Firearm General Discussion Thread

So, I see a lot of people around here are shooters, so I thought I would make us a thread to encompass all of our conversations and keep it general.  Please don't bring politics into this, as it tends to stink up threads.

You see, the CZ IS a service pistol, haha.  I paid 400 flat for mine, after taxes.  Walking in with brand new 50 dollar bills has a way of convincing the gun people, and the shop was bro-tier (they host the Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot, which is amazing).

Gonna go look at some .45's tomorrow, definatly gonna look for a 1911. My dad said he would pay for the 1911 if he could have my AR. decissions decissions.

I barely use it though, and it just dosnt have the thrill i used to get when I took it to the range. Thats the main reson im looking into this trade with my dad.

I ran out of uses for my AR and sold it. AR's are like model cars to me...fun to build, neat to show off, but then become expensive toys that sit in the corner. Will I build another one? Absolutely. My next is going to be a target gun...bull barrel, trigger job, the works. But being jobless ATM, I needed the cash more than I needed the M4

As far as guns I'll never part with, my Remington 700 varmint in .308 is my baby. I just love everything about that gun, killed my first deer with it, so on and so forth. I think 700 bull barrels are a work of art, if a bit too heavy for practical use hunting.

I really enjoy my USP .40, more so then any other handgun I've owned, but I retired it from car duty just because I was always worried it would get stolen. Don't really know why, since the Glock .45 I replaced it with is actually a little tougher to replace (G36's are crazy hard to find around here, I really don't know why).

My dad just finished his .17 target gun and I'm pretty excited to get it to a range. .17's are a blast to shoot.

Whenever I get a good job and can muster up the 800 bucks or so I plan on putting together a silenced Browning .22. But that's distant, thanks to the black hole of money that is my project truck. I'll post pics of my guns later.

My cousin and I traded .22's about a year ago.  My AR7 for his Mossberg 144. The Mossberg needs some stock work, a new rear sight and a re-bluing.  I had the Mossberg 340 growing up and loved the thing, my favorite rifle. My Brother in Law has it now and I have been working on him to give it back. I want Son's to learn on it like I did.
My "always go to the range" rifle are all of my AR's. I take all 3 because my Wife loves shooting all of them ( not that I don't). But of the 3, The Olympic Arms lower, Colt A1 upper,Bushmaster barrel, ACE skeleton stock build I did is my "go to". And then there are my Springfields, the M1A ( Highly recommend) and my Garand. They just feel good to shoot, very accurate, and I still get a thrill shooting either of them.
I am a 1911 man. I love my Gold Cup. I have been thinking a lot about another pistol, but currently it is not in the near future. I have been seriously looking hard at another 1911 (Kimber and Springfield),  the Glock 21 and the Beretta Px4 in .45 auto.

Definitely not a bad price seeing as how they were what... about $500 or so when they first came out. I've used the one Shorty has/had (don't know if he still has it or not) several times and they're just so much fun. You can't help but burn up a lot of ammo with them because they're just such a stable little pea shooter. Definitely different than a modded 10/22 or other such semi-auto.

Dude for that money I'd ask you to buy it for me and send you the cash. I wish it was as easy as that.

I've wanted one of those for years, but they want almost the price of a full MP5 here.

I honestly think the .22 rifles like the GSG and the M&P 15/22 cross the boundry between real guns and Airsoft quite nicely. They let you do things real guns can for around the price of Airsoft :)

Having shot a GSG I must say they are the bees knees when it comes to fun. If you do get one you will not go wrong.

I'd love to have a full set of .22's.

A 1911 with a .22 conversion, a Glock running one, a Sig Mosquito, an M&P15/22, the GSG MP5, A BRNO .22.......

.22 is where it is at if you doing paper punching at <100m.

Aren't the GSGs just basically 10/22s in airsoft gun bodies?  That said, I definitely want one, maybe a pistol as I've been looking for a little .22 pistol to shoot for when I'm broke.

I've been wanting to get a CZ for while, specifically the P-01.   But, I doubt I will be making any gun purchases for the next 3ish years.
