That is called reliability. You want reliability in a gun that you trust your life with.

 

well looks like i got someone else to buy a nagant so might be going to the range or just open land on friday. ill take more pictures and videos.

 

Anyone using a Keltec PF-9? Im wondering how weatherproof it really is? Say if i was to fall while walking thru a swamp out to the hunting stand? I carry it as a side arm and am worried about it getting messed up.

 

Yeah, buck you're right, after going back and reading that I see I should have worded it differently. I go through that many rounds in an afternoon with pistols and rifles, but not with shotguns. I think the most round's I've ever gone through in an evening with a shotgun is about 250 rounds(a case).

Thank you for pointing that out Windsor, most everyone I know has the Express which is what I assumed these guys were talking about. The Wingmaster is a much better shotgun. Better trigger, polished internals, etc. Not to mention it looks WAY better. I'll admit I was being a bit narrow and did not ask them to specify which model they had before talking negatively.

I have not been comparing the 870 to the Super Nova; I did mention the Standard Nova, which is much closer in comparison to price and is, IMO, a much more well rounded gun.

Call it what you want, but I want something that puts a single hole in a target while being reliable, which is very possible if the manufacturer takes the time and effort to do so. It's called quality, which is too often overlooked by consumers and manufacturers to save a few bucks. There is a reason people spend what they do on a Kimber or something of equal or greater quality.

 

Something perhaps a little more refined geared towards upland hunting........LOL

 

Here are a couple of mine.

Ruger LCP my EDC gun


Tikka T-3 in 30-06


DPMS AR15


And last but not but not least "Old Reliable" my Marlin 336

 

I just bought one a couple weeks ago, shot it twice now but bought it to carry and keep in my truck.

 

Here are some of mine. Most are carried/ shot on a regular basis. Currently building aN AR-15, with intentions to start competing in some three gun matches. Already have a Benelli Nova Tactical, so only need an AR or similar.


By the way all of guns are kept secured in a fire safe, other than whatever is in teh nightstand, or on me.

 

what kinda shells are you shooting, i know the winchester skeet loads jam like hell in mine...nothing else ive shot has

 

I've had quite the opposite effect with Mossberg Ranger vs. 870. Mag tube plunger hangs up constantly on the Mossberg making it so you cannot load shells.

All my buddies and my Dad depended on an 870 Wingmasterd or Model 12's to always beat my *** with my fancy shotguns I collect. An 870 to them is a Whappon of Death

 

Just some of the guns that I might own, if I actually owned any weapons


Springfield XD45


Kahr PM9


CMMG AR15 5.56


The youngest and I with the AR....

Woof
Bowser

 

i love how kids stand with guns how they bend there knees out lol.

well another friend of mine bought a nagant so we went to the range again.

well took someone else out shooting. him shooting his 1943 izhevsk M91/30

My other buddy shooting his 1942 tula.

1943

1942

Steel core heavy ball all 3 of our guns did not want to cycle these all 3 of us hand to use our hands and smack the bolt guess these are loaded a lil hotter.

42 with heavy ball ammo.

another picture of the 42.


43's first time out not to bad for his first shootin.

42's 2nd time out.

here is my 4 from the frist one to the last one. the first 3 we fired 20 rounds the last one we fired 25.




240 rounds.

3 diff. rounds we had out there.

also hand my remington 870 smooth bore 20" 12 gauge with 2 3/4" slugs at 25 yards. we each shot 5. all 5 of mine i know one of my friends 5 hit the wood support for the target because it blew huge chunks of wood off of it.

 

Lol oh wow this is funny. This is AMERICA! If you want to spend your hard earned money to teach your pistols to whisper then do it. It shouldn't matter that people like ME think it's an incredible waste of money. Cool but a tremendous waste of money. I'm just glad others are out there are willing to spend big bucks on such cool items; even though they are totally pointless.
I salute you for pursuing your passion for those things you love; don't be so sensitive to others opinions. It's your money and its what you love so who cares if someone like buck or myself make a playful comment of how pointless something is.
Awesome collection
As pointless as some my thing silencers are; they are still really cool. Thanks for sharing your pics.

Getting some marksmanship training from some of the best in the world

Here is me, my brother and my dad at Camp Perry:



Bet you didnt know we kept German prisoners of war in Ohio during WWII:





Member of the Airforce Markmanship Team teaching me the basic techniques and shooting positions: standing, prone and sitting:







Getting ready to shoot:



Those targets are 200 yards away. You need to hit it that faint black dot you can barely see in the center of the targets that are above those numbers to get a 9 or 10 score:



Yep, these are real M16's with burst fire selector (three round burst). We did not use this mode of fire because i is extremely inaccurate and everything we did was for accuraccy.



Here is what it looks like "in the pits" under the targets. Half the time you shoot, the other half you are in these pits and the shooters shoot into the target right over your head. You hav to look for the bullet hole hit and pull down the target, mark it and put it back up for each and every shot. I had about 250 bullets shoot about 5 feet above my head.



Some youtube videos I took of dad shooting so you can understand the course of fire:

Here is a nice video in the pits looking at bullet hole "magically" appear on the target a few feet above you:
