Weapons - What you have (NOT a political discussion)

[Sierra1]

It's definitely gonna print.

 

[Ss1]

I was always surprised how many weapons the population of America has

 

[Sierra1]

And at this point in history, it is quite the bone of contention. That's why the thread has the warning on it.

 

[Ss1]

Someone is for, and someone is against weapons?

 

[Sierra1]

Yes. The moderators created this thread to show what you have, talk about what you and others have, but to leave politics out of the conversation, and respect everybody's opinion for and against them.

Firearms are fascinating pieces of equipment that have specific purposes for a job, thus so many calibers and configurations In addition to the history of the firearm themselves as well as the manufacturers. Truly amazing tools that are collected by many of us to be appreciated

And they take up a lot less room than car collections.

 

[StefanOnHisS10]

Well put @Sierra1. If you have anything firearms to share with us @Ss1 please do.

 

[Sierra1]

. . . . And they take up a lot less room than car collections.

Yup, and easier to keep hidden from the wife. And usually, not always, less expensive than cars.

 

[Sierra1]

Well put @Sierra1. . . .

Thanks. Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn.

Haha, Nice proverb

Haha, you noticed I did not talk about the price, so true.

 

[Mak10]

I've driven all the vehicles I own. I can't say I've shot all the firearms I've collected.

 

[Sierra1]

You have a bigger and better collection.

 

[AusTexS10]

Yup, and easier to keep hidden from the wife. And usually, not always, less expensive than cars.

That's one step beyond concealed carry.

 

[Sierra1]

With a life sentence if you get caught.

Me too with the antiques inherited from my Dad.

Back to “whatcha got” I’ve really come to appreciate the little Mossy mc2sc for being such an easy carry when I want and accuracy on the range. Their reverse engineering of the P365 and others is well done!

Have y'all seen what the Smith M&P auto loaders have been chambered in? 30+1 22 magnum. They've also done the same pistol in the 5.7. Gas operated delayed bolt, looks like new tech to me. Ugly, but pretty slick tech.

Following Keltec's lead (13 years too late)?

PMR30 (2010): 30+1 .22WMR

Ugly? Enh. Eye of the beholder and all. I'm not sure the why for the .22 WMR. Easy to shoot, but ammo is kinda high. Just like the 5.7. I have the Ruger version and love it. Wishing it was easier to conceal; shoots like a dream. Fiocchi had the 5.7 selling at about 50 cents/rd, but it's gone up recently. They also started making sub-sonic 5.7. But that doesn't make sense. Impact = mass x velocity. The 5.7 doesn't have much mass, but it's moving at 1,900-2,100 fps. Dropping the speed to subsonic, is going to reduce its effectiveness substantially.

S & W has their new folding carbine (fpc) that will fit perfectly in a saddlebag or backpack; perfect for camping/hiking. Right now, it's only chambered in 9mm. I'm holding out for it chambered in .45. Ruger has a folding carbine chambered in 5.7, but it doesn't fit in a saddlebag. Both carbines use pistol magazines for convenience.

Only hunting rifles and some have rifled ones. But rifled in units. [Content deleted - CW] I don’t like hunting!
