Gus turns 21 on the 21st!

[gharsh]

Have a special B-Day. Turning the age of your date only happens once in a lifetime. Make it special.

How about a nice T/C Hawken, just for fun. NOt good to conceal, but who cares

 

[BerettaNut92]

gharsh, not if your birthday is on February 29th

Gus, what are you going to list on your permit, or do you have to in PA? We can only list 3

 

[cordex]

Happy birthday!

Hope you get a good chunk of what you want.

 

[Gus Dddysgrl]

We don't have to list any on our application. If I had to though I would put:

Glock 19
S&W 60
Daddy's Snubbie

 

[WhoKnowsWho]

Happy B-Day!

Hope you don't feel as old as I did when I turned 21.

May Glocks and S&Ws rain from the sky, actually, never mind, that might hurt...

 

[Gus Dddysgrl]

I still feel like I'm 18. heehee so nope I don't feel any older.

I wish a gun would just land in my lap for me to use. However I doubt Daddy would be up for that. heehee.

Dodging guns might be a little harder than dodging raindrops. Unless is it a slight drizzle.

The raining guns was the only part of Magnolia I liked.

Happy Birthday, Gus!

gharsh wrote that "turning the age of your date only happens once in a lifetime." When I lived in the midwest, they called that your "Golden Birthday." I spent mine (19 on the 19th, long ago) studying for a mean old exam. Getting your CCW paperwork in is MUCH better!

Dodging guns might be a little harder than dodging raindrops.

Ammo showers might be nice, though.

Welcome, Gus's Guy! You wrote earlier that

I've turned in my paint brushes and drawing tablets for the highroad

Don't have to do that; they're welcome here, too. You wrote that you don't have any guns (note the plural) yet. You will. Just be sure to budget some money for food along the way.

Gus, you'll get that Glock somehow, I bet. I'd add beautifully-blued old Detective Special and a Rock River match-grade AR, since you mentioned having tried EBRs and liking 'em.

Wedding present? Think "matching Pythons." The best man should carry a slung AR, btw. The rest of the wedding party can go wild with BBQ guns and fancy stuff. I can hear the minister saying, "If anyone present objects to this union ... well, I'm not sure that it's such a good idea to say much..." Sounds like kind of the reverse of a "shotgun wedding."

Have fun, you two.

And Happy Birthday, HankB!

(scheming. . .)

Gus, would you feel comfortable posting a picture of yourself at the range? It'd help those of us who've never met you to better decide what might be suitable - and we could get close on your LOP (length of pull), waist size, stuff like that.

If not, that's cool too!

You have fun today! Happy Birthday!

It's been fun seeing this thread develop.

I don't have any pics I can easily get up right now. After class I'll get dad to do some for me. Like I have the pics, but they are like real film pics not digital. So I'll have to scan them in later.

I turned in my papers. Now I just have to wiat and see.

Here is one from another thread with my 1953 Sistema 1911

 

[igor]

Happy...

... day! I wonder if a black (sort of), evil and veeeeery cool rifle would be appropriate?

 

[Phantom Warrior]

HA...I win...

Ok, at the risk of being creepy, I knew that picture looked familiar. This is a copy of that pic from an old family members thread. Same thing, just a little zoomed out. Might be easier to estimate from.

I only remember this cuz it was right above the picture of the 8-year old girl with a 20" AR-15 and a beautific smile on her face. That cracked me up. If there is a reason that you didn't want this posted, just put up a note and I'll delete the post ASAP. Hope this helps.

(P.S. Do you mind admitting how tall you are? I'm curious if an old trick still works...)

 

[Gus Dddysgrl]

Ok here are a few pics of me.

Phantom Warrior- I am 5'5"

This is at the local range we go to. I am about 15 yards at the handgun section. You can see in the distance the 50-yard backstop. Behind that is the hundred yard backstop.

[Gus Dddysgrl]

Close up of me shooting one handed.

And THERE is the Glock I waaaaaaant.

Gus

Note the brass flying about a foot above my forearm.

 

[Mike Irwin]

Happy Day, Gus...

Trust me, in a couple of years you won't be nearly as happy about your birthday...


Guns to give you?

Hum...

An S&W K-22 Masterpiece, and an S&W K-38 Combat Masterpiece.

Two of the greatest handguns ever conceived.

 

[Gus Dddysgrl]

I finally read CR Sam's.

What is a Feinwerkbrau 2602 UIT???????????

Gus

 

[Phantom Warrior]

Thanks. I was guesstimating your height based on the ratio of the gun to your arm length. (Arm length *2) + (around 1' for the torso) = height (since the distance from your head down to your toes is the same as the distance from fingertip to fingertip if you spread your arms straight out). I came up w/ a real rough estimate of about 5'3". Which isn't bad.

Thanks for satisfying my nerdy curiosity.

 

[Stickjockey]

Happy Day, Gus!

Three pages and no one's mentioned the ever-popular HK P7M8?

How about:

a custom Mauser bolt gun in Gus' favorite tack drivin' caliber, and maybe a good Pennsylvania flinter? What's your take on smokepoles?

Wedding present?

a cased pair of caplock duelling pistols

Seriously, congratulations!

 

[Andrew Wyatt]

everyone needs at least one 1911. Preferably hard chrome.

 

[Gus Dddysgrl]

Last night dad finally showed me how to field strip the Glock. Woohoo!!!!!! This may be a step towards my owning it. heehee. He also did not respond when I asked if I could keep it.

Also he is lending me a very small 25 ( I think ) I honestly forget what it is. (Daddy I could use some help. ) It will make a perfect pocket gun at least till I can get a good holster to see how I want to carry something bigger.

Can't wait to see what my first rifle will be.

Thanks again forall the ideas. I know what most of them are or at least can quickly look them up, but Jon (my fiancee known as Gus's Guy) has no idea what any thing is. the pics posted helped him. This is a great introductory into him learning more about firearms. Thanks

Gus

 

[Holly76201]

Well, now that you've been legal for 3 days...how does it feel? LOL
Glad you got some good ideas and hope Jon isn't scared off by all us "Gun Nuts"

I would love to carry the glock, but it's hard to conceal.

In Israel, if you're lucky enough to get a gun license, you usually carry openly.

Glocks are usually carried in the most obvious fashion possible - they're a fashion statement.

which shows how bad a fashion sense the israelis really have.
