Sacramento Roll Call - Check in Here!

[duldej]

i like to keep track of this sort of thing so it was miraculous when i discovered out of the blue a dros from the first and last time that i purchased/tried to purchase a berretta tomcat in september of 2009.
it appears i passed the safe handling demonstration.
i didn't know it at the time but i was a fugitive from justice so i couldn't take delivery on the gun.

Pardner, you should be asking these questions in the 2nd amendment forum, you'll get better, faster answers there.

^^^ This ^^^

I was going to address this.

Anyone who has 2nd Amendment, Marketplace, OT related stuff, please post in the appropriate forum. We need to keep this on topic-checking in, location, etc. It will help keep things flowing smoothly. PLUS, if you post non related things here, you're not likely to get much, if any response.

Thanks so much everyone!

love to shoot 1911 pistols on a regular basis.

I could use some coaching because I am shooting all over the place with my GI 1911.

Hello I live in Sacramento and I would love to educate people that firearms are not dangerous and that we need to protect our Second Amendment Rights.

Rio for me.

One of the guys at Cordova, Mike, used to work with me at Outback Steakhouse. Good guy.

[BNuge]

Yeah Mike is a cool guy. Hit him up when you come shooting out there, I'm sure he'd hook it up.

Ruger MkII or MkIII is excellent. Walther P22 is great if you want a tactical-looking one. I've got both, but I prefer the Walther because the mag release is easier (the Ruger drops mags like a P-38 or a Luger), and the grip is closer to 90 degrees, as opposed to the swept grip of the Ruger. I always find myself pointing the Ruger too high on initial draw-down, but the Walther feels like my USP or M1911A1.

[duldej]

thanks alot, savageno4. that's exactly what i wanted to ask, and those brands, too, in particular.

No problem. If you haven't bought one by late June, you're welcome to shoot mine. I'll be out of the country for the next month, though. The thing that sucks about the P22 is that you have to get a P22CA - which means no barrel changing because, oh heaven forbid, they make a threaded barrel for it. I liked the idea of changing from a 3" to a 5" and back, but I just went with the 5" since I can't change them.

If I haven't checked in already, mark me down as present and accounted for.

Hi all.
This will be my first post as a calguns member. I am new to the area, moved here from SLC in Feb and am realizing how I took my former states gun laws for granted. I am happy to be here but am appalled at the attitude toward the 2nd in the politico.

anyway.. My name is Michael, I live in Folsom, I am an engineering student at Sierra College / SAC State, I am an award winning BBQ amateur and I love my guns almost as much as I love my wife and I love my wife a lot.

Glad to be aboard

I work in the Defense industry and travel just enough to keep it interesting.

[TNP'R]

hey im in north highlands, orginally from tennessee and im kinda in shock at the crazy gun laws there is here, i just want to let you all know that i support the nra, and calguns efforts in getting these laws reversed.

no matter how many laws they put in place the criminals will always get guns, the lawmakers dont understand that, they are taking the guns away from law abiding responsible citizens not the criminals.

what are we suppose to do as law abiding citizens? let the criminals carry the "evil" weapons while we get cut down? the lawmakers make no sense at all.
