The unofficial GUN talk thread

[smelt240]

Its funny looking, I thought it should be part of a Wii shooting game or something....the wife thought it was a Lego gun...it does seem kind of irresponsible on Taurus' part to make it look like this, but if I had kids, they would know not to touch it anyway I guess... Ive never has any interest in a Taurus, other than maybe a Judge, just cause its different, but I like big handguns anyway.

holy shit. Yeah, you'll never get rid of that thing.  Better get it duracoated or something and ditch the green grip

My first thought was an old Vietnam style tigerstripe duracoat job on it with the black grips... my uncle might be able to do something with it though. I wish it had the neon pink grips, at least a girl would like it (maybe)..

pic wouldn't work right

This is on the table today. My lady's duty gun after a full day of range qualifying. Ewww Sig.... On a positive Lewiston PD will be changing to Glock Gen4's soon.

 

[smelt240]

I would think with everything going on in Lewiston lately, they would want an RPG for duty carry....

 

[Nate]

Haha. We want to start carrying at the FD too.

 

[Jamey]

Do they alow you to cc at fd?

 

[Nate]

Nope. Definitely not.

 

[smelt240]

No, only the tough guys who call in fires so they can shoot volunteer firefighters are allowed to have a weapon at a call....

 Nate, you get caught up on sleep yet from the last bunch of fires in Lewiston, or didn't they use you guys much?

 

[Nate]

Oh I'm about caught up now. I was at every one of them. I was actually on duty for the 30 acres woods fire and the second arson fire. Got called in on the other two arson fires while off shift.. Long week and a half.

I work for Lewiston full time. We don't have any volunteer positions. It's a 100% career department.

 

[inski]

Hope they all like the Glocks.  I like my gen4.

Kill it with fire....

 

[Gretsch308]

Anyone have a local resource that does Cerakote?

 

[smelt240]

Kill it with fire....

Better yet, I traded it for a nice little green laser illuminator for my -unwanted nighttime visitor removal device- AR15, plus a couple other trinkets.... coyotes or trespassers found to be in violation are in more trouble now... it lights up a pretty good area at 100 yds...

I actually thought you worked for Auburn for some reason... maybe I saw a silver WRX at one of their stations or something...

Surprised they aren't going usp 45 like Auburn

 

[smelt240]

Me likes my USP .45 tactical.....  I could never get into shooting a Glock, probably because Ive had the HK's for so long... the different grip feels alien to me or something. Kind of like a 1911... I know they are great, and Ill probably get one sometime, but I like shooting the HK too much to get used to something else.

 

[inski]

Burned up some .45 today.  Had some problems with the TulammoBrass.  A few (every 3rd ) had failed primer ignitions.  Don't buy that crap.  

The Springfield, Remington, and Kahr all got warmed up a bit.  The boys ran their fullsize 45s while I ran the Kahr.  My wife is now thinking about getting her own pistol.

 

[MuddyWRX]

Anyone looking for brass? Got some .223 some 5.56(crimped primer) .45 and probably a handful of .40

 

[smelt240]

So, I backed out of the getting the illuminator for the super cool zombie gun trade... traded for a Norinco SKS instead.... plus a bunch of 12 ga buckshot and slugs. Anybody got a 30rd mag for an SKS floating around?
