The I LOVE THIS GUN Thread

Those are nice little plinkers, are you sure you want to sell it? A regular .22lr cylinder could be bought for not that much.

For home defense I reccomend something like a CZ75 (preferably B model but they're all good). Single action with double action back up and a safety. Then practice practice practice.

Duracoat that biach!

Any Walther PPS owners? Found a used one, local, in very nice
shape (though they are asking a ton for it).

Google says the early ones had spring issues. Anybody know anything else about them?

I've got thousands through mine and no finish issues. Just not as accurate as my Brown. Way cheaper to shoot though.

Ruger NMBH 44 SPL. 4 5/8" bbl, bisley frame.
I have 1K rounds of new Starline brass on hand, and a brand new MiHec H&G #503 .44 Caliber Keith brass mould staring at me. Just need to get the lead pot warmed up.

Who needs cotton balls with Vaseline when you've got that shit to start your campfire.

Very nice. Never manhandled a Bisley grip before. How do you like it?
Oh, and my trade was just finalized. Threw some guns up for trade on my gunboard and a guy came at me with this:


45 Colt (hee!) with a 45 ACP cylinder as well. 1976 vintage, has "MADE IN THE 200th YEAR OF AMERICAN LIBERTY" stamped on the barrel. Woulda preferred a shorter barrel, but you can't look a gift 45 Colt in the mouth I suppose....

Nice score on the 45 Colt. Getting the box and papers is a plus also.
The Bisley frame is a love it / hate it thing. After trying one out, I never looked back.
Here is some reading for you regarding your new toy and caliber:

No, but there is .45 mag, but you have to buy a Grizzley 1911 for it.

Neither of which shoot LC right?

Expecting the finish to last on the GSG 1911s is pretty much a mistake. Everywhere you look that is just about the only (and first) thing all GSG 1911 owners bitch about. But to all it isn't a biggie since you can get the entire gun cerakoated for about 100 clams, and it really doesn't matter anyway since it is a .22 trainer like you stated. Mine started wearing off before I ever shot it since I trained drawing and such for a couple days. It looked like it was a year old by the time I shot it three days after I got it. The fun factor and accuracy made up for the finish weakness!

S&W 657 .41 Mag with full lug barrel



Savage Striker 7mm-08

Loading for the .44 or .45LC is really easy, fast, and satisfying (accurate). Congrats on your Bisley.

Seen this guy on YouTube?

He's pretty damn good. And his chick in FIIIIIIINNNE.

Good clean fun.

I'm just glad to have that Sean Connery pic off the page. :huh

The Codpeice is going to give me nightmares. The movie was weird too. Very. At least there was some hot 70s pootang in it.

Millionaire family, and lives on a huge chunk of land with a bitchin range.

From what I can tell, the WF when pitched to the usa military was in 45 LC, in a very small number.(rare) The Mateba is in 454 casull which accepts the 45 LC.

Another note of interest that the military were the ones to name the .45 colt the long colt, to separate it more from the .45 schofield.

If I were to win the lottery I'm pretty sure I'd either die from lead poisoning or food poisoning.

I remember that movie, it was gawdawful! I also remember the 70s, I was in my 20s during that decade and some of the poontang was sweet, albeit hairy. :huh
