Shotguns

• Remington Wingmaster 870 Pump (12ga)

Pistols

• Browning Buckmark (22lr)

Previously owned and NOT recommended

• Walther P22 (22lr) - picky with ammo and not accurate
• Sig Mosquito (22lr) - good grip, but not accurate
• Kahr (9mm) - nice gun, but the wife and I didn't like the long pull of the double-action trigger.

Any recommendations for my next toy or should I just focus on reloading gear, magazines and ammo?

Here are links to pictures from the web. I don't have any pictures of my actual guns available yet.

Error 404 Toy not found, Dangerous weapons found.

 

[Kelvrick]

Do you not have reloading gear yet? If not, I'd focus on that.

You also seem to be lacking a semi-auto shotgun. Perhaps a drum loaded saiga 12 should be in your future? 9mm 1911? A 1919 would be nice as well. You're also missing a precision long-range rifle.

Otherwise, nice collection. Which reminds me, I need to post in the official yagt what i just got thread.

 

[phoenix79]

CZ-75

 

[JDMnAR1]

I don't see a good bolt gun on the list, and everyone needs at least one of those. You might also look into an AR57 upper.

 

[adairusmc]

Springfield m1a.

Savage 10PC or similar.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

What's your favorite 1911? I've been shopping for awhile now, but there is soooo much fanboyism it's about impossible to find unbiased reviews..

 

[BurnItDwn]

How about a 357 Magnum?
S&W has some really nice revolvers...

 

[Gibsons]

A big honkin rifle, like a 338 WM or larger. In case you're attacked by armored bears.

 

[OCGuy]

TTIWWGP


This thread is worthless without gun porn.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

RPG and a few IED's and maybe a grenade launcher, and some claymores everybody needs more claymores. And an Armalite .50BMG or .338 luapa sniper rifle

 

[pontifex]

how come there is no M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, Lee Enfield, K98 Mauser?

I like Springfields. Depends on how much you want to spend too.

 

[shortylickens]

I dont see an M1A or M-14 on your list, but you have some comparable items so maybe you dont need one. I also dont see a basic 22 bolt action but you have a couple others so I dont think you need one of those.

If you wanna good pocket pistol (not necessarily for carry) get a Sig P238 or 232, or a Ruger LCP.

I also like springfields. I don't like kimber as much since they tend to cost more. I don't think they're worth the price.

I really like rock islands since they're so damn cheap.

I like the recent sig 1911's as well, but I've only shot them and have heard compliants about holster compatibility.

Dan Wesson is really nice, but they've raised their prices recently.

I personally love all three of my 1911's. I think the Smith & Wesson and Kimber slightly out-perform my Springfield, but that might be because the Springfield is a 4" barrel and both the S&W and Kimber are 5".

I'm not much of a shotgun guy. The two I have were inherited.

The Garand and Carbine are good things for the list.

I have also been thinking of maybe a cowboy action revolver of some sort. That's the one thing I don't have is a revolver.

As far as reloading, I have gear for almost every round. I just have to get it set up. I don't have reloading for the 7.62x39 or the 7.62x54. The x39 is just cheap to get, so reloading isn't a priority and the x54 I don't shoot a lot and haven't found brass for.

Thanks for the input.

 

[Zargon]

browning hi power 9mm!

+1 the M1's

Les Baer 1911, if you love your kimber one of those should blow you away(but they should, they ain't cheap!)

lever action?

winchester 1894

Yeah, the Les Baer or Wilson 1911's are nice.

I already have a 1940's model 1894.

You need a Glock and (as suggested above) a CZ75 (or derivative).

I haven't found a Glock that I like the feel of. Every grip I have tried is too big and too square.

Are you a small person? It seems that if people get started with a 1911, they can't handle anything bigger or a different grip angle. If a person starts with something like a Glock, they can handle nearly anything. I think it's just a matter of stepping outside of what you are used to. They are the best selling handguns for a reason.

Go handle a Glock 19 and see what you think. It is arguably the best all around handgun ever made. The fullsizes are a little larger and I agree that they don't feel as nice. I so want a 10mm but the 20 just isn't comfortable for me.

Because they give MASSIVE discounts to law enforcement???

I'd be curious to know what percentage of Glocks are in the hands of law enforcement but outside of Glock corporate, I don't think those numbers exist. I don't think it is as high as you think.
