impulse buys

[reaper209]

Well I was out the other day bored so I stopped by a couple gunshops and ended up buying a little hp22. So today when I picked it up I happened to see a couple ria 1911s in the case and had to hold one a 1911 tactical. So guess what happened. Of course now I'm $550 lighter and have another new gun to pickup in 30 days. I really think I need to stop going by gun stores when I'm bored. It used to be harley shops but ended up spending way too much money and switched to window shopping at gun stores and now that's getting expensive to. So now I'm trying to find out what everyone else does when bored to keep from spending money.
And before everyone says pics. I will post a couple of the hp22 when I get home to my computer and not posting from my tablet while sitting waiting for my other half to get out of the nail salon.

Go shooting instead That's if you have a range near by.

I'm a member of a sportsman club that gives me range access anytime I want so I pretty much keep my guns in the truck of my car and go every day on my lunch break since its only 10 minutes from where I work. In a normal week I go through about 600 rds of 22 and 300 rds of 9mm. So even shooting is getting expensive luckily reloads for 9 are not to bad but when the new 1911 gets added to the mix its going to go up.

Dont feel bad, I have 3 pistols on layaway at Turners and need to time to pay off so I can pick one up every 32 days

I went to the gun shop to pick up shells for my shotgun.

I ended up with the shells and a 10 day wait on my M&P 15/22.

Make sure that you feed the HP22a ONLY STANDARD VELOCITY AMMO. From my personal experience, I killed my last HP22a by using high/hyper velocity ammo. After about 3,000 rounds the frame started cracking at the top of the magazine well! Lucky for me, Phoenix replaced it for free. The replacement is working just fine right now that I am using standard velocity CCI ammo. I've shot over 4,000 of the SV CCI ammo with no problems. Not one FTF, FTE, or jams of any sort! To boot, it is accurate as heck. I love this gun.

well i talked my girlfriend into hitting the range after her nail appt. and got a chance to try out the new toy.well after 500 rounds of cci blazer and 555 wwb i have to say i like this new gun. its accurate seems to feed almost anything and its an all around nice little pocket pistol. there were a couple things i didnt like but they were easily fixxed with just a screwdriver and a file. i hated the safety must be on to drop or load a mag and that a mag had to be in to change the safety position. but of course i knew those before i hit the range and knew what id need to bring with me. the lack of a last round hold open is annoying sometimes but not a big deal to me. I especially like the firing pin safety i had a good time making my girlfriend think the gun didnt like her by flipping it on when she would go to shoot and then taking it off when she'd hand me the gun saying it was busted. that lasted for almost an hour.
Well out of all the rounds i fired from this gun i only had 3 problems 1 ftf 1fte and 1 failure to return to battery and those were all in the first 100 rounds.
ok ok now the moment you guys have been waiting for more gun porn

You have been reading the wrong books and listening to the wrong people. No such thing as an "impulse buy" when it comes to firearms.

[reaper209]

Izzy you might be right but I'm not sure. Me and my girlfriend were at big 5 today stocking up on ammo and she saw a savage 22 rifle with a scope that she liked. So as happens I went to the store to get ammo and ended up buying her a new rifle also. Well at least now I don't have to worry about a birthday present since I'd forgotten her birthday is the day we pick it up.
I have decided no more gun stores for 3 months except for picking up what I've already paid for and I'm leaving all cash checks and cards at home when I do that.

Heh. My weakness is trawling the Private Firearms Sales forum here at Calguns. In the past two years, I think I've bought, traded for, or sold upwards of 45 guns. My thing is that I just love new things and the anticipation of getting them. It really is like Christmas when I get a new gun home and get to play with it.

What I do to try to keep from spending money is to clean/tinker with the guns I already have. As evidenced by what I've spent on guns, that's only partially successful.

^brother from another mother!!!! I could have typed the same thing except for gun count and length of addiction (I just got into guns 6 months ago).

Spend your boredom time in a bar, that way you'll only come home with a Buzz and in the morning the only regret you will have is the hangover.
