Everything is fine, people... go back to sleep.

I have a Charter Pink Lady 38
Have been to the range with it about 5 times. Going to get my CC when I get my confidence in shooting up. I can hit the target, but not like I want to do yet |
Ok time for some gun hotness....

Actually the saiga-12 is pretty easy to get in most states I've thought about getting one, but I'm not quite enough of a fan yet. Just need to get an SBS stamp to get that gun(with the short barrel) |
More shotgun porn I'd be all over it except I'm kinda waiting to see if they'll bring a semi version out.

My son just purchased an M16 Airsoft Rifle, from the 16-A Welll Airpistol Series. It is an all plastic gun. My issue is I can't figure out how to load the magazine, it is a spring. (leave out the girl jokes...lol) I have spent an hour looking on line and have become frustrated with the process.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out. My son is driving me nuts whining about me not be able to figure it out, also. Save a kid and please help!!! :D |
Sorry, dear. I can break down my Ruger in about seven seconds, but I'm afraid Airsoft rifles are beyond my area of expertise. :D

I've always carried 1911's and switching to the 745 took some getting used to. It shoots fine, but the trigger feels mushy. The first couple times I shot it I thought I might have left the safety on. But it wasn't. It needs some work to get to my liking. Good luck. |

Anyone ever shoot a Steyr Scout Rifle? I've always wanted to but no one I know owns one and they run about $2000 a pop so it's not exactly cash I'm willing to drop for something that's going to sit in the gun cabinet 99% of the year.
Just curious if they lived up to their reputation. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...f/Scout-1-.gif |

Pretty big...Not sure Id even want to carry to the range but interesting anyway:
http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/p...un-lg-1-de.jpg In the 1971 movie "Dirty Harry," actor Clint Eastwood introduced the world to the double-action Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44-cal. Magnum revolver—"the most powerful handgun in the world." It was a crown S&W wore proudly, albeit briefly. The rising popularity of handgun hunting for big game (spurred largely by the .44 Magnum itself) prompted the introduction of newer and significantly more powerful revolver cartridges. Many powerful enough that they had to be chambered in single-action handguns because existing double-action designs could not contain the recoil forces and pressures they produced. Since S&W does not make single-action revolvers, and no double-action frame at its disposal could handle the new loads, S&W was effectively dethroned. At the 2003 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show, the manufacturer regained its crown. And, most significantly, it did it by introducing a new massive double-action revolver that is chambered for an equally new .50-cal. cartridge. The S&W X-frame Model 500 is a brawny handgun designed to master the most rigorous hunting fields in the world. It is not a revolver one would, or likely could, tuck into a waistband. In fact, to call it massive is an understatement. With its 8-3/8-in. barrel, the overall length of the Model 500 is 15 in. and the empty weight is 4.5 pounds. The cylinder alone is almost 2 in. in diameter and approaches 2.25 in. in length. Thumb the cylinder open and five charge holes await. Each is 1/2 in. in diameter, and the .50-cal. cartridges they hold are almost 2 in. long. Load five of them and the total weight of the handgun climbs to 5 pounds. You don't just casually pick up a Model 500. You have to lift it. Fire even one of those big cartridges and you'll appreciate why the weight and mass are there. When the .44 Magnum laid claim to being the most powerful handgun in the world, its standard load produced about 900 ft.-lb. of muzzle energy. Several new loads have since eclipsed that, but the handgun most commonly used by big game hunters is the .454 Casull, which will generate about 1900 ft.-lb. The 500 S&W Magnum will produce almost 2600 ft.-lb. with its heaviest load, and more powerful loads may well be on the way. If Dirty Harry felt that the .44 Magnum would make his day, the new 500 S&W Magnum would certainly make his decade. It is the largest double-action revolver available, and there is no production revolver in the world—single or double action—capable of matching, or even approaching, the level of power it produces. Harnessing that power in a double-action revolver, however, required some departures from traditional designs. Rethinking Double-Action Design No frame in the S&W line was capable of containing the 500 Magnum, so the new X-frame was designed specifically for the 500's .50-cal. cartridge. It is massive. But, just making a bigger double-action revolver was not the solution. A major concern was the barrel-to-frame connection. This is traditionally done by simply screwing the barrel into the front of the frame, but this design places all firing stress at that one point. To increase strength throughout the 500's barrel assembly, S&W opted for a composite barrel/shroud system. A stainless steel barrel tube is torqued into the frame to form a solid rear attachment point. A separate, heavy stainless steel shroud is then slipped over the barrel and braced against the forward portion of the frame. The muzzle end of the barrel bears against the forward end of the shroud, and a separate compensator/muzzle brake is then rotated into place under torque at the muzzle end of the shroud. This arrangement compresses the shroud and places the barrel tube under tension for its entire length. In effect, the barrel and shroud act as linear springs to distribute the stress of firing across the entire barrel/shroud component instead of focusing it all at the single junction of the barrel and frame. Maintaining precise cylinder alignment was another concern. Traditional designs utilize a front- and rear-cylinder lockup, with the forward end of the ejector rod bearing against a ball-detent fixture on the barrel to provide the front lockup. Given the power of the 500 Magnum, the potential for flex in the ejector rod had to be addressed. The solution was to dispense with that design and install a massive ball-detent lock on the frame itself, directly below the barrel forcing cone. This mates with the yoke to provide a solid front lockup directly at the front of the cylinder. Combined with the traditional rear lockup, this is the strongest cylinder alignment design possible. While the 500 S&W Magnum answers the question of "where's the beef?" the company wisely decided to incorporate the same grip dimensions found on its much smaller K-frame handguns. Experienced handgunners regard this as one of the best handgun grips ever made. Thus, the 500 Magnum is a big revolver that's strong where it needs to be, but is comfortable to handle. That was borne out during firing tests. SPECIFICATIONS: 500 S&W Magnum Caliber: .500 S&W Magnum Barrel: 8-3/8 in.

I traded my Glock 26 for it about a year ago, and I may be able to get that back since the guy I traded with is one of my best friends and has several guns and doesn't seem to care. I probably got a bit hosed on that deal anyway. If I get the Glock back, I can probably sell it to the dealer and get most of the price of the Taurus in trade. |
Still have the same 12 i had 15 years ago. It still goes BOOM!

I will admit though, I was watching a on Outdoor Channel and saw a guy pull off a 100 yard shot with a 9mm, looked similar to a Ruger P90. That’s something that a .45 ACP just flat won’t do. In fact once past about 50 yards you might as well pull the bullets out of the magazine and throw them, you’ll get them just about as far, but up close few handguns can surpass its knockdown power.

If you just want a laser site check out Crimson Trace. Nice little laser built right into the grips so you don’t need a special holster to carry it. |
I've already got a nice Veridian light/green laser for my Ruger (picture's in post 145). I need to sight that in at the range tomorrow. Not sure if I'd pick up a second one for a new .45 or just switch the laser between pistols, but I'd like to have the option.

http://www.realguns.com/articles/275.htm http://www.realguns.com/images/newprodinprocessLG.jpg Smith & Weston's .410 Double Trouble Autoloader New for 2011 - A RealGuns' Exclusive By Joe D'Alessandro Editor | RealGuns.Com * With Taurus, Magnum Research and Bond Arms working hard to keep up with rapidly growing concealed carry .410 shotshell revolver demand, it was only a matter of time before market savvy Smith & Weston weighed in with a signature product for 1911 type autoloader fans. * Dubbed "Double Trouble" this unique autoloader holds eight rounds .45 Colt or 2½" or 3" .410 gauge, shot or slug ammo. The standard DT is supplied with smooth bore barrels and five interchangeable chokes. The DT may also be ordered with a rifled, or a smooth bore - rifled combination barrels. * Manufacturer Smith & Weston Model 1911 DTA Country of Origin Grand Fenwick Type Action 1911 Single Action Frame & Slide Alloy Steel Finish Matte Blue - Walnut Grips Caliber .45 Colt - 410 Shotshell Capacity 8+2 Barrel Length 5" Twist 1:51 Weight 116.2 oz Overall Length 12" Overall Height 10" Fixed Sights Three Dot - Tritium Trigger Pull 3 lbs 16.4 oz MSRP $2699 Discount Retail $1985 Included Accessories: Hard Case, 2 8 shot magazines, gun lock, manual, and duck call SDF® & PAFCDS® When asked about applications for this new burst of fire power, Warren Whippet, S&W's VP of Sales and Markup said, "We see this as a tactical weapon for those situations where you want to lay down some serious fire, then get the hell out of there. Sort of like carpet bombing with a handgun, but without the turbine engine noise, flight suits or a large carbon foot print. The DT is a very green weapons system. Yes, very green indeed". The DT is the first member of a family of products to be built on S&W's new large Y series autoloader frame. When asked about the "Y" designation, Patrician Pedelunker, S&W's VP of Product Names and Employee Parking Space Assignments told us, "We were eighteen hours into a marathon frame naming session. Several people had fallen asleep, one guy confessed to stealing Post-Its and we discovered a recent hire to the marketing department could speak only French...which probably explains why she kept blurting out "Où sont les toilettes?". We finally elected to name the frame based on the question everyone asked the moment they saw the prototype". The Double Trouble® design incorporates Simultaneous Double* Fire® capability. According to G. Gas Rhonda, S&W's Director of Advanced Gas Port Logistical Engineering, "The selective single trigger can be set to fire both barrels or, alternatively, either top of bottom, or bottom and top barrels individually. With chambers loaded, hammers are positioned cocked and carried locked. In speaking with S&W personnel, there was the hint of a decocker version of the DT being released in the very near future. A Passive Aggressive Fired Cartridge Detection System® took a little getting use to as it doesn't display any obvious signs of status or condition. The system will eject a fired cartridge, or a misfiring cartridge, however, it also can silently and arbitrarily undermine the gun's cartridge extraction system and leave the cartridge in place... or pack up and take the kids and move in with its mother while the DT is at work... trying to make a living for its family. The important thing is that all of the gun's systems have learned to get along harmoniously... for the sake of the chil...parts. Preproduction, but still pretty slick...We thought the dual ejection port was a stroke of genius. When asked about this feature,* C. Gas Rhonda, Smith and Weston's VP of Gas Logistics Management said, "We fired 100 rounds with the first prototype and noticed ejection of the lower barrel caused an accelerated unlock which left an impression on some of our testers... or as is technically referred to, an unanticipated and joyless ophryonic metallurgical intersection. We were further concerned that, and I apologize for the technical jargon, the original system would lead to the whole gun explodacatin'. We received lots of double takes at the range during our test firing session. In some ways the Double Trouble is very much a traditional 1911, in others, not so much. The three comments heard the most were, "Why the heck does it have two hammers?", "Why the heck does it have two ports?" and "Are you guys almost finished? We've been waiting for a bench for four hours?" We shot the Double Trouble with fixed sights, adjustable sights, laser sights, a scope and absolutely none of the systems resulted in sore eyes. Shooting 500 grain gas checked cast bullets, .45 Colt accuracy was exceptional with groups consistently under an inch at three hundred yards. Fifty yard yammer jammers were easy to hit but swinging bobcats at one hundred yards suggested just a touch of dominant eye cross parallax ventilation. Moving to the skeet range and 3" ¾ oz loads, flying vertical birdies were a snap, oscillating rollers were a challenge... which is almost always the case, but spinning flams is where the DT really shined where we were able to shoot a perfect 106¼. Trap shooting, however, had us hoping there was a pump action DT in S&W's future as Cheney shots are near impossible with an autoloader. All and all, we burned through 122,000 rounds of 410 gauge bird shot, slugs, 00 buck and hot loaded .45 Colt ammo. There was no hint of failure or hesitation and the gun maintained a high level of performance throughout. I only wish the gun had been supplied with an extra magazine as reloading became somewhat tedious. The DT magazine, show next to a conventional .45 ACP, reflects the proportions of the gun. Unable to locate an appropriate holster for the hunting segment of this evaluation we found that a BABYBJÖRN, and a little duct tape, worked perfectly with no signs of chafing. With modified chokes in place, the DT was fierce for use on grouse and Grand Banks Caiman. With full chokes in place, Canadian geese were easily within reach. Switching over to .45 Colt and rifled barrels, we were able to drop red tail, black tail, white tail, and high tailed deer competently.* Next month we are scheduled to carry the DT to Namibia where we will be hunting loxodonta africana, syncerus caffer, delphinus, and assorted peromyscus. Great sport and we'll report! Preliminary conclusions...We believe the Double Trouble® is spiffy, jiffy perhaps even nifty. A little larger than a full size 1911, the potential it brings more than makes up for its size. We believe the time has come for a large frame autoloading shot pistol. If it makes sense to carry a two pound six inch long derringer or a five pound foot long revolver for personal protection, who could argue with the need for an autoloader version of the same. The DT delivers greater capacity, rapid fire and reload capability and a presence that shouts, "Don't look down there, look over here". * * |

Yeah there's no way I could even hold that S&W 410 Auto. I have relatively small hands and a 45 double stack is too big let alone that bohemoth.

I'm looking for a gun that is fun to shoot at the range and offers good home protection.
I was thinking about purchasing this one: http://www.impactguns.com/store/706397877309.html The only down side I see is the extra safety on the grip. It just seems unnecessary. Thoughts? |

But I must say, I LOVE my new Ruger. Love it. Ran a couple of hundred rounds through it this afternoon. Very accurate, fun to shoot, light recoil. Magazines easy to load (actually easier to load manually than with the loader thing that came with it). The $10 rubber slip-on grip I added took care of all the grip issues - feels great in my hand. Trigger does have a bit of play, but once I got used to it it was no big deal. Easy to stage shots. Breaks down quickly and easily. For $300 (price at Buds and what I paid locally), you can't go wrong with this bad boy, IMO. :thumb: |
