Guns: Long Arms, Side Arms, Shotguns, Etc...(not "gat's")

Well, I went and shot my dream gun earlier. It was a .45 1911 Kimber custom shop. Z, you mentioned earlier in the thread about the higher caliber being hell and you couldnt have been more right. I loved the gun itself but shooting a .45 isn't near as much fun as shooting a lesser caliber. With my 21st coming up I'm going to try to find a nice pistol to buy. This is the only picture I managed to get.

Told ya.

I actually like a .45. But that's just me. Bang for the buck you can't go wrong with a glock.

Bill, at first glance it looked like you were holding that girl hostage, lol. Good to see you back man.

This reminds me of the guns I still have. They're currently being held at a family friend's place, but I kind of want them back. The problem is my step-dad wants nothing to do with them, even though they're completely harmless without ammunition. So they aren't allowed in the house. It's kind of hard to hide an AR-15.

To be honest though, I don't want to touch any of the guns until I've taken the proper classes. It'd be stupid to do it otherwise. I don't want to break a gun lol.

You can take classes from Skippy.

Don't take lessons from JT.

Haha no. I think I would be in trouble if I were to try. Her gun is a bit bigger. It's good to be back. You need to get those guns out! Especially the AR. I'm convinced there's not a funner gun out there. .223 rounds get expensive though.

I learned to shoot with a 9mm glock. Its a great gun as well. There is just something that sets the Kimber apart that I like. I'll probably end up with a 9mm Kimber.

[CrackerTeg]

Haha, why not?

Because its JT. Duh.

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

Yeah, I really want to get used to these guns. However, I'm thinking about retiring the Colt King Cobra, because it was my dad's pride and joy. I want to keep in as best condition as possible.

However, I do want to shoot the S&W .44 magnum. It has a fucking scope on it! Not really sure why my dad put one on. It may have been used for hunting.

Lol i dont need lessons..... I have more than enough practice from the army lol

[CrackerTeg]

I didn't mean you. Duh.

I've been looking at a kimber myself...  Either a kimber or a sig sauer or Springfield 1911. If I'm not mistaken the sig sauer 1911 won the best modern 1911 award last year for the 100th anniversary guns.com did.

I've been wanting a Kimber 1911 for a while now, so I think I'm finally going to stop being lazy about taking the test for the Handgun Safety Certificate.

I haven't shot one yet; I actually haven't shot a handgun yet at all.  Some friends have offered to teach me the ropes, so I think I'm going to finally take them up on that offer.  A couple of them have even offered to let me try shooting their 1911, so I plan to give it a try and figure out if its something I really want.

I don't know if I'll be getting the 1911 as my first gun as I definitely don't plan to use it as an everyday carry.  I'm looking into possibly getting a 9mm Glock for that.
