YAGT: OMG I love guns

[JulesMaximus]

Can't wait to pick up the Glock 20C. This will be my first 10mm and it has the factory ported barrel and slide so that should help with recoil a bit.

Last 2 purchases. Ronin back with Springfield Armory. Extractor not doing its job. The big one is fun to shoot. For a few rounds.

Nice! I like big guns and I cannot lie!

This is my Desert Eagle 50AE.

Actually, that was with the 44 magnum barrel. This is the 50AE.

How are you taking the pic? Are you just putting your camera on a tripod and shooting video?

My son took the video. These are screen captures from the video. My son is shooting the 45-70 in the pic I posted earlier (I took the video of him obviously) and this is me shooting the DE.

From left to right, 9mm, 50AE, 45-70 Government.

.22LR, 9mm, .45ACP, S&W 500 Magnum hard cast. 700 grain. It will wake you up.

I bought a Marlin 1895SBL and picked up a Glock 20C at the same time. Can’t start the paperwork on the Glock until this weekend though because of stupid CA laws.

Let us know how the 20C handles. My first ever pistol (bought in 1997) was a G17C. Such a smooth shooter, that a beginner can pick it up and not have to fuss with recoil worries. I'd like to know how a more robust round, like a 10mm, handles, with the compensation built in.

I have a Uberti SAA replica in 10mm.

Not your common cowboy six shooter for sure.

It's a stout pistol, but I think a hot 357 kicks more. Both are less than my 629 44mag.

Imo 10mm shoots snappy like 9mm, but with way more kick.

 

[Bitek]

Just got a Dillon press and waded into the world of reloading.

Love my 44 and 357, and so much variety you can try with those rounds. $1/rd for factory 44 was the kick I needed.

I'd like to get a 44 or 45-70 lever rifle for target shooting at some point, and hand loading is the only way it makes sense.

My son shooting the Marlin. It's interesting because a buddy of mine has a Henry lever action rifle that is also chambered in 45-70 Government. It is very similar in looks, stainless steel gun but with black wood stock. His gun is lighter though and it only holds 4 rounds vs the 6 rounds the Marlin holds. The Marlin also manages recoil much better. I could shoot this gun quite a bit more than I could shoot his Henry. We put 20 rounds through it on this day. I don't like the scout scope though so I bought a really nice Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20 scope with illuminated reticle that I'm going to put on it once the rings get here. The scope on it here is a cheap Burris with 1" tube so I need new rings to mount the Leupold as it is a 30mm tube. This rifle deserves a decent scope IMO.

Muzzle flash is like shooting my Mosin carbines.

Now I want to buy the Marlin Model 1894 in 44 magnum. My friend just bought one, hasn't shot it yet though. I have a Winchester lever rifle in 44 magnum that I love but there really isn't any way to mount an optic on it and I want an optic on it. The 1894 would be perfect for that.

 

[JulesMaximus]

A friend of mine just picked up the Performance Center 460XVR revolver. It's cool because he can shoot 45 Colt, 460 S&W Magnum or 454 Casull through this gun. His brother has a Freedom Arms 454 Casull and I have a few guns that shoot 45 Colt so we have plenty of ammo we can shoot through it.

Last 2 purchases. Ronin back with Springfield Armory. Extractor not doing its job. The big one is fun to shoot. For a few rounds.

Lever rifle is on my perpetual want list that somehow I never get around to buying.I've come close a few times but normally my ADD brain gets distracted and I end up with something else.. some times it's worked out, like when I got the Ruger Precision in 6.5, but other times it's ended that way because of better deals on other handguns.

 

[Bitek]

LGS got me on a father's day sale. Picked up the 44mag S&W 1854 for $1120.


Pic rail, threaded barrel, gold dot peep sight, flat trigger SS and poly furniture. 20" barrel. Mix of modern and traditional. Matches my 629 well.

Holds 9+1 in magnum, I think I fit 11+1 in my 44spl hand loads. Cycled everything well. Fun to shoot.

Considered the more traditional Marlin as well, but I wanted the modern features (but not too much tacticool) and hopefully a 45 can one day.

We have a ground squirrel infestation problem. I noticed a couple hanging around on the outskirts of the lawn, but they are multiplying. Up close or if I want to be quiet I use the Gamo 22 with standard Crossman Premier 14.3g pellets as that's what it's sighted in with. To reach out farther I use the Savage A17 with a Sweet 17 scope and the A17 -17 grain ammo made for it and varmints. It also makes more of a mess of the poor critters, although they never know what happened. Every evening and afternoon if I see one I stalk it and I've gotten 8 so far, one female with a belly full of lumps. Kind of fun, and I've sighted the 22 in for 35 yards and it's really right on if I am steady enough.

That looks more like a chipmunk.

 

[nOOky]

It's a 13 lined ground squirrel, common to confuse them though. They have stripes that extend up on their heads, which you can't see in that picture.

Squirrel!

My local gun store has a Winchester model 70 Super Grade with maple stock for sale. I’m thinking of buying it. It is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Looking for opinions on a Fn 5.7.
Thinking about buying one for the wife as a carry, she doesn't like my 1911

 

[nOOky]

Ammo is too expensive, not as many options. I'd rather have a .380 in a smaller frame myself. The 5.7 is just too hard to plink and train with unless your already very proficient in handguns. My opinion only. My wife has a PDP and 9mm is pretty cheap, relatively, right now.
