Been going to the range a bit with the gf over the last couple of weeks and using her guns while we were there. Kind of fell in love with the Glock .45 she has and decided that I wanted the same model.

I tried the 10mm but it felt off for some reason. Not sure how to explain it really.

I ended up going to a local shop today and picking up my own G21 (Gen 4) and am now ordering a few things for it.

Taking a couple classes next week to prep for the permit class next month, and I'm excited that I'll have my own while I'm there.

So yeah, ask me anything. =D

(expects this topic to be ignored or devolve into anti gun hatred).

Ok. I have a question or two.

1. What is the relationship (if any) between caliber and millimeter? (i.e. .45 cal and 10mm) I never really understood the difference.

2. Where are you? Are these classes and the permit class required where you live?

1. I didn't know the answer so I looked it up. This forum post seems to explain it as just using the metric system vs the english system. 9mm and 10mm are easier to say than their english caliber counterparts, whereas .45 or .50 cal is easier to say than their metric counterparts.

http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66079

2. I'm in Memphis, TN. I'll be taking intro to handguns w/ the gf next week and then following up w/ the intermediate class before finally taking the permit class next month.

The classes are in no way required to purchase a handgun, or to even have it in the home. They're simply to educate myself on using my gun. However, Tn law states that in order to actually carry a loaded handgun, you need the permit. If you don't have the permit and you use the gun outside of your home (even in self defense) it's unlawful.

Obviously that doesn't transfer to the range, but that brings up the question of transportation. If you don't have your permit, then you must have the gun completely unloaded and have the ammo stored out of range of the gun (so you'd put the gun in your trunk and the ammo in the front seat or something like that).

You do have to take the permit class in order to actually get the permit, but you actually get the permit from the DMV after taking the class, which I thought was hilarious....send someone to one of the most reviled places you possibly can in order to get a permit to carry a gun.... lol

Ok. THAT I was not expecting. XD
Thanks for the info.
That clears some things up. I only have a rifle, but I'm still interested in taking a gun safety course (which I kind of wish was mandatory, but...).

Np.

I had only ever shot a handgun once (when I was about 12) before we started going to the range. I've got an M1 Garand that I've never actually gotten a chance to fire (my grandfather bought two for us from a limited run when I was young) that I'm thinking about taking to the range if they'll let me and I've got the ammo for, lol.

I do know that I plan on going through the rifle and shotgun classes as well, but not until I've at least gotten my permit for the handgun.

My total was a little over 650. The Gen 4 was more expensive (being newer and whatnot in addition to coming with an extra mag).

The old saying of "you get what you pay for" applies doubly so to guns.

I also just bought a beavertail grip extension, a slide lever stop extension as well as a punch kit and cleaning kit that should be here Friday. =D

external image

I got that after shooting two mags from the 10mm my first night shooting. I learned real quick not to ride the gun too high after that (which is why I went ahead and bought the beavertail grip for my new .45).

And here's one of the targets from Monday night:

external image

That's 5 mags, second time shooting. =D

Cool! How they have robots and aliens too.
Maybe even secret agents.

Nah, pretty much normal targets and then a few more zombie ones.

I'll post more pictures of the targets from the first week as well as more from Monday when I get them back from the gfs house.

I think that permit classes are important. I'm all for guns being legal as they should be everywhere, but they should require training and qualifications. People who have guns should be able to show that they can use them responsibly.

Anyway shooting handguns is a ton of fun. I might say that they are more fun to shoot than rifles.

I dunno if I can say shooting handguns is more fun than shotguns or rifles; I haven't had enough experience with them.

I've shot an M4A1, an AK47, a Desert Eagle, some sort of revolver, (Probably smaller than a .357, I don't remember) 4-10 (The only gun I actually own), and various other ones I can't remember.

Ok, here are the first week targets.


Not sure of the order I shot them in, so...yeah.

I usually won't load the mag to full since getting the last 2 rounds in can actually hurt, so when I say a put a mag into a target, it should be around 10-13 shots.

Zombie 1:
external image

I put 5 mags in this one. 2 in the head, 1 in the brain, one in the chest and one in the crotch. The left side spread is where my gf shot (she likes to just unload a mag really quick lol).

Zombie 2:
external image

I think this was the first one I shot, so I was getting used to the gun (since I had only shot once a long time ago). Clown zombies are evil. He's got no eyes. =P I was shooting at the hand so I could see where I was hitting. Not my best shooting, but still ok for a beginner.

Zombie 3:
external image

I think this was the second one I shot, not entirely sure. I put 5 mags into it I think.

I'll post pics of week 2 targets when I get them from the gfs house.

We're going back monday when I'll get to shoot my own gun, which I'm excited to do, especially since I'll have the beavertail grip on it and won't have to work about the slide biting my hand, and it'll give me more recoil control. =D
