I didn't know...I've been outta the game for a bit...'Mom' doesn't want gun mags around...till the kids are better adjusted. NRA life member and the mags go to my folks house in Ill. AHHHH! I do hit an indoor range up here in Kingwood at least once a month...when the little monsters are at school... I'll have to check around and see if I can try one... (Kimber, not kids) Thanks ...By the way, Whats a Sabre??? ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #28 March 28, 2003 Kimber is basically the top of the line 1911 you can buy without having someone bench make one for you. Even then, the slide and rails are at a much higher tolerance. Accurate and reliable. They'll run you from about $800-1500.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve1 5 #32 March 28, 2003 QuoteHmmm, I wonder if God meant me to be a Texan instead of an northeastern Yankee. hoping that some of you could tell me how a newbie could start in on this, without buying a gun or getting special permits. I'm sure many ranges would let you rent a gun to shoot, as Dave mentioned. I'd bet you'd end up buying one though. It's kind of like renting skydiving gear. Once you try it you'll like it, and want your own stuff. It might also be good to have someone teach you safety basics (if possible). Firearms, can be pretty lethal. My brother had no interest in guns at all growing up. He lived in L.A. during the riots and found out there was noone to call, if you needed help. So I took him out pistol shooting. From that moment on, he was hooked. He now has two pistols. Even if you have no interest in home defense, they are fun to shoot.....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #33 March 28, 2003 >>The H&K is a nice weapon, but by no means would I consider it a "trade up." Just because it costs more, doesn't mean its a better weapon. << I agree. The boreline is too high above your hands, making it difficult to get fast hits. Also has a trigger that is even funkier than a Glock.

AggieDave 6 #35 March 28, 2003 Yeah, get a Kimber! Take a look at the...fuck-it, I'm not going to say a model, there are a lot of really good models from Kimber. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SniperCJ 0 #36 March 28, 2003 Or if you REALLY wanna fight it, go get an Infinity (www.sviguns.com). Theyre a maker of high end custom 45's and 9's. Some border on "space gun" looking but theyre nice! Theyre in the 2 and 3+ thou range. I think mine sells for $2500, which I would NEVER (never say never...) spend on a handgun. Fortunately I won mine at a sniper match....heeee!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #37 March 28, 2003 Oh yeah, those hot-rods are very very nice. Not good for anything but the open class at an ISPC meet, but still nice.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
