    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    All things being considered (cost, impression upon gifting, longevity, shooting fun/value, functionality, class factor, build quality) All point to NAA. I appreciate your comments on your personal experience with the 63. I have heard that their triggers are stiff... Made me want to spend the...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    hookers, haha. The earl is cool, but too big to be a mini in my book... based on the length. I stumbled on some single shot shotguns too. H&R and Rossi Both make break away single shots for about $125... now we are talking shotguns in the handgun forum, AHHHH! I found a source on the...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    I am confident they will appreciate just about anything I would buy them, especially any item that is of high quality for the class of firearm it is in. For example, a $200 hi-point is not worth a damn in quality compared to an H&K. However, a $200 NAA mini is a very high quality firearm (I...

    NAA Mini vs knife

    Wow this is an interesting one... I feel that even a poor shooter can get to about 8 feet with an NAA mini, so it has better range than a human using a knife who isn't throwing it. Your "hole size" argument makes sense on paper (meaning if you shoot/stab paper!). Soft fleshy things are a...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    I would describe about 50% of the gun brands out there as rightfully argued in terms of quality. Kel Tec doesn't make the list for me. I would be thrilled to own one and I would trust my life to one like I would my Glock, Remington (BA, shotty), Winchester (BA), or DPMS AR. And I also think...

    Do you keep your extra range mags loaded???

    THANK you for quoting a source (mostly). It is nice to know that I shouldn't worry too much about keeping a plethora of glock mags loaded for the zombies/aliens/gun confiscation team. that last one was a joke ; )

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    I keep looking at all the options. I think I MUST have the NAA revolvers. They are just awesome (and the only thing on my list that is new AND quality except the derringer or CB revolver). Now I just need to find a deal on them. .22LR or mag, 1 1/8 or 1 5/8 barrel, stainless with wood...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    a .45 derringer would hurt bad enough I think... I know I said I didn't like the looks of the baby revolvers earlier, but I went to NAAs webpage, and I really like the 1 5/8" barrel .22 mag&LR ones, and they are about $180 online. So there is another option. I didn't make it to the gun show...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    Yeah they are cool. I just really think I would rather get a Makarov. I hate how all the cool surplus stuff gets so popular and skyrockets in value. Shipping most pistols is $20-30 for singles, $15 each when shipping a bunch. a $200 1911 .22 is going to exceed $200. They are sweet, but don't...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    Those 1911 .22s are SWEET! But they will exceed $200 with a check and shipping : ( For the money for a plinker, I think I would go with the phoenix... I heard they are out of production. A store near my house gets them in periodically for $99. I might go to a gun show this weekend and see if I...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    I think we're getting a little wild here... The budget is below $200, and whatever it is will compete with the $113 phoenix .22LR plinker... So keep that in mind. I don't have the money/time to refurbish anything. I would love to get 4 ruger .22s, but where are they less than $200? Most of them...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    There have been some changes to "the plan" from the fience. I have 3 groomsmen, and my brother is officiating the wedding. She said I am to oly get 4 guns, and I con't leave my bro out... Which makes sense to me. I really wanted a souvinier as well, but I guess I can always replicate at a later...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    Shotguns... I eluded to this being a possibility in an earlier post. I think all 3 of my groomsman have 12 gage pumps, and in black. Wouldn't really enrich any of their collections. that derringer is pretty. I realize this is a little bit form over function, but i'm an engineer. I can't...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    I'm not crazy about the looks of the mini revolvers... So far I like: New KelTec PF9s (hopefully haggled to $800 for 4) Surplus Makarovs (Can't find em under $200 ea, and they aren't worth that to me) Surplus P64s ($600 for 4) I have plenty more looking to do though! Thanks for all the...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    I used to work at a company that was full of gun nuts and the company and a few of my co workers had FFLs. I am quite confident that it is legal here. I am in Oregon.

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    wow! active thread. I will edit the first post to respectfully say "fiance". She actually prefers "ball and chain" to "old lady" though. It is kind of an inside joke... I will buy all 3, and gift them. My groomsmen are already all responsible gun owners. I am NOT getting them gift...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    I know this has been discussed before, but in the ever changing handgun market, recency and relevancy usually go hand in hand. So enjoy the discussion. I will be buying 4 handguns: One for each of 3 groomsman and one for myself. They will probably all match. I already have a reliable source for...
