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

For my next pistol I was thinking about either a .357 or a 45. Either a small CC or another Pro series of some sort. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks pal, I'll start looking into the HK45c. Really looking forward to the April event w/Reed's. We need to get to the range soon my friend. SOON, is not SOON enough!

 

^ I'll remember to grab a box of 45 for this day. Thanks

 

What's not to like about all of the above. Thanks for the tip, I've actually got a few hundred rounds being delivered tomorrow. Scope and more magazines should arrive monday

 

308 ammo is so hard to find right now, I can't seem to find any locally from the places I've checked, currently have two boxes just for break'in. Otherwise Fleet Farm has a nice stock of 9mm and 40's.

 

I would personally say to shoot a few different versions of the HK's if you're serious about buying one. While I LOVE my USP 45, the HK45 doesn't feel as good in my hand, personally. I oddly prefer the HK45c over the full size, but the grip of the USP 45 fits my hand like a glove. If you're serious about going HK, you can't go wrong, I don't know of a bad firearm they've ever really produced. Just food for thought, buy the gun that suits you best, they've got a variety of choices to find the correct one.

Beyond that, different guns shoot different, the USP has an upward flick, HK45's have a twist, M&P's have more of a snap upward...find the one you like best.

 

Thanks pals. I really should be slowing down considering how many of these toys I've acquired in just a year. But I figured I should take advantage of the community and momentum while I still have it. Part of my problem is I'm able to adapt fairly quickly so unless someone points things out to me I may miss it. I'm always open for learning so I'm all ears and questions.

I may take up another league here to keep me entertained.

 

Rails and attachments are IMO the ONLY drawback to the USP line of pistols, I personally love the bricks, the controls are perfectly placed for me as well, and it's perfectly formed and fit for my hand.

With that said, I would have to say too, as much as I love my USP entirely too much, I think I enjoy shooting my Sig just as much, and it's cheaper.

 

There will never be a big enough hoard of zombies to worry our household. I'm more likely to choke to death laughing at the **** posted around here lately

I have only found the occasional box here and there locally. The online seller you provided me has now increased prices a bit but still has some available. Yesterday FF in Blaine was wiped out of all but a couple boxes of handgun ammo. They only had a few 44 magnums and 38 special. Cabelas was loaded up with tons of all traditional handgun ammo but at cabelas pricing.

 

better than GM's pricing, when my buddy and I were there they had 20rd boxes of crap ammo in 9, 40, 45 for $40-75...a box. I laughed, loudly, and stated that anyone who was paying these prices is a moron and should keep up the good work. I saw about 4 people put ammo back on the shelf when they realized they were morons for paying WAY too much.

 

with the way things are going now. we all better stock pile while the ammo is avaiable. before they say that the bullets are the problem not the guns.

 

So I've been wondering where do you go if you want to practice shooting more then 100-200 ysrds?

 

unfortunately, its mostly all private gun clubs... there's supposedly two places in MN that are 500+, but they're basically invite only. there was some talk about those on mnguntalk (last year iirc). they won't outlaw ammo... and once people realize this, and the manufactures catch up the prices will drop back down to normal, yet again. it's a waiting game right now.

 

I don't have anymore room in my wallet nor storage space. It's not so much of a problem just as long as I don't use them right lol

 

there is the oakdale gun club it has 100 yds and a 200 meter range.the bad thing is its a private club thet opens to the public on weekends.

 

GRRRRR Alrighty then I'll have to ask my brother Inlaw if I could use his +84 acres for sighting in my rifle.

 

So what is the differences between a manufatured vs a reload round that some gun manu's would void your warranty if you used a reload.

 

because they don't know what/how you loaded your own ammo.

factory man ammo is generally a base point, hand reloads give you the opportunity to have more consistency between bullets, powder, loads,OAL, ect... and if you're trying to get consistent, repeated shots, that's how you'll get it unless you spend the big money to pay a company to do it for you.

 

Thank you, that was my understanding as well from the stuff I've ready and researched on so far. Was curious if there was something else I may have missed.

 

it's more or less to protect themselves, some people load WAY too hot of ammo, and if the breach fails, its no real surprise.

 

I just got my new right hand mini Shepherd kydex holster today. I like this one way more then the Crossbreed regular size as its always riding on thigh when I sit and more to wrap around my waist. I'm considering selling it. It is a left hand holster. The Shepherd is a much thicker kydex.

 

I like the look of that. Do they have a website?

 

There you go buddy.

My Jui Jitsu training partner gave me these tonight... he mentioned he had a bipod (when I told him I was researching them) and he then pulled out the light too... FREE!!! bonus

 

^ Nice! Free Fifty!

 

Picked up 2 Mosin Nagants last night from Bill's GS. I'll get pictures up after they are cleaned.

 

Ouch. How much did they rob you for?

 

Hopefully no more that AT LEAST 70 a piece.

 

$120 each but that's about what I've seen everywhere.

 

Just acquired a Ruger SR9C, I like the difference size magazine options with this. It was a tough choice between this and the XDm, but the price difference and feel lead me to the Ruger. I was sad that I couldn't get one in all black(on backorder with no hope in getting one any time soon).

No pics yet, have to wait for it to be delivered to Scheel's in Moorhead. Gun shop is at their Fargo, ND location.

 

I'll just put this here. I love shooting this thing.

 

Nice HK

 

Is this legal here?

 

You know you want one in an XXXL Fram filter! lol

 

Pot smokers....

 

Would you like some of what I'm smokin lol

 

That explains why you can't hear me when I'm yelling at you.
