💬 A little guessing game for handgun owners or enthusiast. How many of these 13, 9mm's, can you name?

[planomateo]

I picked up a few boxes of 9mm, 10mm, and 150 rounds of .223 the other day. Gotta buy when you can.

Surprised no 92fs in here

I hear you Plano. I ordered 1,500 9mm, 1,500 .40 and 500 .357 about 2 months back. 9mm was impossible to find around Nashville. A store would get in 2 pallets and they’d be gone by lunch. I’ve been using Ammunition Depot for a little while. They get you the stuff shipped out very quick and free shipping.

Good article in the Opinion section of the WSJ today from a writer there that just bout his first firearm. He gives some stats on who is buying right now and the demographics would surprise some. 40%+ of new buys this year are females and the racial demographics are not the norm. But it matches exactly what my friends that own pawn shops around here have been telling me.

One gun I've never fired is a Beretta.

I count 4 1911s in 9mm. Do you own any in .45?

You know, 'cause that's the proper caliber for that platform

Right on, Skeeter. All bark and no bite in 9mm! Lol I’ve got a Smith and Wesson 1911 and a WWII Colt 1911, both 45’s. The Colt was my granddad’s from the war. He was shot down once in the pacific and also crash landed another bomber in the Pacific. Kept this same .45 all through the war, for 3.5 years, mostly on 2 carriers. Still a great shooting pistol. But dang, these .45s have gotten expensive to shoot.

What an outstanding keepsake! Everything is expensive to shoot these days.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is slowly working toward releasing 1911's for public sale, but they are going to be very pricey.

That’s interesting info, 11. I pulled up their site and see that. I’m going to email them for more info to make sure I don’t miss the next sell. These are great guns.

They're still selling M1's from their stores at McClellan and at the CMP range. Most of them have been overhauled from foreign returns.

It looks like they've had a bit of interest in the 1911's.

IT seems they're a little "chippy" about the interest...

CMP 1911 is still processing orders. (ASKED & ANSWERED)

 

[RollllTide!]

I have one of these. A Cimarron 1911 wild bunch .45 That is a ww1 copy. It shoots great.

I love the basic GI/ mil spec guys except those tiny sights. My old eyes gotta have 3 big dots now.

Tim, I looked around and found three shops that have changed hours/practices within 50 miles or so...

I really don't have to look at "stock" now. I've wishes...and will be spending at the Armory.

That's a helluva keepsake. I love guns with history.....ACTUAL history.

Re, the bold part: Why do you think I still have as much ammo today as I did 6 months ago, lol. I haven't gotten any more, but I haven't shot any, either. Dang stuff is too expensive to do either.

Handgun ammo has become like a fine wine. I’m like you, I haven’t shot in probably 4 months. Only once since this virus mess. No real excuse why.
