Picked Up A New Toy Yesterday

[alphageek]

Very nice. I have been eyeing a 9mm for some time. Ammo for my .40 S&W is so expensive. I also have a Ruger 10-22, Win .270 and Browning 12ga. I have started buying materials to begin reloading as well. I have some members of a hunting club I am in that are going to work with me and show me the ins and outs that have been doing it for decades.

If you can turn a pen, reloading will be a piece of cake. I did it with my dad for many years. You just have to track how many times you reuse the brass and know what to look for with fatigue. The rest is just a process. It definitely makes the hobby much more affordable.

These days I keep my costs down.. 95% of my shooting is with my buckmark target pistol. It's as accurate as many bigger guns, but .22 ammo is much less expensive.

I'm on the road to reloading, ammo is so expensive I can't afford that and turning!
Dick, I said mine was the 40 S&W version...here is my new CCW carry...

Some on and in this thread may find this place of interest. It is called old faithful holsters. I just ordered two more of their kits, takes about 15 minutes to put together.

Or you can buy them already assembled. They are great quality and come in a number of styles for each gun make. They have video instructions on line.

They do take a while to ship but they tell you that up front.

If you conceal carry this is one of the better ones.

They also have other accessories, you can't beat their 30 day challenge guarantee. Or the 50 year warranty.

I am just a satisfied repeat customer!

Very nice pistol. I have a CZ 75 SP-01 and I love it.

Nice looking CZ! I hope it serves you well.

I never imagined that a bunch of "men" would get their jocks in a wad.

"Toys" are to play with. Guns are not "toys", they were designed and manufactured for one purpose and it's not playing.

Anything can be dangerous in the wrong hands, including a lathe, but guns have one purpose.
Now, before you continue your attack towards me, I'm for the second amendment and having the right to protect yourself and loved ones.

This is mine...

and it goes with me everywhere. I have my CCL and go to the range as often as money permits. That's much less lately with the cost of ammo being double what it was.

It is still not a toy.

Ah, a girl after my own heart. Nice little Pro you have there, Kelly. LOML has one just like it. They are fine shooters and quite accurate. And I have a few Sigs of my own.

And you are right... to a point. The original firearm was indeed built for one purpose. But not long after, a great many a sport (competition) was designed around one, hence the "toy" reference that many of us "men" often use with such purchases. Yes, they ARE dangerous, not just can be.

As for the cost. You can lower that by reloading. It really isn't difficult. I reload everything I shoot (except for .22s of course).
