Gun collecting

Springfield Armory Mil-Spec

Absolutely. Can't go wrong with the Mil-Spec. The very first 1911 that I ever bought.

I heard it's awesome...if you could find one to buy.

~~I'm sending my P7 off to the day spa next week to get refinished. I decided on this finish, but I'm also going to have them finish the stampings on the slide with a Satin Black (not my gun, but this is from their site):

I also went to the local gun shop to have him order me one of these. It'll be a while before he gets one in, but it's still exciting. Smith and Wesson M627 Performance Center .357 with a 2.625" barrel.

Still haven't decided on my first gun but I went to the range today and finally got to shoot the Beretta 92fs. I also got to shoot a baby Eagle and the FNP-45. I think I really like the FNP the most so far. I've yet to shoot anything Sig or HK yet. They're still waiting on their shipment of range guns from those to come in. So far the FNP is tops on my list.

what range do you go to?

I picked up my first gun today, well guns actually. Remington shotgun for home protection given to me by the father in law, and a DPMS AR-15 for a cheap entry point into hobby. Can't wait to get it on the range and try it out.

Congrats on joining another addicting hobby.

I went to the new 17 lane indoor rifle and handgun range that Adventure Outdoors just opened up off of South Cobb Dr.

might have to check them out, what do they charge for lane use?

 

[hairlesswookiee]

I wish I had an outdoor range in my area. I think I sweat off 4 lbs. the other day when I was shooting.

If you want a nice modern weapon at a good cost please pick up a S&W M&P .40. Doesn't get any better.

I can't remember. It wasn't bad. They charge like $10 to rent a gun to try out.

LOL why would you buy 40 when you can get 45? and id go with sig or HK over s&w.

 

[wofford29]

I'm going FN .45 tactical for my first gun.

 

[wofford29]

This is essentially every gun I was looking at...

I picked up a Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer the other day and its fantastic. I like it more than my loaded SA 1911. Now I am trying find another one! Can never have to many 1911s!

I am going to look in to buying an M203 grenade launcher in a few months.

are there places that actually let you shoot those?

There are ranges all over the nation for them.

Edit - Not a lot of them...but enough of them.

Edit 2 - The bigger issue is the cost of the rounds...upward of 500.00 per HE for a civilian...AND you gotta find an FFL willing to broker the deal.

Nice. The last range I went to won't even let you double tap.

Most are too safe, any more. But there are still many situations that are very open for gun enthusiasts.
