Yeah I read about that recently, that's a pretty good price, too.
I also read about the "dont tread on me" 1911. Looks sweet.
I love my Taurus PT1911 though, what a beauty.
There's also another 1911 I saw somewhere its like gold plated. I have to look that one up. Approaching the 100 year anniversary of the 1911. Cant believe it.

It's just such a work of art, simple, yet eloquent. I'm hoping just maybe the NRA will succeed in getting some of NYC's more excessive gun laws invalidated. You have to pay hundreds of dollars and wait months to fire a handgun at a target range. The license also expires in 30 days if you don't get a handgun. This has nothing to do with liberalism or conservatism, but just come sense and the fact that onerous restrictions like that serve no real purpose.
Are there any target ranges easily accessible by the LIRR or MTA North that can allow target range shooting (and rentals) without any of of the ass backwards issues of New York City?
Lionheart1827 said:I love my Taurus PT1911 though, what a beauty.
Do you have a stock recoil spring in that? If so does it have any problems chambering?
I have a buddy who has one and that gun has the lightest spring I have ever felt. You could rack that thing with your pinky. Maybe I'm just jaded because of the Wolff XP spring in my Kimber is ridiculous.

Yeah its a pain. Although my license wont expire after 30 days without a gun, you have to get a purchase document direct from the bureau and THAT expires in 20 days if you dont use it. Not to mention the bureau that I have to go to to register my pistols are only open 9-4:30 on weekdays, and I work weekdays. They arent open on the weekend so I pretty much have to take a day off to get everything done.
I go to calverton range which is way in suffolk county where I live. Calverton is awesome since its outdoors and there arent many huge rules, its a bit lax. However, no rentals there. The other ranges that do have rentals can be jerks or have crappy ventilation. There isnt many open ranges out here that are good. The mitchell field one is supposedly good but I havent gone there yet. I believe its near nassau coliseum.

Yeah everything is stock, however, it could be that his is an older model. I do know the older model PT1911s had issues with chambering. Mine chambers perfect everytime, only had 1 failure to feed out of around 1000 rounds so far.

Nice! That makes sense, I would imagine his is an older one. 1:1000 is a pretty good average
Now if the price of .45 would just come down a bit...

Oh god I know. I managed to get a pretty good deal on LuckyGunner but still it was a pain finding it in stock with a good price.
I'm looking into getting a .22LR pistol as well as a 9mm.

I'm thinking I might try some places in PA when my wife and I visit are family during the 4th. PA doesn't have it's head up it's ass regarding people who want to shot at a range.Lionheart1827 said:

Yeah it sucks how close PA is and they have way better laws than us. Not to mention we just defeated that stupid microstamping bill which would make it even worse for NY. If you're ever out in suffolk county and you want a good place to shop for firearms, check out Campsite in Huntington. Great place.

Cool, see there in lies the rub, my wife has no issue with me owning guns, she just doesn't want them stored in the house. While I have my own opinions on that, I can respect her wish and honestly we're moving to any area where its not needed for self-defense. I just want to be able to go to a target range and shoot and be able to store it there. I have to assume New York couldn't allow something rational like that though.
Lionheart1827 said:
I bought a .22 bolt for my AR, that is pretty much all I shoot these days. I have a little cache of .380 (shh don't tell anyone), 9, .40, .45, 5.56, & .308... I refuse to deplete those reserves, but I'm too big of a broke dick lately to buy any more.
That doesn't count shotguns though. I'll still go out and shoot trap with my tacticool 18" remington:lol

Manos: The Hans of Fate said:
Yeah NY would be a bad place if you're looking for pistol ownership. The pistols go on your license and only yours and they must always be stored at the address on your license. If not its ground for license revoke. Even somebody without a license touching your pistol is breaking the law. Rifles are a different story unless you live in the city. My brother is NYPD and he's so glad that he's moving back out to the island since the laws are more lax out on the island. Still lax to us is terrible compared to other states. Meh.
stldave2 said:
Haha yeah I have 1000s of rounds of .22 so cheap I love it. Too bad it feels like a hi powered BB gun :lol: I also have a small cache of 308 when I take my springfield m1a out. I love that gun, such a beast.
It's beautiful. I was set on getting a Kimber 1911 but I think I just changed my mind.Manos: The Hans of Fate said:http://www.targetmaster.com/Remington_1911_R1.html

You have any idea what the deal with rifles and shotguns are?Lionheart1827 said:
Can you in other states store weapons at a range? I mean can a NY resident (with a valid PA non-resident license) own and store a gun at a PA range?
Does anyone know who I would contact to find that out?
Shit, I wish I could have gotten some commission on that. :lolSpy said:

Wow haven't seen this thread in awhile.
Anyone have any good recommendations on a 3" 1911? I was thinking of picking up an sti one, but I can't remember the model off the top of my head.

Colt Defender or Colt New Agent, I'm looking into one myself, leaning more toward the New Agent as a good carry pistol.

The new agent is the one without sights right? I heard good things about it, but the no sights sound a bit weird. How much do they run for?CrazedArabMan said:
My cousin used to have a 3" kimber, and that thing would FTF pretty often. I heard a lot of people had the same issue. Did they fix that yet?

RapidCancel said:
I dont know, I've heard people swear up and down with Kimbers, and then I've heard that they are dodgy some years and awesome the next year, and then dodgy again the year after. I would think if there was a FTF problem it could be remedied pretty easily if sent back to the manufacturer.
One thing I really love about Taurus pistols is that they have a lifetime warranty and repair policy, and its per pistol not per customer. So pretty much if I sold my Taurus to somebody else, the lifetime warranty would go with it. So even if the gun has an issue in it, theyll repair it for free.
Problem is, they only have full sized 1911s so that doesnt help you too much. :/

Para makes one, although it has some negative reviews, Kimber as mentioned, but honestly, I would also go with a colt, but get one that has trench sights. The nicer bigger ones only look like they would snag. I've also considered getting a compact HK usp.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Would anyone know how much the Colt's run for? They don't seem to have prices listed on their site unless I missed it.
I've also been considering this - http://www.stiguns.com/guns/Escort/Escort.php
Heard some good things about it too.
Don't think I've ever posted pics of my handguns so here goes.
My old 9mm USP Compact, someone broke into my house and stole this.
G27
and the good 'ol 1911
My main carry weapon is a P2000sk, but I don't seem to have a picture of it...so next time.

The New Agent, which has the trench sites, aka no extruding sites, goes for around 799 - 899.

Last night a friend was telling me about replica guns (airsoft, maybe?) that have a muzzle flash and a very loud report. He said they are made for home defense, with the idea that the flash and noise could scare away an intruder without having to fire real rounds. I had never heard of this, and a google search isn't really turning up any results. Have any of you ever heard of something like this? I am thinking it might even be special ammo for airsoft guns...
Captain Howdy said:
Pretty sure you're thinking of replicas that fire blanks, but are unable to fire live rounds. Airsoft guns aren't that loud and usually just use gas or electric motors to fire plastic bbs. Here's an example of a "replica" gun:

Captain Howdy said:
Nope. Does not exist in airsoft. Airsoft guns have tracer units, some flashider replicas can enhance the "report" of the weapon but nothing that generates the sound and flash of an actual fiream.

Just for the range and "varmint shooting," I use Federal Premium Power Shok. I've seen it for like $20 a box.
Or, if you buy bulk, get PMC .223 ammo. Which is what I did, Cabela's usually has good deals on it. 300 rds for $125 or so. Or 600 for $250.
And now my question.
Has anyone here ever taken a Magpul course? Thinking about taking one back home in September.

Mosin Nagant M91/30. Haven't fired it yet, got to clean it up first, can't wait for this weekend!
Very nice. I've owned guns for many years, but that one was the first one I actually purchased on my own. It's loads of fun for what you pay.
