anyone going to SHOT next year?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I would like to, but I don't have a way of getting a pass. On AR15.com, they do a thread each year with pictures, etc.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks for the box of truth site im enjoying reading the stuff on there.

PS hopped on the list for the Speer Gold Dots. Estimated ship date 10/12/09

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yeah, I hate how ammo is on backorder.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Whats worse is my permit will be comming in the next 2 weeks. :(

There is a place down here in FL that cuts the 120 day wait period down to 14 days. Only issue is its about 2 hours away. But 4 hour drive is a hell of a lot better than 4 month wait. WOOT

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Dude just got my permit in the mail the other day, mine took about 75 days. Was glad to finally get it. Nice to know there's some 230 grain hp's ready to rock if the proverbial s**t should hit the fan. :banger

Taurus PT945 w/ Rosewood grips

Awesome! Nice pickup :banger

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That is the gun that all other guns hope to live up to. I have one with 3500 rounds through it and it hasn't been cleaned once. It's a Glock it doesn't need to be cleaned. I have never had a FTF, or a jam. It is a perfect machine in every way. It may not be the sexiest pistol but no other gun has my trust like that one does. It is the one that protects me and my family. :banger

Here we go!

I have more but here is a start

Here is my 30/40 Krag. Made in 1902. Got this from my dad for my 16th birthday. It will still take the head off a Zombie at 100 yards with iron sights.

This is my grandfathers 1930 1911A1. He gave it to me in the late 90s before he passed away.

There will be more. Lots more.......

Awesome man!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My S&W 5906 Hi Cap 9mm

This was the first handgun I bought. I have a 30 round clip for it too. Just in case the zombies invade. Very accurate and fun to shoot.

This was before I put the walnut grips on it. I have to take some new pics.

My Dad and I have matching Nagant Revolvers. His is the 1938 mine is the 1939. For christmas 2 years ago he got me one and himself one.

There are more hiding in the safe......

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That is awesome. I want a 1911, but to have it from your grandfather makes it that much better.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Is that PA63 C&R license eligible?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yes. It is great to have the connection to him. I have my own 1911 for shooting. I keeps Grandpa's in the safe.

My Dad also has his 1911. He built it from parts from the frame up. He wanted to build it to understand every single part and how it works. took him about 6 months in his spare time. He has already told me I will get that one too someday. One from each generation to pass to my kids (whenever I get around to making some Kids).

PA63 is not C&R eligible unfortunately.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

New parts for the 10/22- Green Mountain bull barrel and a left handed Yukon stock. Needs new scope rings now though.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I received my permit to carry after only 4 buisness days following turning in my paperwork! Score! 4 days sure beats 4 months.

I also finally found the components I need to start reloading. I will be taking lots and lots of notes.

I will be reloading 9mm with 124grain Speer hollow points and bullseye powder. Everything will be checked and double checked since this will be my first round of reloads :wo!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Awesome! Congratulations! :banger
