Anyone here into firearms?

I recall that I wasn't a big fan of the open slide. It would occasionally pinch my fingers for some reason. Plus after a range session, one can accidentally burn his fingers against the exposed hot barrel. But to be fair, it was a long time ago that I owned one and I was a novice back then. Those issues could have had more to do with ineptitude on my part.

So I just bought myself a Mossberg 500 Tactical Breacher for patrol. Yea frickin amazing. My camera is broken so Ill post pics once I can, but I found one online so here it is (exactly like mine except I have a redot on it)

I just got a crimson trace laser for my M&P compact, taking it to the range on Weds.

I have one on my regular carry gun. Have you used one before? When you use it at the range, it'll either make you look like a really good shooter, or like such a crap shooter that you'll switch it off out of embarrassment.

Nope never used one before. I was surprised at how expensive they were, seems to be good quality and the fit is excellent. I also got free batteries for life which is a nice benefit.

870 shotty, ---shotgun?

SgtGoldy · 11-10-2009, 08:57 PM

870 I thought bout getting it... but I stuck with my Mossberg 500 tactical breacher. It just felt lighter, and since I would be using it for patrol and high risk situations i didn't know how long I would have to be holding it for. But the 870's action just feels... so rite lol

My first pistol was a springfield XD9. Good gun, though I learned that I don't care for the striker-type pistols and plastic frames.

I had a Springfield 1911 Stainless Loaded Target (wish I'd gone with black/stainless), but I learned I don't care for adjustable sights and how easily stainless scratches up. I put night sights on it for the hell of it, since I also don't like black on black sights.

I have now, and still do...a Beretta 92FS w/ night sights.

I'll get another 1911, and it'll likely be a Springfield. I'm just not sure if it'll be a base model or something like a TRP or some crap.

I also want to get me the shotgun that I've been eyeballing for a while - a Remington 870 Synth 18 w/ ext mag.

I'd also like to get an M1 (I love military-use firearms)...

Gun Control

Barack Obama, at a recent rural elementary school assembly in East Texas, asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'

Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the quiet and said: ''Well, dumbass, stop clapping!'
