Can we have a bun thread too? They are less intimidating than gun threats.


Did somebody say Bun?

You're preaching to the already converted, I'm a sucker for .38 Special!!! Their vids are arms-free, yet have nice buns, best of both worlds!

Yes!  (Actually I have been hunting,but it's not a hobby of mine).  My Christmas present this year was a very nice Smith & Wesson Model 39, my favorite semi-auto...



Oh dang, an actual firearm!

Beauty.  I love my S&W MP.  I have several cop friends and they all have Glocks from work.  Once they fire my S&W they want to trade!  I do want a 1911 some day, just because.

As for hunting, many of my friends do and I get the benefit of some free venison once in awhile!

My Model 39 is the direct ancestor of the entire M&P line...it was the first of S&W's semi-auto duty weapons, made from 1954-1983. I had one in the early 80's when i was a reserve deputy. Sold it to a friend because Igot tired of policing up brass (I was doing a lot of reloading then) and he in turn sold it to my younger brother.  I've been trying to buy it back from him for 20+ years but no luck, so I finally gave up and went after another.

Glocks are fine (German-built, how about that...?) firearms, but they're too plastic for my taste. I had a colt Combat commander in the 70's - it was a compact model of the 1911; i couldn't hit a darn thing with it.  It was a lot of fun to shoot, but it would have benefited from some gunsmithing.

I thought Glock is Austrian, not German? It has been a while since I stopped my shooting hobby but I am quite sure my Glock 30 was made in Austria. I love the .45 ACP cartridge, not as snappy as the 9 mm, that is why I got a Glock 30 when I wanted a compact .45. My full size .45 was a Norinco 1911 with a Wilson trigger, hammer and sear. I used that gun and a Smith & Wesson 627 revolver for steel plate matches. The S&W was a Performance Center 8 shooter. Had to shoot it in the pistol class most of the time because in the revolver class you were only allowed to have 6 rounds in the chambers in most matches. A lovely revolver that used clips because there were no 8 shot speedloaders. So much easier to find your brass back too, pistols are messy things. ;)

You're right, it's Austrian.  Just keep in mind that from this side of pond, it's all "forrin' parts."

Until your post the other day I'd never heard of this one. What a beauty! I looked around and found one locally for $400. Didn't get it but they seem to be great deals.
