Agreed and that's why I've been rampaging the paintball lately. The tactical espionage of woodsball is extremely thrilling. Yes firing off the marker is not quite a powerful as a real gun but hey atleast I have real moving targets that can shoot back at me

You know, that's a very good idea. There's a paintball place on the same road as my range back home. We drive past it all the time but rarely talk of going in. I like the tactical part but getting shot with a paintball, not so much. It would be a tough sell for my wife too cause she's got a know at least one of the hits she gets is gonna come from me, lol. We both know I couldn't pass up a chance if I thought I could get away with it.

Random story... It's winter...
My foray into firearms started about 8 years ago. Before that it was little to nothing. Dad didn't hunt... I think my parents have a .38 SW from like... 1950 hidden in the house, but no ammo.
About 8 years ago, one of my customers was getting out of firearms at his store. He had two pistols, a .45acp and a 9mm and they were marked at $200ea and he said he'd sell them both to me for $350. So what did steal for such a low price? Nothing... I bought a pair of Hi-point pistols lmao. I had no idea, but it seemed like a solid deal for a pair of entry level guns.
I ended up giving the 45 to my parents a few years back for home defense. "something is better than nothing"
The 9mm had feeding problems from the get go. I called the mfg, they argued with me for a bit and sent me a magazine. By that time I got into higher quality guns and never shot the 9mm again. Its just been sitting in my safe. Yesterday I threw it in my truck and put two mags through it without any hiccups. I smiled.
Its one of those guns that is only worth about $120 max used/ street value. Maybe i'll keep it in the daily. If I'm ever without my carry weapon at least I have something that goes bang.
It is a ugly hunk of crap tho...
*edit* When I bought it I called a buddy who was into guns and he says "clean it before you shoot it" So I go through the manual like 5 times and can't find any thing about field stripping it. Thats because you can't 'field' strip it. Its held together with rolled pins, and they suggest tearing it down and cleaning every 1000 rounds.

LOL, pain is temporary.
Picked up two new to me guns over the holidays, a glock 23 and a smith and wesson airweight 38 special. Got the glock as payoff on a car I sold and bought the smith to help a guy out of some financial issues. So anyone interested in either of them? Willing to ship to your ffl on my dime just need to get my money back out of them.

Thats pretty sweet man. Where did you learn how to do that
http://m.instructables.com/id/LeatherKydex-holster/?ALLSTEPS
I used two pieces of kydex instead of backing it with leather, not really too hard to do cost about 25 dollars for the materials locally. The sheets of kydex are cheaper online but I didn't have time to order them and wait. Need to cut out the belt loops at work today and it should be good to go.

At least ammo seems to be staying on the shelf lately. I've been looking for deals on .223 or 5.56 and suddenly 100rd boxes of 9mm, 38, 40 and .45 are in stock everywhere. There's still a 3 box limit here so I picked up 3 boxes last week and another 6 boxes today at two different stores. I've got over 3k rounds of 9mm now and still can't help but buy whatever I come across.
I'm on afternoon shift as of next week so I plan to start hitting the outdoor range a couple mornings a week. Sleep in, go for a run or hit the gym and then guns and disc golf.

I picked up 3 boxes (350 rounds per box) CCI Blazer Brass 9mm for $100 per box at Gander Mountain about 3 weeks ago and a box of CCI MiniMags (limit 1 box ). That puts me a little over 2k rounds 9mm and about 3k rounds 22lr.

I know this will be off topic of handguns but whatever, what isnt off topic on this forum. anyways i will be 20 on the 9th of this month, (still legal age to buy a rifle). my dad was going to buy me a stripped lower so i can build my own AR. so i called up a local gun shop and they had palmetto stripped lowers in stock for $99. I figured it was a decent price for a decent lower so once we got done working (he took me to work to help him with plumbing on rental houses) we drove over to the shop. i asked if i could fill out all the paperwork since it would be in my name and my dad pay since it would be my birthday present. guy said no so i said whatever i would pay for it and my dad would just pay me back. so i fill out the transfer form and the guy takes it back to his computer and types and clicks for awhile and comes back and say well we cant sell this to you cause your not of age. im like da licorice im older than 18 im buy a rifle lower. and he was like well we cant sell it to you for the chance you would build it into a pistol. i want to smack every law maker who voted yay for that dumbass law.
Thats a bunch of crap just go to another gun shop with people who are not total morons. I bet that same guy would give you hell for tryin to buy a round that can be used in a rifle or pistol on the off chance you try to use it in a pistol. Boycott his shop and find a real gun shop to deal with

Im just going to have my dad buy one monday when he gets off work from another shop and I will build it and then he will iust transfer it to me as a rifle. It really made my day poopty because I worked for free for my dad for 10 hours in trade for going and picking it up a week before my birthday.
My lgs would sell you one no problem. If you build a pistol thats on you. Transfer it to you? No transfers or registration of any type here in good ole Tennessee! Nothing other than a quick background check k when u buy, I really hate it for you guys in your nazi states.

Anytime you buy a firearm and you fill out the transfer form. They register the serial number to your name in a gun registry with the atf. Then you have to go to someone who holds and ffl to transfer the guns between people so youre not liable if the tradee goes and kills someone and then that gun is tracee back to you. And it is a a law that someone under 21 cannot buy a stripped ar lower. When the ffl is filling out the sale forms they have to choose an option of "other" and qith that option you uave to be 21. But if you buy ir transfer a complete rifle yoi only uave to be 18.

Sucks for you but I can see the decision behind the law. I wouldn't have understood it myself at that age but there's a lot of decisions we are really not prepared for yet. Not necessarily you, just speaking in general and that is who the rules are for.
I have to update my SSN this week so it reflects my recent citizenship change and then my application for my AR should go much smoother. It used to take a couple days for them to check with Canadian Immigration but that step is no longer necessary.
In anticipation, I started collecting ammo this weekend to conform to the standard 1000 rounds per firearm and was rewarded nicely. I picked up 3 20 round boxes of 223 on Friday and when I went back for more, (3 box limit) they had restocked with the 100 round boxes. 3 trips later and I'm sitting on 1000 rounds.
My wife is so not impressed with me right now, lol.
