Ok, I've been visiting the various forums here for awhile, and I keep seeing posts where folks who own certain brands or types of guns can show them off. Well, I think it's time to see the whole family together, rather than one at a time.

So, quit playing favorites and post 'em all up! Sure, that Kimber Pro Carry or custom-bedded Remington 700 with the uber-scope might be the most photogenic of your collection, but let's look beyond that and give the whole clan the lens-time they deserve.

To get it started, I'll share my small but much-loved group:

Very nice!

Man, do I ever want a Mak. I don't see them in my usual shops, and I dunno that much about them..but they look like awesome guns and I hear they're tons of fun.

How do you like the PLR? I've heard it's a bit tricky to get a decent hand-hold on the thing. Other than that, they look like they'd certainly be good for an afternoon blasting watermelons. :evil:

Aha! A fellow Rock Island owner! (ok, so technically I don't own a Rock, but still the same company)

How do you like your Rock? I was intending to get one, but got the Charles Daly at the last second because of the beavertail grip safety. I'm a wuss, and hammerbite sounds painful. :o

Thanks for sharing!

keep 'em coming ya'll...I'm getting wicked jealous of some of these collections. Gotta start saving those pennies, heh.

I've got 2 rocks the full size and an officer model. Never had hammer bite with either. That being said I find I have hold the grip higher on the Taurus.

May 26, 2007, 11:20 PM
Hm. Maybe I'm overly worried, I have some meaty paws and it's affected my ability to properly grip certain styles of pistols. I LOVE my Charles Daly though. Just wish I had the cash for more ammo. :)

cmw2212
May 26, 2007, 11:23 PM
I would say my hands are average. On the officer model it fits perfectly. I agree on the ammo prices.I just got the AR 2 weeks ago and found some 223 for $3 a box.:what:

Maks are great. Accurate, reliable and built like a tank.

The PLR is the most interesting fun gun I've bought in a long time. Shooting is no problem. Two hand pistol style, or one hand on grip and the weak hand holding forearm or front of magazine works well.
It's reliable and very accurate.


This Family Pictures thread has given me an idea. I can't get my Family in one picture, so I'll continue to take pictures of the "branches" of the family.:)

Awsome pics! new to this forum, avid hunter and owner of several long guns in many different calibers, just moved to a state where handgun ownership is a little easier than NewYork. Recent aquisitions are Springfield v 10 ported ultra compact (my carry piece) Rossi 38 snub the wifes, and NIB springer XD45. Will keep adding family members till I have enough kids to display with the big dawgs!!!

Blackbird - Welcome to the high road! I'm pretty new myself, but it's been good times so far. Congrats on the move, my girl and I are trying to get out to a more friendly state soon as we can. And don't worry about keeping up, show what you got! My collection is teeny tiny compared to some of these guys, but I'm proud of what I have. :D

Okie - Thanks for contributing. I've never shot one of those single-shot pistols, are they mainly for hunting, or do they do target-duty as well?

And nice CD! That's the EFS, right? If so, that's the one I have too. Although yours has much nicer grips, heh.

Okiecruffler
May 30, 2007, 04:34 PM
I don't hunt anymore, except for the occasional walk thru the woods for tree rats and bunnies. So all I do is target. My 223 and my Striker will both shoot consistant 1/2MOA with several loads.
I bought the CD not expecting much, just wanted a 1911 to play with. Man was I pleasently surprised. It's become my daily carry gun, 4100 rds and counting. I bought the grips as a joke, but once I tried them I was hooked, great griping surface. And, yeah, hella cool factor.

Here's the only one in my family at the moment (Rock Island 1911 Tactical). I also have an RIA 38 super but it's gone right now being converted to 9mm. :D

Kingpin - RIA offers the tactical that has the BT safety. It also comes with a skeleton trigger and commander hammer. How do you like the Daly?

Right on - I love my CD. I wanted a centerfire pistol for a long time after only having a few .22's. (nothing wrong with .22, but sometimes you just need a bigger boom, heh) and I fell in love with the 1911 platform after shooting a few range guns. I can't afford most of the 1911's out there, but the Rock Islands and Charles Daly's are pretty freaking sweet for the money.

Linkinlog - Very nice! The shop I use didn't have any tacticals in stock, so it was a toss-up between the CD or the Rock GI. I was originally planning on getting the Rock, but the last minute I decided otherwise. The only thing I regret (and it's not even really a regret) is that the CD is blued, and I much, much prefer parkerized guns. Just something about all the fingerprints. :D Other than that, no real problems. It's had a few FTF/FTE issues, but I'm still breaking it in, and I have a feeling the problems may very well be ammo or mag related. So, overall I love the thing. Just wish ammo was cheaper!

And man, everybody's 1911 has slicker grips than mine. This must be remedied forthwith!

Zen21 & Wes - very nice collections. Makes me glad I'm stone broke right now - otherwise I'd be at the shop right now trying to catch up, heh.:evil:

Back about a month ago, I was enjoying some family time. I snapped this picture and was intent on posting it with the title "The twins and I". So, here are my twins, sitting on the sofa. Bad enough to tell one child from the other with one set of twins, right? Try 3 sets of twins. Of course, each of my children is meaningful in their own right. I do not play favorites. :) Ain't they purdy?!

Alucard - Very impressive collection. Where do you shoot? I'm in Columbia, and have yet been able to find an outdoor range to use. I've heard of the Hap Baker range, but last I heard they're rebuilding parts of it after a fire.

And what kind of cabinet is that?

Doc - They're charming! And so well behaved, lining up like that for a picture! :) If you should ever need to send one to a foster home, let me be the first to volunteer to look after one of your brood, heh.

kingpin008

Mmmm...Hi Powers. Very cool. I'm looking to get myself one at some point soon. I have about 3-4 handguns I'm drooling over lately, but I NEED to buy myself a decent rifle. The collection's getting a little lopsided. :rolleyes:

Although I will say, Mr. Fumigator - much like my offer to Doc, if you should ever require a loving foster home for one of your collection, I'd be glad to lend a hand.

alucard0822
May 31, 2007, 09:25 AM
Thanks Kingpin Yup you guessed right, I am one of the Hap Baker orphans, shot there about twice a week, the pistol range is back up and running, but the rifle range is still at least a few months away, after it burned to the ground. I have been thinking about the mariottsville club range, but it is a private range where you need sponsors to join (dont know anyone), and costs a lot of money, so I probably will just wait untill Hap baker is rebuilt to fire the boomsticks.

The cabinet is an Alucard insomnia exclusive, red felt interior with brass hardware and locks, and black painted particle board, you too can build one in about 2 weeks full of sleepless nights:scrutiny:

kingpin008
May 31, 2007, 01:36 PM
Haha - I have a wierd hospital-medicine-cabinet type thing that I resuced from the dump in my room. Really thin sheet metal construction, so I only use it to store ammo rather than guns, but if I could find another one I'd probably try to beef it up enough to make me confident it'd securely hold my guns.

Doesn't it suck, living around here and trying to find places to shoot? I've heard about all these outdoor areas, but 95% you have to either be a member, drive all the way out to hell and gone to find, or both. I have the navigational sense of a walnut, so trekking to find most of these places is a crapshoot at best, heh.

Maybe when they get the rifle range up and running we can meet up and put some rounds downrange. It's tough finding people to shoot with around here.

alucard0822
May 31, 2007, 08:12 PM

You can just barely tell, but the Ruger has gold fill in the Ruger logo ;)

Zen21 - Very nice. Like I said earlier, there's just something awe inspiring to see some of these collections. It's very cool to see the different variations people take with their guns, so many choices...I dunno. I love looking at guns. Not much else to it, I guess. :D

Jragsdale - Slick! I've seen a few examples of bead blasted revolvers here and there, and the more I see the more I like it. I'm a fan of stainless over blued to begin with, but I think the bead blasting really brings out a richness that regular stainless just doesn't have. hard chrome is also pretty classy on a nice solid revolver, but it seems that it may be getting less and less common as a treatment option..

kingpin008, glass bead blasting is a very labor intensive project. Those little beads get everywhere and require a lot of cleaning. I suggest you have an experienced gunsmith do it and explain to him exactly what you want it to look like. Glass bead blasting is usually done so that the finish does not reflect light. You might end up with a dull, rather unattractive metallic gray after he's done.

The bead blasting that I had gone reflects light, but not as much as the factory brushed stainless. It's subdued rather than dull.

Just a warning for you if you're considering having it done :)

kingpin008
June 3, 2007, 02:29 AM
Yongxing - dude, there's not words. I sorta regret making this thread..the urge to catch up to some of these collections I'm seeing is intense. Thanks for posting, I'm gonna have to get to the range really, really soon to put my pistols through their paces to keep my wallet safely in my back pocket. Hard part of that is the range I use is also a gun store. :banghead:

Jragsdale - Oh, there's no way I'd even attempt something like that on my own. I have the mechanical ability of a drunk ape, and the few guns I do own have greatly depleted my ability to replace them, at least at this point, heh. Maybe in the future, but right now I just like to look. :D

Brian is the winner but he cheated because he is rich and has a very good job that pays 60-80k a year.


I don't quite think that math works out, brian would either have to make MUCH more than that, or would have had to work for over 200 years, perhaps some form of secondary income, cabana boy to the stars? P diddy entourage coordinator? maybe cumulative royalties from some virtually unnoticed, yet common and entirely useful product ie. the paper clip, .00002 cents ea would sure add up.

briansp82593:

Crap! And here I was ready to finally post the pics of my collection, thinking someone else here had a similar collection. Well, back to my s"hell". My wife calls it the armory. What's worse, now I feel like I my wife might be right...maybe I do have too many firearms! D@mn you man! D@mn you I, say! :evil: You mean to tell me, it isn't "normal" to purchase 3 firearms with each paycheck?!?! I've done that since I graduated! Psych!

Okay, okay...you have fantasies of the blonde next door, and I have fantasies of a the blonde-stocked Mauser at the next store. :D

That was a good prank you pulled! In fact, it was REALLLLLY good!!!

My collection is worth maybe $1,000 2 rifles,a revolver,and a shotgun.
I dont want to show my collection because its poor and something a 18 year old would start with

If you are proud of them post em. By making a concious decision to proudly own even a single gun you join a certain type of brother/sister hood, some have one, some have hundreds, but a brother you are none the less.


I saw the disclaimer, but i didn't want to spoil the fun, and have been waiting for an occasion to bust out this pic of my house:D

Doc2005: If you feel the need to lighten your collection, please support poor up-and-coming enthusiasts such as myself:D think how good it would make you feel to know you helped the needy.

and i feel a little worried that i knew that those pics weren't brian's and i even knew who a few of them belonged to(gixer1000-guy-dude)

Yeah, I knew some of those weren't Brian's, too.


Brian, how about you chill out on posting large pics of other's collections? That takes up a lot of bandwidth, and you aren't even showing off your guns doing it.

Hi, my name is (your name here) and I have a gun addiction....umm, I mean collection.;)

I think I own 8 all total, maybe 9. No pics, but seeing some of these collections, I couldn't resist a smarty pants comment because I'm so jealous.

I recognize gixerman2000s safe from a while back. Shame on you brian for the plagiarism. In college, you get booted for that, in industry, you get promoted and made the boss....haha. Funny how that works. I'm in industry now. :D

SPECTRE - Thanks for showing us your clan...I wish I was more able to get into milsurp. It's something that I'm gonna have to leave until I'm older and actually have the room to collect massive amounts of it, heh.


Follow these steps and you'll catch up in no time:

1. Apply for and secure a C&R license.
2. Buy milsurp wholesale from CAI, SOG, Midway, etc. delivered to your door.

Since I'm not buying any more guns for awhile (focusing on bayonets, slings, ammo stocks, repair/refinish, gun room, etc.) you have a chance to catch up.

And, I cheated a bit. The top row is my brother's collection. He's in Iraq right now so I'm accepting and storing his orders. The gun on the right is my dad's, a .410 bolty that I restored for him.

Here's a crappy pic of the 1963/1964 Colt Single Action Frontier Scout that my grandmother gave my now deceased grandfather as an anniversary present. We inherited it.

CZ 22, while an F-15 it isn't that colt is both yours and spectacular, the suspense has been killing me, I am not dissapointed

Actually, alucard, I was gonna raise you with a pic of me in front of an 18? inch naval gun in the I mperial War Museam lawn.
But the Colt is very nice.
The flap-top was made in a boot shop, if I remember correctly.
