The Gun Thread

[Hayden Goseek]

The second gun I ever bought was a S&W 629, the result of Dirty Harry movies. For me it was one of those magical firearms that I could not miss the target with. I loved that gun so much I had to buy every variation and length of it. Many years later when shooting league with a different 629 I would download full wadcutters in .44 spl cases. It was a dream to shoot and I thought I was pretty good until I found shooting Bullseye competition pistol, but that is a story in itself. Sally would understand.

It's not the most practical gun but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
(Unless DD were to talk me out of it.)
I always wanted a Charter Bulldog but .44 special ammo has become hard to find.

I had forgotten about the Bulldog, I had one in the '70 for CC. It was a short bbl, maybe 2.5 or 3 inch. It was super light. I thought it was going to blow up every time I squeezed the trigger. I developed a great flinch that took years to overcome.

Maybe I better borrow one before I get too attached.

They have expanded the lineup and the prices quite a bit. https://charterfirearms.com/collections/bulldog I remember that mine loosened up quite a bit by the time I got rid of it. I believe it had a timing issue.

The woman I dated before I married my wife instilled a flinch that took me years to overcome, too.

My ugliest recoiling pistol is an AMT Backup .45acp. It is small, light and leaves my pinky without a partner to the dance. It also has the heaviest trigger I've encountered in a 1911-ish pistol. It's like sqeeEEEZE and then it explodes.

Mine was a .45 ACP Derringer. It lived in my vehicle and didn't get shot much.

I don't shoot pistols or have any (unless you count air pistols lol) do to our current government

but got some reloading supplies for my 9.3x57 on the way, hoping to load up a nice round for bear hunting this spring.

I like air guns my only issue is I prefer vintage guns lol. most air guns are too modern for my taste, I really got bitten by old sporting guns and double barrel shotguns.

There was a guy at the local club who brought his Desert Eagle to shoot the centerfire match at a club 2700. He was shooting to my right, and moved to the far end of the line when we got to Centerfire. I could still feel the concussion every time he shot.
