Any other Firearm owners/enthusiasts here?

Really? Whew... Here in Mississippi all I all you need are fingerprints, a picture, $124, and a bad attitude.

(I did have to wait 4 months for mine, but then again, I had to wait 6 months for my FFL.)

Yeah there are a bunch of anti-gun liberals here. The latest law passed says that a dealer can't sell a gun manufactured after 2003 unless it has an internal locking mechanism. That pretty much eliminates 95% of all choices available. That's why I have to stock up. You can't even transfer in a handgun from another state that was manufactured in 2003.

I have a C&R FFL, but not a regular one....it took a few months to get that, but they are nice to have.

Thanks KYred couldn't remember if it did or not. They only had up to the 44 at the range I was referring to. Which the 44 is still a cannon

No doubt... If I wanted that caliber, I would probably just carry a carbine of some sort. I'd rather have a sore shoulder than a sprained wrist... lol

I think Magnum Research only carries .357mag, .44mag, and .50A&E in the Desert Eagle line now... They have another line of pistols called the "Baby Eagle" or something like that, that has the 9mm, .40, and .45 calibers... Hell, if I remember right, they also sell some bolt action single shot pistols for silhouette shooting... they used to come in all sorts of rifle calibers... Scary stuff... lol

Holy s***! When I transfer ownership now since I have the FFL, I have to fill out the ATF forms, but before the FFL, I didn't have to fill out any paperwork around here... According to the highway patrol office, you don't have to do anything regarding a firearm transfer from citizen to citizen.

Internal locking mechanism, as in the Taurus Hammer lock safety or something?? That is crazy s***... I have a pile, literally, of those damn masterlocks that come with alot of the newer guns now... Too bad I can't think of anything to use them for.

That is damn crazy about the guns manufactured in 2003... Sheesh.

Looks like i'm living in the wrong state

Yes, the internal locking mechanism is the one you are referring to on the Taurus. Smith and Wesson also has a few....they use a screw that goes into the trigger guard and you need a "special" key to remove it. More stupid crap if you ask me. I've got a pile of those external locks too...they are useless.

Yeah i'm pissed, because I know for sure CZ is not going to put the locks on their handguns. Anything decent will have to be bought used.

 

[fastdrvr23]

Also have shot a few full autos. Mac 10, Isreali Uzi, M-16, and a wild full auto pistol(don't remember the name but it looked like a baretta with a handle on the front. Anyone ever seen one of these???

I've been trying to figure out which pistol you are talking about, I can see it in my head, but can't remember the name... This isn't it is it? http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=8299481

That thing sure as hell doesn't look like a beretta though, so I must be off a little.. lol Hell, that isn't the one I am thinking of though... Hmmmm. Oh well... Talking about full autos...

My dad has a Class III license with a collectors provision, so he owns a few full autos from WWII. My grandfather was in the war too. He was a combat engineer in Italy though, and actually ran a steam shovel. Weird huh? Anyway, back then they could ship enemy weapons home as long as they didn't ship ammo with them... He shipped a total of 57 firearms, Russian, German, Italian, British and American home while he was over there... When he died my dad inherited them all... I am trying to remember the ones that have select fire... Let's see: Browning B.A.R., M2 Carbine, SMG3 (Grease Gun), Thompson .45 submachine gun, Italian M38, and a really weird
looking British Carbine (I can't remember what that thing is called.) Anyways, you ought to see the fireproof safe my parents have at their house for all that s***, its crazy... lol.

At any rate, the .30-06 you are talking about was probably the semi-auto M1 Garand Rifle... It's a big heavily built rifle, and an awesome weapon.

Yeah, before too long, to carry a handgun we'll have to carry the slide or cylinder in one pocket, and the frame in the other... LOL

On my little smith .22A, the first thing I did was rip off the metal piece that allowed the gun to fire only when there was a magazine in the gun... That really pisses me off too... Oh well, I guess manufacturers don't want their combat hanguns to be too "dangerous"... *Bleh*

here is a of my baby. this thing is for protection only, not serious taget shooting or hunting going on. can't afford the rounds.

 

[mypfizzle]

ive been looking into getting a hk usp compact.. 40 cal.. anyone have any thoughts on that gun? or any reasons why i shouldnt get it"?

 

[nckid]

I just ran into this thread, I just started buying guns
I've only bought one so far, a 9mm carbine rifle, but have a few more in mind that I want; .40 cal. handgun, maybe an AK-47, probably a couple of other assault rifles at some point

That's a sweet weapon. I'll have to post a few pics of mine. Is ammo expensive where you live? At my local Walmart I can get 100 rounds of 9mm Winchester for 10.99

Also www.natchezss.com sells CCI Blazer 9mm ammo for under 5 bucks a box for 50 rounds. But I hear you...shooting is pretty expensive, especially the big calibers.

One of my friends has one of these along with a .357 barrel for it. I've only shot it with the .40 cal barrel, but it's a damn accurate handgun...the groupings are nice and tight. It also has an ambidexterous mag release...but I think all of the hk's have that. I'm sure some other people could chime in on this one with some opinions.

As for myself, my .40 cal gun is a CZ-40. It was a great price and is very accurate and reliable....I've put a few thousand rounds through it without any issues.

H&k make a great pistol. I currently own a USP Compact .45 that I shoot IDPA with sometimes... An awesome gun. I've owned a Full size USP .40 with the interchangeable 9mm barrel, it too was a really reliable, quality pistol.

The only cons I would have with the USP Compact are it's price (like every other handgun nowdays) and it only comes with 1 magazine, or at least they used to.

If you are interested in the H&K, check out the following in addition to what Dan recommended, they should be about the same size and $:
Glock Model 23 -- .40
Sig Sauer P220 Pro -- .40
Beretta Centurion 96 -- .40

All you need in KY for a concealed carry permit is be 21, a backround check (no violent, alchahol related charges), a clear psychiatric record, take a training course, and hit a targewt with your handgun 8 out of 20 shots (that's pitiful)

 

[mazdadan]

and hit a targewt with your handgun 8 out of 20 shots (that's pitiful)

Sounds as easy as a driving test...lol. Most people could hit a target 8 times without even aiming.

Gosh, at least you guys have a shooting test... We had nothing of the sort... I sure as hell wish we had though, it sounds like it'd be fun... I used to look forward to my qualifying with the M9 in the Army... Free practice.

Our qualifications are really pathetic.
1. 21 years old
2. Background Check
3. FBI Fingerprinting
4. 4 month waiting period
5. $124

Thats it... That's pretty scary when it comes down to it.
