Gun thread (pictures)

[mitdr774]

My dad has had nothing but problems with is and a buddy of mine had the same problems with his. I am over 600 rounds into mine and this is its first issue. I honestly feel as though the life span of this gun is maybe 2000-3000 rounds before major repair.

I have a M&P9 shield that replaced the PF-9 as I lost faith in the PF-9 a few years ago due to issues others were having.

Interesting side note, it shoots about a foot high at 25 yards. Grouping isnt very good, but that is to be expected.

The kel tec or the Shield shoots high?

 

[mitdr774]

PF-9, Should have clarified. I have yet to shoot the Shield at that distance.

 

[ahtoxa]

I haven't shot my shield that far either, nor do I intend to, honestly. I'll shoot it to 10 yards usually. 7-10 yards is my most practiced range with the shield. My walther is far, far better at longer distances. Better trigger and a full size gun.

I like the concept of the KelTec KSG but unless it comes down in price I'll never give it a try. Like ahtoxa, I don't care for the cheap feel of KelTec's pistols.

Im all for the 45, been a fan ever since I shot one.. Some day Ill own one.. :blankface: But I have a Roberts 245 Im sighted at 200 yards before I have to raise up elevation.. My grandfather bought it directly from Winchester and it only has a 6 digit serial number and its in mint condition. Only bad thing is that the rounds are not cheap, its just not a plinking gun.

Could you share a picture of your Roberts 245; I've never looked at one before.

I want to like kel tec. They seem to be rather innovative, but their overall quality is lackluster, it seems, based on stories like yours.

I like their new bull pup shotgun and their made right here in Florida. I'm also a fan of the pmr man that thing is sweet. It's just a fun gun but 30round pistols that are normal sized are just super cool. They catch a bad rap sometimes but I know people that swear by them.

I used to have a Springfield xds 45 when they first came out. I was surprised how little the kick was that being my first 45. And man did it leave big holes. Unfortunately times got hard for me last year and they had a recall so I traded that in over any of my others. I keep my eyes open for used ones that have been fixed already but never see them used. The only one I saw was selling at new prices

Based on my experience it seems as though a lot of people expect a lot of recoil from the .45 ACP. In reality it isnt a very hot round. Its a heavy bullet at fairly low velocities. Sure it can be loaded hot, but it is still limited compared to other rounds out there.

A friend worked up some safe, just barely, .357 loads for me that about double the energy of a typical .45 ACP. Those have some recoil and are a lot of fun to shoot.

Completed another AR-15

 

[krakenredbeard]

Nice!

 

[Kuntryboy865]

Nice!

Yep built it for hd and so my wife has something to shoot. Btw nice dyno numbers

 

[Kuntryboy865]

Best IMO discreat break down case for my AR

 

[ahtoxa]

I like that. Sometimes you don't want a case that obviously says you are carrying a rifle.

Been meaning to post pics of my EDC pistol, now with character-adding holster wear.

Going to the range today, too.

My Shield in a Tommy Theis hybrid horsehide holster.

You can see the slide has some wear on the front edges. Botherede at first, but it gives it character now.

 

[mitdr774]

How do you like that style holster?
