The I LOVE THIS GUN Thread

So do I.

As he was showing me a brand new FN Five-Seven. SHIT....just what I did not need to see in my fragile state. And he's got two of them at list price. Crap, crap, crap....

I know that I can barely afford to buy the thing let along feed it at today's ammo prices - anyone want to guess if the round will be popular enough to be a common loading?

I guess it's good to have dreams.

I was amazed, it's lighter than my FNS-40 yet the barrel is longer - of course it's also about 1/4th the steel in it.

Oh well.

I LOVE the Five Seven.

It's not exactly cheap to shoot, but oh my gawd it's a fun weapon.

Well, it appears I discovered I have one gun that doesn't like Tula ammo. The S&W SD40VE shoots it but had two FTL's in a 10 round mag. My BIL had tons of it for him M&P which jams consistently on it. So I was a nice guy and traded him a box of Remington S&W40 for a box of Tula 40 S&W.

I blame user-error: limp-wristing the 19 and maybe a bad recoil spring. But sounds like limp-wristing to me.

I love to shoot my CZ 75B -- and I love the weapon -- but I always know my Glocks 23 will go boom.

Oh, I got a couple of boxes of the berdan primed, still cased 9 MM Luger and it was a nightmare in my Browning Hi Power - I had multiple FTF's in each magazine - I'm glad I shot the entire lot at one time and did not save it, I might have bought more at $10 a box of 50. What crap - I think it was overlength and jamming in the magazines.

Oh, you are no help at all. At the cost to shoot it, it looks like an expensive "hey, check THIS out" and it's nearly new...IOW, something of a safe-queen or maybe the one that stays next to the bed or something like that.

Maybe ammo will come down for it.

It's sure a high-tech looking sucker. Maybe he'll do a lay-away...

High tech, fer shure. It was the armament prop of choice for the remade Battlestar Galactica series

What is your favorite high capacity auto loader pistol. Did you say?

My fave is a gen 1 G17 I bought used. Former DC cop gun. Shoots like crazy. So spot on and comfortable. Low bore axis. A perfect thing circa I think '88.

Buy it. I was on the fence, but one showed up used at my favorite heroin dealer. It's amazingly easy to shoot well, and a hoot on top of that.

Yeah, it's expensive. Yeah, the ammo is expensive and a bitch to find. But it's worth it.

Did I say you should buy it?

What he said.

Sorry, the HD herd has more in common with the fancy dressed 1911-ers that Glock-owners.

It's called the Glock 36: the low-capacity, single-stack, .45 ACP Glock.

I think you mentioned that. I guess given the way things are going I could buy it and sell it in a year for the same money if I decided I don't like it or want to keep it.

He's not marking it up to obscene level so it's not a ripoff. Plus he's got ammo for it, so at least I could break it in a bit, even if I could not afford to shoot it more than a few times a year.

What with the ban of the high capacity mags in this state, it's probably a good buy with grandfathered capacity eh?

I purchased a PT92 from a shop a number of years ago. Am I still in the system,or will I need to retake the test in order to buy something today?

I have the opposite experience. Every range officer or instructor and almost every guy working in a gun shop carries one. You never ask any of them about them though or it will cost you 5-10 minutes of them telling you why they're the best gun in the whole world. Only have made that mistake 3 times
