Just bought a gun...
Myself | 04/14/2009 | Autumn Raine

Posted on 04/14/2009 1:12:56 PM PDT by autumnraine

I have been reading some discussion regarding guns and ammunition recently and as a lady have always had trouble with a shotgun or rifle due to the length of the barrel. I can use it, but sometimes uncomfortable or not able to aim quickly due to the weight or size.

I went to Walmart today and there is a nice rifle there made by Rossi that is $147. It has an interchangable barrel between a .22 or a .410. So if they are out of one type of ammo, you can go with the other if necessary.

Also, the barrel is short and the gun itself is very lightweight.

So I thought I'd share.

HAHA!

Went to a billiards hall and it’s nothing like the ‘pool halls’ around our parts. This was up in the city and compared to the guys around here, I play pool for crap.

So we (hubby and I) are playing team with a couple of city guys and I said “I’m nothing like my husband” who can run the table.

After my 5th ball in they questioned if I was a shark! I’m like “Wow, you guys must suck around here”.

Nice.
You realize you’ll be a pariah with the internal extractor crowd?

Get an extra rifle that scares the stiffs even though it might not be as effective, the scare factor is fun when they see you carrying it to your car on the way to the range. :)

My AK with black bulgarian composite furniture just to make it spooky for the ant-gunners. Plus it doesn't conduct barrel heat as bad ;)

“Rossi .357 Magnum”

Me too. 6”, stainless steel. Very accurate. Good price too. Not sure but believe Taurus bought Rossi.

Also bought a S&W Sigma .40 a couple weeks ago. Under $400, eats anything, from Speer to Federal to Winchester white box. Never owned a striker-fired gun, but like it. (The trigger’s a bear but has gotten better.)

"Have a ballpark price.."

Excellent resource for pricing firearms HERE.

You can get pricing, order and pick them up participating FFL dealers in your area.

Well you could pick up a nice CZ-52 ( shoots 7.62 x 25mm ammo ) for around $220-260....

Ammo is cheap...and it's a mean round. Fact is...hollow points would be advisable...if using for self-defense.

LOL!! Yes indeed...many hours spent over beers arguing and fist-fights over the advantages of internal vs external extractors.

I’m very aware of that model, but please allow me to make another suggestion.Plain but simple! They also have a Rossi .22 and 20ga combo, the reciever is heavy in design which adds to the .22’s accucacy. but remember and take note that it require disassembly to change barrels. it’s not plug and play. it is also a single shot breech loader.
Check out Mossberg’s model 500 .410 Homedefender.

Just be careful it’s like eating potato chips.
First you get a 91/30, then a M-44, then you
buy a Finn 91/30 then you want a Finn M-39,
then a Mauser 98, soon you don’t have room
in the closet for them. Sometimes I think they
breed in there, as there always seem to be more
than I thought.
The Finns are a bit higher in price but the
workmanship is superb.
The Nagant pistols are a real buy now and still
plenty in excellent shape. Odd cartridge but you
can get a cylinder for .32 that will let you shoot
something cheaper.

I've owned two Sigmas for about 10 years, a 9mm and a .40. The .40 is the most accurate handgun I own, second only to my Taurus 24/7 OSS in .45 acp. If you're liking shotguns, I just bought a Saiga 12.

It's basically an AK-47 chambered for 12 gauge. The magazine hold 12.

Oh yeah, there is a lightweight 357 magnum for $300

That one's worth taking a hard look at IMO.

I carry a Kimber ultraraptor .45 in an in-the-waistband holster behind the right hip with a 511 tactical shirt unbuttoned over a tee shirt with no trouble fitting in..

Nice but a bit hard to conceal..

That's what I like about Arizona. Concealment is not required...
