Pretty sure I just added this one to my wishlist after watching Rogan shoot one on Youtube just now. It's 8 grand so I doubt very many people even own one. Pretty amazing handgun though from the looks of it.
Yep, I finished off my bottle of black Rit trying to dye this gun before I turned to the paint. Good lesson learned there - Rit Does Not stick to rubber... not even a little bit. Had the grips sitting in piping hot Rit dye for about 2 hours, periodically stirring and all, pulled them out w/...
Yep I thought about the "who's gonna see it anyway" part and that's when I realized I'm doing it just for me. I just can't do a pink gun. And even the engraving and all on it is feminine looking (script) so it just adds to it.
Now queue up the tough guys - "A real man wouldn't care what color...
Yeah I don't think there's a such thing as one w/ a safety lol. I didn't mean to imply some have them. I just didn't realize that would be a sticking point for her. She somehow believes it could just "go off" in her purse and blast some poor fool's knee cap off or something.
But to answer...
I'm sure spray painting isn't the best option but I'm on a bit of a budget at the moment and already have some Krylon flat black lying around. Ntm, I may never even carry this one. Just kind of a backup of a backup. I had bought this little .38 snub nose for the girl I'm seeing b/c she works...
Thank you. Exactly what I needed. I'll check when I get home from work to verify. I was just trying to cut a corner here because I live in a small town with only a Walmart and evidently Walmart doesn't sell actual handgun ammo anymore. So I figured I'd try some old 38 Special ammo. I'll just...
Good idea. Should've done that to begin with but didn't even think about it. I'm not at the house right now with it but I'm pretty sure the barrel stamp says 38 S&W
Not that it's any of your gd business but obviously I wouldn't buy a gun for a person that can't have guns and then advertise it online. The one from the post you're quoting lasted about a week and a half. But thanks for the completely relevant comment.
I figure pretty much everybody here knows more than I do about handguns. I've only owned a cheap Hi Point 9 and a Glock 9.
But something about a 1911 is attractive to me. I've literally never even held one.
What would you say are the good and bad points or if it's even advisable to buy one...
Admittedly, this post made me feel kinda stupid. I truly didn't realize this. Definitely never would have a huge sticker but I do have a tiny 2A sticker in the bottom corner. I always assumed it would be a potential meth-head deterrent or make someone think twice. Now I'm about to remove it.
My issue is I follow world events very closely, nearly obsessively, and I'd bet everything I have that we have some grim days coming to the US. The less Uncle Sam knows about us and our possessions, the better. It definitely is not 1776 any more.
I totally get it. If I were the seller I'd wanna cover my a$$ too.
CCP is the other request I saw in a few ads. That'll eliminate me from those bc I don't intend to get one. Maybe we'll get constitutional carry here one day like the other sensible states.
Never claimed to have an arsenal or to be an expert. I've never done a private sale before. I have a couple 9 mm's bought at gun stores, I have a shotgun bought from a gun store and an SKS bought at a gun show from an FFL. All this was done when I used to live in Arkansas though so just...
