ianargent 7 Posted April 14, 2010 G17L. Of the selection of handguns I got to fire while taking my basic pistol class that one was runner-up by a hair to the Kimber; and oddly enough available at the time my permit came up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sigman 41 Posted April 14, 2010 Thanx again everyone for letting me shoot your guns. I had a great time. After shooting Matt's DW 1911 I think I want my first gun to be a 45. I have a Springfield Trophy Match I'll bring next time for you to try. It shoots awesome. I suggest you buy the gun you really want because you'll just end up buying it at some point anyway. If you're going to drop some coin on a piece it might as well be the one you really want. Waiting for permits is a PITA. Hey Ray - how did you like those brass catches? The brass was landing on my shoulder and rolling right into the range bag. It's pretty funny looking at the range with brass all over the floor, then you look by me and the floor is spotless. Thanks George for throwing the brass in my bag. I'll hook you up with some nice shooting reloads next time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spartacus99 0 Posted April 14, 2010 Thanx Rick. I look forward to shooting the Springfield. Its a beautiful gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunker 274 Posted April 14, 2010 Know that feeling. I ended up with the Glock, though, because I could get 2 of them and some change for the Kimber I was lusting after... That's OK. Throw the Glock in a big pile of mud and let it get gunked up good. Then put a magazine in and fire away. You wouldn't have been able to do that with a 1911. Hopefully that provides some consolation. http://www.theprepared.com/index.php?op ... view&id=90 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunforhire 826 Posted April 14, 2010 Great to meet many of you last night. Next time plan on stopping by the school for a meet up if you like. Ray, want to sell that lefty? I could use it for teaching? Anthony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgemc 18 Posted April 14, 2010 Was good to place a face with names here. RayRay and Matt, Sigman thanks guys for allowing me to get a feel of the different pistols. Sigman, anytime bro. If you like, I can save them when I'm at the range and you guys aren't there. Not a prob for me. Spartacus99, Sigman is right. Spend (and save) the extra $$$ and get what you will be happy with, it'll be worth it. Gonna be working on the Saiga the next couple of weeks in my spare time. Rest of the parts came in today, hopefully I can get it done and in good working condition for the next meet up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt6669 71 Posted April 14, 2010 Spartacus, look into trying to find a used DW 1911. You can find them for sub 1k and they are worth every penny IMHO Anthony, I will stop by a little early in two weeks to shoot the crap, good finally meeting you since I didn't get to meet you when I picked up my coffee mug and stickers over a year ago!!!

Ray Ray 3,566 Posted April 15, 2010 Great to meet many of you last night. Next time plan on stopping by the school for a meet up if you like. Ray, want to sell that lefty? I could use it for teaching? Anthony I thought it would be a good idea as an ankle gun for CC places. But I'm so used to loading revolvers right-handed that it messes me up. I am really starting to like it and I figure after another 100 or so rounds I'll make her a permanent night stand piece. Thanks tho, even though I know your kidding.

I thought Tim was going to take the Zero bullets I sold you, but I guess you spoke with Wolfy instead. I walk into BA last night and Wolfy says across the room "You've got some heads for me?". A few people turned around and looked at the both of us. My response: "Sorry Joe. I'm easy, but I'm straight." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
