Anyone have guns?

[cwa107]

As I've said multiple times throughout this thread, we have a specific topic here. There are many other places where you can discuss your feelings on guns, gun laws and the right to own firearms - this is not one of them. Please keep on topic.

My 1911 is very simple. I bought it new in 1993 and it has server me well at home and elsewhere. I added a long trigger and some updated sights. 2 decades with only some spring replacements when I felt guilty about neglecting it. I consider myself lucky in never having to follow through with dropping the hammer in anger.

The 1911 is too darn heavy to carry every day anymore. Generally, I go with either my circa 1976 Colt Cobra Lightweight .38...

...or one of my Glock 9mm's...

What's up my furry little friends

Guess what I got?

I couldn't get myself to actually buy something else. It reminded me of when I was contemplating on getting my first(modern) Mac(MacBook Pro). As with the MBP, I am SOOO glad I went with the Kimber Custom II. I bought two KimPro magazines, and will be purchasing some fiber optic sights for at least the front. I also made a cool friend at the gun shop. Today was a SWEET day!

I don't have a good enough stick to prop up the gun, or else you could see the cool-looking magazine extender.

Congrats, iggi! I've got both a Custom II and a Pro II. Both are excellent shooters, and they have such a great look to them.

I'll second the advice for putting some ammo away right now. It seems like it's going up almost weekly at this point. Reloading has never been so satisfying as it is right now!

The cost of ammo is rising and a nice 22 rifle for plinking is starting to look good any suggestion on brand and model.

Why? I'm curious to the thoughts from other countries and cultures. For MANY in this country guns is something that you grow up around your entire life.

On the other hand, we're growing up with the ability to freely enjoy weed and prostitutes, so that must be weird for you lot, lol.
But back on topic... I don't own a gun, never had... and most probably never will.

Ummmmm........... You win! ;D

Yeah, until we get into an argument... then I'm gonna have to "bite the bullet", lol.

Congrats on the new piece. Get yourself a few 1000rd cases of ammunition before it gets too close to election time. It took 2 years for prices to come down last time and they never did return to anything near pre-2008 prices. It's tough to beat a 1911 in 45ACP...

I disagree with your image. Zombie rule #2, the double tap. Always put 2 rounds in the zombie's head.

 

[osxx]

The main reason for double tap IMO is no matter how accurate you are at a range that ability is some what compromised when return fire is taking place.

I have a Nighthawk, a M14A rifle, as well as an AWP. Haha, just kidding, I can not get the license in my country except if I am in the military or an important person in the government. Just like Kelly said.

Do you think the firearm ownership laws will change under your new Government,and allow plain citizens to own and carry them?

Strange, but this is page 14 and I can't get to page 15....

Edit: oh... now I can :-D

Try reloading the program.

Speaking of double tap, I went the range yesterday to test out the new compensator bushing. I wasn't sure if it would allow the gun to be as accurate as before. While there, I noticed that there was an instructor telling them to should in rapid successions...which seemed pretty darn close to double tap...so I commenced my own double tap lessons

Here's some updates.
Unfortunately, I didn't take a lot of pictures at the range. I will next time though.
All shooting was at 35 yards.

I shot rounds comparing MagTech to Federal ball, but I didn't take pics of it. I didn't like them anyways
The S&B rounds had too many going through the center for me to keep track.

Still waiting for some more parts.

My little barking dog.

Beautiful weapon and **** fine shooting. Especially at 35 yards!
Why the compensator though? Has it improved accuracy in a real noticeable way?

When I had a 45acp you want it compensated if you want a tight group it kicks like a mule without it which translates to muzzle jump.

Not a compensator is a combination energy deflector and a three extension to make this AMD-65 Hungarian military auto 7.69x39 AK clone used by tank soldiers into a legal 16 inch bbl. 922r semi auto imported rifle. If you are not familiar with our US import laws covering military firearms the 922r says the imported firearm must have In order to legally build a non-sporting rifle out of a parts kit (or modify a 'sporting' rifle to include 'non-sporting' features), no more than 10 imported parts may remain in the final product. This is generally done by replacing foreign-made parts with domestically-built parts.

The Mag. well has been modified to except double stack Mags as it was a single stack Mag rifle before. I rigged up a dust cover to attach my E-OTech 553 Optic this give it the great accuracy.

To be very honest with you, I didn't feel much of a noticeable difference with the compensator on. What ever difference I did feel, I attributed to the new Pearce rubber finger grips, and wooden sides.

I already shot this gun well before, as evident by the first shot at 40 yards being a bullseye, so the compensator didn't impress me positively in shooting, but all I mostly wanted to know is will it degrade my shooting ability, since I didn't splurge big $$ on it, and it didn't. I only paid $30 for it, it's a bargain in my mind. Will I pay 100 for one. Nope.
I mostly got this for looks, and for it to maintain those looks while not degrading my shooting abilities. I did that well. They had a custom SS Colt on display with a compensator at my LGR, and I had to try one out. However, I still trust the factory bushing more than this piece.

As for the recoil, I actually enjoy the recoil of this Kimber more than that of my CZ75 P07 that I traded in. It's more "manageable," in my hands. I also like the weight of this gun. It all ties in together to work well as a unit.

The instructor called my Kimber "The Reaper."

I'm so happy I decided to go with this gun...I just frikin LOVE it. I feel sorry for doubting them for any stupid thought that might have come across my mid due to stupid things I've read on line.

I traded off my Kimbers for these new Colts with a little cash.
