Thanks all! I started another thread with my new purchase: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=589142 In short, I went with a 1911 .45 ACP after renting it at the range. I probably wouldn't have even considered looking at it without some input from this thread :)

Thanks! It was a monthly special they were running. It was just a hare more than I wanted to spend, but it was new and my wife said go for it.

Thanks to my other thread asking about calibers and recoil, I finally *bought* my first gun (the rest were hand-me-downs). At the range this morning I shot a box of .38 specials through a .357, and it really didn't feel too bad. The targets were hit without too much difficulty. I really...

Thanks! I will still primarily shoot the .22 (cost). I would like to start growing my gun collection a little and add some variety. Recoil has always had me a little uneasy when shooting CF and I would like to get past that. Unfortunately the single action on my .22 is broken so I have to...

Thanks for all the input guys! I am strictly a target shooter, but am increasingly becoming interested in eventually getting to the competition shooting. In the meantime I would like to get something with more kick to shoot along with my .22 so that I can get used to handling the recoil. I...

Thanks guys! :cool: Yeah, I meant how not hot in the title. I have a buddy with a .357 that he let me shoot some light load .38 rounds through last weekend. I'll have to see if I can get some time in using full power ammo to what it's like. The light load stuff he created made it feel like...

I am still pretty new to handguns. For years I exclusively shot my .22 rifle, but last weekend I started shooting my Arminius HW7 (.22LR double action revolver). Having only put ~350 rounds though the pistol since then I found out that I really enjoy firing handguns too. I would like to add a...

I con't see much a cheeckpiece on the few 700s I found on their site... My Herter's XK3 has one that makes it very uncomfortable to shoot.

Nice! :cool: I can't wait until my boys are old enough to learn to shoot :)

Ok... Had a fun time with this one :) I went out and to try 3 differen't ammo "brands" but at 25 yds it doen't appear that they make much difference outside of the group moving around a bit. This was using the Savage Model 19 NRA with a rear peep and front hooded post. The first two columns...

Woot I get to do this one again! :cool: I'll be at the range in the morning... Hope to do good :)

Thanks guys :) I would like to use a scope but I don't want to do that with this rifle and I can't afford another just yet.

I finally finished my box of Winchester Xpert Hollow Point rounds (500 for $5 at wally-world) and can get 4/5 shots on a 1" round shoot-n-see at 50 yds (after 3 it gets hard to see without scope :( ). My friend keeps telling me to get some better ammo but there quite a few to choose from. I am...

Well I went out to the range Sunday to see if I could do any better. Ended up not being able to shoot the target because the only lefty station is at 50 yds and they would let me move it to the 25 yds row :( Sent ya my info Mo. Hopefully as my skills increase I'll get some scores like John...

Thanks I'll give it a go if I can get out!:cool:
