I figured since I am visiting the site a bit more lately, I thought I would start this thread to see who else on GH might have the same interest I have in shooting sports.

I just got into it this year and it's been an enjoyable new hobby especially understanding all the technical and historical aspects of it. I defintely have tons to learn still but its been nice hearing from others who have been at it longer and slowly picking it up.

I thought it would be nice to start a thread for others to share their knowledger and also anyone thinking of picking up the hobby to ask questions in a less than intimidating setting like a "gun forum" sometimes is setup.

So feel free to post to this thread and contribute with the possible following:

General Discussion - Pistol and Rifles
Interested in Picking up the Sport - Post your general questions
Post a picture
New Pick Ups / What have you added
Deals Thread - Want to share a deal or coupon
Etc...

Let's see your gunssss... How many do you have now? I started less than 2 months ago and already picked up 3 guns: Sig P229, Sig P238, and CZ P-01. Pics to come.

Of course we do. This is a gun thread. Unless you're talking about something else when you say "gun"

I think in Thai the word "gun" has an alternate meaning. lol

Here's my daily carry. Smith & Wesson 5906. Sold my Glock 17 to get her. I don't know which is my favorite between this one and my Beretta 92FS. Yes, I shoot 9mm.

One of these days I'll post some pics of my Beretta, along with my Stag Arms 2T .223 AR-15, my Remington 870 12-ga shotgun, and my Savage 112 .270Win rifle. Maybe my wife will let me borrow her Springfield Arms XD45 or her Glock 19 long enough to take pictures of those.

Tell me about it... not unless you live in a rural area where the sheriff is pretty liberal, you are not getting one in a major california city.

I used to have a Benelli M-1 Super 90 Defense 12 gauge semi-automatic combat shotgun. I went trap/skeet shooting with it and caught nothing but hell when I popped off 6-7 rounds in 1.5 seconds. They didn't like me there very much.

No shotguns yet, but I would love to have a semi auto benelli shotgun some day... its just bad ass. :laser:

Yea, it was, super light, super rad, ultra powerful, but a big responsibility for a guy like me that moves a lot. A hand gun or anything smaller than a combat shotgun would be better because it isn't so visible all the time.

Very nice. Sig is probably the only other manufacturer next to Beretta and S&W I would go with for reliability.

But if I ever did get one it would be an FAL, with the good ol' wooden stock and handle.

I would only include classic SIGs in that. These American designed SIGs are not that great. Glops also face planted with Gen4. S&W has its duds as well.

Yes, classic SIGs are what I was referring to. And I should have stated "non-Sigma" S&W.

Am I the only person slightly weirder out by non-laymen calling firearms "guns" (like a few people in this thread)? Not criticising it, but to me a gun is either a shotgun, or it's a piece of field artillery or something mounted on a boat/aircraft. Calling pistols/rifles guns feels bizarre to me.

itznfb · « **Reply #45 on:** Thu, 14 June 2012, 06:20:48 »

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gun
A gun is a gun.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/firearm
A firearm is more specific.

That's how I've always looked at it.
