long time commin but i finally got my handgun

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Damn that didnt look like fifty yards to me.

The vid shows why I believe inexperienced shooters can get better use with a nine mm. It takes you an entire second to get back on target. Your whole body is moving. Id rather be able to take two shots with nine mm then one of forty five.

Watch guys shooting IDPA or similar with the same gun. Their guns barely move, let alone their entire body. It takes ALOT of practice to be able to shoot quickly and accurately with large bore pistols.

Yeah my number keys are broken...
 
my phone is hard to judge distance with. it may have been 45yds, but i judged it to be about 50yrds. i will be doing alot of shooting with this. this was the first shots really ever with a large pistol. i was going slow, i can shoot it faster, but i wanted to get a decent veiw on the guns ability as i am just starting out. i dislike 9mm, i always have. i think some of it is that everyone has on and i hate having what everyone has.

I don't like change. I like to know what people are talking about. Especially when dealing with other gun people. With all the laws and local regulations dealing with mag capacity and such its good to use the correct terms. In California an 8 round magazine is the limit but you can feed that 8 round magazine with a 10 round clip. The 10 round clip is legal but a 10 round magazine is not.

That's odd. Why? What's the difference? I mean, the rounds are there in either case, why care if they're in a clip or mag?
 
it is cali...everything is illegal or will give you cancer or both.


i have only put something like 60-70 rounds through this gun myself. i have only shot a 22 mag revolver a dozen times and a .270 Thomson center contender a few times thats it. i shoot shotguns and rifles and until just resent years have not had a use for pistols of any kind much less large bores. i will be getting a s&w .460 next. i am going for the put it down with one and not have to shot more then one approach. either way i'll do an update of this pistol after the summer of shooting cause i will shoot it just about every weekend. i will be getting my conceal/carry permit in about 2 weeks aswell. alteast getting the class and testing portion out of the way i am not sure how long the state takes to get it back to us here.
 
wow! i just realized when i cleaned it tonight it was mostly dry during that shooting. i was thinking damn, that is a strong spring. friction is a mofo! i gave it a good "hows your father" tonight, much nicer. i can't wait to see how it does now that it is properly lubricated. i never thought to give it a lube down before shooting it, never had to with my pumps i got. makes sense though. i never use semi auto shotguns and never have used new semi-auto rifles so this is a learning experience as i go. i'll hopefully be out sunday to do some shooting i'll call it "my sunday mass".

part of the deal is i am doing this on my own. aside from the tips you guys gave me i don't have any assistance in any aspect of my shooting pistols. i am highly skilled in long guns, but handguns i am new. i am trying to get some experienced friends out for some shooting, but it is strangely tough. everyone said "when you get your pistol first thing we'll get out shooting" everyone i have talked to has kinda pussyfoot around the idea.f' it lets just shoot some ****.

A magazine is what feeds the weapon, a clip is something that is used to load a magazine. Hi capacity magazine restrictions are goofy any way you look at it. I haven't looked for awhile but I think the California legal ar15 had non removable 10 round mags if I remember correctly. A lot of people are defining "assault rifles" as any long gun with a removable box magazine of ten rounds or more. It's all goofy stuff really. I just prefer to use the correct terminology.
 
No harm done with not lubing before shooting I think some manufacturers recommend not lubing during the first however many rounds.
I love the feeling of racking back the slide of a well lubed auto pistol.

i figured so. i liked is because it showed me the friction points as it didnt do much to the gun, but i could see points it was rubbing on. it was smooth and awesome sliding that back for the first time well lubed up! cant wait to shoot it in this new found glory!
