Blow people's f%$king legs off with that thing.


If i lived in america and shooting was easy id like an L95 RAF issue sniper rifle. Firing 7.62mm calibre ammo. Ive seen the guys in the field squadrons engage targets at over 1000 meters. Its also so light weight to handle also.

those are investments. if some in congress want to re ban certain weps, i got a feling those will be some on the block.  ( but they, if bought b4 a ban will be grandfathered in) and value will rise drastically

With an experienced operator the .45 can be incredibly accurate.  However with an inexperienced operator, it has a tendancy to pull.  My most accurate pistol is my Makarov bore 9mm FEG PA-63, trying to find ammo sucks though.

All true,
my most acurate  was the 357 Ruger GP 100 revolver short barrel, but the trigger action made up for all that.
but for carrying  I'd prefer light.
comming Sunday Ill be on the range here, with special OP's forces.
Ime dying to see how they perform ( we gonna shoot with 9mm taurus I believe a Beretta clone ) anything worth mentioning Ill post it.

Greetings from Brasil

I have a Russian makarov that is second only to my .45 in accuracy.   I have less than $200 in the mak, and well over $1000 in the .45.  Makarovs are a great pistol for the money, but they are getting hard to come by.


BP, sounds like you have an awsome project going, be sure to post some pics when you get it finished.  I used to carry a commander size 1911, but couldn't stand the thought of scratching it, so I switched to Glocks for carry.

All this talk of modded pistols, guess I'm going to have do some work on my S&W 586. 

I considered a G30 but have seen too many of the .45 glocks that have gone KaBoom because of an over pressure load. More than one round had gone through my colt that was headspace deficient from being rechambered and other than a little extra buck it just kept on running.

Jimbo!!!  Damn!!! Someone else who likes the 9x18!!!!
The true Maks are getting very hard to come by, however the FEG PA-63 is pretty readily available.   I bought mine for $150  with an assortment of different trigger springs, cleaning kit and a box of ammo.  The only thing I didn't like was the pull strength on it from stock.  The only thing I've done to it is replace the slide spring with a newer slightly stiffer one.
I've fired my fair share of weapons and the FEG holds it's own not only in it's price class, but with many much more expensive.
Not to mention, the weight and concealability of the FEG.  Many of the cops I know have been swayed by it as a concealed carry piece based off my experiences.

QuoteI considered a G30

I carry a G27.  Most of the glock kabooms have come from a case head failure.  All glocks leave a good portion of the case head unsupported, this causes their reliability, but also will blow if weak brass is used.  But a .45 kaboom would be more likely a failure in the brass than a failure in the weapon, .45 is one of the lowest pressure rounds out.  My 1911 leaves more of the brass unsupported than either my .40 or 9mm Glocks, and no matter how I have loaded them, I have yet to see any signs of over pressure or begining case failure. 

I consider my 1911 the corvette of my handguns, the Glocks are the old Ford trucks.  I once heard someone call Glocks the AK47 of handguns, not the prettiest or the most accurate, but always goes bang.


On the Maks, a very typical russian design.  They have always made very simple weapons, and the simplicity is what makes them so good.  I have a few soviet designed rifles, and they, just like the Mak are designed so a russian peasant can maintain and operate them

Yeah, the FEG is a very basic design, which also contributes to it's light weight.

The 1911 is a damn fine weapon, but IMO the H&K Mk23 is a superior weapon.  I fell in love with that at the first trigger pull

for a pistol i'd like something compact yet not tiny. decent power but not tremendous recoil. something that fits nicely in my hand. with ammo that isn't an arm and a leg and easy to come by.

kel-tec .380

I went shooting for the first time in almost 15 years this past Sunday...  Went with a cute girl too. 

the price on that kel-tec doesn't seem too bad. it will fire any .380 cartridge? i may sound like a moron but i'm a bit new to guns in general. 

The kel-tec is a very reasonably priced offering.  Yes any .380 ammo will fire, but as with any weapon you will find the specific type that works best for you and your weapon.  Some of the cheaper FMJ's have a tendency of jamming in any weapon.   I stay away from cheap ammo.

Hey BP where do you shoot at?

Haven't been shooting in forever, let my membership at tulsa firearms expire years ago. Might go rejoin there. I need to go find someplace to run a box of ammo through this P10 to see if it has any feed or ejection issues I need to work on. Damn thing was so badly cared for I had to clean crap outta the mag just to get it to chamber the top round out of the clip when I brought it home.

Got a friend who lives out by Coweta going to go see if I can shoot there or if people are still allowed to shoot at the creek out back of Mohawk.

P.M. me over on TSR if you know of any good places for cheap.

Anyone here have any experience with Hi-Points?
I'm looking for something for my wife to keep at home. I work nights.
She is quit good with a Ruger mkII, and although a .22 can do some damage, I'm not sure it's the best way to go for her.

I'm thinking .380 or 9mm, maybe a small .38 also.

PJ.

Hi-Point?!?!?  Dear god No!!!!  They fall apart and jam almost predictably   Same with Cobra's.   Absolute crap!!!
I love my FEG and it definitely packs a decent punch, but ammo can be hard to find.   Kel-Tec's .380 is a very capable personal defense platform as I've already said and I'm very sold on their product.  Of course, if it's just gonna be a 'nightstand' sidearm, you can usually find old 6 shot .38's pretty cheap and the tech is mega simple so things don't break.

Kel-Tec .380.
light, cheap, reliable, easy to shoot, no safety to forget about
I picked mine up for 225

never had problems as far as falling apart with a hi point, jamming sometimes, but not as bad as heard. however, for home defense, find something she is comfortable carrying/holding/aiming, even a clean used gun of some kind

OK, Thanks guys.
I'll check out the Kel-Tec. As well as keep my eye open for a good
Feather weight .38.
