Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My first pistol is the Sig 229 (.40S&W) in the center. Purchased in 1995. I guess I got a little carried away after that... :rolleyes:

Carried away? Looks more like a nice start to me! :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

In NJ they consider your collection an "Arsenal" if you have more than two guns and 50 rounds of ammunition... BB guns included... ;)

NJ has a ridiculous pistol permit system that is just not worth dealing with, my long gun collection is where I kinda got carried away...

Need it, need it, got it, need it, got it, got it, need it.....LOL

Don't do that to me while I'm drinking... Now I need a new keyboard, again... ;)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just got the Draco. Time to get to work on a folder!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ok, now your talking

I'll work up a load for you off some I have for that same rifle. We'll toy with the loads and then I'll make 20 or so.

Mag of course is painted now. Pics were taken the day I received it. I have stretched her legs out to 1000yrds and she pretty accurate.

I will post up pics of my M4gery later, got some running to do then i will snap some pics.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Is anyone else very tempted to jump on one of these?

I was looking for a CCO style, but.... Damn.
100% American made, stainless, many parts you would usually replace on a GI or standard on a higher priced unit (skelly trigger, Novak style sights, BTGS, commander hammer, titanium firing pin, ext mag release, flared & ext ejection port). It has a lot going on. Ruger may have finally jumped in the 1911 x-ring with a mid-level winner. While the MSRP is only 799.... yeah, that's right, 799! I imagine they will get more than that for a while, but when the dust settles, the street on these should be a little over 6.... and that is a LOT of pistol for 6+.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Seems like a good price, havn't read about any reviews. Reminds me of a Springfield.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sounds like a good deal. I would love to shoot one and try it out.

RUGER: Rotten, Ugly, Godaweful. Egad, Replicantargent!!

(I don't really have anything bad to say about Ruger I just wanted to make fun of Pete.) ;s

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

HAHHAHAHAHAA :sl

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Well, according to some :rolleyes: it probably wouldn't work
and Rugers quality control sucks...
(I would bet he would say that about an unreleased pistol, even ;) )

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone have any experience with the Sig C3? The more I look at it, the more I want one!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I like Ruger's wheel guns, Blackhawks etc. My buddy had a SP101, very nice pistol. You are right about quality, they look better then they fire!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That is the other 1911 I am looking at. I asked the same question. I like you.
And Cake....



Well, and ribeye, beer, cigars, my wife.. and a few other things, not necessarily in that order.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:tpd:
IMHO besides their over/under shotguns, Ruger has only made 4 useful weapons, the Mini-14/Mini-30, 10-22, MK-II and the PC-9/PC-40. Their guns (engineered by Ruger) tend to be easy to disassemble yet require an engineering doctorate to reassemble...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ha, spoken like a true MK-II owner. I have a couple Ruger revolvers. They are very stoutly built but triggers aren't as good as S&W. Don't care for ruger pistols though I have one. The Ruger M77s are nice pieces, especially with the new triggers. I sold my Mini-30, I already have two AKs and they are bout the same in the accuracy department, and I'll take an AR over a Mini 14 any day of the week. I think everyone has and should have a 10/22 though. My problem with Ruger is they used to be a fine gun for the money, then over the last few years they've raised their prices 2-300 a gun. I don't ever see buying another.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice start. :tu Needs more 1911. :noon
