I had no guns at the start of this year...Then the fiance told me I needed another hobby. So I said "ok...guns..."

First was her Valentines day present. We went and shot a bunch at a rental range (highly suggest doing this) and she liked the S&W MP40c. Compact 40 that is easily concealable.

Went shooting for a while with her and friends, ended up picking up what I call my "truck gun." Taurus Judge Ultralight. Shoots 45LC and 2.5" 410 shot shells. Lots of fun and goes with me in the truck. It will handle anything I need it for if the situation arises in the pickup.

After a short while wanting a conceal weapon of my own, I went out for the classic 1911. Ended up picking up a Kimber Ultra Raptor. Been taking some tactical pistol classes and practicing with it and I'm very impressed with the accuracy of this little gun (3" barrel .45cal) at range.

From there I picked up some intimidation factor, Rock River Arms Entry Operator AR-15. Still mostly stock but that will change in the near future...

Ah some pics:

Next will be a shotgun. Thinking a M2 Benelli.

I'm buying a Springer Loaded today but in general I've never been a huge 1911 fan. Sure they shoot great and have an optimal grip angle for the whole carry "cocked and locked" is odd for me. I prefer my 220 with the sissy decocker. :)

If I lived in a non-communist state I would carry my Glock 36 give how small it is and how nice it shoots. If I didn't care about size I would carry the 220 and if I needed a minimal print I would bring the Ruger LCR.

When you are at the range have a buddy insert a snap cap at random intervals in your mags.. this will help teach you how to quickly clear a misfire and get back in the fight.

You guys are scarin' me....

:D

We're not the ones to be fearful of.. ;)

I don't know.. to me .40 was an answer in search of a question.. then again I'm not a big 10mm fan either.

To keep life simple I stick with just a few calibers.

.22 el cheapo practice and fun
9mm relatively cheap and somewhat effective
.45 fight stopper
.223 Good CQB round, fairly cheap to shoot
12ga just cause everyone should have one
.38/.357 because wheel guns rock

To that I have a token smattering of stuff like a 7.62 SKS, FN 5.7 .. but they are more curiosities.

Right now I'm trying to buy optics for my rifles.. which still blows my mind how much the good stuff costs.

Building another AR.. trying to go super lightweight since my SCAR has spoiled me. So far I just have the lower and a Wilson trigger assembley.

But the lower is sorta on the fun side..

I like that it's made in Tumwater ---- must be light... like the beer they used to brew there! LOL

Hmmm, it would appear Steve is a true believer in the Zombie Apocalypse...:cheers:

lol.. or the more likely big earthquake.. zombies might be smarter than the average rioting citizen..

Just bought this today.. .45 just makes sense for Califonia..
