Getting a pistol
 

I thought long and hard about getting a surplus pistol, like the Makarov or the CZ52 but I decided I should make my first pistol a new one.

After careful deliberation I've decided upon the SA Mil-Spec 1911 .45

I should be able to get it this weekend.

Don't you have an assault rifle already?

it looks awesome, but i have to ask, why do u want one?

I go to the range like every week, and I'm tired of renting one...

I like shooting..

That's one hell of a nice pistol.

I fucking love 1911s. Great pistols.

Oh dude, it's eatin me up too, They wanted $600.

I put $150 down, and If all goes well I should have it by 9/23.

The anxiety is killin me.

Mine looks like this:

I'll see if I can get a picture of *mine* and post it up.

Right on get the pics up! What caliber is that? I've been gawking at a .50 cal revolver at the shop with like a 7 inch barrel built in brake ect.. its sick shit..

Get a .357 magnum.

No thanks. I'm only $250.59 from getting this one.

Besides I'm not into revolvers and it's not a very fun round to shoot.

Here's mine. My camera sucks, so the detail's not so hot. The pics are big though.

Nice revolver MBob!

Is that a .44mag?

UPDATE : Got it, pics coming soon!

hahahahaha you fucking crazy asses.

I gotta get some batteries...

Nah it's a 357 Mag

How does it shoot, I've only been able to fire the shorter barrels and I don't enjoy it much it's too powerful in a small pistol.

Cool, happy shooting.

I find that a .45, especially the 1911, is the most comfortable to shoot and is still quite powerful without feeling intimidating to fire.

It actually doesn't kick too bad. I'm not much of a shot, though, because it's not really a hobby of mine. I just have it really because it was my dad's, and I didn't want to sell it.

Right on, I've heard the longer barrels are better to shoot..

RS, yea it's a funny story accually..

I was renting random handguns at the range for some time before I decided to buy the 1911, it was definitly the most comfortable for me by far, even compared to all the smaller .40cals

I shot the compact glocks, full size berettas, and many others before I decided the 1911 was the best for me, then a week after I ordered it I took a look at my airsoft gun.. which I have shot a million or two times.. It's the same size and shape as the 1911, go figure...

Go shoot something up with it and take pictures ^.^

Here's some proper pictures.

I'll be taking it and my SKS to my familys farm in North Carolina when my buddy gets his H&K USP.45 out of layaway in about the middle of October, I'll have plenty of 'destruction photos' for your eyes.

And now: Taking requests on things to shoot. If I can I'll shoot it and take pictures.

If you have something of yours you want shot full of bullet holes PM me and we might be able to work something out.

Shoot my stepdad.

K can't be illegal.

Pumpkin?

Definitly, Ok

So far my plan is to shoot:


aluminum cans filled with sand

Medieval Bob: Pumpkin (couple different sizes)

You could always do a watermelon, but it'd be similar to the pumpkin I think.

How about something made out of thick metal? Like a shovel. *dodge*

Is it legal to shoot yourself?

Any old electronics, such as a computer or tv.

Yea, I got an old case laying around (thick steel sharp edges kind)

So far my plan is to shoot:


aluminum cans filled with sand

Medieval Bob: Pumpkin (couple different sizes)

Bob and JR : Computer Case

Might I suggest taping a picture of Zagggon or someone to the computer case or pumpkins for added effect?

How accurate are you with it at long range?

Shoot a filled Paintball tank.

So far my plan is to shoot:


aluminum cans filled with sand

Medieval Bob: Pumpkin (couple different sizes)

Bob and JR : Computer Case

Sov: Can Of Pressurized air.

Try to shoot an old vehicle tire(inflated). If at all possible, shoot some glass like an old window or vehicle windshield.

Windshield is a great idea, I have some hollow point rounds that "cut through windshields" without expanding.. But that's gonna be too tough to come by, not to mention these things gotta be transported.
