I want a .45 Tactical. It is supposed to have most of the great features of the Mk23 without the awful price.Dachande said:

You'll like it. My buddy just got his .40 usp and its an awesome piece.
On the other hand - Any body here know how to detail strip the Walther P99? This thing is going to get a custom MDC trigger job.
This trigger sucks balls....
I'm a proud new papa of a brand new Hi Standard 1911A1 .45 ACP pistol 
I can't pick it up until June 3rd though. Here's two crappy cell phone pics I took at the gun store/range. Tax, pistol, case, lock, and processing fee totaled $499.08. Not bad I'd say. Until I am out of my sling in 6 weeks (I had shoulder surgery yesterday on my right shoulder) I'm going to have to learn to shoot with just my left hand.

Ordering up my first personally owned pistol in 2 weeks - a 9mm Springfield Armory XD 4" 'Service Model'
I'm going to take my CCW class with that pistol, to really start to learn about 'em!

i see your in gainesville, did you go to one of the gun stores in town, or to picketts in newberry? ever been to fort white gun club?
I've been busy. I've offloaded my Glock 26, 34 and 36. I have since picked up a Glock 23 and 27 (.40 cal for both). I took my 21, 23, 27 and my SBR'd AR15 to the range this past weekend. I had fun
Mossberg 500 served me well as a kid in the 80's with 2 duck hunting trips every year to the Dakota's, deer hunting at home in Wisconsin and grouse in the UP after I got to college. It was stolen when I left the UP in 96 and I've wanted another one ever since. :3d_frown:
IMO, you'd be hard pressed to get more for your money than that shotgun.

this is my fun gun. expensive to shoot, but fun.
this is my .40 s&w model 4013. very very accurate. i love this gun.
and this is the ammo i use. the head is designed to explode on impact. if the bullet hits a wall, it will not go through to kill anyone outside. if the bullet hits you though, good luck getting all of the pieces out.

How'd you get a Tommy gun and be allowed to shoot it? I thought there are severe restrictions on them.
Restrictions would be heavy on the full auto version - Class III. The semi auto versions, which are available to the public wouldn't be any different than buying/owning/shooting any other "assault weapon".
Even for a CIII weapon, it's not hard to get your hands on one - provided it's a legal gun and you have the thousands, yes THOUSANDS of dollars to buy one. You can pnly buy/transfer one through a specific CIII dealer, not just Joe's gun shop on the corner
You need:
ATF Form 4 (2 copies)
2 passport style pictures
Police Chief sign off on Form 4s saying you are eligible to own such a weapon in that area and you have no pending criminal charges and there are no convictions on your record.
2 FBI fingerprint cards
1 $200 Check made payable to the ATF for the tax stamp.
Provided you get all that, can pass the background check, can pay the money and wait the 45-60 days, you too can have a fully auto firearm.
It's the same process for a Short Barrelled Rifle (SBR) or Short Barrelled Shotgun (SBS)

I like the P90.
Do not like the price, but hey, you get what you pay for....
Long barrel version requires no fed tax stamp... but it's just a semi-auto bull-pup machine rifle.
Of course, it holds 50 rounds per magazine, is totally ambi-dexterious and the design makes the most of the barrel for the size of the weapon.
