Oh hey, you're the guy that posted that RPD pic in the Vegas shooter thread.
I don't have any guns, but I was considering looking for a Sig P226.
Thoughts?
Sig P226s are great guns, if it's what you want in a fire arm, you will not be let down. I've owned 2 sigs both P series and very much happy with them, it's a long story why I don't own them, so I'll spare you but it has nothing to do with the quality of the firearm.
That being said, you are no guns, if this is your first buy will it meet what you want for a fire arm? If so, you will be happy.
If you have very little experience I would say you need to get a .22, be it a rifle or a pistol, and practice the basics on that. If you're looking for a carry handgun there are certainly newer/cheaper options out there, though a 226 is a decent if you find a decent deal. My dad has one in .40 that he used to ccw.
There's a pretty big mixed camp on 22 first or not, I tend to lean to yes. The anti's are big for "flinch" being built in, I disagree but I digress. He mentioned owning no firearms, not no experience, I hate to broadly generalize things so, I hope he can chime in more what they want a firearm for their experience etc.
All that said, P226 are great, if it works for his needs. It's just a darn good gun.
I like that 'nam set up a whole lot. I always liked the A1's foregrip. It may eventually end my embargo on ARs.
Until then, it's been all slavshit. But, great slavshit like the Vz.58.
Give in, 20" ARs are dope AF. I posted mine in the Mega rad Gun thread in OT. I am also not a "fan" of AR's I own 4....... the Old girl build is my jam, the only one I "enjoy"
You can never go wrong with slav shit komrade, never. VZ58s are just a flying fuck you to Russia and logic, and great fire arms. It's a shame the mags are not cheap.
Also please forgive me for sounding like back seat modding, but we have at least 2 gun threads in OT, so lets put this on the focus on shooting it self and not just turn it into another firearm thread, we have great ones already rolling.
So that being said, lest I wag my finger and walk away. What kind of shooting do you all do? I shoot, for fun/relaxing (plinking) I used to compete in 2 gun mostly to run troll setups and sometimes just wipe the local scrubs up. I've done some long range shooting and kinda like it due to muh autism of hand loading and dedication it takes. But also I enjoy hunting. I think for most people who do hunt, I love animals so I focus on good clean fatal shots. That also lets me get snobby and play at my reloading bench.
I have been cooking up some new rounds for amusement, I'm a wildcatter at heart and love strange ammo so building my own is just a big enjoyment of the sport.
