The Firearms Thread

[wgm]

Hi VP,

The little KelTec .32 is fine for its intended purpose. It's ideal for those times when you wouldn't otherwise be carrying. In other words, any gun is better than no gun in an emergency. Price, I suppose, is relative to an individual's situation. But it's the least expensive firearm I presently own.

Stay safe,
Will

Impressive. Alot of nice guns you got there. Hows the performance on that KelTec? I've always admired them. But arent they a bit pricey?

My best,
-VP

The keltec is the best gun for concealed carry there is. It's extremely lightweight and small. Feels like you aren't even carrying anything at all.

There are plenty of them for sale on gunbrokers, I have 2 of them. They are usually in the $250.00- $300.00 range last time I checked, which is pretty cheap for a nice little piece to carry.

Hi whistlrr,

The world would be a safer and saner place if everyone was as thoughtful as you appear to be. I especially agree with your desire to take a basic gun safety course. If, God forbid, you were ever in a situation where knowing how to handle a firearm could be the difference between life and death for you or your loved ones, that would be a wonderful thing.

I encourage everyone, shooters or non-shooters, to learn how to safely operate and/or render safe any firearms they may come into contact with.

Regards... and be well,
Will

LOL, indeed it is, other than the cost of ammo nowadays... it is an arm and a leg for a case now...

LOL, indeed it is, other than the cost of ammo nowadays... it is an arm and a leg for a case now...

I know, I took advantage and sold 3,200 rounds of 7.62x39 for some cash a couple months ago

now I only have enough ammo to join a small army, not start one

 

[raven9mm]

nice profit I hope! Yea, I miss the prices from 6-8 years ago of $79 shipped for a case of 7.62x39...

And stupid me, I had bought 1000 rnds of 7.62x45 for $60 shipped, and I blew threw it all... now that **** sells for $1-$2 a round... if I had only known...

Won't get into how many I own - lets just say multiple gun safes and cabinets lol. Also into Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS - Home)

I have a P11. It's a wicked little beast that can use the high capacity S&W magazines. The small size and belt clip accessory offer great versatility for carrying.

 

[augie]

this is my baby right here..

another that I REALLY want...cause I love my .45 caliber...

 

[BrockJ]

The H&K's are nice guns but they're heavy. Had the 45 compact and fully loaded it's a pig! Hard to pack all day. Nice to shoot though...

 

[raven9mm]

OOOHH! OOOH! I got a new toy! GSG-5PK. 22lr MP5 clone Time to go to the range!

 

[Slither]

Ok, so can I be the first female to post that doesn't own one but would really like to? Every opportunity I have had to go to a range and shoot with someone has fallen through lol.
My family were mostly Amish and Mennonite..can't say I was raised around them. Would love suggestions for a good all around one to start with though.
I know Colorado has a lot of classes, and there is a range right down the street from us. Apparently we also have the make my day law here..found out about that when I threatened to loose my dogs on someone poking around in our back yard who refused to leave.

 

[Hoosier]

Ah, don't have time to list all the firearms I own. I am a certified RSO, rifle and shotgun instructor and do much of my training for the Boy Scouts. My pistol certification process was halted last year due the the instructor becoming ill, so hopefully I can get that last cert this year.

Yes, have a CCP. In the winter I carry a 10mm. When it warms up I go down to a 45ACP or a 9mm depending on the clothing.

@Slither, I would recommend a 12 gauge pump shotgun with proper training. I keep one for home defense. Once, many years ago, there was a situation on my property and the sound of the pump loading a shell was enough to cause the situation to go away. Training is very important though with instructors that know your local laws. Showing a firearm is considered a criminal act in some places even if you are on your own property.

Keep safe and have fun.

 

[dgriego]

We own several (we being husband and I) but I have a HK40 USP that I got as a gift for mothers day. It is all mine, we share the others.
We like to shoot for fun, my husband hunts a lot. I have been around guns since I was very small and grew up shooting.

 

[justincase]

I am a fan of H&K myself! Yea, it's a bit heavy, but I like that. I currently own a 45 by them and I have and also a 45 Llama. Also have several shotguns. No CCP. We have open carry law here also, and there isn't anywhere that a permit would allow me to carry that is not already allowed by the OC law. Don't really see the point. A 45 isn't something you would want to pack in your purse, know what I mean?...

Are these usually allowed at ranges for target practice? Thanks for the response
