The Gun Thread

breech loading Black Powder cannon in tomato sauce can caliber-

My son just purchased his first handgun. A Glock 17. He also bought some ammo for self defense.

Great! My grandson has earned his Concealed Carry, so proud of him, he is also Born again and Spirit filled, and exercising His prayer language. I am looking into the 80% complete build kits, all seem to be on backorder right now, so we are in the wait list, will probably go with the model 19 style.
An officer I purchased a backup 9mm he had when his department went to 40 cal had Speer Gold Dots, they were the most consistent expansion in the widest range of uses.
My grandson, on the other hand, will be using Full Metal Jacket since grandpa has 1,000's rounds.
He is sticking with 9mm, and I am glad, we went through the 38, 45, 357, 10mm, 40 cal. and back to 9mm (which is a 38 short) roller coaster in my lifetime.

long before ccw was reestablished here my friend from Texas was back, he and his wife carried Glock all the time, I asked why Glock? His answer- " they have a blocky grip, spongy trigger, horrible sights, but they go bang, every time."

Cannon fun for the 4th-

Building a couple 80% Glock 19's, lower frame parts are non existent right now, anyone have a few sets laying around?

17th century grenade launcher-

I'm on the lookout for a new Glock 45 - 5th generation 9mm handgun, but they seem to be almost continuously out of stock everywhere!

Just saw one at my local GS, send me a message I can give you the number
to heck with it, 319-668-2477 Gabes Guns, it looked real fine, I can see why a man with good taste such as yourself would like one.

Thank you!

9:30 tomorrow, they had a good price on it as well. where are you?

pretty cool how the Lord works to give us the desires of our heart, if we will but serve Him.

Does a Glock 26 earn any bragging rights?

Asking for a friend.

Dude...no. No bragging rights for a glock 26. Nice utilitarian carry piece, but that's a strict "no bragging" gun.

Here is a bragging gun. (I don't own one.)

Or maybe this might be more your style?

(If you didn't click the price list, the top config is 18K. But if you want the fanciest engraving it'll be an additional 34K. hahaha)

or finally this might be worth bragging about...

I don't even know how much this thing would be if you could get one. I saw one for sale a looooong time ago for like 250K. Wouldn't surprise me if it would pull ten times that much now.

Bragging is overrated though. Glock 26 is just fine.

How about this then?

Awesome firearm, "built like a tank". I am an old guy, so I am not a fan of recoil anymore, and as an old guy I only need one shot, and that can usually be accomplished with a 22, big game and stuff that would eat us excepted.
Preacher- do you have a Redhawk 9.5" ?

blessings

Yes, .44 magnum.

There isn't much recoil with that 9.5" barrel, nice and smooth. It is a blast to shoot, pun intended!

Great, are in in bear country?

There are a few around these parts.

Superredhawk is a great gun. Overbuilt. Yes, you can brag about this gun!... because I own one too! hahaha
