What guns do you own?

My new Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical in 45ACP

Have you fired it yet? If not then you should just send it to me

No, I haven't fired it yet. Something keeps coming up during the weekends...

And no, you can't have it. I found this on sale and this model doesn't go on sale often.

Darn you, where is the Spirit of Giving nowadays?

Update: He is enjoying shooting the Ruger 1911, so there

An air gun.

It requires no licence.

Getting a licence is too much of a bureaucratic hassle.

As an Army officer we could keep two weapons without licence as per the Arms Act.

But, retired people cannot have weapons without licence.

In India you don't have much of a choice with insanely strict gun laws. Guns legally sitting back at home: 2 .12 bore IOF (Indian Ordinance Factory) double barrels, and an IOF .32 Ashani pistol (basically a Colt 1903). Though, can easily discuss the workings of a 9mm Browning copy as well.

Schweeeet! Han Solo would be proud!

George Lucas had a thing for German weapons, except I will admit a lot of the Storm Troopers carried modified Sterling submachine guns.

As I recall, some storm troopers carried MG-42's or were they MG-34's?

-34's, I believe. Those funky curved butt stocks added a nice flair to the Storm Troopers' evil-ness. But who knows? I suspect there were scenes where they used MG-42 prop guns as well.



And their basic blaster was a Sterling... I like the "scope" which appears to be a spotting scope mounted backwards.



It's a good thing logistically that they were all clones. One uniform size fits all! ;)

Sir,

Great to see you post.

I would have thought that getting a license for you would at least be easy, given your background as a retd. Army office as well as the various other governmental posts you have held.

I have heard go0d things about the 1903 hammerless. As a 1911 enthusiast, I would like to try out Browning's other creations, such as the Colt 1903 and the Hi Power. Did you get a chance to shoot the Ashani?

So...jealous...

Along with my M1 Garand (a beautful piece; dalem got to shoot it), I just got two new guns last week: a Springfield Armory XDm-9 Compact (going to carry it when I'm very familiar with it) and a Mossberg 500 Persuador tactical shotgun for castle defense (either #6 or #8 birdshot).

NOW then...I need to start larding on the accessories. Probably going to carry the pistol concealed, so a good inside the waistband back rig, and I may see if I like a laser inside the guide rod. That will probably take care of that.

But the shottie...I'm going for Robo-gun, here. Flashlight inside the foregrip is a must-have. Sling/bandolier combo, a rifled barrel for slugs plus a sight of some flavor (open for your suggestions), satellite radio, leather seats and a moonroof.

I went with the Mossberg because I want a multi-purpose shotgun that I can convert to any use without gunsmithing experience. Seriously, what y'all think may be useful? I'm thinking of some kind of conversion stocks, so I can take it into the field for birds, or to the range for clays.

Did you guys go to Clark County Shooting Complex?
