The I LOVE THIS GUN Thread

I have thought about getting an AR recently - if for nothing else than to have a lower receiver with which to attach any number of interesting uppers, ranging from a 5.7x28 to a .50 BMG to a crossbow. I haven't shot one much since being in boot camp, but I do like the ergos much better than any AK, I just do not trust them. Too much history of unreliability and fragility. Yeah, I know, they have improved, especially with regards to reliability (especially if you get a piston upper0 - not so much robustness (compared to an AK). If I had to walk away from my house in a SHTF situation where I was on foot, this would be what I would take with me:




and one of my 22 LR firearms - probably the Browning Buckmark (after I get the lighter longer barrel for it).

Remington 700 SPS in .223, converted to accept Ruger Mini-14 mags, threaded for my SWR Wolverine suppressor, with my night light on it. Used it last night on a coyote at about 250+ yards.

Did he applaud before he keeled over?

If they're built with the same quality as my Model 44, it's a fine piece.

That ones not mine. Same model. I need the rear sight and am thinking about putting those grips on.

Semper Fi

Who were you with?

Yeah, I don't remember firing from the 100 either, but maybe we did and it was just easy enough I don't remember?

Thanks for the input guys, that's pretty much what I thought. It would be my lead spitter, already have some pistols and am inheriting gramps bolt when he's done with it. This one would just be for fun.

I am down to two semis and two revolvers.

The only reason why I don't carry a revolver most of the time is because I did not have one small enough ... till now.

3 inch sp101 is coming home today.

Straight trade for my gp100.

Sweet! I love those 3" Rugers. They look like good shooters.

COOL! take and post up pics.

The value of taking pics is what got me the trade.

I'll post them up when I get the revolver.

One of my relatives was the Ruger rep in Argentina.

He had the 2 inch sp101 in his slacks and no one could tell.

It's a lot of pocket gun ... hottest round out of there was moving at 1200 fps ... out of a 3 inch!

It's original. That revolver's actually seen quite a bit of silhouette shooting competition over the years.

The quality and lustre of the bluing on some of the older S&W's is astounding.

Help a noob out - zat a M60?

I really like the SP101, don't own one myself but one of my good friends/shooting-buddies has a couple of them, and I've recommended them to a number of people who were looking for a first center-fire handgun for CCW.

That said, I'm not sure I'd want one as a pocket-carry gun. I've used a S&W 640 (stainless steel J-frame 2" 357 hammerless) for that purpose, and I suspect the rugged SP weighs more, and it practically de-pantsed me. Plus I think any revolver with an exposed hammer is prone to snag on the draw unless the hammer is bobbed. But in a good inside-the-waistband holster on a sturdy belt, it'd make a great carry gun. For pocket carry I think the best choices out there are the Scandium or "Airweight" hammerless J-frame Smiths, and the Ruger LCR......speaking strictly revolvers here.

M249

Havent used the M60 in 20-30 years?

I just realized that was the whiz-bang thing that was unveiled yesterday. What's the big deal about another little 9mm?

One must be of Latin descent to not be de=pantsed by the mighty SP101.....I guess.

nothing.....

This one doesn't depants me.....
