Thread: Guns Guns and MORE Guns

Yes and no. I don't want to get into a discussion about the reasons or why this is good or bad. That's against our forum rules.
We can have guns, but the paperwork surrounding handguns is horrendous so casual gun ownership is rare.
Rifles and shotguns are somewhat easier, for hunting and skeet shooting purposes.
Carry is not allowed except for LEO profiles.

So when I visited Lynn in February I finally crossed one of the guns off my list that I wanted to shoot. the 44 mag. Although I am curious as to what a 50 mag would feel like

Now I still need to find a way to shoot a pump action shotgun when I visit the us (might be doable) and a minigun (that might be slightly more problematic )

Nothing like starting at the top,,,,,

Well I have shot other handguns. 22, 9mm, .38 .357 45 ACP
But the 44 was missing and it was the one handgun I wanted to shoot most.



I liked it best of all. And in fact with the 8" barrel I was pretty accurate.

Love that Streamlight,, got mine last week,,, I'll make a post on it later.

Or my 700 Remington in 300 Whisper .... I have a suppressor for nearly every firearm I have

If I want to say .... Bond ... James Bond .... I use this


Not a Walther ... but with a Beretta 21A and a Thompson Machine Wasp (about the size of a roll of nickels) ... it's the smallest supressed 22LR package I know of.

I had a chance to shoot a .50 S&W handgun - stick with the .44 mag. Unless I had an angry grizzly charging me or a rhino about to run me over I can't think of any practical use for the .50 S&W.

Since I live in the U.P. I have a few guns. Hard to find many people around here without one. A Steven Maynard Jr 22lr made between 1900-1906. I still haven't shot it yet. A H&R single shot .410. A 5.56 ar-15. This one is fun to shoot, but with all the accessories that are available it is easy to spend far more on extras than the gun itself and my personal favorite a pre64 Winchester 30-30 lever action. I'm still contemplating whether to put a peep sight on. It is a top ejector so putting a scope on would take more work. I plan on getting a hand gun eventually which my top choice would be a 1911. I like the style of those.

When I give my 200.00 to the ATF, it's not only for suppressors ... sometimes I choose an SBR



Of course ... if you choose an SBR, and you want to shoot it will full-power .223's ... I'd invest in a gas-buster charging handle - and if the gas-block is made of aluminum it will eventually erode to the point that you will get some 'blow-back' ... just a little

If your single-shot shotgun is an H&R in 12ga ... that was my very first gun ... you learn to shoot with a single shot and you're using it for upland game
