Gun purchases thread.

[Seriously Mike]

Got myself an airsoft Tommygun, as in a "Chicago Typewriter", that funky foregrip, drum mag and all. One problem with it, though - it's got a finned barrel, funky foregrip, drum mag, rear sight hood...and a M1A1 receiver with non-adjustable rear sight. I don't blame them, though, nobody has EVER done a correct airsoft M1928 receiver. Not even CAW with their conversion kit.

100 rounds of 9mm on Monday, 1000 rounds of 9mm today

my glock will be ready tomorrow, they have it but have to put on the night sights, glock ant put them in at the factory because its illegal to import tritium sights now due to them being a "radioactive device."

Even if these night sights are trijicons that would have been made in the us, shipped to austria then came back to the country it was made in....

Mine has the plain ol' finger-grooved one. I'll eventually get a set of wood grips.


Speaking of the 686, I was poking around in my garage earlier and found a substantial amount of .38 and .357. Since I just picked up 1100 rounds of 9mm and had 1000 rounds of .45 socked away, this is pretty much the first time in a loooong while that I have had a decent amount of handgun ammo laying around.

Pro-mags? Don't your Smiths deserve Mec-Gars?

I run the Pachmayr Gripper with the exposed backstrap on my 586. Model 10 has the full wraparound Pach, it was lying around.

Gun buying, I got a LW mid-length AR upper from AIM surplus and built that extra lower I had lying around. 300 Blackout will have to wait. Got another Hi-Power too, it will be on its way soon.

Guns sold. (S&Wshooter and Yournamehere are going to hate me)
Smith 4505, it was a tank and I'll likely never come across one again. But I like shooting my P220 better. Model 60, nice piece, but chewed my hand up. Prefer to carry and shoot the Kahr CM9. Model 64, it was DAO, got my Model 10.

I can understand selling the Model 60 if it tears up your hand, and the Model 64's that have had their hammer spur lopped off are an abomination

You're forgetting mine is an older stamped slide SIG. It weighs a good 1/2 lb less than a standard 1911. The 4505 was about 3 oz heavier than a standard 1911. So not quite a 3/4 lb difference.

You should order one, if they are not in your area. The quality over a Pro-mag is major. I've used them in just about all of my pistols.
