I believe that goes for both :/

Good discussion going on here.  When I get back to the States I'm going to be in the market for a carry gun, lots of things to keep in mind here.  I'm sure Jualdeau will keep trying to steer me towards those 9mm Glocks he is so fond of.  lol 

Eewww, yuck.

 

[jualdeaux]

Hey now. I"m not trying to steer you toward a 9mm Glock. I'm just saying that you should get a good multi-prupose gun instead of somehting just for concealed carry. Then with that gun you can go to training classes, range work, comps and still carry it if you want. If you get too small a gun, one made just for CCW, first off then it won't really be overly good for the rest of the stuff. Besides, you already haave the SP-101 for deep concealment. No need for another one right at first.

And I never said to go with glock, just something around the same size as the Glock 19/23. I have also mentioned the Sig 229 SAS as a good gun to look at, which is .40S&W only by the way.

 

Oh, and

Another Glock fan, eh?


Here is a pic of my C&C piece...



Glock 36.

Oh, and for those who know about my 'modern' kilt wearing thing... I found a place that makes a kilt with  a C&C pocket. 

[Dracho]

Ahh... CCW classes... always take an automatic, even if you have to rent one.  If you take a revolver to the class, you can only carry a revolver (at least here in Oklahoma).  If you take an automatic, you can then carry either flavor.

[KAT J'inn]

Is that 22 S&W a Performance Center gun? If so it is more than worth it. As for the 1911, if it is a GI gun of some sort, that also is an excellent price and should not be missed if possible.

1)   I dunno if the S&W was that type.   But it looked great and the gun shop owner started talking about stuff I was clueless about.   He may have said Performance whatever.   I dunno.  He did say it was the top of the line as far as target range .22s go.

2)  No clue on the history of the used 1911.  I doubt it was a wartime piece.    Would be cool to get a Korean War gun like the one my Dad and perhaps my Mom would have carried.   Both were Vets.

[Dracho]

Singer Sewing Machines retooled during the war and produced M1911 pistols.  If you can find one today, they are easily worth $25,000 because they Stamped Singer on them instead of Colt.

[jualdeaux]

I have also coloured in the stampings on my slide in silver on my 35 and in red, white and blue on my 26. Today, I installed a chrome plated Extended Slide Release, slide lock and chrome pins for the two just above the trigger guard on the 35. Gun got BLING! LOL I don't have pics yet though.

FYI If you ever take the pins out, make sure to put in the upper, smaller one before you insert the slide catch. Then insert the lower, larger pin. I tried it the other way and didn't realize that the spring on the slide catch got in the way of the second pin. It took me quite a while to notice that and correct the problem.

i finally found a pic of my S&W .22cal pistol

smith and wesson m22a



i love this damn thing! plus it doesn't look like a typical .22. it has that larger caliber "mean" look to it...

First of all  back at you.

Second of all, I am allowed to harass you as I desire at any time even in public. 

Thirdly, any time you actually make sense and have a better idea than I do (even if you actually have the ability to see and handle the guns we discuss and I don't) I can make fun of the idea and then immediately claim it as genius of my own!  HA! 

It's in the rules, look it up. 

Hmmmm....it's going to be a fun couple months after I get home!  Yea baby!!!  Get the see the wife and kids again, some deer hunting, new house and a new toy to play with.  I mean, can life be any better than that?  I don't think so.

[KAT J'inn]

Welp . . .   I bought one.    I got a Ruger mkIII  (a nice .22 semi-automatic pistol made for target shooting).   Bought it new for $334.00 which seemed good.

I get to pick it up in about 5 days.

Thanks for the tips.

500 bullets for about $13.00.   WOO HOOO!!

*starts thinking to himself*... 21 in May... hmmmmm....

Think I paid around that for my 9mm.

[S'Raek]

J'inn please give us a range report when you get the chance.  I've considered buying a Ruger for target shooting for my kids.  I do have a .22 pistol but it isn't of the quality of the Ruger. 

Now, I do have other things on my list of guns to buy so the Ruger is a ways down. But hey, it never hurts to check these things out.

Just out of curiosity, which model was it? The Stainless Hunter, the 45/22 or the other one. I can't remember the name of that one.

Well yes and no, the rites of hunt are still good enough of a reason to kill innocent animals. good food
(yes i do admit that I illegally own automatic weapons, this is a "multicultural" town  so i believe that i have a fairly good reason. We need to defend ourselves.)

Mackie, do you mean full auto or semi?

I believe that goes for both :/

Actually Mackie, Semi-auto is a "one pull, one shot" set up. Full-auto is a "one pull, you can empty the clip" set up. I need to get a "full-auto" 10 guage shotgun. No need to aim, just pull the trigger and kill everything in site. Can also be used for cutting down trees or Amway salesmen. 

[KAT J'inn]

I got a plain vanilla "blued" MkIII.    I don't know if there is any other designation.   It's not the stainless one, I saw that. Too flashy.   And it's not a 22/45.

As for a range report . . . since I have never fired a pistol on a range in my life I don't have a point of reference upon which to base any statements.  However, I'll report away anyways.

if you go to a gun range. ask for help sighting in your new toy. i don't think i've seen a gun yet that shot straight right outta the box. may i suggest a in-barrel sighter (basically a tube shaped laser designator that fits in the barrel to let you point on-target and fix the site to the correct sighting pattern.)? they really aren't that expensive and if you plan on getting more firepower they pay for themselves as they save considerable time sighting in your piece/

For my sight adjustments, I use a consistent grip and trigger pull, and a small screwdriver.
