I decided to get my first gun.

Remington M1911R1 chambered in the oh-so-classic .45 ACP

So far with 110+ rounds downrange, she's a pretty fun gun to shoot. I plan to make it my CCW of choice once I take my class. I'm also a southpaw, so ambi safety and beavertail mods coming soon

Very nice. I have a sig 40 cal. I can switch the barrel to .357 as well. I love it. I shoot the 40 cal mostly cause its cheaper but I love it. I try to go shooting at least on e every two weeks. My next one will b a kimber

Its a great Sub-Thou gun. The Kimber is a great model as well, but IMO you are just paying for a name. They are all 99% identical in parts

Lucky mofo, I have to wait 2 more years for handguns, and I plan on a M1911 being the first, then a .45 or a .357 lol. Have fun with the new purchase though.

:P One of the great things I was excited for turning 21 was to get a handgun. I've been holding off to pay cash but I just got a new credit card with 0% APR until next year so I went half down now and payments later.

I don't like Glocks too much. Too fat and ugly, IMO. Like I said, maybe a Sig P226 or a Springfield XDm-9...and once this "assault weapon" craze is over with...M4A1 carbine with holographic sights

Another fine rifle right there, always wanted one too. I really want an M1 Garand and an M1A1 Carbine too. But the M4 is my dream rifle, but not happening while I live in California lol.

If you live in Cali, you're going to have a helluva time getting ahold of a stock 1911 since they dont have the magazine safety on them

Joe, I don't know crap about guns. I've been on the 1911 forums for a week and that's one thing I picked up on- stock 1911s cannot be bought in cali because they will fire with a chambered round and no mag in the gun. Stupid, but I don't understand what thats so important. You can buy a modded 1911 which will not fire without the mag and then in turn undo the mod, but you have to buy it from a FLL dealer as modded to get a legal 1911 in Kali.

Yes we can, Michigan is a pretty pro gun state that allows open carry and with proper training and license you can carry concealed too.
