well do ya, punk? I love it!:biggrin:

 

Just picked up a 20 ga. Franchi Renaissance Elite today... have always loved the over under shotguns

 

This thread is awesome. I love to see all the gun owners and lovers. This is great!

My baby: Beretta FS92 (9mil)


And my big bang theory: Benelli Nova Pump 12ga. All composite stock. Interchangable barrels. Fits 2-3/4" up to 3-1/2".


I'm quick on the draw, like the horse named McGraw, from the cartoon. Boom Shaloklok Boom! Everybody now... Boom...

 

^^^Couple of nice shotguns! I picked up a Ruger LCP at Gander Mtn last night. I've always wanted one of these little .380's. May not be the ultimate "man stopper" but for those days where it just gets dropped into a pocket and forgotten it's tiny size will be nice. No pics yet but If you've done any looking at guns in the last couple years you've seen one.

 

Hey all,
I seen an add in the Star Tribune for a GUN SHOW AND SALE this weekend (11th and 12th) at the St. Paul River Center. Usually some cool stuff.

 

Nice, I was just looking at a nice Remington premier over under 20gauge at Gander on Monday, I still wishing at this point.

This is one of my Favorites, the super nova is quite nice too.

I love my .32 I always have it on me, even at church with dress pants its easliy hidden in my pocket, The 380's are powerful and the LCP are very accurate (in the 380 class).

 

more tailgate action,new addition
s&w m&p15 MOE

couldent pass up the gunshow deal. ill build my second one.

 

^^^^Cool!

I finally had a chance to shoot the LCP and the .44 yesterday. I was expecting a bit more bite from the little lcp but it wasn't bad at all. The .44 was awesome! It's always fun when you turn around and everyone has backed out of their lanes wondering what was creating so much noise.

 

That MOE looks bad ass

 

Had a 92fs, walter p-22, and hk p30 but sold them all

 

Here is all my good stuff, Springfield XDM .40, Kimber pro carry .45, Rock River AR-15, Ruger M77 30-06, and my little youth Rem 870 20 gauge.



I just read through most of this thread, there are a lot of gun owners on this board !!!

 

Very nice! That thing looks so bad ass! Looks like it's right out of a video game.

 

looking good brian shorten,how's the optic set up? im in the market.

 

thanks for the heads up,they known not to have it done right?

 

WWII Nazi Pistol

My dad gave this to me it was my grandpas, its a Polish Radom. It has both polish and Nazi makers marks leading me to believe it was made by the polish then when Poland was seized by The Nazis they re stamped and issued it, so i think it was made sometime from 1935 to 1940 because the 35 pistols are different and after the Nazis took over production they became very cheaply made . It is missing the firing pin, safety and some other parts. I plan on restoring it to working condition.

 

Hey guys I have a quick question.
I've been given the green light to start an AR build and I'm wondering if I should go with a cheaper(but still meeting my requirements) lower online and have it shipped to a shop($15) or buy one locally that I can visually check out first. Seems there is about a $50-75 premium to buying local.

Also for Martin, in case you haven't seen, SA released a XDM .45, for real this time.

I've been trying to post a pic of my currnet collection but I can't seem to uplaod my pics. This thread needs new pics.

 

Hmmm, if moneys really tight you have an easy answer.(should somehow be able to return it if its super bad...right?) Otherwise if a few bucks isn't gonna hurt too bad I'd support a local shop. It'll give you the peace of mind that the part is nice and you help them out. Bill's GS gave me a range token when I got my RRA lower, that's 15 buck or so right there.

I love my XDm but would likely get a 1911 when I'm shopping for something in .45

Can't help w/the pic uploading thing but I do agree we need a few new ones. I have nothing new to share, I have recently been trying to talk myself into an M1A of some sort.

 

I've been thinking about a Blackwater 930 SPX. I already have a Mossberg 500 pump, but it's a 20 gauge model and I can't get the extended magazine package for it.


IMHO, there is no better home defense firearm than a shotgun. At 20 ft, 1.25 oz of No. 7 birdshot will take care of business without taking care of the neighbors.

 

For home defense, get a cheap pump. Keep it clean and it will work. Spending an outrageous amount of money on a tactical auto shotgun eliminates the most useful part of the weapon. The noise of it racking. put the bolt forward on an empty chamber, drop the firing pin, and load the plug. Keep the safety off so that when you need it, large motor skills can operate it with your adrenaline pumping.

Take it from a guy who carries one everyday for work, actually firing the shotgun doesnt happen. If a person doesn't do what you say the first time simply by seeing the weapon, they will do it after they hear you chamber one.

edit: you have a cheap pump piddster. Didn't see that in the post. The blackwater would be a pretty baller gun for goose hunting though

 

It's that time of year again. Bill's shooter's show next weekend. It's a great chance to try a few things you may be shopping for or just to play with a gun without the rental/range fee. I'm probably gonna go early on friday to avoid some of the standing in line.

tossed on the new barska foregrip and recticle reflexive sight that showed up today. its a HK416 22lr. fun little plinker, have yet to have a single issue with it.




I also have a Walther P22 that the slide snaped in half on, and we picked up a Yugoslavian M57

 

^^^That's a pretty fancy .22! We went to the shooters show today, pretty much the same as every other year. The only ""oddball" I shot was an FN Five-seveN, I don't know much about this caliber or gun but I do know I enjoyed shooting it.

 

That is a fricken awesome .22! I like it!

Would any locals on the north side like to get together for a shooting day at Bill Gun shop in Circle Pines? I haven't been for a while now. Need to go blast off some rounds! Or maybe someone has a better place to go? Feel free to PM me.

 

^^^^ I'm game(+wife and likely another friend). We've done a few get togethers there before as well as the Robbinsdale location. Brian Shorten has been the one to traditionally set them up but, anyone could put one together.

Anyone else interested in a little shooting action? New to guns is OK as well as the most experienced marksmen. there is normally everything there from .22s to 12g shotguns and more.

 

Here is my newest addition to the arsenal its a Mossberg 535 ATS Waterflow 12ga
View attachment 25018

 

Just a couple of my firearms; a Spike's Tactical ST-15 mid-length with an EOTech 512, UTG quad-rail, and adjustable foregrip and a police-issued Glock 22 (.40 S&W). Also have a Lone Wolf 40-9 conversion barrel for the Glock...works great! I'd definitely recommend it!

I've also got a Mosin Nagant 91/30 built in 1942 that has an original PU scope and elongated sniper bolt. Whoever owned that rifle before me definitely knew what they were doing when they converted it to a sniper. Trigger is also great for what it is, nice distinct click right before it fires.





Edit: Props to anyone who can figure out what's wrong with those pics, or what doesn't belong, I should say.

 

Yes! Finally...I've shown that pic to others and nobody got it.

 

Just picked myself up a used Neos for plinking at the range. Bought it with less then 200 rounds through it on Friday when I was visiting my parents. Saturday my dad, brother and I ran that number up to about 800 or so

 

^^^Can't argue with good cheap fun. Especially when it involves firearms. that thing looks like some sorta alien ray gun or something......neat!

I have nothing new to add to the thread but have been buying ammo in .45 ACP an a few extra mags in anticipation of a 1911 following me home at some point this year.

 

1911 is next on my list for pistols.... kimber custom is just such a perfect fit... however para does have a high capacity that i'd love to check out, just not sure about the double stack on a 1911... might be a little bit bulky in the hands....

 

Nice looking 22. I have a S&W 22A. I have a lot of fun with that thing, thinking of picking up a Ruger 10/22 this weekend. I some land up north, so much fun with the 22s.

 

Anybody rocking a Sig 226 or 229?

 

I have brought a P226 to the range a few times. great firearm definitely on the "to own at some point" list.

 

I can't bring myself to buying anything in 9mm. Check your PM's Brian - I'm sending you my "why" comments instead of posting here.

I really liked the Sigs I've shot. I personally find that there is a much bigger advantage to a comfortable weapon than an overly reliable one. If I can do the hard stuff: Sweep, draw to workspace, safety, sights and fire, I'm in much better shape getting off a couple rounds than never getting the draw, grip, and sights right. All with sweaty hands, heart rate through the roof, my hands numb, and tunnel vision...I don't mind keeping the gun clean and greased.

Anyways, my glocks (except the 26) are probably going to see my tail lights once I find a good Sig. I couldn't believe how brickish a glock feels after firing the Sig, and how big they are in your hand/small in the holster they feel. I dig it. Who here wants a glock 22 more than they want their Sig? Any hand raisers?

 

Forgot to add: I'm torn between the .40 and the .45 ACP. I need to spin myself up on ballistics on both, but I'm loving the .40 that I've had. Good balance between capacity, lead, velocity, and recoil. The .45 leaves you with a single stack and half the rounds of the 9 but its going to make up for it in the way a sledge hammer compares to a tire iron. I love the .45 ACP round, except for the fact that they like to go THROUGH things. Thats great when I'm not worried about the two layers of vinyl siding and drywall separating my rounds from the neighbors kids. The negating point to that is you train to fire less rounds and run into cut the numbers of lead balls in the air. After all, no one here is gangster gripping a "gat" from a moving escalade.
