why do you guys put a pen near the trigger?

Rotorocious · 02-22-2012, 11:46 PM

Usually to angle the gun up for a photo

Two questions:
1. What do you guys suggest for a smaller range bag?
Something for one (possibly two) handguns, eyes/ears, few hundred rounds of ammo, and some odds/ends. Most of the ones out there seem a bit overkill for someone just getting into this.

2. What about home safes?
Looking at StackOn or GunVault, but open to suggestions on something for the M&P – but not one of the super small portable kinds.

1. Maxpedition makes a great variety of bags you might like. Check them out online.

2. Buy the biggest safe you can afford. You wont believe how fast your stuff will add up. Wife's jewelery, computers, papers etc. Champion, Remington, Fort Knox are all good brands. Fire resistance is also an important factor in a safe. Anything small is a lockbox, not a safe. If I can carry it out, it aint a safe.

I have always wanted a US firearms SAA. They are amazing and I love the history of their factory. Got any more pics?

Very nice. A relative of mine's father used to participate and compete in "Cowboy Action Shoots" and has a stunning collection of SA pistols and lever-action rifles. Damn are they fun to shoot.

ybbiz34 · 02-25-2012, 02:06 AM

Have one of these heading for me in the mail (in 9mm; tried one out at the range and fell in love with the trigger - best trigger I've ever experienced on a striker-fired pistol, period)

This one of the few firearms that I have that I will never fire.

My favorite rifles are my Swedish Mausers. This one was made in 1918.

That's nice. I've had my eye on a P22 for a while.
For triggers, I like my Glock 34.

Why not? And more importantly, why do you have bullets for it then?

I love how they use the original firing pin configuration unlike the fakuero from Ruger.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was that? I was looking at something similar to the Heston gun a few years ago, but it was $$$

euge1978 · 02-25-2012, 03:21 AM

Here is mine. Had it for a few months now. Fun to shoot, very accurate and very smooth in 9mm.

Probably because it's just too darn beautiful to fire.
I also have an Uberti 1875 Outlaw in .45 Colt that I shoot.
It was $1,200.

Also, something has happened to Flickr and the pics aren't showing up - give it time and hopefully they'll be back.

That's cause it was! Well, not THAT one, but you get the idea. You buy anything yet?

MisterSkiMask · 03-11-2012, 10:57 AM

I went to get a walther ppk last Sunday I found out they are off the approved list in the peoples republic of California so I started looking for a sig p232. Not easy to find these days, I was told if I ordered one I wouldn't get it until June.

After some searching I found a new p232 in stock a bit of drive from home and bought it. It has little scratch on the slide, it looks like something shifted in the box, but it's stainless and it will buff out. The wait begins...

3000 for a Wilson or Nighthawk, 13,000 + for the CH SAA. It was MONEY!

Tuned1M · 03-12-2012, 12:45 PM

I still have yet to fire my gun which is coming on a year of ownership.

So sad, get out there!

To be fair I have a shot gun that I have taken out once in probably 2 or 3 years. Thats why I mostly buy hand guns, at least you can take them to the range.
