It would be a nice video with this amazing gun.
Leadership is intangible, and therefore no weapon (guns, knifes, blow gun) ever designed can replace it.

Guns are like parachutes, if you're ever in a situation that you need one and you don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

9 x 19 cm :D

Sounds like a proper caliber.

^Congrats on the reliability! I need to get to the range soon :x . But apparently there's a minor 7.62x39 shortage going on, and a cash shortage on my end :lol: .

Also, I took more crappy pics of my 'collection':

The AK is the only one I actually bought myself, the rest are/were my dad's that I kind of have control of now since we moved the safe into my closet.

Cut the barrel down to 18.5" myself

The 12 gauge again with the Mossberg 500 20 gauge below it

My dad also has a Taurus Tracker 627 in .357 magnum that he keeps somewhere else. It looks like this:

The safety course begins on August 23rd. It's been awhile since I've shot anything. I wonder if my friend would take me to the range for a small fee...

I'm still waiting on my dad to pick a class that he wants to go to so we can get more comfortable with carrying concealed (I don't want to but he does, and I figure I might as well know the laws as well to keep him in check)

Yea, my dad has had his pistol Permit since he was 21 and has had his LTC since it came out in early 2000.

He's just never had a desire to CCW until recently when he's been driving through rough areas late at night coming home from work.

Goin' shootin' Sunday afternoon most likely. Takigu and I are heading out to shoot with some friends.
What we're takin': Mosin-Nagant M1891/30, Winchester Model 1897, Mossberg (I don't know the model on that one), Marlin Model 60.

Dunno who else is bringing what, but we've shot some epic guns in the past. Might even do some pistol shooting, and I've never fired a pistol in my life.

Last time was EPIC. Got to fire a brand new condition WWII Mauser. That 8mm ammo has some kick to it, I'll tell ya.

Just gotta get a job... Then I can pick up my first handgun. Lookin' at a Springfield XDm compact in .40 S&W. Takigu wants the same gun in 9mm.

It's gonna be epic.

MEIJER

Y U NO HAVE CHEAP .45 ACP?!

I was scouting ammo prices again at Meijer, and for some reason their WWB .45 ACP is super expensive. 50 rounds of WWB 9mm is at $13.xx now, while 50 rounds of WWB .45 ACP is now $29.99 :| .

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. It was a quick look.

You have an XD? I want details! As soon as I'm employed I'm gonna go hit up the local outfitter and make my final decision, but I'm looking at the XD series. I was leaning XDm, but now not so much. How's she shoot?
