Nah don't worry this .22 Mag is probably going to be the last gun I buy unless I decide to upgrade my Hi-Point .45 to a Ruger, Glock or just keep it as its darn accurate and cheap for a .45ACP.

Nice...I wouldn't mind one myself. Just replace the wooden grips for rubber ones. cool.gif
mirocu
I like the wooden styled grips so I'll keep them smile.gif


I opted for the pellet version with the rifled barrel. I also ordered CO2 cartridges and special ones that oils up the gun as well as some pellets and six extra dummy shells. No holster though as I already have one for my Remington 1858 smile.gif

They also have the antique look and a more white one as well as a 7,5 inch. I would have gotten the antique if I didn't already have a real one so now I wanted the blued finish. Can't wait to get it, finally I don't have to fondle the real gun every time I need to get my revolver fix! smile.gif

Westworld was an old 70's sci-fi film depicting this amusement park that has different themes to it and the androids begin to go all FNAF (Five Nights at Freddy's) on every one.

Sold my .45acp Hi-Point for emergency money but that can be replaced with no problem. Speaking of which I've been looking at a Springfield .45acp or Taurus .357 Magnum. I like the 45 and still got ammo but to carry it I will need to go through the class again, the .357 Magnum is a Revolver and a weapon I know plus it was cheap. I'm also in the store for a new router since my old one died and the backup one though works, doesn't like mmo's.

As for the guns go we'll see which one I get when payday gets here. I like the .45acp Springfield and can always carry my .22 Mag. sure it's single action but at least it can bite more then the .22 cal. Long Rifle can.

It’s also now a hit series on HBO. Khajiit really enjoys it.

So... last weekend we had this even called Schützenfest in our village. It's a sort of big party with beer, sausages, fries, carousel and all that kind of attractions, kind of like your small country fair.

And a shooting competition.

It's held by a Schützenverein, which is an association ("Verein") of people who like to shoot. They have a long tradition in these parts that reaches back hundreds of years. Every village, no matter how small, has such an association.

Now, I'm a big city boy who only recently moved to the country side. As such, I have my views on these kinds of events and the people that hold them. To city folks like me, people in such associations are philistines with backward views and simple world views.

So yeah, we went anyway. Not during the disco hours when absolutely everyone is drunk out of their minds, but during the afternoon, when there's only a somewhat moderate level of jeering and carousing, and you can still find some people who're still sober. Somewhat sober. Mostly. Well, at least not "can't lie on the floor without holding on to something" drunk.

I wasn't going to try my luck at the price shooting, because if you accidentally win, you're in trouble, because all of a sudden you're obliged to do weird things and have a wooden disk nailed to your house and throw a big breakfast the next day and stuff like that. Considering the general level of drunkenness, I thought I'd just visit one of those fair booths where you can shoot an air rifle for fun and/or prices.

Now, last time I did that was probably 30 years ago and I was really bad at it. Really really bad. But I said to myself, now that you're here, you might as well. So I had a go and my first shot was... way off. But then I had a good run and in the end, 12 of 15 shots hit home and I won a plush flamingo and a plastic rose for my girlfriend.

And it was fun!

So yeah uh.. not sure where I was going with this story, but I had a good time firing a rifle so I guess it counts laugh.gif

Sounds like fun Stargle! In America those stories usually start with "Hold my beer!" or "Watch This!". Then end badly as someone picks a real gun instead of an air rifle. ohmy.gif

Congrats!


I just got back from the range. I spent a while using just iron sights, and it came out pretty well. Then I switched to the Eotech. I did better with iron sights! Maybe they forced me to concentrate more.

I also finally broke down and ordered this beauty. It turned out to be $200 cheaper buying it from my gun store and having them order it, than it would have been if I had bought it direct from Daniel Defense's website. Of course they have to order it and get it shipped. The last time when I bought my Sig that took about a week.

Finally, a new rifle means a new optic. I looked at a lot of the ones they had at the shop. I fell in love with The Vortex Razor AMD UH-1. It feels very open, so I can still see peripherally very well when I am looking down it. The reticle is not too big (my Eotech seems to cover up the target sometimes). And you can even use the different points on the reticle for different ranges. The top of the reticle for 50, the middle for 25, and the bottom for 10 yards.

Woman yes. But not hardly a badass. Neil Tyson DeGrasse can put his hands down. I just want to be sure I am the one that lives when the Raiders come, or the Deathclaws. Now I am going to go soak in the tub with my Love Me bath bomb. laugh.gif

Congrats yourself Rosa! I see you're able to get things a bit more powerful than what I can get. Without a license and a seven months waiting period anyway tongue.gif



My Colt is awesome! I love its weight, its color (blued) and everything about it! It just feels so right in the hand! The only cloud in the sky is the hammer as I've complained about already. It's the only thing that makes the gun feel meh. Other than that it shoots great and I love cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger which btw has a very good feel to it.

Put 54 rounds through it yesterday and I discovered why I was missing so much with the black powder gun; it's so much easier using both hands! tongue.gif Like the real version it also prints high. Not as high but still a bit high. I like that though.

How long does it take you to load all of the chambers?

About 10-15 secs I reckon. And I don't remove the dummy shells, I just open up the loading gate and put the pellets into them where they are.

Wanna post a pic but you guys already know what it looks like. It's very nice and blue in real light which cannot be seen in the pic I've posted from the website though, so mebbe I should post my own anyway.

Oops. Just goes to show how easy it is to misunderstand on the interwebz. No, I was talking about my CO2 gun which is the Colt one. My BP gun is a Remington smile.gif


Well, my BP gun takes a wee bit longer than that. I dunno... Maybe five minutes, taking my time and doing it properly.

I'll buy the ammo. I can't buy anything here, remember? Residence permit. Not official citizen.

I'm sure you can buy a blackpowder gun since they are not considered to be guns here. No license required as they are viewed as collectible antiques even if they still work smile.gif

Worth it for me though as I could finally own a real revolver and shoot it if I want to! I don't do it anymore though as they are antiques and I want to preserve them. Reason why I bought the CO2 version of the Colt SAA. But I could if I had to!
