Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Black rifle, with alot of hi caps.

Many more hi caps for my G22, and will decide on G23 hi caps before I purchase it.

Going to be expensive real fast now.

Shot my buddies AR-15 today. Man, that was fun. First time. Still getting used to my LC9. Love that little gun.

Steve
If thinking about buying, Really check ballistics of the .460 mag. I wanted a big bore for bears while riding my ATV and I chose (and love) the 460 over the 500
:2
Huge difference there man....Grab a Nagant for 80-150 bucks and some ammo (also cheap) and have a blast! Then work to the M1 (well over 1k usually).:2

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Did you look at ammo prices?:O

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Steve, if you move forward into this area of handguns, you may want to research the following web page and gunsmith:

http://www.customsixguns.com/

I'd originally read about these calibers back in the late 80's, and I was trying to remember if it was in Shooting Times magazine or another periodical that first wrote about the .500 and .475 Linebaugh revolvers. They are both very impressive and powerful handguns. Most people at the time (including yours truly) handloaded our own rounds for our various calibers. Don't know if there are commercial loads for the Linebaugh as there may be for the Smith .500.

Anyways, there are quite a number of articles out there on the Linebaugh worth perusing if you're planning on adding this piece to your collection...:tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Another reason to go .460, Hornady, the round the gun was made for can be found for around 30 a box while the cheapest .500 stuff I have found is 45+

Hornady 200 grain FTX 2,200 FPS

I have mustered 7" groups at 100 Yds open sights and 5" groups when I had mine scoped, I personally think thats damn good from a hand gun.:2

The 460 also will shoot 454 casull (SP?) and 45 long colt.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:tu
I have no need for a handgun that big lol.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sorry guys, I said I LOOKED...

I have no need of a pistol that powerful...If I need something that big I'll grab one of my rifles :)

Back when the Casull came out, I shot one of those...ouch!

BTW, the bullets look like lipstick tubes!

Re: First Firearm Thread.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:sl stop saying that! You got your normal capacity mags. The other mags are low-cap :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sorry nasty habit I have of placating the anti gun crowd.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Well got my 3 30 round gen 3 pmags today. I like the grip compared to the gen 2 but the removable feedlip cover does not lock onto the bottom like the gen 2

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone know much about the Ruger Mini 14? I have shot one before and thought it was pretty decent... but I just saw one in the pawn shop today at a "good" price (I think)...

Tactical Model:
