Whitefang Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'm not big on guns either, but I can understand the appeal. When I was a kid, we all thought the German Luger was a cool looking gun. But I've been told they were pretty much unreliable. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to sell it but would not have wanted the next person to deal with something like that. My gunsmith retired and there's really not a good one left around here. I did find another one recently but I have another gun I want him to fix first. After The Black Hawk goes in to be fixed, I want some parts to be case-hardened. I have a super Blackhawk.44 mag that would only shoot if you pointed the barrel straight up, I had my friend who had a FFL send it to Ruger and they repaired it for free. So maybe that would work for you Butch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang WF, I used to shoot mine pretty regular..... not so often in the last 25 years or so.... never jammed on me, or missfired.... wasn't too accurate, and didn't pack the punch a .45 does, (I carried a .45 when I was in 'Nam, but never owned one).

Karloff Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) 2 1/2 years ago I left the cardiologists with a heart monitor taped to my chest. thought I'd had a heart attack. drove straight to my friends music store n bought a Custom shop 335 I had been drooling over for 5 years. it had a Custom Shop price tag. I was certain that would show up on the heart monitor ... Edited January 19, 2022 by Karloff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I just splurged at my local brick and mortar store on a couple of Italian designed mic stands with booms, I probably could have lived without them, but I won't have to duct-tape my recording mics in position anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 9 hours ago, DanvillRob said: Since this thread morphed into one about guns....I am certainly no collector, but I acquired a "Ball & Eagle" German WWII 9MM. As far as I can tell, it's a "numbers matching" piece. Someone dated it for me once...but I forget when he said it was made...but I think 1943. I was offered $1K for it back in the 80's. Cool. I have a Police Officers carry gun that is a Colt .22 that was released in 1908 and used by police till 1927. It is in perfect condition. James, Debbies uncle had it and her aunt grabbed it before I could. She was going to use it for home defense when I scolded her, telling her that, "You don't use antiques like that!" Anyway, I have it now amongst many others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't shoot it anymore because it draws a big crowd and everyone wants to sample it a few rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I for one cannot find one good reason why I need a gun in my house. I don’t have to hunt for my food, probably won’t get the upper hand on some home invader… what do I want to kill that makes me have to own a gun? I’d rather buy a new guitar and talk about guitars on a guitar forum… just saying this for all the freedom fighters out there. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own it because if someone does come in to my house intending to do me or my family harm at least I may have a chance. I would like to go to the grocery store and hunt some milk cartons. P.S.

Well good luck with that. I work in defense TBH and I support the military as well as law enforcement. I don’t understand why - like others I know - they have tons of guns. It’s like a disease because these gun owners are the ones that have other questionable beliefs why they need them… It’s like they are diseased in the brain… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shutting down discussions you don't like, using the excuse that we are 'flirting with tools than CAN be used to act out violence'.... is the same as saying "He mentioned a Band Saw, I don't like building cabinetry, so this conversation should be shut down." Sort of a back door way of suppressing Free Speech. WHOOPS ! Is that political? or is it religious? Doesn't that law also encourage freedom to associate with others? It's very confusing.

And no one is going to randomly decide to murder me or enter my home without knowing what they are after ahead of time. I’m that case use your head. With all the state surveillance today no one gets away with anything these days. I even have my own security system which isn’t a gun. Good luck entering my home and damaging the evidence… see if you can find the hard drive without burning the place down… there is a such thing as a cloud service too… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
