Going through the CMP, you should be able to get a Springfield Armory Service Grade for $500. Not a bad deal:

http://www.odcmp.com/Services/Rifles/m1garand.htm#Service

Danish and Greek issue a bit cheaper.

I've been quite pleased with my CMP Winchester Garand (c1943) and my father's Springfield Garand (c1942).

If you like compact firepower, you might investigate one of these (HK51B):

Ugh. If that's the caliber I think it is (.308), I'll have none of that.

The most fun I have had with a pistol was my IPSC 9x21 - capacity was around 22 rds, had a 40mm red dot sight. About as practical as the .44 mag.

I defer to Steelrat when it comes to the actual need for a pistol, mine are just for fun.

But I'll bet you can't drop a steel ram at 200 yards with a Sig.

[Steelrat]

Thats why Im getting the M1A :D

Since we're KIND of on the topic of revolvers, here is my baby.

Taurus Total Titainium 627
(http://www.taurususa.com/products/product-details.cfm?model=627SH4C&category=Revolver)

The only major parts on this gun that aren't Titainium are the barrel and cylinder sleeves, hammer, trigger, and extraction assembly. Guess how much it weighs unloaded. Come on, guess. Okay...19 oz. Yeah. 7 shots of .357 is enough to discourage pretty much anything.

I just started getting into shooting a few years ago. A lot of my friends have huge gun collections. Here is what we've got. The top is a 12guage shotgun from sears. It's old, my dad got it as a wedding present like 22 years ago. The second is a Ruger 308, and the bottom is my Ruger 10/22 that I just got for christmas. It's some 40th anniversary edition. I'm planning on getting a 22 pistol sometime. I just like plinking around the house and the 22 ammo is all that I can afford.

My grandfather's colt .32 pistol. Manufactured in 1920 and still shoot like a dream. Pride of my collection for sure.

Model 75. Not butchered, it's one of the best .22 rifles you could shoot. We prefer "sporterized" ;) Great little gun for squirrels.

The only good Deasert Eagle is a .44 Deasert Eagle, as that was the caliber that the gun was designed for.

I'm not a gun guy by any means (I like shooting them but don't own any).... what's wrong with the Desert Eagle other than the fact that it's so big?

[Target Practice]

I'm not a gun guy by any means (I like shooting them but don't own any).... what's wrong with the Desert Eagle other than the fact that it's so big?

IMO, the gun desing is a little light for the .50 round. Also, with the heavier ammo, it's unbalanced (like I said, it was designed for the .44 round), and nothing sucks harder than an unbalanced weapon. Thirdly, the platform is the perfect size for .44, but it is too big (Again, IMO) for .357, the other round it is offered in.

Anyhoo, yeah, but to each his own.

[Steelrat]

Its not a very good gun. However, Hollywood has some sort of strange fascination with them. Rounds that large arent really practical except for "gee-whiz" shooting fun, and even then I think that a revolver might be a better platform for them.

EDIT: They are also good for whacking bears and such, but if I was going up against something like that, I'll take the reliability of a revolver anyday.

of course! plasma pistols suck in halo, and how often do you see them in real life?

[Carbon]

Hey, Steelrat, you said on AO day, Glock have extraction issues? Could you elaborate please. Was hand loaded ammo a factor?

[Steelrat]

Hey, Steelrat, you said on AO day, Glock have extraction issues? Could you elaborate please. Was hand loaded ammo a factor?

Glocks have two known extraction issues.

The first involves the ejector. There is a piece of metal in the ejector mechanism that is prone to bending and deformation.

The second involves double feeds. A double feed is when a round is fired, the case fails to extract from the breech for whatever reason, and a new round is rammed in behind the empty case. When you run a double feed drill in other guns, you put a spent case in the breech, slide a fresh one in behind it, and do the tap-rack-lock-rip-work-tap-rack-fire drill. However, if you shoot a glock, you have to use a plastic dummy round instead of a spent case. The reason? The spent case will become horribly jammed in the breech if you try the drill, and you actually need to shove a rod down the barrel to get it out. Now, if you are a police officer in the field, and you have a double feed, guess what is sitting in your breech? A spent case. Not good.

Don't get me wrong though, glocks are fine weapons. I just think that you need to know its shortcomings.

[Target Practice]

I have yet to find a Glock that I like. I've shot them in 9mm, .40, and .45. But, it can't be stressed enough...to each his own.

[Army]

The Desert Eagle was indeed first offered in .357 magnum.

That Win. M75 was a wrecked, beat to poop, sad affair of a rifle when I got it in trade. After I removed a LOT of damage, I had a smith do some magic on it. I set it up originally for Sarah, to fit her when she was younger. However, it still fits her fine, and most others too.

Well under an inch at 50 yards is quite common with most any ammo.

[Target Practice]

Well color me corrected. Army, I'll try and get pics up of what the 75 can do. Sarah and I were shooting at a stick half an inch wide at 50 yards. Put one right through the middle.

it was a joke ;) i just beat the trial version of halo on legendary using a plasma pistol 3/4 of the time... took out at least 8 hunters with them. then i beat the trial version on easy without firing a single shot... and then i decided that that was getting pretty pathetic and i finally decided halo was cheap enough to buy, so i got a copy for $20 shipped.

haha lol ok, i think ill end my thread hijack here... but i dont really have anything to contribute since i dont know anything about real guns whatsoever, except for what ive picked up on AO or from friends (from friends being mainly things like "omfg the desert eagle in madness interactive is soo awesome!!!")

Same position here. The Glocks just don't have the "feel" of the SIG. I guess the 9mm I shoot in competitions has grown on me. But of all the handguns I've tried, the Kimber is King.

[Alpha]

I was looking at getting a Garand, but I think I'll go with an M1A (read: M14). I dont like the stripper clips, I'd rather have a box mag.

Issue M14 have arguably THE best box magazine ever made.

If I go into combat when I enlist (looks likely), I'd definetly trust one of those over an AR.

http://www.hkpro.com/socomm16.jpg

[SAW]

My cousin (Current Army) says the same thing. The 5.56 just doesn't have the knockdown power of the .30-06.

[Target Practice]

The Garand clips are rather easy and quick to load, and since they are double stack, they're rather compact. You don't have to worry about ejecting them (that's the best part). The ONLY thing I don't like, is that you can't really load a clip that isn't full into the gun. They do, however, make 2-round clips and a single shot "clip".

[SAW]

That is, tactically, a HUGE dwarback, and the one glaring flaw with the M1. In any sort of combat situation, you always want to have a full mag if at all possible. However, in normal recreational shooing, its no drawback at all.
