What exactly does it mean when an auction on GunBroker says "No Reserve"?
For example, if I were to bid $100 with 1 second left on this auction and no one else had bid, would I win or am I missing something?

What exactly does it mean when an auction on GunBroker says "No Reserve"?

Starting bid $1399...there's no reserve, but if you want to place a bid it's gotta be $1399 or higher, so pretty much the reserve is $1399.
+ $45 shipping and $25 to your FFL

That's a damn fine looking gun Viva.
I'm picking up my first 1911 next Tuesday, the Springfield Range Officer. Can't friggin wait.
meant to agree with this...if I was going to own 1 handgun and had no desire to carry it'd be a 4" barrel 357 wheelgun. Plink with .38, plenty of oomph behind the .357 for bustin zombies, Taurus-made S&W copycats are very affordable and super reliable, or the real deal S&Ws are a great investment that you will never ever want to get rid of. Semi-autos are more fun at the range but I think a double action revolver is a better home-defense option, especially if you are not super well practiced (get a dud, pull the trigger again...no stovepipe, no rerack, if you're too freaked out to cock the hammer, pull the trigger until the bad guy stops)Quote:

Although, I've got an Astra Constable semi in 9mm short (380 ACP) that would be perfect, especially for someone with smaller hands.

When we first started dating I got my wife a Russian Makarov. She's like 5' tall. The exposed hammer and de-cocking safety are nice for somebody who has trouble racking the slide.
I'm shopping online for finger grove grips for my full size S&W 1911 today. Most are for the Colt Gov't, but I'm thinking they will fit mine, correct?Quote:

Trigger pulled...

I have a perfect pistol collection. i try to come up with excuses to get something new, but i did it right form the get go. Frustrates me sometimes though.
1911, glock19, sw686, buckmark.22. I might add in a true pocket pistol but i think its just a passing fad.

We have a Ruger SP101 .357 with the 3" barrel. Has enough weight and sight picture that it shoots great, little stout with .357 but the wife loves in with .38's, conceals well enough but for daily concealed it's prob a little large unless you're wearing baggy clothes or a bigger dude. Smaller and more packable/concealable than a full size 4 or 6"--6 or more shot wheel gun but much stouter and shoot-able than a snubby. Some would argue that makes it master of none but for an all-arounder it fits the bill nicely for me/us.Quote:

This is funny in a sad way:

..sad because it's pretty much spot-on.
My wife carries a Bersa 380 Plus. It is the double stack version with 15 round mags. We tried 9mm, but she had a hard time working the slide. She likes the Bersa, and I think 15 rounds of 380 should take care of most problems that she would face.
Picked up my first 1911 yesterday. Springfield Armory Range Officer. Can't wait til I get to go shoot it.

Yesterday was the 100th year anniversary of the adoption of John Moses Browning's creation by the U.S. Army. March 29, 1911.
Hence the name. Bet you didn't know that yesterday.... Nice timing!!!!
Ken
Nice. If you guys come out in the fall bring that and an XC bike and we can go have all kinds of fun out at Stansbury.Quote:

Heh, I actually did know that. So yeah, cool timing, though I certainly didn't plan it that way. I can thank California for making me wait 10 days for that timing.Quote:

Fuck that! There's a certain S&W M57 (no dash) that I found out of state, but I can't buy it because in Kalifornia, only the M57-6 is on the safe list. Likewise, I found a M25 Mountain gun, but again, not on the list. Now, if I manage to find one of these in-state, then all bets are off since they're already here and I can buy.Quote:

I'm already licensed for CCW, and picked up a Sig P226 in a 9mm for going to the range.
Finished my hunters safety class last night, and am curious as to where to go from here. I didn't really shoot growing up, except for the yearly trip to the range at Scout Camp.
I'm looking to pick up a long gun in the next few months and looking for suggestions.
In CT, you can only use a shotgun on state lands to hunt, so I'll have to pick that up eventually. Is it worth it to pick up a cheap .22LR for heading to the range with and practicing with first?
It is always worth picking up a 22. A 22 is probably the most fun caliber to shoot, because it is cheap, no recoil, and no noise. Just like anything else the more you spend on something the more accurate it is going to be. The one thing that is nice about weapons is that if you buy one and don't like it, you can usually sell it for close what you paid for it. Also look at used as that will save you some money. There is a personal learning curve that you will get no matter who comes on here and recommends a particular weapon. So don't fret too much about choosing the wrong rifle because as you learn more you will find out what your personal likes and dislikes are.
One option to get your Sig shooting cheap is a Sig .22 conversion kit.

Of course, for this kind of money, you could buy at Ruger 10/22 at Bass Pro, or probably a Mossburg shotty.
OR, a bunch of 9mm ammo so you can get proficient with the 226.
