Feeding the Beast

Buying one is only half the battle. Keeping it fed is the other half.

As I am now finding. I gotta go make a sign now. "Will work for ammo."

 

[jar]

Got this from TonyDedo. (Thanks again!)

Cool. I love my hi-power. Is that a 9 or a 40? It looks strange to me with adjustable sights on it. How do you like that grip? The first thing I did when I got mine was swap the factory plastic grips for wood.

This last weekend I took my new S&W 340PD to the range for the first time. I had heard about these little monsters, but I have never feared recoil. I love big bore revolvers that go BANG! I hate the 340PD. It hurts to shoot it. I found rapid follow up shots all but impossible. I do not care how easy it is to carry, it is not for me. I like a steel frame gun. I immediately went back to my old battered S&W model 36.

So in the state of mind described above I happened to visit my local Collector's yesterday and made a find. It is a Colt Lawman Mk III .357 mag. made in 1971. There is slight holster wear on the barrel, but overall it is quite nice and very tight. Now THAT is a snubby!

Freaking SWEET!!!!

Picked up a used Canadian Police Sig P228 with 2 pre-ban mags last night from Armor Arms. Sorry for the crappy pics, I shot them with my phone this morning as I was running out the door.

My latest: 1998 USP 45 from Zero Hour. ANIB with two mags. Marc was great, as usual. I never walk out of that shop without learning something cool.

Thanks,
Chris

Ranger-7

Enjoy that USP, It was always was a very acurate gun (and I mean that exact gun).

P220 is a damn fine first gun. Enjoy it and welcome aboard.

9mm. The grip is nice for the range. Too sticky for carry.
I had adjustables on my 1970's Silver Chrome H-P.
Someday I am going to hunt down an FN H-P with fixed sights.

Nice!! That's a very nice pistol. My first was a full size Sig also, but 9mm not .45

Picked this up last Thursday night at Four Seasons. Ruger P345

Remington 700P Super Sniper scope

 

[editor7]

I just ordered this today. I took a hard look at it last week at the Outdoor Expo in Worcester, and thought it was a lot nicer than I imagined. The scandium frame (with a SS cylinder) should make it nice to carry. I've never carried a revolver before, so it will be a nice change of pace.


M&P340CT .357 Magnum

BTW, it's not my picture. I just grabbed it off the S&W site.

 

[tele_mark]

You're going to love it! I'm in love with mine, and shooting magnums in it is almost too much damn fun!

 

[SKS Ray]

Remington 700P Super Sniper scope

Nice set up! Did the Remington come from Four Seasons too? If so how much was it?

 

[Mattyb]

Yes it did. I actually got it early January as a Xmas present for myself. I paid $862. With tax, I think it was just under $900.

 

[lemonlime571]

Not a gun, but it's oh so nice........

 

[Patriot]

Picked this up at the BR&P Swap last week...

 

[jpdopes]

This is the S&W 19-3 I bought from MikeD last week. Before and after pictures for your viewing pleasure. I'm not a fan of rubber grips.

 

[z0mbi]

Picked up a Sig Mosquito .22lr at Bass Pro on Saturday. Haven't shot it yet, the target is from one of my other guns.

 

[tele_mark]

That's gotta be one of the coolest-looking .22's ever.

 

[EddieCoyle]

I got a new one:

I went to Bass Pro with the intent of bringing home a mosquito today...the salesman "threw it under the bus"...please let us know how it shoots.

 

[IPSC_DRL]

Did the salesman offer an alternative?

Many people like to throw the Mosquito under the bus and most of them have had zero experience with the gun. I too heard all the negative things about the Sig mosquito but still bought one and can say nothing but positive things about them. I love mine and it runs all the cheap remington walmart ammo i put through it.

 

[Feral]

Did the salesman offer an alternative?

he suggested the s&w 22a and the ruger mark 3... to myself and the person next to me who was also thinking of buying the sig

he talked about using only a particular cci ammo and to expect misfeeds for the first 500 rounds ...i tuned out after that...

 

[z0mbi]

When I bought my RugerMKIII I was initially looking at the Mosquito. The salesman at the shop I went to also 'threw the Mostquito under the bus' and suggested the MKIII. I haven't been too happy with the MKIII so I figured I'd give the Mosquito the ol' college try.
