Guns, hooray (PICS)!
I grabbed a few shots of my custom built and painted AR today. I have had her for a few years now and she just gets better and better. Runs like butter and zero issues. Anyone else have something to show off?

that thing is beautiful. love the paint. no pictures right now. don't have anything fancy, just a .264 remington i hunt white tail with and a browning 12 gauge. definitely want an assault rifle in the near future though.. but for some reason i see myself dropping a few hundred on snakes before firearms. hopefully if our first year breeding goes decent i'll trade a snake for one or use the cash. i love ARs :) lol
-
Nothing fancy... but I just got it less than a week ago! Lol ;)

Re: Guns, hooray (PICS)!
Love it man!!!
I have a nice custom built AR as well. Started with a bare lower receiver and built the entire thing...Every spring, pin, detent, etc. It also has a custom fluted chrome lined barrel and chrome bolt. I'll see if I can dig some pics up.
Edit: Here is a crappy cell pic.

Re: Guns, hooray (PICS)!
The one thing I hate about this forum is that I'm constantly reminded of how much cooler everyone else's stuff is than mine! I carry a Taurus. 45, total piece of crap. The thing jams every five shots. I only carry it for personal protection and I only need one shot, but it still irks me. It's not even a cool color!

Re: Guns, hooray (PICS)!
Mmmmm so many nice boom-sticks. I don't have any firearms at the moment but hopefully will change that sometime in the near future, especially because I'd love to take up hunting.

Not to change the subject but don't ever carry something that isn't reliable. You say it jams every fifth shot, well what if the time you need it is on that 5th time. Also most defensive shootings have more than 1 shot fired. All my carry stuff have hundreds of rounds through them without any failures before they are trusted. Just trying to look out for your best interest.

I'm not actually carrying it with me these days. I've been given the same advice by others. I suspect that if I ever needed it and were in a position to access it, I'd be in my home anyway. Having said that, it is accessible in my home and if I ever feel like my life is in danger, I'm shooting until it jams.

I would find out why?
I have what is considered the worst gun of them all, S&W Sigma in .40..............I actually have a pair of them.
After I let others shoot them, they really like them. The hard trigger takes a little getting use to but they are spot on.:gj:
My favorite is my 9mm Ruger P89
This one has had a ton of polishing:gj:
The teflon jacket works wonders and its nice only haveing to oil once a year or so.
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...owl/scan-1.jpg
These are a pair of "hush" guns I did for the wife and I.
Both are Mossberg 500 actions, mine is 12ga with a breech and her is 20ga (still have to get a 16 inch for it)
Blackhawk recoil reduction stocks make mine feel like a .410 and hers like a .22 :D Nice when you want to shoot all day.
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...-58-00_176.jpg
Im not big on AR15 because everyone has one except me.............when my time and money are right I will be building a REAL AR.............. an AR10 just to reach out and touch whatever I want.:cool:

I think it's just a cheap piece of crap...or I'm crap! It only jams on me. My boyfriend has shot clip after clip to try to see what's going on, it's never jammed on him at all. He has a Heckler and Koch .45 that I can shoot all day with no problem.
You're right though, I should probably get it figured out. Or get a better gun.
-
You do know your Taurus (everyone thinks its a junk gun) owns Baretta ;)
They are built to the same standard.
Seeing as your man can clear the clip and not have any problems I would feel safe to say it is you.
Have you paid attention to what you are doing? Maybe a little limp wrist after a couple rounds?
I am also not a big .45acp fan but that is more of a shot placement arguement and probably not needed here.
Do you have any problems with other auto hand guns?
-
I agree you may be limp wristed after a few rounds (does not allow the recoil to fully reload the chamber) or you are interfering with the return of the slide with your hand. Have you ever been bitten by the slide? You would know, as it really hurts.
If your boyfriend can empty several MAGAZINES (they are not clips), then it is likely operator error on your end. Sounds like a better grip and more range time are in order.

I didn't know Beretta manufactured Taurus, not that knowing would mean anything to me anyway :)
Actually, he's adamant that it's me causing the jams. I've shot his. 45, .38, 9mm, and .22- all many times and with no issues. They are all hand guns, but I couldn't tell you much beyond that. I'm not an enthusiast, just want to be able to defend myself should the need arise. Hopefully it never does.

Ha ha! You're calling me limp wristed AND dogging my terminology?? Dang!
I admit, guns aren't my thing. I probably am a little limp wristed :(
Give me a bow and arrow though and I can shoot a dime at 40 yards, true story!
Maybe I should just ditch the gun and get a can of mace? :)

Who makes that fixed blade with the red handle?

The term CLIP is originally for a stripper clip to load the magazine of most older rifles, AK47, SKS, M44, M91, really any of the Nagant family has a bolt that is cut to accept a stripper clip or speed loader.
When referencing a device to hold your ammo it really doesnt matter what you call it.;)
A clip and a magazine ARE the same thing, a speed loader would be for my wifes S&W Mod60 .357:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

That is a lovely piece of high-carbon steel ^! And your 17 isn't too shabby either. My wife loves her Glock 26 and after I went to their armorer schools, I won't buy anything else...except maybe an H&K or a Sig, lol!

Thanks!, I am a bit of a knife nut, Busse Combat and their Infi steel are probably my favorite when it comes to fixed blades.
You can never go wrong with a Glock. I really love CZ's and ergonomically I think nothing comes close but if I had to pick one gun for the rest of my life it would be the Glock.
-
I'm so jealous! What do you guys use them for? Just down the range or to kill game?

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/24/e3uruzug.jpg
From top to bottom:
Benelli Nova 12ga
Reminton 870 Tactical 12ga
DPMS AR-15 stainless barrel
Glock 22 "40 cal"
- Glock is one of the ugliest guns but I've never had one single issue with mine, and shoot about a 5" grouping at 50 yards.
-
Oh, and I'll have the sweetest gun "in my opinion" on this thread next week lol 😛
-
Thought I would share 2 of mine.
New carry one is a Glock 23 .40
Old carry is a Ruger P90 th 45

Absolutely as far as the "looks" go but the function speaks for itself. From your grouping, do you shoot a Weaver stance or modified Weaver by chance? I used to shoot/prefer modified Weaver but have since gone to an isosceles stance after a training I attended; pretty sure it was with Yavapai Firearms in Arizona but I could be wrong...either them or Gunsite Academy, I can't remember for sure. Anyway, my point is the grip angle on the Glocks was designed to align the bore axis with your arms/wrists as they would be presented when shooting the isosceles stance. Something about the grip angle matching how the bones in your arms/wrists lock when you shoot that form, with the strong hand wrist slightly canted down and the support hand wrist following suit...I don't know if there's any truth to it or not but we were hitting 8" steel plates at 100 yards from the prone with handguns, so the guy teaching it might have known what he was talking about, lol!

I Googled that knife and while the price isn't cheap, quality never is. That thing is SAAAA-WEET! and thank you for steering me to my Christmas present, lol!
CZ's are fine guns in and of themselves, absolutely. I'd put them on par with Sigs, in my opinion, as far as their functionality and how they handle. However, like you said, if I could only own one gun for the rest of my days (yeah, right! It'll never be "just one", lol!), it would be a Glock. Ugly, no frills but a purpose-built piece of hardware that I would trust my life to so long as I did my part.

I can't complain with my Glock, I've come to love it. I shoot Isosceles...basically you're square to the target. Our firearms instructor will take a baby glock and shoot 100 yards away hitting a 10" circle....upside down. It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life.
-
That's awesome! Our instructor is a joke: a "dynamic" training consist of shooting paper targets in a NRA PPC course and when the paper flies off the backer board, that's "dynamic", lol! Luckily the sheriff's department in my county has some A+ guys on their staff who know their stuff and let those of us who want to, train with them. A box of ammo is cheap, considering...& thankfully my wife seems to like me so she doesn't mind when I drop serious money on off-site trainings a few times a year.

Beretta is not made by Taurus. Beretta started in Italy and Taurus is made in Brazil. I would not worry about it being a Taurus, it could be a HiPoint , absolute junk.
Them saying "limp wrist" is not trying to put you down. It is when a person shooting a pistol allows to much movement in the wrist while shooting a semi auto and causes a jam by interrupting the proper recoil cycle on the pistol. This is usually caused by having a limp wrist and that's where you get the term.
I would suggest you find a smaller caliber that you can control better. You will find yourself to be a better shot and be much safer in the event you actually need to defend yourself.
A well placed shot with a smaller caliber is better than any large caliber miss.
I love a girl with a gun, I wish I could get my fiance interested. Doesn't share my interest in snakes or guns.
I have more guns than I have fingers and toes. I wonder if that pink S&W 22 would perk her interest, if not I may look a bit odd shooting it. May have to go shopping.
As far as stance.
Isosceles is better so your body armor faces the threat. I even prefer this for shooting my long guns. Makes it easier to scan for your next threat and address it.

pssstt ;) I know where they are made and you better look again, Taurus OWNS the Beretta factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is the location Baretta built to start the 92F models for a contract with the Brazilian Army. After that contract ran out they got in bed with Taurus. Yes Beretta has their own plant in Italy and there are firearms that they do not share with Taurus (mainly shotguns) but reguardless of that, Why do you think they have mate guns on just about every small arms model;):confusd:

You two are lucky, then. My father in law's C9 seems to jam roughly once per magazine, and it's not the only example I've heard of that is like that. Even if that wasn't the case, there seem to be a lot of objectively better options in the pistol world; there are a lot of guns that are lighter, slimmer, and carry more rounds, along with being produced by companies with a better reputation for reliability. The main advantage of the Hi-Point guns seems to be price, and in the long run, that's minor compared to ammo anyway, even if you reload.

I was trying to find a pic of us shooting my husband's Cetme but I think I lost them when I changed phones.. I'll try to find another..
As for glocks my husband was pleasantly surprised with his service glock.
For pistols, We recently traded in our xd for a Beretta for his backup. And I carry a bersa 380. I love it because it's a great shot and It's very concealable...

I prefer a gun that works more than just at the range.
I saw a HiPoint that was used to hit a man in the face. The pistol broke into a thousand pieces. It was insane. The gun was everywhere and the guy only had a busted lip. I stand by, they are junk.
And yes Beretta may be the parent company but they are not made to the same standards. Taurus has come up over the years but a Beretta it is not. Just because they have the same owner does not make them the same.
