Mike Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 Oh, I agree! But cost is an issue here. If I could I'd get a 1911 (chambers .45ACP) Look at this beauty! .45's are around $800.00 9mm are around $300.00

MuzikTyme Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 No doubt, that's a very respectable firearm. Viaene offers a good alternative, brother Mike, as well.
MarcM Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 You must be very happy that your son shares your love of firearms and shooting. I am glad to see you are doing it right! 45 cal is good (it's what I carry)but 9mm is nothing to sneeze at, either. 45's require more practice and are more difficult to control.
edna Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Posted September 4, 2008 We have one like this at home. When the cats see my husband will shoot at them, they immediately run away from the bed and the room and we we can sleep.

I love hearing someone speak from actual experience! Hi, Marc! The .45 kicks well, wouldn't you say? What's your favourite hand-gun if I may ask? Always nice to see your posts, BTW.
Kevin Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 Won't a .45 put a hole in a person the size of a golf ball - or is that a myth ? The cops here use .22 cal. pistols , surprisingly - or perhaps not- given the past history of nasty authority here and people's current views toward it .
Steel2Velvet Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 It's interesting that people spend hundreds on personal handguns, pay for range time to practice with their weapon, spend time cleaning and inspecting its action for proper use, only to then confide to one another, "Hope I never have to use it." Beyond the much less expensive home fire extinguisher, handguns must be the most costly private commodity the ultimate purpose of which is hopefully avoided.

The cops here use .22 cal. pistols , surprisingly - or perhaps not- given the past history of nasty authority here and people's current views toward it . The .45 will put a hole about the size of a dime or even smaller in the forehead. Then when you look at the back of the head, well...there is no back of the head. Viagra's only #5?

I should hope that a cop sitting by the side of the road taking radar hopes he would never pull over a speeder and issue a ticket. But, simply by his presence, this should slow people down and make the road a safer place to travel for all. Concealed Weapons Licenses up 44% in my home state
The Seeker Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 Indeed. So what came first, the chicken or the egg?
Mike Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Mikey, I appreciate your fondness of the right to bear arms. But if you truly want something with true stopping power, the following is it . . . Colt .45 (government-issue). Bar none! It's what I consider the finest hand-gun ever to be designed. Marc. Your advise was well received, I was looking at the gun shop yesterday, I saw this little beauty... It's priced within my budget, (well very soon anyway) $350.00 Taurus 24/7 .45 ACP Pistol. I was considered the 9MM until this baby showed up in my sights. 12+1 SA/DA SS. Accuracy, light weight, good control. Nice piece!!

The Seeker Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 Can't one of you open a separate thread for your gun talk? I'm not saying (anymore) you should stop entirely, but I don't want to look at guns any more than I really need to and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Levis Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Yeah, you're being a tad insensitive, folks. Also off-topic. Weren't we done with the gun talk a few pages back? edit: btw, Muzik, your images are hotlinked - bad thing. Edited September 4, 2008 by Guest I'm a nitpicker like that
Lea Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Indeed. So what came first, the chicken or the egg? Everybody knows it was the chicken Fin I think to most of the people here guns are mostly considered as a hobby. Kind of like archery, fencing, knife throwing or axe throwing. Yes guns are more lethal but all are weapons. Just wanted to add that observation but if the talk of guns is upsetting to some SFers here I really do think maybe we should be a little more sensitive and maybe open a different thread or do the PT thing. Edited September 4, 2008 by Guest I see they did :D

Viaene Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) and please don't quote guns Thanks for the other topic Mike. My annoucement: I'll be off for the weekend, I'm going to spend the weekend with my grandparents and parents. My grandparents are married 50 years this year :happybanana: Edited September 4, 2008 by Guest
MuzikTyme Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 Muzik, your images are hotlinked - bad thing. A bad thing? I find it quite amusing, given the fact that I've been here going on five years and no one but you has ever mentioned or complained about it.
The Seeker Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 It's been mentioned more than once in the past.
MuzikTyme Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 As if you're telling me something I already don't know? Good grief, to be so young and worry so much!
