Man you got some freakin' great info. You just beg me to spend money!! And come to find out, my local NFA dealer is someone I used to work with years ago.
Lol...This is one hobby that's defiantly NOT cheap! I've always wanted a suppressor but we couldn't have them back in MA. Once I shot my friends CZ Scorpion a couple years back I went right out and bought both. It's nice being able to shoot without hearing protection but another nice thing is it really helps those who are anticipating the bang from pulling the trigger. It's helped my girlfriend a lot now she has a better trigger pull and is more relaxed from not anticipating the bang from the 9mm and the 223,more so the 223.
Yeah We come here to spend money on Rangers and I end up buying four more guns LOL... That's a good sign though it means I'm at the end of my rope with the ranger accessories.
I just sold my M&P 22 compact to a friend. No threaded barrel, though. I'm just not a fan of anything in 22. I did like the cost of ammo.

I think if I had a place to shoot outdoors for hours free like you do in the desert, then maybe I would have kept the M&P 22 but for range use, I don't find a 22 fun. Too easy and I'd rather use bigger calibers for range use time.
Great pistol. Never had a hic cup and was accurate.
Dave here is the site where I ordered my Kimber from. They give prices to a lot of places. really handy.
Thanks Tom. I've been using that site for a few years now,I think I posted it somewhere back in these 41 pages. lol It's nice because you can also look up accessories there too just use the UPC number or part number. I've found a lot of my mags on there much cheaper than Gun Mag Warehouse which seems to be getting much more expensive even before this gun buying spree started. I have on occasion found things elsewhere cheaper but 9/10 times gun.deals is the best place.
Yeah that's a great habit. I don't see anything wrong with lasers but I think you should have learn how to shoot using the sights first then use a laser in a situation where you may not have 5 seconds to take careful aim and squeeze the trigger. That's where I can see a laser working also somebody that gets a green or red Beam on their chest will think twice too Or they'll or they just shoot first!!
Sweet! That came in fast,it looks almost like my Springfield EMP 1911 9mm. I'm still undecided on what I'm getting next. I've been flipping back and forth all weekend between the S&W M&P 22 compact,the Kimber KHX Pro with the CT laser grips and then I forgot about the Rock Island 1911 9mm I had saved a while back.Look what came in today. I broke it down to give a little Ballistol treatment. Is was a pretty good price. Especially with the CT laser grip. I want to get good at 7 to 10 yards where I would not need a laser. If I get good enough without a laser I'll be very happy. 10 yards is 30 ft that's longer than a garage. What do you think is the minimum yardage one should pay attention to. I'm thinking 3 -7 yards. I don't see me getting into gun fights at 20 yards. If I get into that kind of a fight I'm going to need to trade my 22 for the Smith & Wesson AR-15 .223
I could actually get the RI and the S&W and still have money left over for what the Kimber cost. I've never owned a gun with a laser but have shot my friends Glock who has one one his rail. You really notice how much your hand shakes with one.
What a great post...I will set the farthest target at 20 feet and the closest qt 10 feet I agree if I am 20 feet from the danger I should not be attempting to fire. especially without any help from a laser. That's what I will work on 7-15 yds without using the laser. My next buy will be the SW MP15 Sport II .223 I will likely consign the MP15/22 sport.........or not >>>LOL IM ready for my second rifle. Three hand guns and two rifles is my limit after that is one in one out.Sweet! That came in fast,it looks almost like my Springfield EMP 1911 9mm. I'm still undecided on what I'm getting next.

I mostly shoot at 7 yards then I move out to 10 for my final rounds. If you end up shooting someone past that you could end up screwed because a lawyer will argue that you were far enough away for your life NOT to be endangered. Now I don't necessarily agree with that because every situation is different but I wouldn't want to be put through the ringer because of it. Now I do set up a couple steel targets at 25 yards and will mostly shoot that distance for fun and accuracy.
We always have an AR and a bunch of other rifles with us so there's always steel targets from 100 yards and out to 500. I was trying to hit the 100 yard one with my Kimber the last time we were out but it was windy and between that and the bullet drop it wasn't happening. lol
. He is against it for various reasons.
