The Firearm Thread

I need to hunt for some 9mm again this weekend.

Are they in season?

[Ultrarunner]

anyone have any experience with the new glock 44?

Limited, but yes. I helped a friend and his SO sight in their lasers. They had little to no experience so I shot their pistols and adjusted the lasers to the groups.
Shoots reasonably well, very low felt recoil. Reliably accurate (I was shooting .5 inch groups @ 5yds). Fits smaller hands comfortably.
Both pistols were relatively new. No failures to feed or eject shooting inexpensive CCI .22lr standard velocity ammo.

I was skeptical about buying one. I had read and had seen reviews on YouTube. I took it to the range last week and shot mostly CCI and also some bulk Federal. I had one failure in about 300 rounds and that was an ammo issue....the bulk Federal. I'm glad I didn't listen to the reviews. I found it to be reliable, fun, and cheap to shoot.

Too bad we're not closer. I would take the 30 cal and 30-06 off your hands...

Im near charleston sc.if your close you can have it.

12 hour round trip might be a bit much, even for me.

Is it ok if I send my sister to pick it up, she lives in Hanahan?

On second thought I can just imagine the conversation..."Hey, sis. Can you go to some stranger's house that I met on the internet? he's got some spare ammo he's giving away and I'd like you to pick it up. *click* Sis? Are you there? I guess that was a no".

Gunbroker has plenty .you just have to find your local ffl dealer when purchasing .it has to be shipped to a person or buisness with a ffl. Usually between a 25 qnd 50 dollar charge.lIcql firearms dealer can help you.
If your in north carolina you need someone whom knows the laws.i have refused to sell weapons to nc residents because i do not know thier laws .from what i am told they run undercover purchases a lot to catch people.

There is a huge gun show in RVA this weekend. Friend of mine is going. (I'm not going anywhere near it!) I'm going to see if I can get a report back on what they actually have.

I must admit that I last used him about 5 or 6 years ago. He may be higher now.

I went with the classic 30-30. Was the first gun I used to hunt deer back about 40 years ago. Felt really good to hold/shoot one again.

I will probably go (with a handful of friends) to the early Oct. show at the Dulles Expo Center. Northern Virgina area folks, if you are interested in saying "Hi," give me a holler. 🙂

I have an antique muzzle loader that's been in my family for quite some time. Does anyone know of a Triangle area dealer that might be able to tell me more about and/or appraise/restore it. It's not in bad shape, but it's had virtually nothing done to it for 30 years. I remember my dad firing it once many many moons ago (maybe 35-40 years).

It makes a great home defense weapon...how needs a baseball bat when you have a six foot long 1/4" thick metal barrel!
