ok, did that just to get your attention, and relieve the bullsh!t of the MMA vs TCMA
so, what do y’all shoot with?
Handguns:
S&W 640 .38
S&W 686 ,357
SigSauer P228 .9mm
Bernadelli 80 .22
Rifles:
Remington 700 McMillan stock,Harris bipod,Leopold variex III
SKS
Mak90 (legal AK47)
Ruger Mini 14
Universal M1 Carbine
Mossberg 500
AR7 (but gave it to my OL-who is also a Bond fan)
Bows:
Oneida Eagle
Hoyt Raider
one of my favorites is the desert eagle.
then a .357 revolver
in my teen’s and ealy 20’s i used to carry a 10 gauge until my father found it and tossed it into the bay.
Would you use the Desert Eagle as a personal defence weapon? Or is it just a favourite because it is such as big-ass gun? I would have thought that such a high calibre handgun would not be practical in an urban setting, though I know little about guns.
Springfield 1911 .45 cal next to the bed
Glock 19 9mm for carry
Star model 30 9mm cause I like it
Ruger mini-14 .223
SKS 7.62x39 w/composite folding stock& 75 rnd drum
Colt AR-15 shorty .223
AR-7 for camping (or playing hitman 
) .22
But I’m not really into guns that much.
I have two Taurus revolvers, one a concealable snubby .357 with Crimson Trace laser sights for carry. The other a ported 7 shot .357…it stays locked away in my wife’s vehicle with .38 ammo.
Got a Mossberg 12 gauge “Mariner” (holds 9) tucked away for my home.
There’s a 16 gauge tucked away under the bed from the squirrel hunting days. I hated shooting the little guys, but it was a way to spend time with the old man and walk the forests. Finally, I own an Sks “sportster” that takes AK-47 clips…from my “paranoid friends” days.
Anything but a .22
Preferably revolvers and shotguns
M16A2 for when they stop being ***** and deside to come out and play, with bayonet. :rolleyes:
Not really a gun person but thats what they let me play with.
the shorty ar15 is a fun gun. I had a Bushmaster, but sold it to help pay for my bike
My next is probably a ruger mkII bull barrel .22, I am looking for replacement barrels for it to convert it to a hushpuppy
I also would like a walther ppk-cause I’m a Bond freak, maybe a 45 as well
I also like the kel tek, just as small as my SW640 but an auto and higher capacity
of course a Barrett is on my wish list…just in case…and a 30-06, because the 308 is a good round for dear and badguys, but not for bear, and I hunt where there is both. Perhaps a 44 mag as a sidearm for the woods as well. an there is always the Contender-those are just cool.
no i wouldn’t use the desert eagle like in a street situation. but the first time i heard that powerful son of a gun was at a gun range. the guy was like 5 rows away, and when he shot it it let out this sound like a giant cannon. with the ear muffs i heard it perfectly. and my shirt 5 rows away was shaking.
i’m just impressed with its power.
but my other favorite is twin nickle plated .44 magnums.
ak47/ ar15/ 9 mm/ mac 10’s are your typical street used guns.
i still don’t think none can stand up to the desert eagle.
Star model 30 9mm cause I like it
The last pistol I carried was a Star Starfire 9mm. I think Star makes great pistols and they are very reasonably priced.
In order of acquisition:
Mossberg 500
Taurus PT 92
Marlin Camp 9
Star Starfire
American Arms 22 revolver (cheaper copy of the Ruger Super Single Six)
SKS
Marlin 39 .22 rifle
Jennings .32 auto
I don’t actually own any at the moment having sold them all off to finance other things.
I’m going to probably spend most of my tax refund on firearms this year.
I think it’s time to do it before things get totally ridiculous.
this is my favorite and in a perfect world where I’m back down to 210, have 30 regularly paying students and a beautiful girlfriend this will be what I buy first

at least I have the beautiful girlfriend 
Well…
I would stick with my trusty old .25 caliber Saturday night special. Usually not enough to kill but can sure get the message across. I’d prefer to stay away from taking lives anyway. Disabling is enough for me.
how do you guys like the Taurus? How long have you owned them and how many rounds at a time do you put through them? They are nice looking and alot less expensive than Smiths or Barettas. How is the quality?
There are many schools of thought on this. You can save money-many times you are paying for the name. Then again, some people claim that the higher priced name brands have their parts machined and tempered to higher tolerances. Therefore better reliability-especially in a crisis situation. I chose the Sig-Sauer over the Smith auto because my Dad’s Smith stovepiped at the range, when he used reloads. The Sig chambered anything I threw in there. Never jammed. I was working as a bodyguard (briefly) so I wanted something that I could depend on, so it was worth the extra bucks.
I had my Taurus from 90-97. Basic PT92 blue
My usual practice was generally limited to 50-100 rounds once or twice a month.
I generally practiced by firing two clips slow, 2 clips double tapping and if I had the rounds I’d usually finish by blowing one clip out as fast as possible.
Never a problem.
Sigs are nice for sure but out of my price range.
wow, you must be a h3ll of a shot.
My dad was an avid hunter, so I grew up around guns. I only keep two with me in Knoxville. A little Jennings 380 in my vehicle and a Remington 12 guage with 00 buck shot in it for the home. I figure if an intruder doesn’t run when they hear the “click-click” of the pump, then they mean business. That would make my blood run cold if I heard that sound and I was some place I shouldn’t be.
that’s the usual thought w/ the pump but I’m looking to buy another shotgun for the house and my girlfriend has never shot a pump before. I’m debating the panic factor that may freeze her up on the pump action 
but seriously, we just had a foot chase through our yard two weeks back.
an armed robber of a conveniance store two blocks away that the police chased and then lost him in the wooded lot next to us. I actually looked out the door in time to see him run into the woods but sensibly shut and locked the door.
when I saw the cops walking through a minute later w/ drawn guns I told my girl that if they started shooting to get in to the tub…which is metal.
we live in a fairly rough area for Asheville…one of the two most notorious drug areas. If we stay, I think it’s going to be necessary to have a gun for home defense.
When I was a cop in DC I had a Glock 19…loved it.
I worked in the Evidence Control for about a month and saw a whole slew of unbelievable gus in the cage. Street weapon of choice in DC is the Tec-9 saw like hundreds of em…mac-10 were popular too…Even had this WW2 Nazi sniper rifle…was pretty cool.
****, too many to list…
OK, I own one of these things. It is the one gun people talk most about, but know the least.
Not practical in an urban setting? Cough. That’s what they’re built for. I suppose maybe you mean concealed? In that case, you may be right. It’s far too large and heavy to conceal easily. It weighs over six pounds when loaded. DE’s are classified as “entrance guns”, meaning they’re for the guy that has the drop. It’s not a gun that is easily pulled, or quickly aimed. But, they’re INCREDIBLY accurate, I can hit beer bottles @80+ yards with it using .44mag rounds. The .50ae rounds are purely for novelty. It may be a big fat bullet, but it does not pack as much juice as the .44, not to mention the fact that it’s a horribly overpriced round to buy. Two bucks a shot on average for the good stuff.
As hskwarrior mentioned, it commands attention at the range. Some people leave the range out of frustration that they can’t concentrate on thier own shooting when I’m firing it. But, don’t let appearances deceive you, there are many other guns with a lot more power than a DE .44 OR .50. Theres .454Casull, the classic .45/70, and S&W500 for example. All much cheaper than a DE as well.
For combat, however, I’ll take my glock 20 or 23, or USP Expert.
kind of…
Actually my shot is not bad. I train using crossbow pistols. They’re dirt cheap, like $15-$30 on the net. They are great, silent, no license required, etc… The downside of course is realoading an arrow every time and the fact the you will never be able to conceal it (I’d love to see a bouncers face when he finds something like that on me).
That and guns are not too complicated either. You line up the line at the end of the barrel with the notch towards the back of the barrel. It’s allot of practice that allows you to do something like that in an instant during a frantic situation.
Oh welll… I probably babbled on for longer than I should have. Regards!
Yeah the (CLICK, CLACK) of a 9mm can be heard over the music, the people talking and the idots fighting at any hood party. I know you werent talking about a 9mm but that just reminds me.
party going on 2 people arguing then… (CLICK, CLACK)
:eek: go the women
go the people fighting
but to many pull out a firearm without the intention of using it, thats alot more dangerous than using it if you ask me.
