The Guns Thread

[cleonard]

Thinking about getting a handgun. What's pretty cheap and reliable? Revolver? Semi-auto?

The only way to know is to try several and see what you like. Gun preference is extremely subjective. Kind of like dirt bike tires. What one guy likes another may hate.

There is one range near me that charges a single daily rental fee. You can try as many of the rental handguns as you want for no extra fee. The only limitation is you must buy the range's ammo. Best way to try a lot of guns for little cash.

Sounds like a great idea. I'll look around for a local range and try my hand at chooting.

If you are looking for a inexspensive gun, you should check out HI Point. I have had my .45 since way back in my 20's and I have never cleaned it, shot so many rounds through it, it aint even funny. I only shoot cheap ammo as i am a cheap ass, hince the Hi point and not a glock or a 1911. I have no complaints and it shoot pretty damn good.

I almost bought a Hi-Point 9mm carbine (model 995). They are rugged, ugly guns, but I dont hear much bad about them.

What caliber upper is that?

5.56.

1x7 twist, chrome lined. I cant wait to shoot it!!

I don't know what that is... but it looks official...

It's the upper half of an AR-15. The hard part now is waiting to shoot it until I build the lower half.

Ever heard of the Iraqi Reload? Here is your's truly demonstrating an Iraqi Reload on my old AK-47 (WASR-10) which is currently my step brother's gun.

It is by no means better than the regular reload...quicker- yes, but not at any advantage. The only point of retention is on the bolt, therefore little control of the weapon and you never want to have your finger NOT near the trigger in a combat situation. It's just a little trick that's so fun to do.

I spent the remainder of that day mostly shooting a Mosin-Nagant. Two days later and I still have no shoulder. Damn Russians.

Quick reloads are over-rated and in my opinion it's all thanks to the video games.

So when are you signing up?
