Went down to LAPD with the old man so he could pick up another Glock. We now have a full family of .40's

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Very nice! May I ask why you put those gun locks on your rifles?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

We'd need to find an outdoor 100-300 yd range. We can call it the BAD ASHE Herf and Shoot. I'll bring some "interesting" fire power. We can chip in for bulk ammo.

Brents place would be great if we could light it up.

You're always welcome to come to my place to Herf. We'd get arrested for shooting downtown though.

Slows down thieves and sticky fingered children.

Since we moved, I've stored the majority of the rifles. The Man Cave, is now the "mini" Man Cave.

Sort of a Green Acers in reverse move.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I see! I keep mine in a safe. I never used the locks as I figured that if I needed to use a rifle around the house, I don't want to be messing around with taking a lock off.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Safety? :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

OK, here goes my sales person schpeel. Go to a range with some buddies, or a take a class and learn how to shoot, I prefer taking a class. Once you learn your safety and fundamentals try out a few different guns and see what works best for you. All the firearms here that were mentioned are all good, but if you do not feel comfortable shooting one, what good does it do for you?

I've told this story before and it's worth mentioning again. I have seen two people walk into a gun store/range, both wanting to buy and rent glocks because of what they have seen and heard. They went to the range and tried a few different firearms; one ended up buying the Glock, the other a Sig.

Each person is going to be different. I'm a Sig guy, because I shoot better with them and they feel better in my hand. Do I own Glocks HELL YES, they are great firearms, but they don't feel good in my hand.

With all that said I use a Smith and Wesson 686 at home.

IF you get your hands on an HK45, not the USP, and you don't like it let me know :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

when I get back from vacation, we'll have to set something up for a smoke or two

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

There are too many for safes. That's not all of them. The room/basement (old home) that they were in was secure and alarmed.

I keep a .38 snub, Moss 590, and Glock 22 by the bed for "just" those special occasions.

Now that I live in the city, the Man Cave is now the mini Man Cave and 95% of my collection is in secure packed long term storage.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yes we do. We need to hit the range and shoot the BAR. Plus I have two ARs that I need to get on paper @ 100 and 200

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Shawn, any ranges down your way to reach out to 600 or 1000yrds ??

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not that I know of

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

So what kinda distances do your ranges stretch out to..only 100 or 200??

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

range im a member of is talking about putting in a 600 yard range

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The range I'll be at tomorrow is a 600 Yrd range but we have two that go to 1000...They are a bit of a drive to get to so when we go its an early all day event!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I've only shot indoors here. I've not had the time since I've moved to find a new range home. There has to be a range out too at least 200 yds within 50 miles though.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That sucks Shawn..well get you azz up here and you can go in the morning :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Down here in Sarasota there is one ~1000Yds. Its prety cool but the owners are asshoIes.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
