Gun Owning Smokers

I just finished my display rack / cabinet for my collector rifles.

Very nice! A Garande, a Mosin and an old Bess?? Can't make out the last one. Is it an Enfield??

Check out the contest sub-forum. Running a contest to guess them right now.

Added a few more guns to my collection.




The top one is my dad's and the bottom is mine. I put them together on Friday and got some shooting in this weekend.

Very nice!! That's the best and cheapest way to do it. Buy an upper parts kit and a stripped lower and build it yourself. Did you get a detachable carrying handle??

No, the rifle on the bottom is mine. I plan on getting a Magpul MBUS and an Eotech sight for mine. The top one is my dad's and it has the detachable handle.

Just to post a question out to everyone,

I am by no means knowledgable in handguns but I am interested in getting one for fun at the range and just to have around the house. What would be a good beginner's handgun?

If I were you, I'd join a gun forum, like Smith&wesson forum.com or 1911 forum for a question like that. Also, if you haven't already, brush up on your hunter's safety courses, general gun safety & or join your local range / hunting club.

Get some safety classes first, or find someone locally willing to help you for their favorite brand of whiskey. Next, I would look at a starter gun like a hammerless S&W .38 so that you can get used to shooting it and work on being safe. Its low recoil and .38 is cheap to shoot.

Once you get the fundamentals down, then work your way up to a semi-auto like the Springfield XD line. They're under $650, come with 2 magazines, mag loading tool, gun holster, mag holster, and cable lock. I own both the XD .45 and XDm 9mm, obviously in different colors. Both are great shooters and I like the features and multiple safeties built into these models.
