Re: First Firearm Thread.
Great pic Alex. That is just as you described it to me. Beautiful.
Hal, I have had my Custom Stainless II since late 2002. I love that pistol. It is the full 5" model. I've even had a friend who shot it and shortly thereafter sold his Glock and bought Kimber. I know the two are apples to oranges, but he like it that much.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Last night was the night I hoped would never come; the first time I drew my firearm in self defense.
A family across the street has had numerous complaints about their aggressive pitbull who stays chained in the backyard in the Florida heat. At 9pm I was walking my 8 pound Shih Tzu and talking to my next door neighbor when the pitbull charged across the street, growling and showing his teeth. he took my dog in his mouth, flung it to the side and pinned my neighbor against his garge and continued to bark and growl. About the time I drew my firearm, the neighbor, who is handicapped, made it across the street and was able to pull the dog off. My dog seemed ok but the next door neighbor called the police and animal control. After filling out a report with my side of the story, it was determined that I would have been justified to take, "one clean shot" once the dog crossed the street onto my property. Thankfully, it ended without a shot and the pitbulls owner recived a fine.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Wow! ^^ One breed of dog that I will never understand. I have no use for them. Glad to hear your dog is ok. Tough call to make when you really want to TCB.
I live in a neighborhood where we have a leash law statewide. People seem to have a real problem and just let their dogs roam. It's annoying when your dogs are on a leash while others are tauting yours and being a nuisance. Keep telling myself to get pepper spray but I think it will only cause friction between me and the owners. |

Re: First Firearm Thread.
There was a little exchange between the pitbull owner and a few concerned neighbors. I felt it best to go inside and did.
Had it been my 5 year old in her bike being attacked, there would have been a pitbull being bagged up and carted away.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
I understand that breeds have traits but in all honesty a lot of it has to do with the owner. Where I live breeds like that are not allowed and its kinda nice knowing ill never be in that situation.
I am thankful everything worked out for you, your pup, and your neighbor. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6

I've also seen the owner smack him on the head in an apparant attempt to "train" him. Sad situation all around but definitely on the radar at this point.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Well I'm excited to share some good news with y'all: I'm the new proud owner of a Ruger LCP .380. The coolest part: I won this gun through a promotion that Impact Guns held! Posted some pics, with its Hornady "Critical Defense" 90 grain rounds and pocket holster. Only been able to shoot the tiny thing once but there were no FTF/FTE problems with the cheap range ammo. Need a cheaper place to shoot around Gainesville though. I know little about the .380, I usually carry a .45. Are these little 90 grainers viable rounds for defense or should I keep it in a BUG capacity? I was halfway toying with the idea of trading it for a SP101 .357 but I like the way it just rides so invisibly in the pocket.
Y'all have a great Sunday, looking forward to seeing many of you at EPIC. |

Re: First Firearm Thread.
I have a question for the fellers. A guy brings in an old Colt 45 new service revolver with sweet old ivory
steer head grips today, looks like a model 1917 or even earlier, and we have been webbing it up trying to get a relative value. I will post pics, but while I get that into gear, anyone know it's general value. I don't want to join a gun forum, lol. Sorry, too, these are video caps Last edited by OLS; 10-22-2010 at 10:17 AM. |
