It's a toss up between my Luger, my Enfield, and my first M500. The luger was a .22 repro my grandpa gave me. The mags don't work and it's probably only worth like $50 but it was my first gun so it holds a lot of sentimental value. The Enfield was one of my grandpas hunting rifles. It's been in the family for 3 generations. Surprisingly enough nobody else in the family wanted it. My first Mossberg was a 50 year old piece. It held a special place in my heart because it was the first gun I ever bought. It was something I worked for and earned myself.
good...............but a quick question, pro gun or anti gun? - - - Updated - - - how do they taste? recipe?
Colt LE6920. EoTech XPS. My personal favorite go to after my G23 has provided enough cover to get the real gun.
I don't own any Rugers, but I found a pretty good deal yesterday on a Ruger SR45. Any thoughts about this as a CCW? I've read that its good, but the trigger has no real break point, so it, in essence, just fires somewhere unpredictable in the travel. Not sure this would be optimal in a self defense situation.
I don't know, other than the 1911 and Mark II all the rest of their handguns I have are Revolvers... I'm kind of a revolver whore.
I have a friend that works in a gun store. He doesn't like the SR series at all. I held an SR-40 and really liked how it felt in my hands. I've held a few glocks and they just don't feel right to me. I'll probably try out the M&P series.
I'm Anti-gun. That's why I stopped at the BB Gun and didn't move on to the rifle. You'll never see a dead animal carcass strapped on my vehicle either. I never drew a single drop of blood from any living creature... except for mosquitoes, and they started it.
Lots of folks like the M&Ps. I've never shot one. I'm looking for something a little lighter than my Springfield XD. I'm going to try out an XDs today, but I'm not sure I'll like the tiny frame and large pricetag.
well, I have had to. I learned a lot about men a their capacity to do evil in the military. I spent 16 weeks in-country during the Vietnam conflict [RAG} before shipping to the fleet. I saw our own troops to unthinkable things, not just the enemy. Nope, I'll keep my gun, thank you very much. As far as hunting goes, at least I know what it's diet has been and where it came from. BEWARE Chinese packaged meats
Nope! I could never pack in all the heavy tasted, bitter, slimy plant stuffs to make it work, not to mention the endless line of beans!!! I unfortunately do have to eat meat sometimes. I need to get some protein in my diet. But, if you're going where I think you're going with this, I just have to say for myself it wasn't ME who killed the animal, it was some poor day laborer grossing themselves out and vowing never to eat certain meats again. Sorry you saw the worst of human nature, I suppose you can cling to your guns if you want. I'm glad I didn't see anything, and I don't have any use for guns. My personal position on that is if they have me they can do whatever they want... It's not like I could stop them anyway. As for hunting, I've heard rumors, from people who do hunt, and have prepared a meal, that Venison is tough, stringy stuff. To that I say no thank you! I only eat a few select domestic herd animals. I don't even want to think about what might be in Chinese meat. I hope it's not my meat. But after the nuclear disaster , I'd say better than Japanese at the moment.
If you do not have the balls to harvest your own animals, you have no business standing on your stupid little soap box about animal cruelty.
not too much difference, but the shield is a tad bit skinner, so it rides ITB better. The shield is also a single stack, so the 9c has an edge there.
Yeah, not too much thinner. I really don't have any problems concealed the M&P9C, it is a very handy little pistol, and is undetectable with a inside the waist band. - - - Updated - - - Further still, by purchasing meat products you are directly supporting animal cruelty. So do not pretend you on a moral high ground, you are standing in hypocrite corner.
Look Guys, I'm sorry if you thought I was targeting you. I don't like to hunt and I don't want to deal with a bloody animal carcass. That's ALL I'm saying there.
.then, if it goes without saying, why say it at all? we got that................... you may have fallen into the wrong thread, if that's all ya got
It's all good. I was just curious about your personal morals regarding killing animals. It's okay not to like guns or hunting, different strokes and all. Personally I only kill one or two deer/year and give most of that to my kids, that accounts for 90% of the meat we eat as I personally abhor the cruelty in our industrialized meat industry. It's horrible.
If cost is an issue up front then the AR10 is not right for you without a doubt. I understand what you are saying about the quad rail but with the bipod it is a non issue. BTW that pic was a generic off the internet. Mine has the same hand guard as yours I just don't have any pictures of any of my weapons.
what constitutes "favorite? shot the most, or the most often? Most used? Most fondled? Most worked upon/expensive? my AR and accessories total well over $2000. My most used gun is my EDC, the Kahr CM 9 but I don't shoot it much (live). I don't want the fouling and wear to go on my "duty" gun, so I use the CW9 for most of that practice. The only other gun is the most fired one, a Kahr CW9. I long ago mastered the handgun with either hand, and the rifle from the strong side shoulder, so the most handled gun is the AR, from my weak side shoulder, mostly just dryfire and manipulation, but also firing several thousand rds per year. I use the LaserLyte training device in all of them, as well as the Ciener .22lr conversion unit for the AR, and the Twisted Industries .22 unit for the PF9 (modified heavily to work on the Kahr 9mm).
Those are good questions, Twed. The one gun I've most enjoyed was a stainless Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 Mag. I had to do some serious filing on the rear sight, but after that, it was the most accurate pistol I've ever seen. Part of my affection for it was that it didn't need any further fondling. The one gun that I've worked on most and was most involved with was a Rem. 700 Varminter in .223. It was my companion as I read through the books by P.O. Ackley. Because of his influence, I had to also get a 700 in .30'06, but the .223 was the center of my interest. With that, I explored handloads, from brass jacketed bullets loaded to 2,300 fps, to 40 gr. HP's that I chronographed at over 4,000 fps. I wanted to get what I considered the "prettiest" rifle, so that was a Ruger #1 with the Mannlicher stock, in 7x57. To complement that I got the Ruger Bisley .44 Mag. The magic wasn't there though, for me. As for hunting, that .223 was my prairie dog rifle. My longest confirmed shot with it was 705 yards. To me, shooting p-dogs had to have some sport to it. My min. range was 300 yards, and I'd never shoot more than 1/2 of the town before moving on. I ended up running with some guys who were just there for blood lust, using AR's and decimating anything they came to. That wrecked it for me, and I stopped shooting varmints altogether. Around here, larger animals are just too scarce. I've searched high and low, from the Arizona border to up around Ely. There are some beautiful alpine mountains up there, but only very few deer and antelope. I don't consider hunting when there's barely enough for breeding stock.
