I love anything based on the 1911... But i still like some of the original ones. Very nasty gun..... We reload our .44 magnum's.... Put a little extra power into them....

wow, i didnt know they are that strict up in the states. i shoot on a military shooting range here in hawaii, and they are ok with reloads. too bad.

No no, You know the casings, the brass peices ejected out of the chamber when you fire a round, you can put slugs and gunpowder back into them and re use them, its an expensive investment, but its worth it if you shoot a lot.

Now I know, my fault, A noob at guns. What gun would you reccomend for a person who hadn't own one and it would be there first one?

i shot slugs out of a shotgun for the first time last month at a shooting range. it was awesome.

Buck shot or bird shot? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

I want to research more into guns. Any links? Articles? Sites? That I can read up on for purchasing a first time pistol.

if u like powerful hand guns, and got some cash, i'd look into a desert eagle 50 cal . makes a loud boom and kicks ***. also screws your wrist if not properly held.

aren't both of those pellet shots? i was told they're called slugs.. basically one giant heap of metal gets launched from a shotgun, instead of pellets. a damn LOT of kick.

Well for me, most of my relatives have large gun collections and I get to shoot what they bring out, so I can test out what I like best, but if you want a cheap reputable gun I'd say start with a Glock, I have several models and they are very good for the price.

reloading = pricey.... if you dont shoot much or just for fun or hunting it really isnt worth it.... the equipment is a fortune.... the only brass i save is 38, 357 and 7mm.. also has anyone seen what can happen when reloading goes wrong?

That would be buck shot then, bird shot is pellet.

I don't want cheap guns, I want something Middle-Highend. Since you dont want to make a mistake of buying something cheap then regreting it later.

Yeah, not good, not good at all. You must be precise, weight, length, my cousin will not shoot reloaded bullets at competition that are even 10'ths of a CM off.

yeah, i watched a video. not pretty at all. as for equipment, a lee's reloading kit aint expensive. i got mines for like 55 dollars but that was 4 yrs ago and because im in the military, i got a discount
