Obligatory "Oh no another gun" thread

[Sanis Prent]

Figured this was neat enough to show off (aren't they all? ;))

Got this yesterday for $250. It's a Kel Tec P32. It'll be my backup and/or summer weather conceal carry pistol. I put a few items next to it in the pic for size reference:

It's so cute ^_^

[Darth Viscera]

I never understood just how nuts you were until I saw the great overabundance of stars and hearts and other crazy happy doodlings on your mousepad, you freak.

[Crystal]

aww! It is cute!

SHUT UP THEY ARE PRETTY!

[Kieran Devaneaux]

The guy in your avatar isn't. :D But nice facial expression. And good actor, too....

Seriously, however: The mousepad apparently looked rather bland before; the doodles give it a nice touch. I like it. :D

[Phantom]

You better clean that thing like once a day, those things jam like a mother. There fun to play with though. :D

[AmazonBabe]

Ok. That does it. Charley needs to open up a gun shop. :rolleyes

[Anbira Hicchoru]

Why? I don't want to sell any of mine :mneh

[AmazonBabe]

:lol Ok, ok... then you need to open a gun MUSEUM.

[Callomas Savoc]

Nah, I'd like to shoot them too often to put em in a museum.

[AmazonBabe]

Open a shooting range then? :p

[Lilaena De'Ville]

for himself?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I would never see him again :(

I've heard some mixed stuff about them, but the vast majority is positive. Nothing about jamming. The biggest issues with it are that the recoil is very intense (because its a tiny gun) and the slide will probably wear out after 13,000 shots (like I'd ever do that)

Getting warmer :D

If you'd wake up for range day this wouldn't be a problem. You could always dab some Hoppes #9 and Cosmoline on the nape of your neck :love

Very nice collection ... I like the SKS, its a good round.

I havent shot the Kel Tec .25, so it might not have the same problem as the gun I was shooting, though like you said the recoil is going to be a bit rough.

[Telan Desaria]

A nice collection indeed. Now to find you some good, German weapons.....

[Phantom]

A good 8mm Mauser would be nice.

A friend of mine had one, it was fun. Though my shoulder hurt the next morning because he wouldnt take the steel plate off the back.

I browsed a few Lugers at the show, but nothing seriously. The one I wanted was around $1,300 or so

I'm not quite interested in a K98 just yet. Maybe after I drop 500 on a CMP Garand, I might.

[AmazonBabe]

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

The P32 I didn't much like. It wasn't the kickback - that was hardly an issue for me as I was surprised by the lack thereof - so much as it was the inability to really aim. I know it isn't exactly the kind of gun one uses for sharpshooting, but still.

The AK is still my favorite by far though. I enjoy it much more than the Beretta carbine. The SKS was alot of fun too, as was the Neos (but that's always a fun one to play with).

[Katchen]

ok, I need to start shooting again.

What? You only just NOW noticed her? Good grief man, she was here yesterday. :p

[Sorsha Kasajian]

and maybe tomorrow. BIG maybe, but I'll try. After that is too soon to say. Sorry for the hijack, Charley Dog. I miss you guys.

[Lady Vader]

Miss you toooooooooo! ^_^

Now, on with the gun show!

[Morgan Evanar]

Is TFR planning anything for Gooncon?

[Callomas Savoc]

Yes, but no real details have been hammered out. We are trying to find a firing range within New Orleans.

Alabama concealed carry holds reciprocity with Louisiana, so I can carry all the way down and back :cool

[Phantom]

You're just lucky guns are cheaper over there, lol. Damn California.

AK's are fun as are SKS'

Do they make the XD in a .45? I think they do, but I can't remember for sure.

I also need to go shooting again, it's been awhile. Though I've been modifying my M14, much fun.

[Callomas Savoc]

It's not that guns are cheaper here, so much as it is we don't ban things left and right for no good reason. Your state sucks and the sooner it falls into the Pacific Ocean, the better. Leave while you can.

They don't currently make an XD in .45...the highest you can get it is .40 S&W. If you want a .45, just get a 1911 :) I should be getting one within a month or so

[Akrabbim]

Chuckles, I need your help finding a nice, huge 1911 longslide. I want the Hellsing gun.

(And no, not the crappy Van Helsing movie. The cool Hellsing anime with the insaneo guns)

[Lady Vader]

the sooner it falls into the Pacific Ocean, the better

^_^; Mind if I vacate first?

Just about any 1911 maker worth their salt makes a 1911 longslide. Not as long as the comedy option we saw at the show, but plenty long enough. Look into Springfield Armory, Kimber, or Para-Ordinance. They're all good middle-of-the-road manufacturers, and you should be able to get a decent one for $700 to $800, give or take.

Sooner rather than later.

[Shanaria Fabool]

what, are you going to make California sink into the ocean? Do you really think you have THAT much fire power!?

[Lady Vader]

:lol!!!

With the arsenal he and Patton have? I certainly wouldn't put it past them.

If Shaq can do it with a candy bar, then yes.

This is PRECISELY what I've been looking for in terms of custom grips. I must have them!

[Phantom]

Thats awesome.
