Rokkaholik Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 How does the ammo capacity of it compare to a normal 9mm pistol? Seeing as I'm required to qualify with an M9, I've decided to purchase a 9mm for self defense. That and ammo availability. Depends on the mag you get. The 9mm and the .40's use the same magazine for the most part, but their view holes are a bit different. The .40's will come with either a 10 round or a 13 round mag plus one in the chamber. We use the 13 round mags here. Our AR-15's have 30 round mags, but we load to 28 to save spring wear-n-tear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminw Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 This is certainly a topic I can get behind! I moved my gun safe around the house a few months ago, and emptied it out for the move: I make all of the ammo I shoot, and never have to buy it from the store!

suchuwato Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I'm pretty handy with an air rifle / paintball gun, and I've shot a shotgun, but as you'll all know our laws prohibit owning a shotgun unless you need it, and most other guns are banned. I was going to buy a realistic airsoft gun, but you have to have a special license for one now, which involves paying for a recognised club membership Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimJack Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I feel so old fashioned: .22 scoped semi (my second rifle - my first was a single-shot bolt action .22) .357 mag Reuger Black Hawk s/a (I generally practice using .38 rounds to save on wrist and cost - this was a Xmas present from my b-i-l in the mid-70s) .3030 Winchester centennial lever-action carbine (could have bought the rifle but the carbine was so damn well balanced, I could not resist it - they were the same price and I was 14, put it on law-a-way and paid $20/month for a year to get it) Dream gun - an M-14 like I trained on in USMC Sometimes, late at night, I dream of getting one of those .50 cal pistols.

kingdingeling Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 This is certainly a topic I can get behind! I moved my gun safe around the house a few months ago, and emptied it out for the move: That gun that's on the ammo boxes, that wouldn't be a Spanish .308 Winchester Magnum would it? A friend of mine owns a gun that looks almost identical to that one, it's a somewhat old Spanish military carabine with takes .308 Win Mag rounds.

PaiN Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Love my Smith and Wesson M&P .40 and the ever-useful 12 ga. Mossberg pump. Considering choices for a CCW pistol and would like to add a Remington 870 and .223 black rifle in the future. As for a CCW, I'm just dribbling over the new Ruger LCR I'm considering selling the PF-9 for one, after they release on March 1st. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/LCR/index.html http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger-LCR.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMeeD Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Ive got 2 chunks of very inexpensive WWII Soviet gunnery. Mosin Nagant 91/30. The first made in 1939 the other made in 1942. I bought them mostly for their historical value but they are dirt cheap and tons of fun to shoot. I hope I dont break any tables with these. This one shoot dead on. All serials are matching too Made in Izhevsk Russia in 1939. You can tell this one was made before WWII simply because the finish is a lot better. This one shoots a bit to the left. I stripped the soviet shellac that was applied in the 70s and gave it a linseed oil finish. Also made in Izhevsk Russia but in 1942. Wartime Mosins were much more "rough" because they cranked these things out retardedly fast. The "rough" isnt a bad thing since its fully functional, it just adds a little to the gun's personal history. Fun guns with a lot of history for less than 100 bucks each.
