Firearm Enthusiasts Thread

My best hunting buddy back in High School had a Sweet 16. Always wanted one. Good compromise gauge.

 

I have one which is the basic Colt factory stock piece. I might sell it.

 

I have a 12ga 870 and a 20ga 1200, both are bulletproof.

 

My grandfather had a Remington semi-auto 30;06 that was always promised to be mine, but my dad's sister talked him into selling it to her son for f'ing $200 when he was senile. I still don't like that bastard.

 

Here ya go Jay.

Print off the PDF that loads, and then go nuts on your choice of AR platform. Submit 12 a day for the same gun, and then hope.

Also good to note, don't have to be an NRA member. Or pay money.

 

Thanks.

I'll get on that.

 

If you decide on a single gun, copy and paste the image of the coupon for that gun over the other 11. Then you just print 1 sheet per day.

 

Will do.

Thanks again.

 

I think I've asked this before, but I'm looking for a good handgun for the house. The wife is finally open to the idea.

Uses will be -

1. Get my carry permit (just because).
2. Go to range occasionally
3. Have it in house and pray to God it's never used there for any reason.

Help?

 

Go to a gun store and see what feels right in your hands. Bonus points if it is a shop with a range to test them.

 

Ask your friends to borrow theirs too. Shoot as many as you can before you make a decision. I prefer a Glock but for the home nothing beats a pump action 12 gauge.

 

A hand gun is good for fighting your way to a rifle/shotgun.

 

Get her a 410 for the house

380 for her to carry

 

Definitely handle a few. Then rent one or two at the range.

 

Yep. Find a range with reasonable rental rates. Tactical Advantage Corp (formerly Coal Creek Armory) in west Knox charges a flat $10 fee to try any of the handguns in their rental selection. Bring your ammo and they may not even make you by their ammo, otherwise you have to factor that into the cost.

Like others have said, just narrow down first based on ergonomics and comfort. You can also narrow down based on things such as safety vs. no safety, single action vs. double action, etc.

 

I have the Commander model for off duty. It's a great shooter right out of the box. I qualified for carry the first time I shot it. Great gun made in 'Merica.

 

Got to shoot a full-auto Glock 18 today.... that was quite the experience.

 

Absolutely!!

 

Extended mag?

 

Unfortunately, no. He had a 33 rounder somewhere but I just opted to shoot the 17 rounder. It was gone in 3 or 4 bursts.
