no saiga's in there, but my dad does have a saiga .410 at his place.

that lineup in order of appearance is the DPMS AR15, the AK, the 10-22 (in original form), P22, XD40, panda's llama 9mm, and then the 10-22 in new clothes (tapco fusion stock system, just put that on it last week). picked up 200 rounds for the AR today too along with a few little goodies at the gun show, fun stuff.

crap, it might be...i think it goes through the weekend though (saturday and sunday), so perhaps we could go on the day other than the event.

Since this is already way off track...

I just picked up a Mossberg 500 12g pump the other day, im gonna extend the magazine tube, and shorten the barrel soon to make it an all out riot rifle.

Hey Cody, how do you like your XD? Im kinda in the market for a new handgun, and im considering the XD9...also considering a Sig P225.

good choice on the mossy, i wanna grab one of those up eventually.

the XD is really nice too, i'm super pleased with it. mine has been quite reliable and accurate so far, and i'm a fan of the overall feel and added grip safety it has over the glock and a few other handguns. the 40 packs a good bit of kick and is one of the loudest things i've ever shot (makes the AR and AK almost seem quiet), but that's part of the territory for having a .40 with a 3" barrel i suppose. sig's are super nice too (i'd really love to own a .357 229 or 226 one day), but i got too good of a deal on the XD to pass it up.

The only thing that is a drawback for me on the XD is the fact that is a double action gun only.

I'd really like to have a hammer, and the ability to shoot double or single action.

I just got back from a local gun shop, and they had a Walther P22 there. That little bastard is awesome lol. 8)

I may actually get that instead of a 9mm, cause honestly, im just looking for a plinking target range gun, rather than a carry. And i like the fact that i can buy 500 rds for like 25 bucks lol

What did you pay for yours? And how do you like it?

it was right around $300 if i remember, maybe a touch more but not much. it's a blast too, although i sometimes have jamming problems with it. i think most of that can be contributed to the fact that until yesterday i was using a box of probably 10 year old ammo my dad gave me, and it had a bit of corrosion on it which seemed to cause the problems. it was free though, and now that i ran through all of it, i finally spent a whopping $11 on 550 new federal rounds for it yesterday. i had like 1 jam with those, but erin shot a few clips with them and didn't have any problems. it's a fun little gun too, and if you're as cheap as i am, you definitely can't go wrong with a .22 for something fun to play around with. i probably shoot it and the 10/22 rifle more than anything at the range just for that reason (although it's hard to resist the fun of the AR, but considering 1 full clip for it costs around $10-$15 depending on what ammo i'm using, i don't let myself shoot it quite as much).

i'm definitely going to find a deal on a 22 rifle soon. just screwing around with cody's with the new stock on it i was laying down tiny groups at full distance on the range, and that was standing which is generally a bit shaky. either that or that .22 remake of the MP5 if anyone ever starts stocking them.

the walther is pretty badass, i saw a compensated version the other day on gunbroker for just over $300.

if i'm ever a true baller i'll pick up a .50cal desert eagle all chromed out like that dude at the range last night. $45 for a box of 20 rounds is baller as hell :lol: .

that thing was indeed awesome. it's totally overkill for anything, but the noise and muzzle flash that thing produces seems like it would kinda make it worthwhile :).
