Ya know, I've been a gun enthusiast since I was 14 and my father took me to the range for the first time. I "own" several hand guns by now, and I usually carry with me when I head down town on shoots, etc. (film shoots, that is)

Just wondering if anyone else enjoys them, or carries when they head to bad parts o' town.

Also, why can't I have an inexpensive hobby? Between DVX accessories and weekly ammo, I'm always tapped out.
 
My brother (he lives in the same apt building as me) owns a lot of guns, some great hand guns, a Ruger and a really nice Karr(sp?) its nice and small. Also has 2 AR-15's which have since been banned in California (BOOOOOO) but they totally kick ass, and im with you on the guns thing, except i personally dont like hunting. Never done, never will, i guess im just a big softy.
 
Checking in.

Grew up with them, 6 years in the USMC.

Have several Ar-15s, semi-auto AKs, an M1a and pistols of several varieties.

My wife and I both CCW regularly.

I try to go to at LEAST 2 formal training classes each year.

That is a bad ass photo. You do not mess with McGee Digital. "Cutting-Edge Media with Dynamic Impact" Dynamic impact indeed!:kali:

P.S. Never has this smilie served me so well.
 
Yeah, I grew up around firearms, too. Got a couple...muzzleloader, Remington 270 shotgun, and a P99...well, the P99 only shoots 6mm balls of air, but it looks cool. My real thing is archery. Got two crossbows, two compound bows, three recurves and a longbow on the way.
 
I've never owned a gun before but I've always enjoyed shooting. It's something I've been meaning to take up for some time now but it seems like there's always something else needing my money immediately. Some things about being a college student suck! :crybaby:

The gun laws here in Montana and just about the most lax I have ever seen (for better or for worse).

Anyone want to recommend a good, reliable, and effective handgun I can start with?

That is one sweet looking AR15! And it sure looks like you know how to use it! I love those things (as well as the all-time action-movie favorite, the HK MP5). In handguns, Sig Sauer would be my first choice. Funny this thread should just come up . . . I just purchased my very first gun ever! Picked it up two weeks ago! Here's some pics:

Nice Shotty!

You might want to rethink the location of that shell saddle.

When you fire the shells may bite you in the cheek!

Consider relocation to the left side of the receiver:

If this is a FIRST hangun for you, and you want ultra relaibility and simplicity, I'd reccomend a Smoth and Wesson revolver in .38/.357.

That way you can shoot .38's at first to tget the feel of it, and then put .357's in it for when you are CCW for self defense.

If you want a semi, I'd reccomend a Glock, as they are the AK of hanguns and totally reliable.

In a 9mm there's the Glock 17, (what I have) and more compact Glock 19.

Good then lets follow the COC and keep politics out of this discussion, shall we?

Must you stain every thread with your useless comments?
 
I wish i could go shooting, but there ain't any ranges here in singapore... well none that i know of anyway. my friend's dad goes shooting though, and he's got a smith and wesson something
 
I have a p85 9mm, but thats it. I like the fact that if i run out of bullets i can beat someone to death with it.

Reliability yes, simplicity isn't necessarily important (though simplicity and reliability usually go hand in hand). This is NOT the first gun I have shot but it would be the first gun I own. I'm familiar with shooting, proceedures etc.

Thanks for the info :)

Does that count?
