I'd love to pick up a 1911, but options are limited here.

I'm in NJ. I got it from a vendor I deal with at work a couple of years ago. One of those once in a lifetime deals you just can't pass on.

Just bought me a Ruger LCP .380

I have wanted one for a while and just decided to buy one on the spot while looking for a holster for another gun. I love the LCP because it is so compact it's like you don't even notice you're carrying it. I'm finding myself not carrying more and more because it's not comfortable to do so...and that's not good. I know it's a smaller caliber but it's better than not carrying at all.

My next purchase is gonna be a nice .45. I would love a Kimber but also really like Glocks.....especially the price. We'll see. Anyways....this thread needed a bump

I was f'ing around with the camera today and took this shot that I really like.



This one is okay too.

I love those pictures

My new shotty. Mossy 590 A1 9 shot

I replaced the forend with an ATI forend/picatinny rail and attached a LED light.

Ordered a single-point sling from Wilderness

Last thing will be new ghost ring sights and I'm done with her.

Very nice Fred! Ghost rings will look great on that shotty!

Looking through these I got some ideas for pics.

[elderboy02]

Very nice Ryan! Which brand of AR is that? I can't tell if that is a 16 or 20" barrel. I am going to guess a 20". Also, is that a Hogue oversized rubber grip?

Is that a GLOCK 27?

Sorry, I re-sized the pics and they ended up smaller than I thought. It is a G19.
As far as the AR goes, it is something I put together. It is an LMT 16" carbine Upper, i then got an LMT lower, with their part kit. Kit included a two stage match trigger, and the Hogue grip. BCG is also LMT. The rail system is a MI extended carbine Free Float, and the BUIS is the MI same plane. Didn't intend it to basically an MI/LMT build, but those are the parts I got for the money. It is my baby, 1 MOA accurate.

VERY NICE! You can't go wrong with LMT

I'm looking at getting a tactical shotgun. I originally was looking at Remington 870's but recently have been looking at the Mossberg 500 Tactical Persuader. I can get one for around $450 through an online vendor.

What are you guys thoughts on this gun?

[floydpink]

I have the Mossberg 500 Cruiser and like the feel a lot although I have only shot it a few times.

It is mainly for home defense and looks very similar to this one.

I did a little gunsmithing a couple of weeks ago and made the annoying bolt release on the new 10/22 a proper auto release instead of a cumbersome 4 and a half finger operation. It made me happy.

I might have to do that to mine

Thanks for the idea.

[elderboy02]

Nice EBR, shotgun, and G19.

I too have a Glock and I trust my life with it. It is uber reliable.

Thank you... I have a few others that I didn't post up. The gun that I have the most fun with is my Mosin by far.

I've swapped the trigger in the G19. I put a G17 trigger with a smooth trigger face and a 3 1/2 lb connector. It takes a little of the sponginess out of it and helps it break a little better.

Extremely simple. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl2n7V0-ac4 essentially the process, you might want to turn the sound down, just the first one I grabbed on youtube.
