Off Season Lets Talk Guns

[HonestChieffan]

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.


Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?



Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

Was planning to try to pick up an XD in .40 cal, but just traded an old Colt .357 Trooper Mk III 8" straight across for a Sig 250 Compact with both .40 and .357 modules.

It's just a matter of time. Bud's is dropping prices on several different models, too. I'll get one at some point next month.

Nobody has any good gun stories lately?

I'm trying to sell a pistol, is it safe to put it in the local classifieds? I don't want to sell it to someone I don't know, they could be a felon, etc.

If we can sell the gun, we are upgrading to a Smith and Wesson M&P 40 and getting my wife a Smith and Wesson SD 40.

To purchase a hand gun hear in Nebraska. One needs a Nebraska hand gun purchase permit. That can only be obtained at the local sheriffs department.
Not sure what your laws are in Oklahoma, but your local sheriffs department can tell you what you need to obtain from a potential buyer.

PS yes I have a new bad! story. My 1847 Colt Walker had a chain fire, Memorial weekend. First chain fire ever. 1000s & 1000s of rounds shot out of my black powder revolvers. This is the first chain fire. I think a spark made its way to a cap on the nipple & set off the first chamber to the left. knocked the wedge lose & scared the hell out of me. Lesson learned? dont put # 11 caps on #10 nipples.

It's a good thing I work for the sheriffs department. I'll ask my boss on monday.

I'm assuming the Sheriffs department would run a background check on the guy before giving the buyer a permit?

Up here, that is exactly what it is. a back ground check.

Still haven't got the XDM. Perhaps the end of the month.

I did finally get a 5X magnifier and the appropriate flip-to-the-side mount to work with my Lucid sight. Not sure when I'm going to get to a range again, though. I've got a wedding to go to tomorrow and the weather's supposed to suck all weekend long anyway.

Well, it doesn't look like they need a permit. I just have to make a receipt showing transfer.

I was talking to a range instructor yesterday and he was saying many of departments are switching to the Smith and Wesson M&P from the Glock, saying they are more accurate than the Glock.

Side note: most accurate handgun I've shot so far was the XD40.

I shot a Desert Eagle for the first time Memorial weekend.in 357 mag.
Taurus judge in 45 long colt-410 buck shot, nice HD gun for a lady
A micro desert eagle in 380. very uncomfortable. just to lil.
The 357 D-eagle was out standing on clay targets out past 75 yards. quick on follow up shots
Would really like to own one some day.

[Dunit35]

I could have and should have shot a full auto 1928 Thompson and MP40 yesterday.

$20 rental
$15 a 50 rnd box ammo.

I could have burned through a hundred dollars in seconds.

I finally went out and bought the XD-9 a couple weeks ago. The M (match) model looks a little too aggressive for my taste, although the nicer trigger and match bbl would be nice. Shoots real nice. I scored a Lasermax guide rod laser for it on Ebay for 88 bucks shipped (open box item) and a set of used Trijicon night sights for 43 bucks that the gunsmith is putting on for me right now. He said I may get it back within a couple weeks; he was cranking out a shitload of Uzi barrels when I dropped it off, said he was a few months behind and he'd get to it when he had a chance. I may fire him and pick it up early and have the sights mounted somewhere else because I didn't get a chance to shoot it with the new laser. I figure I'm already ahead of the game as far as upgrades go.

You should have fired both.
the mp40 is actually a very good weapon it has enough barrel length the let the 9mm develop velocity that makes it an adequate caliber, if you ever have the chance to fire a Swedish K, do so you'll like it.
The thompson is the ONE. Nothing better for short range max firepower. CQB or heavy foilage there is nothing better. Be prepaed though even with a compensator she'll beat you up if you don't control your ROF.

Yeah, I kick myself for not spending the money.

If everything goes right with my wifes credentials (military, illegal to photocopy her ID). We are hoping budspolicesupply accepts her earnings statement and military email address as credentials. On Monday We will be buying her a Smith and Wesson M&P9 and I will be buying myself a Smith and Wesson M&P 40 pro for an on duty weapon. Mine already has night sights and hers has a front night sight.

Together, the guns will cost around $970 from buds. Her military discount saves us around $120. With the selling of 2 guns, rebates and money I already had tucked away for this we will only have to cut a check for $136. Pretty badass. Hoping it works out.
