[QUOTE=a76marine;263632]I am looking at purchasing my first handgun but haven't done so yet. I am thinking a .40 cal Beretta. Any tips on licensing or purchasing your first gun?



A76MARINE first thing first Thank you and the rest of the your fellow JAR HEADS for putting the smack down in Iraq there are a lot of people here that are standing behind you!!!!!!!!! when you get back state side go to your local gun store they can walk you through the process all states are different. Dont be affraid to fondel different brand and models get what feels good in you hands (my fav. is my 1911 )
you should be right at home with the beretta personaly i want that ma duce. but no I cant have one in CA the banned the BMG but old Ronnie Barret now has the 416 and its a screamer. KEEP YOU HEAD DOWN

 

Wow ! After all these months finally something about GUNS!!!!!! I am getting ready to get my CNC and shoot at least 2 days a week, also we reload. I own the following guns:

22 Browning buck Mark Micro Bull
22 Smith & Wesson 22A
22 Ruger Charger with a red dot
22 Contender (Match Barrel) scoped
357 S&W Lady Smith 65-5
357 S&W 686 6in barrel
357 S&W 25-5 6in barrel
380 Bersa Thunder
45 Kimber ACP

My guy owns:

45/410 Taurus Judge Both the 61/2 and 3in barrels
44 Mag S&W
45 Long Colt S&W
357 S&W 686 1/2 barrel
Ruger SR9
22 Marlin 60 rifle
357 Contender G2 scoped
My guy says that teaching me to shoot was VERY VERY EXPENSIVE

 

Bersa .380
Taurus .38 snub
Sig Sauer P226 9mm
Glock 21 .45
Norinco SKS 7.62 x 39mm
S&W Model 3000 12 gauge (870 clone)
DPMS Panther DCM AR-15 .223


I was at the outdoor range for full day of tactical handgun training few weeks ago and a local dealer brought a full auto 12 gauge shotgun w/ 30 rd drum magazine. I'm sorry that I can't recall what he called it, but it looked mean. Over $2000 price tag. They had a website. If I can recall it I'll post a link. It wasn't a Street Sweeper.

I really need to consolidate calibers. Too divergent.

 

was it the Spaz 12 there one more but i cant rember the name

 

Here is my list of guns:

- Lever action 25 cal. rifle - I don't know that manufacturer

- Winchester Bolt action 22 cal. rifle

- Taurus 9mm pistol

- Colt M4 5.56mm rifle with close-combat optics scope

I will have to look through my personnal laptop to see if I have pictures of any.

 

Sounds awesome! I will probably end up getting one, but not for a while. There are a couple other guns I want first. If you have anymore pics I would love to see them!

 

AA12?

It wasn't the AA-12 or the Spas, it must have been a custom conversion. I'll have to ask one of the other guys that was at the range with me for the website, they had a business card w/ web addr on it. I'll post it if I can find out.

 

I will keep my Gun Information to my self but I must say (Tony) my Brother I did not know that you were in to Guns. We must talk some day maybe at the BBQ. Next time lets have some Shooting with a Hog Roast.

You must watch this with a full screen!

I have too many to count, and I'll keep most of them to myself, but some that are special to me are a 7.62 Nagant Revolver from WW1, Steven2 12 gauge double barrel with 30" modified barrels, Remington 30/06 pump, Marlin 30/30 lever all given to me by my grandfather. I would like to add to the collection a Weatherby 460 magnum, 28 gauge double barrel, and Sharps 50.
