Looks nice also...
though I do have to ask why the grips change?

Thanks. Mostly just vanity for the grips, I like a clean, all-black look. They feel similar to the Colt grips, a little less course than the Colt checkering maybe.
With the beaver tail my hand feels about a quarter inch higher. Whether it is or not I'm not sure, but my hands are up on the frame where I like them with less pinch in the web of the hand.
Just picked up a Ruger SR9c in stainless for everyday carry. This has to be one the most comfortable guns i've held. It really just fits my hands and feels right. Plus i was able to make my IWB Glock holster work with it too.

Just ordered a Baby Desert Eagle, 9mm (steel body) for target/plinking that will be ready for pick up this week. At a gun show this past weekend, I picked up the .45 version and it fit me like a glove. I've been looking for a 9mm that works for me and I like the classic feel. Since I don't conceal/carry, I'm not worried about weight and really don't like anything with a plastic-y feel.
Yay!
Yay!

Well, I love my kel-tec p-11 I picked up a month or so ago! Had a hard time finding a "public" range... went to myrtle and broke it in. 250 rounds. 1 fail to eject early on, no probs after that. Cleaned weapon well before and after firing (new gun wanted to make sure no factory mess was still in workings). I did add a houge jr grip and the pinky mag extension to give a better grip feel. shot 115gr fmj, looking at some 124gr to see difference. +p ammo not reccomended in kel-tecs, by mfg.
picked up some 115gr hornady critical defense to keep in a mag for home.
Very interested in the kel-tec 2000 9mm carbine, looks like a perfect backpack gun! and takes same mags as my keltec pistol and larger (up to 30rd S&W) May be seeing if one of these is at next gun show! Planning a backpacking trip to NC in bigfoot country. LOL.

I just purchased a Sig P226 Enhanced Elite (9mm) last Friday (had to order it). I was a carjacking victim about two weeks ago. I played it cool, called the cops afterward after the guy let me go. They found him afterwards. He was a violent felon parolee who has skipped parole and just happened to find me. Needless to say, it changed my whole outlook on life. I spent 9 years in the Navy and swore that I would never have guns around me again. My how times have changed.
Glad you're safe.

Thanks. I thought I could play it cool and went to work afterwards. I didn't make it too long.
It came down between an FN and the Sig. I'm sure, based on the pics in this thread, I'll be getting the FN soon too.: )

If you have ever read any of Peter Hathaway Capsticks books (he was one of the last great african hunters/guides) he used to go in heavy brush after wounded leopards and lions with a leather jacket, a leather neck cover, #4 buck and a M12 shotgun. He claimed to be the ultimate close quarters round due to the density of the shot. Judging from the guns that man has used to kill basically every animal that lives in Africa I think it says a lot. Not trying to rag on ya, just wanted to put that out there.
Plus depending on where you live and the silly things people get sued for today, it's easier to defend yourself legally. To some people (i.e. jurors) having a gun loaded with slugs and 000 buck makes you appear prepared and malicious (i.e; wanting to shoot someone), rather than "well i was just lucky to have some hunting loads around when that guy busted into my house."That being said. Personally my Winchester 1300 Defender is usually loaded with 000 buck and side saddled with slugs. :rockin:

Just went with the mossberg. I know its not a 500. its a mavrick 88 field version. Barrel is to long for me so a 18.5 is in order as well as a pistol grip. Mossberg has barrels for $88

GUNS! Woo This is my other hobby Heres a few pictures of my small collection
Heres a few pictures of my small collection
Cleaning out and organizing some ammo just now I found 5 M9 Beretta 15 round magazines from when I was in the Army. Does anyone know if these are legal to sell? I'll never own an M9 so I don't need them.
Not if they're stamped US Gov't. NRA instructor I know says it's not a good idea to sell if they're not stamped or serial numbered.
If you want to get rid of them, make friends with a local cop.

If those mama-jamies were made after Sep 14, 1994, they are verbotten for all but LEO in the state of NY.
Best thing is to send them to me ASAP.

Hmmmm. Guns & Beer.....Hmmmmm
Any AR-15 owners out there. (besides Copperhed
Not a AR 15 but I got the 50 and 338 lapua. Cant afford to reload them or shoot them any more though
Other than shooting rock chucks I do not hunt any more. I do love using the 50 and 338 though with my mile clanger.
I am lucky though that I have a range that I can shoot everything from 100 yrd to a mile away
Lately I have been using a .204 and trying to extend its range. With 40 grain hornady v max bullets I can hit a clanger at 700 yards pretty regular with it

Airborne tries to minimize law enforcement contact. He has a couple warrants out.
Damn, they are stamped.
Yeah, I'm already too well-known by the NYPD. Somehow, they know everything about me, including every paycheck I've gotten in the last 10 years.
All joking aside, I know they're illegal for all but LEO's in NY, but I'm not very big on Federal or out of state gun laws. Ever since HR 218 went into effect, and especially after the revisions, unless I'm looking for a machine gun I can pretty much not worry about local laws since only California might have laws more strict than NY's.

To answer Tx's original question, as a former Civil War Reenactor (bet you all didnt see THAT one coming), I have an 1861 Springfield .58 reproduction rifle at my father's place. When I was still hooting and shooting I could do the compulsory 3 shots a minute.

Yes. If they're Beretta mfg, the serial number will tell the story. I seem to remember a website with a chart where numbers are matched with dates but i can't find it now.
I did some quick research and apparently two of them are DEFINITELY pre-ban. The other 3 might be, but they are stamped from a different manufacturer and I cannot find any info on them.

I'd feel safe with #4 buck - It's birdshot I'm railing against. #4 buck was the FBI issue load for a while, and while their decisions were questionable if not downright stupid prior to the Miami shootout, they seem to have gotten their act together after that with extensive ballistics testing. I prefer 00, but after reading a lot of test materials I wouldn't lose sleep if I got #4 or 000 by accident.
That being said. Personally my Winchester 1300 Defender is usually loaded with 000 buck and side saddled with slugs. :rockin:

Sounds as though you have the same attitude I do regarding juries. Unless they're in the hallway with battle rifles ready to fend off the bad guys on my behalf, I am far more concerned with living through the encounter than with what they happen to think of me after the fact.
