YAGT: OMG I love guns

[K1052]

CZ SP-01 came home before falling off the CA roster. Complements my IWI Jericho 941FS.

She is definitely a chonk but I really prefer steel framed pistols to actually go shooting with.

Gun noob here. Finally at a place where I have some time and money to get into this sport. First stop is a safe as required by my state (MA).

This is the first one I’m looking at:

What are some pitfalls to look out for? Does only a key lock make this a poor choice?

Plans for firearms, per MA restrictions (which are currently in flux as our governor and legislature have released a big change that includes quite a bit of vagueness): 1x 22LR bolt action, 1x 22 pistol, 1x 20gauge breaker, 1x 9mm pistol, and to be had later: 1x 12 gauge pump action.

These will mainly be used at a club I joined. With the 9mm being the go to in home and may not be stored in the big safe all the time.

Safe budget is $1000

I'm not familiar with that brand of safe. Safes are like a lot of things, you have to buy what works best for you. I myself would choose a safe that is strong enough that it takes time for a thief to break into, hopefully discouraging theft. I don't necessarily want everything in the safe to survive a 12 hour fire and those are much bigger and more expensive. Safes are like tents, they never comfortably hold as many guns as they claim they will. I would buy a safe with about double the capacity you think you might need, strong enough that it can't be easily broken into, and heavy enough that it takes more than two guys to carry out of the house.

As for just a key, I would have a digital keypad, you can hide the key somewhere else, but if the batteries die you can still get into it by popping off the keypad.

I have no experience with weapons, but i found this video :
This full automatic manipulated Glock P80 looks nice , but will it not blow up in your hands ? Like overheat or something ?
Or that the bullet get stuck in an overheated barrel ?

It is fun todo calculations to see how many joules those bullets have when leaving the nozzle, nozzle speed.

Kind of reminds of that movie gun Robocop shoots, in the movie Robocop from 1987 (The best one : Paul Verhoeven).
Robocop 2 (1990) is also one of the best movies.

Makes sense

I noticed there is a gun which does the same as a modified Glock P80 : The Glock P18.
That is kind of dangerous, such a gun with even a 33 rounds magazine.

Maybe one day i will also try a shooting range. Looks like fun. Boys will be boys.

Released in the same year 1987, the movie Robocop hit the screens. Robocop with an automatic hand gun.
Funny coincidence.

I bought this safe about 8 years ago. It’s not big enough quite frankly.

Finally getting my suppressors next week. I ordered a Banish 45 for my 9mm pistol and mainly my pc carbine. Also getting one for the .22 due to their free promotion. Can't wait to shoot something, quietly.
