and what now ???
-
I'd rather upgrade comp for that money, you can have all the weapons you want there :)
Or buy new rims and tires for car.
Or buy bananas for blaa's monkey.

my monkey eats meat

Is that a toy gun? :D

See what you lost? Would have spared 1000$ and you wouldn't risk hurting anyone you love. ;)
Merry Christmas :)

this is more damage and even 600$ cheaper
-
Mine doesn't run on co2, just gun powder. Hydra-shock hollowpoints don't hurt anyone but the bg's. Couldn't buy rims for the wife's car since I wrecked it the day after xmas. I got glass rash all over from that one. Already upgraded my computer so no need for that. The main reason I purchased this one is for concealed carry and family protection.

Nice, Go kill someone! I just got 2 tips for you which im sure you already know
1. Guns aren't toys Mister, so be careful
2. If you see a scary man shoot em in the feed (haha http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=19012.0 )

couldnt get it in blue?
-
Good buy on a 1911PD, they retail for like $1500. But personally i think a .45 is a bit big for a concealed.. Much rather have my G17. :] Nice gun though.
-
Is it just me or does the barrel look a bit shorter than a typical 1911?
-
I think the SW1911PD's are little bit shorter. I have only seen one in person once.
-
Also, what are people's opinions on pocket 380s. I'm thinking of getting one eventually for CC.
-
lol
If you did illegaly buy a ak47 it would just cost you 600$
now you got a ( good?) handgun. even if i would buy a handgun, i would buy a beretta

I like the Pocket 380's.. They are great for a CC because they are only about 5 inches long if that. And about 1/2 a pound.

The Smith & Wesson SC1911PD is a typical 1911 in .45 acp but with a 4.25 inch barrel and only weighs in at a whopping 28 oz as compared to a standard 1911 which runs about 39 oz with a 5 inch barrel. There are numerous reason people who actually do carry concealed on a regular basis choose a 1911 over firearms such as Glocks. I already have a Springfield XD in .45 acp but it is like Glocks. Great tatical pistol for work but way to dangerous if you actually carry it chambered. A 1911 pistol is meant to be carried in condition 1, which is having a round in the chamber with the hammer back. It is completely safe to carry it this way based on the simplicity of the design. A 1911 is also a single stack which makes it quite thin with smooth lines.
Also, what are people's opinions on pocket 380s. I'm thinking of getting one eventually for CC.
Any working firearm is a good firearm IMO. What you really need to do is read up on .380 and other caliber ballistics, go to a large firearms store to hold quite a few different types, and pick what feels best for you to wear during your day to day dealings. If you have a indoor pistol range that rents guns I would do that so you can also see how well you fit the firearms. I chose a 1911 because of their reliability, the size of my hands, the weight, the angle of the grip and the fact that there are so many aftermarket producers of parts so I can adjust the gun to me fairly perfectly.

Yes, I own an ak-47. Yes, it is legal. You can purchase an ak-47 for as little as $350 depending on what you want. They, like most famous guns, have stood the test of time which caused many people to copy the original design. A pre-ban Russian ak will cost you quite a bit, well over the $1500 range compared to the newly built Romainian version at about $350.
The Berretta handguns come in a few versions. I have carried the cheapest of their line when on active duty in the army and it was the worst pistol I have ever used to protect myself. The biggest issue was its reliability. A friend had purchased a high end Berretta and we put it through its paces. It performed flawlessly except a FTE once it got pretty dirty but this would happen to almost any pistol.

Who pissed Flip off?
-
Flip was bullied in high school.
His co-workers probably still make fun of him.
His wife is his relative.
Children are ugly.
That is why he needs guns

blaa, I think you just climbed up pretty high on his target priority list.

UNLESS HE'S OBAMA HE CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!

Sorry to bust your bubble but I grew up in a different lifestyle than you is all. I was raised in the cold war era by Texas born and raised parents. Unlike many people who never have been around guns, I was taught to respect them and their purpose. Not one of my friends have ever brought a firearm to school nor did we ever run around town trying to act tough. My father raised me with his belief system. He taught me that most idiots of society always fall into one of three categories... 1) a bully (these are the over compensating people who feel the need to pick on people smaller or different in them in which they always fight when they have the uperhand. They never pick or win a fight against someone up to the brawl.) 2) Liars (always feel the need to impress people about who they are, what they did, and what they have even when they have to make things up. They are the first to implicate an innocent person to gain the trust of the "in crowd") 3) Thieves. (The worst of them all. Too lazy to work for anything. Cost everyone else money. Tips the scale of burden to everyone else.)
If you never have experienced any of these I tip my hat to you. You will run into them one day even if you think you are the toughest sob out there.
My co-workers respect me because I have a high work ethic, am experienced, and I am good at what I do.
My family is my family. If you feel the need to insult them go right ahead. Do it right there behind a pc. Without knowing anything about you I would offer you to come to Colorado (I will reimburse you for any expense occurred along the way), purchase you a motel room for the week, all of this if you would step into a fighting ring (with protective gear on of course) and square off against my 12 yr. old daughter while I record it. (This is the part where you beat your chest and claim to be awesome blackbelt and all the while never accept a free vacation.)
On a serious note, the thread was posted in hopes there would be other enthusiast possibly here or just people who had questions about firearms. Sorry to bring out the worst in some of you.

I'd take the free vacation, but, you know, without the hostility from forum-drama... and without the beating up your daughter part.
Implying that I have a chance of winning >.>
;D
-
Wait Colorado right? I have a friend there. I'll take the free trip, but I take the payment for the trip before I travel. Deal.
-
He offered the trip to me, exclusively.
Your father taught you the respect for guns? What is there to respect? I respect a tall-ass crane because its meddling big and can kill me if operated by an idiot. So do guns.
btw, uve seen the steven seagal: lawman?

If a god darn burglar comes into your house during the night, then how are you supposed to protect your family? You wake up, sleepy as intercourse, take your pistola from the drawer and go down stairs. You see a black man moving in your room, you say he freeze, he still moves, you hear your daughter crying, you shoot the black man. Turns out he was your neighbours kid stealing some excrement to buy some jewelry for his girlfriend, because his father disapproved that girlfriend because she was black, and you texax people are rascist as intercourse.
Or, you chill around with your family in the city, then suddenly someone steals ur wifes purse, you shoot the kid whos running with the purse? Assuming you carry ur weapon...
The point is, that it does not make any meddling sense to me, why you should own a gun.

if u own 1 why u still buy weapons??? Go kill some animals in the jungle :)

Because as he indicated, he wanted to carry it for protection. And you can definitely hide an AK inside your jacket.

In texas the closest neighbour is always at least 200KM away so there's no problems like that bro

Hey, there's a bunch of worse stupid stuff that someone could have spent the money on. To each his own. Me and a friend spend hundreds on fishing stuff, and I'm sure a bunch of people would think it's stupid. When we went down to the FL keys last year for lobstering, we spent $275 just to fill the boat with gas ( It was funny I think we ran the gas station out of gas). Not to count all our other excursions, filling up scuba tanks, new lures/reels/baits, etc.

No No, I am not saying that his hobby sucks. I guess going to the shooting range and shooting for fun is a nice hobby. Just like fishing or playing bowling. I am just confused of this whole 'protect my family' bullexcrement. Steven 'Flip' Seagal.

A lot of people have a certain view of every subject. I find it humorous that you do not understand what weapon respect really is. Carrying a firearm is a responsibility. Why would I shoot someone over a purse snatching? My wife's, kids and my life would not be in jeopardy.
You wake up, sleepy as intercourse, take your pistola from the drawer and go down stairs.

This is a good one. There is a stranger in MY house in the middle of the night and I am supposed to stop and ask him what he is doing in my house? "I'm sorry sir, are you merely stealing some jewelry or are you here to kill me to satisfy you sadistic urges or are you here to rape/murder any of my kids?" Awesome. I'll take my chances. The law is on my side because of past cases of people entering others homes to do them harm. YOU might be able to use YOUR ninja like reflexes to avoid the flurry of gunfire likely to come your way if that guy enters your house and you allow him the chance to possibly pull his firearm out and shoot at you because he doesn't want to go to jail (because we all know that a person committing a crime would never have a gun on him). Me, I'm a little to tired to be dodging bullets.
Did you know that everyone who carries a gun is not someone who is a criminal? Did you know that the laws exist to protect your rights? I'm not talking about our rights to bear arms, I'm talking about my right as a human being to protect myself and the people around me from the people who will do harm to you and yours. Did you also know that there really are people out there that like to hurt and kill other people? Are you that naive to believe that a police officer will always be there when you need him the most? There are many stories that can be brought into play but if you actually care read this and google the interview of the father from the first murder attempt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_Murders
This shows you that even though you go about your business without sticking your nose out there that fate might just throw you a curve ball. Your preparedness and reaction is what will get you through the situation. Would I shoot you if I caught you stealing the stereo out my car? Not if I have an available means to retreat and call 911. If you are in the commission of a crime and you advance on me in a threatening manner would I shoot? Couldn't tell you to be honest. It all depends on the actual situation. A firearm is a tool to protect myself and my family. Nothing more. If I feel as if my life or a family members life is in danger I would not hesitate. I guess this would be a judgment call. I'll remember to walk on by when you or someone you care about is being physically harmed while you decide to call the cops who quite possibly are only minutes away from helping you while ya'll only have seconds to decide to fight for your life or let the bad guy do what he wants. How do you know that a criminal is only going to steal, beat you a little bit, steal your tv, or whatever and not actually harm you violently?
I purchase guns for numerous reasons. I purchased an AK-47 because growing up because I was fascinated by them thanks to all the cold war stuff about Communists and their AK-47's. It was a purchase because I had the money and always wanted one. I have fired it but mainly it sits in a glass case to be admired by myself.
My XD was a tactical pistol that was purchased as a professional sidearm to protect myself and others in the commission of my job that was appoitted to me by the federal government. This would have sufficed for a protection gun if only it was alot slimmer.
My psl or Romak-3 was a purchase to go with my AK-47. It looks beautiful and displays well. I also use it for my days off as a target rifle to mess around with.
My new 1911 was purchased for my daily carry as it is lighter and smaller than my XD.
I'm hardly what you would call a racist texan. Guess I'll have to divorce my Mexican Jew wife so I can fit your label. :P
I'd take the free vacation, but, you know, without the hostility from forum-drama... and without the beating up your daughter part.

That would be a very interesting visit. You are welcome to visit if you wish but I seriously would insist that you get a hair cut first.

WOW LOL!!!!!!!!!!! if a cop at holland sees a ak47 or a little handgun, in your jacket or backpack ( except if ur a cop ) your in the cell for like 1 year

To protect your family.. from what! Where do you live?! :O
The law is very different in the UK btw, if someone breaks into your house and you hurt him (hit him over the head with a frying pan and cause actual bodily harm), he is able to sue you, and win. I'm not making this up either, lots of real examples of this here.
-
You can have one blow in self defence here in the UK, I believe.
But as Lekky pointed out, the most you can do is push them out your house before you become the criminal...

He already mentioned he lives in Colorado.
The NRA is a pro-gun advocacy group, and therefore we would expect them to favor gun rights. While recognizing their bias you may want to check out their column "Armed Citizen" in their publication "America's First Freedom". It contains news highlights of stories where citizens used firearms to defend themselves. You can find the current month and five months of archives at the link below.
http://www.nrapublications.org/AC/index.asp
The stories are taken from other news outlets and sources are cited, so you can follow up if you like.
I am sure there are many stories as well on other websites of those who did not properly store firearms, or properly use firearms resulting in injury or death. I post these simply as anecdotal evidence of people using fire arms to defend themselves.
I personally do not own weapons because I have young children. In order to keep the children safe I would have to lock up the guns, which would reduce their effectiveness in home defense. I will consider purchasing one when the kids are older and I can teach them proper safety procedures as my father taught me. My step father collects guns and when they are older I am sure they would love to go with him to the range.
My brother also collects guns, swords, knives, and polearms and cycles through his "home defense weapon of choice" each month. I would classify him as in the over-eager category when it comes to weapons.
He came home one time to find someone in his apartment. The unknown man was rummaging through my brother's closet. A .357 was my brothers weapon of the month. He crept up as stealthily as a 6'10 350 pound man can and held it to the intruder's head.
The man promptly wet himself and then explained he was with apartment maintenance and was checking for radon. Since that incident they have faithfully alerted my brother in advance when checking for radon.

So I spent $1100 on this..
You probably have it well under control, but don't forget your insurance floater for firearms.
Your standard homeowners policy limits you to $2,500, and with this gun and your others you may be pushing that soon.

why are all the halfway interesting posts in the "other" section? delete this section so that the "main" category, Paintball II Discussion, can get some play/
alright flipper, ive got one: i can understand, to some degree, having a powerful weapon inside your home for those "just in case moments" (m7's story shows the more humorous side of this). the other aspect you mentioned was as a concealed. can you explain the rational behind this? whats types of situations you imagine that the gun would cure?
(consider this plain curiosity. not insulting, or meant to antagonize. the only reason i dont hesitate to ask is youve seemed to handle expressing your side pretty well, considering youre a one man army)
i personally have carried a knife everywhere for the past ten years. anyone who doesnt know me see's it as a weapon. the rest know its my multipurpose tool. currently its a spring loaded kershaw (1560steel) that clips into my pocket, so the cops think im trying to hide it. ive never had to use it as a weapon, but there is some degree of safety knowing that (worst case scenarios) it could be. on the plus side, it'd take a fair amount of intent to actually kill someone with it. bar rats who think they're gonna kick the excrement out of some dork have consistently backed down when they realize what the clip hanging off my pocket is connected to. best of all are the memorable moments it's unintentionally left me. like when some stripper came up to my friend giving his drunkass all too much attention. she leads him back somewhere and later comes out screaming about money. now, his stupid donkey shouldve realized that he was getting into some excrement, but more so she needed to tell him if the clocks running or not. regardless, it escalates to where some beefy intercourser who thinks he's got authority, decided to flash his gun at me (since i was doing all the talking for my inebriated chap). maybe i was drunk, but i busted out laughing at this intercourser. like he's gonna shoot me down in some public strip club for $100. so i patted my pocket and he recognized this tiny little clip hanging out. not that my 4.5in blade was going to frighten this beast, but he did shake of his punk bully attitude and soon we walked away without paying that skank.
now, that wasnt just pure chest beating (although mostly), it was to show that in a lot of situations the weapon doesnt choose the victor. its the intent of the person behind it. that if youre not sure about just how far you will go with your stinger, it wont save you from the moment. unfortunately, theres way too many people who cant see a graduated scale, and think that if there weapons coming out to play, it'll play to its fullest. thats some mindless excrement that i cant accept. so with guns it's way too easy to eliminate a life, but the stakes can be high.
heres the tool i had decided on when i was going to denali for 8 months. my rational was always "just in case crazy grizzly bears want to eat me". somewhere inside i was always thinking about a quick dinner. the only time ive considered buying a gun. i was always curious to see what it would do to a bunny rabbit.

In all honesty, people who actually carry concealed are some of the most polite people you will ever meet. The wonder here is why do people always ask "what situation do you need that for?" If I knew that my family would never be in harm's way I wouldn't need to carry a firearm correct? Some people have never been in any personal duress their whole life but unfortunately I have not been so lucky. Besides making a name for myself in the regional gangs (they do not see me in too large a light) there are plenty of other reasons I carry. 1) protection of my family. This simply put if a group of nice individuals decide to take my money while I'm out one night with my wife walking through one of the parks we frequent. Now the money isn't an issue. A place a higher value on any human life that is higher than any amount of money I carry but what I do not know is when this group will walk away. What will they do once they have the money? Beat me senseless? I'm not a large guy but I can more than hold my own in physical combat but I am not made of steel. A lucky punch could send me snoozing. Would they stop at that? Who knows? Do you? There are numerous accounts of situations like this (I have even been at the scene of the crime a few times). What would they do to my wife once I am either asleep or dead? Do you know? I sure don't. When it comes down to it I would be a piss poor father if I let some idiot physically harm my kids. I sure the heck wouldn't be doing them any good if I just rolled over and died. The fact is everyone feels safe until that one moment when fate plays it's hand. If you do not watch the national news on a daily basis maybe you should. You will see a dozen cases a week where people just like you thought they were safe and the weird stuff would never happen to them only to wind up on the news as the latest greatest story. A young man even murdered a young woman in a school laboratory over an animal. Do you think she enjoyed being strangled to death? Have you ever watched someone bleed to death after being stabbed numerous times over a few dollars? Believe me, it is not something you want in your head. I can vividly recall the sounds of the man's pain and anguish. Seriously, I hope nothing happens to you. I hope you will always be prepared for the unexpected. I just won't risk my families innocence and safety on the cops who don't even know we're in trouble until they are called. I doubt I will be dialing 911 while my kids or wife is in trouble. There is a good saying that I have read numerous times that would work here..... "Remember, when you have seconds to decide how to act when you or a loved ones life is in danger the cops are only minutes away." Even today I watched a show were a woman was being accosted by a man in an alley. A homeless man (someone who had nothing and the type of person so many look down upon) tried to intervene to help the woman only to be beat to death himself. The woman did survive but still ended up in pretty bad shape. If she had had a firearm maybe that man wouldn't have had to die. Seriously, google this stuff. Please, arm yourself with information.
I am not a one man army and never claimed to be one. I don't look for trouble and could go the rest of my life without ever having to interact with anyone else. My family can not. Are there crazy people who prey on society? Yes. If I pull a firearm when needed what do you think a bad guy will do? Keep coming? If he does he won't be a threat to anyone for awhile at least but more times then not the bad guy will turn away and go prey on the easier target (the ones who think nothing could ever happen to them).

surprised you have internets, living in such a excrementhole. gangs and stuffff

All the people i know with their CPLs are great people. They simple carry because they can and want to be prepared in case a situation arises.

please dont misunderstand my post, and i hope im not misunderstanding yours. i was asking about your views and how you came to them, not challenging their validity. god, i feel like im in some sort of dp therapy session. anyways, your views are yours and i got no issue with them as long as they dont invade my own. i just like to understand how people develop them and come to hold them as true. call me queer, but thats interesting. as for the "one man army" comment, it was referring to this thread. you were taking a lot of hits from others and then rationally commenting back, thats admirable in my book. until m7 posted, it was literally flip vs. all.
on a side note, i have absolutely no problem protecting anyone i care about from an attacker. thats including all forms of attack. i will always instinctively fight back until they find themselves in the cowering position they had meant to put that other person in. i just dont think i need a gun to do that, but there's always extreme scenarios.
