Did they quit making these?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

1911 is the only way to go!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Great price for that Python! One of the best looking guns out there.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Absolutely :tu

Nice pick ups guys :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The guys at Gander Moutain in Knoxville offered me $650 for the Python. Guess I will wait until the next gun show to see what she brings.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Finally got around at posting my M&P 40....

Love the TEC! Just looks soo nasty, lol

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone have a used long range scope they are not using anymore? Drop me a PM if you're interested in selling/trading it. :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Bump for the firearm thread. :gn

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone got anything new or working on anything?

I ordered some goods this past week and now it's the waiting game....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Got 3 AR lowers coming in tomorrow supposedly from the Fathers Day sale. A threaded barrel should be here Saturday for the XD. yesterday picked up an AR7 survivalist just because the price was right, more of a novelty item I think, feels cheap, but a 22 plinker. Next week I should have the Ti-rant 45 take down tool in.

Re: First Firearm Thread.

I still need something to carry...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Very Nice Tim, but why do you still need something to carry? Put either of those in a Crossbreed Holster and your carry problem is solved.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

RX2010 Can you post a picture of the rear site on your 1911. Im wanting a differnet one for mine.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

would I be able to reasonably conceal those in shorts and a t-shirt?

well, I bought the 1911 for shooting at the range, it's way to heavy to carry

The XD is possible, but it's a bit large as well. I was thinking about a Glock 23 (gen 4) to carry, but really, something a little smaller would be better. It's hot here

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'll put one up tonight

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I carry an XD45C or the XD40SC everyday in a Crossbreed Supertuck with jeans and a t-shirt or shorts and a t-shirt in the summer.

Check them out http://crossbreedholsters.com/

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'll check it out :tu

of course, it's 105 here when it's 65 in your neighborhood

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks that the factory rear site on that model right.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

yes, adjustable

I've not shot it yet, but I haven't shot a pistol without night sights in some time. I may need to put a white dot or something on the front sight, but we'll see

I might end up liking it better

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ordered some goodies and they all arrived this past week. Waiting for the shop to call and say my rifle is ready to be picked up. Getting pretty excited about putting this all together and shooting it. :noon

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...s/IMG_0583.jpg

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hurry up and get to the range! I thought about painting my front sight on my RO as well, however when I took it to the range I didn't have any problems seeing it. Though I'm sure that all depends on what color your targets are.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My G23 is my normal carry gun and it's not very hard to conceal with a t-shirt, darker colors will also help break it up. You could go the next size down and get something like a G27.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Here's an old photo of some of mine.

http://pic.phyrefile.com/b/bl/blind_...8/img0527q.jpg

I've added a few to the collection since then, including one of these:
http://pic.phyrefile.com/b/bl/blind_.../main-1765.jpg

Also a Mosin Nagant and a Remington .22 semiauto rifle.

I'll see about getting some photos of the complete collection, I have them around here somewhere.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'm going friday with some friends, I'd like to put 150 or so rounds through it, as well as shoot my XD one more time and decide if it's a keeper or I need to sell it.

I may just go for something like a smaller kel-tec to carry, like the PF9

I can get one for about $240 out the door

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My newest. Lots of folks seem to hate the Browning BDM, I love it.

http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/m...wningBDM_R.jpg

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Tim I may suggest if the XD feels weird to you sell it off. I know a number of people who have picked up XD's, put a couple hundred down range with it, then it becomes a safe queen because of the feel.

If you want something nice and trustworthy to carry I would suggest a S&W-M&P9 compact, or the 40 if you like 40 cal. Hell you can even go .357 compact in the M&P line.

:noon:noon:noon

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Friend of mine had to be first kid on the block to get a Kimber Solo 9mm. So far it's been a real disappointment. Will not work with 115 grain ammo at all, you must go to 124 or 147 gr. for functioning. My buddy's Solo has additional feeding issues, it's been back to Kimber TWICE already and still, no joy.

Hopefully this particular handgun is an anomoly but somehow it doesn't seem like it. Kinda reminds me of the old Seecamp .32 acp semiauto--they only worked right with Winchester Silvertips, everything else was a gamble.

While I can appreciate the idea of a gun being sorta "specialized"--in the case of the Solo, for self defense--if it's finicky or requires expensive ammo, who's going to fire one of them enough to be competent with the thing?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Want it...got it, want it...got it, want it...got it...10x over!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone know of any dealers with a Glock 24 in stock? I had one located a couple weeks ago but bought a Range Officer instead. Now I forget which dealer it was and haven't had any luck with google searches. Any help would be appreciated!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Try Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, GA. They have been good for tracking down specific guns for a friend of mine...though I have no first hand experience other than buying shells there.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Very nice! Similar to what I'm in the process of puting together. What scope are you using?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

damn Shawn, nice pea shooter.....whats the scope power?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My Kimber Solo went back to the shop twice for multiple problems. It's been replaced but I've yet to fire it. My view is Kimber pushed the design to the limit. Any limp wrist, weak ammo, etc. and you have problems. Mine had FTE issues even with ammo that's on the Kimber bullet list.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

might be going to the 100 yd range near Orlando on the 9th.....Jon got a R700 left bolt

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'll be heading to Manatee on the 9th for a little distance shooting.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'll be doing the same next weekend Shawn...1000yrd Regional out in Pa...8,9,10th

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just got a call from the gun shop saying my rifle was in. :banger

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

cool

lets see some pics when you get the new rifle home

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You're competing for real @ 1000 yds. I'm playing with 8" plates @ 1000 yds....LOL. GOOD LUCK with the competition.

What are you shooting? I'm still toying with 175 gr .308 loads and am pretty consistent with 10" steel. 8" is 'hit or miss'. I can't keep the .308 supersonic and it's always moving a bit. Even more so when it gets Florida hot.

I'm interested in building a .338 'something'

When are you heading back this way again?

My range is only about 2.5 hrs south of Brent's place.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Picked up my rifle at lunch today and put what I had on it after work today. Still waiting on the titanium can to be made and I have to drop the rifle off to be threaded next week. Last thing I want to order is a good cheek rest. Here's what it looks like right now. Factory test firing produced a .24 group with 3 shots.
