my new pistol

[mentalbreakdown00]

I live in a small town and it was the news mans son I messed up, the cops said I was too excessive, cause he had no solid bone left in his face..... It seems now guns are like cars. This will be my second semi auto, i've only shot my DE 9 times and a revolver a few times. I have a 22 bolt action rifle, a british .303 from ww2 and my 12 ga pump all i've ever shot. So we'll see how it goes. And as far as the .50 I cannot conceal it so I can't carry it. Also it was used in my home for self defense so couldn't bust me there.

They don't show up in the gun mags much,and they are not all that plentiful,they sell fast.

I would too, but I think somewhere between a broken nose and a shattered face would be a good place to quit.

I wouldn't have hit him in the face more than once...

But I would've broken both of his arms.

I've never broken mre than one arm at a time, I bet two would hurt
even more to have two broken...

No, NO, NO! Not MY arms someone else's arms

welp, I kinda didn't think about that at the second. All I knew was he was attempting murder and I made sure he couldn't. That's why 3 state attorney's quit in my case 'cause they didn't want to prosecute me. Also the judge told me he did what he did so I could have my concealed one day, and that he knows I learned to control myself after that, and he's right. sometimes I will sit down at night and cry over what I did to the guy for a minute, then realize, nothing I can do about him now. I did lose my temper, and god made sure I knew what the dirrefence was. When that man kicked down my door he got hit with a .50 hollow, and that haunts me too, but it was him or me this time and now I know the difference. I was 15 when the kids tried to hit that girl, she was 17, he was the daddy, and didn't want his daddy to find out, he was 17 also. Just realize this guys i'm 26 now, and god has let me go through this stuff for a reason, what it may be I have no idea yet, but he's done it to prepare me for something else, maybe a peaceful life. The circumstances going on around me though are making it harder and harder for me not to carry. People stalking in the shadows when I go to close my shop down, strong arm robberies in my nieghboor hood, which is mostly a middle class work ethic, and gun/ knife point robberies. So I hope I have made a decent decision on this weapon. All I have ever shot before my .50 was a 303 british from ww2 and my 22 browning bolt action, my 12 ga, and my 410, so a pistol is a different step for me to be able to carry unlike any of my others. Here's a prayer to all who've read this that you will never have to do something in self defense, may peace lead in front of you and keep your families and friends safe, let the only bullet be fired upon an enemy far from your door step, and in the pursuit of upkeeping our constitution, amen.

I went full size this time.

I'll see your armscorp and raise you a Thompson.

I don't have my CC permit yet. Yet being key word here. It's real easy to get one, just haven't gotten around to it yet and I don't have a pistol.

My arsenal is basically just a .22 (with a 30r clip and 9x scope...) and a Mossberg Maverick 88 with the short barrel. I am somewhat in the market for a pistol and will probably go with a 9mm. My buddy has a Springfield that he really likes so I may go that route. Do like those 1911s a lot though

That's nice!How long you had it?Is that stock or modded?

Still a nice piece!

i worked with a guy that ran his own gun shop so we used to talk guns alot and he told me that most of the taurus guns he sold would have to be sent out under warranty for repairs more then once, and just so you know i'm not bashing taurus.just something i heard.

I checked it out on 1911.org,and Taurus has a decent customer service for wheelguns but the 1911 service seems nonexsistant,which is not good.

Armscor/RIA has the best customer service around right now and a company rep has his email posted in a sticky at the top of the RIA forum.Each brand has a forum over there.If you have a problem you pay shipping to Nevada,Arnell the gunsmith goes through the gun completly(tuneup) and ships it back,and they have a phone number for him.If he determines the gun is unserviceable,he orders you a new one.

Even the site administrator has stated their customer service (taurus) concerning 1911s is bad.

I use a SIG Sauer 45 to do Protective Services in the military and that is the tightest shooting big barrel shorty I have shot in 12 years in the military! I plan on getting one when I get back to the states. I have a .40 cal Hi-Point S&W right now for carry and it is huge, but the bigger the gun the scarrier it is. More for home defense thought.

Hence the .50 I have... hehehe

I know someone else had mentioned the Tauras Judge for inside home use, I'm really looking at it also. I like the availabilty of all the different rounds and loads you can use, .410 bird shot, to buck shot to slugs to the 45 cal. I know it's not much of a long range weapon but that when the other long guns come in. Had bear in the back yard, but small. For those of you that like Ruger, he is a car fan. He and his late dad have quite a collection. This Yellow one is one of only two ever made. Sure looks like a classic. All the Rugers are very good people on a personel level.

The "secret" is under the hood. 427 dual quad, sure got to be a car guy!
