What was your first "expensive" gun?

[bigred1]

Kimber Custom Shop CDP II 1911 5" .45acp
It just called to me from across the room at Outdoor America

Now that I've seen the new Springfield Armory Saint Edge PDW Pistol (5.56 Nato / .223) in the American Rifleman magazine I think it's calling me too........... It's haunting me.

Oh man, I like that Springfield too...

Ditto - it may be inefficient in 5.56, but it is way cool. Wonder if they’ll produce a 300 Blackout version, which I think would be better with such a short barrel.

Said he elevated about 6ft over the target. First shot, first time he'd ever handled a Luger!! Impressed me, for sure!!

I have to admit, it wasn't the first time I'd fired a 9mm at that 300 yd steel. It was the first time shooting any Luger though. I was impressed with the pistol.

Edit: My expensive gun is a 12 ga SXS shotgun built by Fausti of Italy. I got to select the engraving on the receiver. It's so intricate that you can see the slot of the screw head but not the outline of the screw itself. I've taken it hunting for upland game a few times.

We can only keep our fingers crossed and keep an eye out. If they do get out of my way cause I'll be ready to plunk down my hard earned cash.

This was the one that Dennis rang steel at 300yds at the Ponca City long range meet earlier this year.



Did this really happen or were all of you too old to see or hear from that far away?

44 AUTO MAG 10 inch barrel. Cost 700$. In camp deer hunters were shooting at pennies & not hitting any . They talked me into trying the Auto mag . Hit penny almost dead center. Some one stole the penny out of my desk drawer at work.

A few weeks after getting married my wife sent me out for soy sauce. I came home with the soy sauce and a Colt 6940. Then I dropped the soy sauce as I walked through the front door. What an evening...
