The Gun Thread

I’d say stick with the WC’s.

Yeah, they're one of the few brands of 1911 magazines that are worth the premium coin. Mine are all Wilson, Para Ordnance or Kimber. I got the Kimbers in a mixed bag bulk magazine buy at a gun show, and I've been pleased with them. No problems at all.

It might be fun to ID it or narrow it down at least.

Was it a long gun (rifle or shotgun) or a pistol (revolver or automatic)?

I'm guessing it's a lever action in .45-70. Anyone wanna put up some bets before ShabbyChic responds?

Newbie poking nose in. I had to have my BIL come shoot an opossum in my hen house the other day because we don't didn't own any guns. But our youngest is 17 now and I can no longer claim he doesn't have a lick o' sense, so I purchased a little 9mm at Bomgaar's the other day. It was much less difficult than I anticipated. The bg check was completed in what felt like minutes, not days, and since I don't need a CCL, no class or safety training was required. I paid my money and walked out with my purchase. I have not yet done any practice with it. Need to find a safe place to do that. It is an SCCY, my brother says it looks like a toy but I reckon it will do the job I need it to do.

Oh. And it lives in a safe in my bedroom.

I'd recommend you take a class in gun safety.

I'd recommend you take a class in gun safety.

I agree it’s one of the best things you can do as a new gun owner.
