Fired a pistol for the first time today... - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Lots of fun. It was an S&W MP.45.

The .45 is kind of a big pistol round, putting one on target isn't terrible hard, but putting 3-4 on target would be. I could tell from firing it you really would need to practice a lot to be able to fire them off real fast.

Lots of fun, just remember to keep your finger off the triggar so you don't shoot yourself!

I should have taken a picture of my grouping it was tight enough to kill someone. Out of 10 in the first clip 9 hit the target, 2 in the red center and the rest pretty damn close.

Good.

Where'd #10 go?

Big pistols are a lot of fun. Back in the day, when my closest neighbor was almost a mile away, my friend used to bring over his 44 magnum. What a beast that thing was. I bagged several small trees with it. Now I live in horse country. Horsey people really hate guns, so I don't get a chance to shoot anymore.

Here's a Walther PPK/S .32AP, a little smaller if you have small hands.
A sweet piece of work.

My Browning Hi Power 9mm is a nice medium size pistol. Single action, reliable, safe to carry, etc.

The .45 is too big for me to grip, even with a single stack magazine.

Does this mean the peace sign is now just a pile of spent cartridges?

I liked it. A pistol gives you power and options, its a lot of rock n role in your hands.

Apparantly from this shooting range you cant rent MP5's, thats next on the list.

I want to get a desert Eagle .50AE, so I can shoot it inside and be a jerk!

You popped your handgun cherry with a .45?

That's a nice sized round. Now, go out and fire something like a Desert Eagle .50 with one hand and you'll think the .45 is a pop gun!

Let him try a .44 +P one handed. He'll have a dent in his forehead.....

KarTek · #11 05-09-2008, 03:49 PM

Yeah, in a revolver... The D-E action takes all the kick out of the big cartridges...

I'm a big guy and I actualy liked the .45. If I came down on the target I didn't have a problem, the kick back wasn't really that bad. If I wanted to run through a clip in like 5 seconds and hit something that would take a lot of practice!

You really need to practice with a .45 to be able to put a lot of rounds on target well.

The full sized .45 felt good, I checked out a compact S&W .40 and it felt kind of small.

I'd buy a Desert Eagle, thats a mans gun, it will put some hair on your chest!

Yep, lasted about 15 minutes.

KarTek · #14 05-09-2008, 03:52 PM

The Desert Eagle is an "ego gun" as far as I'm concerned... It's fun to shoot and looks good in the movies but I have yet to see a practical use for it...

As far as shooting fast, you pretty much have to have the gun set up for it with porting and whatnot.

Hatterasguy · #15 05-09-2008, 03:54 PM

Oh yeah its totaly useless, but its so cool who cares!

Thats a massive freaken round! The range had a few 5 gallon buckets full of spent casses and there were a few .50 BMG rounds in them. Wow you get hit by that and its taking your arm or head!

Body armour won't matter with that mosnter!
