Why not? I mean for an extra 100 bucks I get the exact gun I want. Still much cheaper than the SLP. Which I had for awhile.Quote:

After these two come in Im going to look into a LWRC M6 A5 in tungsten. Then maybe a Costa Carry.
I look in on this thread now and then.
Everyone seems to take very extreme positions and does not really say what they want.
It's obvious something has changed at a cultural level.
I will say this. A local high school has a shooting club. - Organized multi school competition shooting.
I drive by the range this past week while a competition was going on. the parking was overflow, hundreds of people there.
Makes you think a bit ???
guns make sheep think they're wolves
I was in a shooting club in 7th grade. English teacher. Goes by Hickock 45 on Youtube.Quote:

I do not , hunt or shoot anymore. But in the past I did. My granpa was the western region 1,000 yard champion 6 years in a row in the late 50's early 60's I grew up where my home one relatives were full of many types of guns. Target shooting match rifles, Skeet guns, Trap guns. antique pistols, Hunting rifles all different bores for different game.Quote:

for some time as a kid my mom was a single mom, and when we went anywhere like drive down 395 from Tahoe to visit granpa, she packed a .357 pistol, and she knew how to use it. "We were safe"
so today, WTF is going on I America?
So I see this issue from a different perspective.
Overshare. I have not fired any firearm in the past five years.
But 5 years ago I made sure I can hit a 3" bull with a .45 @ 20 yards.
And yes I have a .45 acp one in the pipe 10 in the clip close by.
Don't wanna fuck with me in my home/
Picked this up at a local gun show yesterday and took her to the range earlier today. An IDI-made auto that went by various names, depending on the importer. All steel and a fine shooter! Further, by owning this, I show my solidarity with the glorious nation of Israel and support the campaign against their own local deplorables.Attachment 236454

when I was 16 I got my thumb torn open by a classic 1911 because I gripped it incorrectly.
also, I am a lefty, so limited on works for me
It's a 9mm, and based, partly, on the CZ-75.

Mine was imported by Magnum Research, and they called it "Desert Eagle Pistol". I was also know as "Baby Eagle" under a different importer and "Jericho" under yet another importer. They kinda look like the big Desert Eagles, but mechanically, they're very different.
And MTT, I'm with you on he .45 ACP. My favorite pistol is a Guncrafter Industries 1911. I posted a pic here a while ago.
Love both the .45 and the 9mm, two very interesting stories that are in close to the same place performance-wise now with modern ammunition.
You are so a badass dude. On the internet. I'm laughing right now, thanks.Quote:

That said. I have just shown a loaded pistol to an aggressor and they backed the fuck off asap.
the real world.
I am creeped out by these anti gun posts.
Successful Defensive Gun Uses are in fact quite common, and part of the reason that guns in the hands of the law-abiding are such a big net social benefit is that they can often result in ... no one getting hurt.Quote:

OK. So I was having an issue with a neibor a few years ago. I guess he was going through a mid life crisis "Mid forty's" ?? He was trying to pick a fight with me. I sat on my front porch with a beer and a .45 sitting next to me. He is yelling and calling me names. ends up coming within 10 yards of me and smashes his beer mug o my front steps. Then I just pick up my compact .45 by the body and show it to him. He ran backwards so fast he fell down. we don't talk much eve now 4 years later, but he does not fuck with me.Quote:

Was that before or after Sandy Hook and the creation of a tech talk thread? Times change. norms change. This thread is the shit pile that it always has been.
Does it matter?Quote:
