I'll be in Houston in December for a couple days (cousin's wedding). I'm sure I could peel away for an hour or so to hit a range and rent a 45. Maybe I can try 357 sig, which is one of the few "common" calibers I haven't tried ;)

I've fired a .22 bolt action rifle, 3 9mm handguns(my P99, friend's SR9 and some random 9 at a friend's ranch), a 30.06 and a 12 ga. Fired buckshot and slugs from the shotgun. Shot up pecan trees in a pecan orchard.

If I had more money, I'd go shooting more often. I have a friend that owns a pecan orchard and he lets us go over there whenever we want. Trying to save up some money so I can go next Friday.

COLT

As in 45 "long" Colt. Great for a pistol/rifle combo, expecially if you have a long gun that will take 45 colt or 410 shotgun.


At JackHouse, stick with it and you'll end up with a laundry list that you've fired.

I have a .500 S&W casing... and I surely remember that... and the generous gentleman who let me shoot it... it's like 2$ per round!

I remember the first (and 2nd through 20th) round of .50AE that I fired in a Desert Eagle!! The box of 50 .44's mags that went through it are just a mild memory...associated with that first 50AE. As a Marine I was sure I could handle the weapon but for safety I put 1 round in the mag, chambered it, and fired it one handed...MISTAKE. Litterally, I was backing up and hte firearm was twisted almost 90 degrees in my hand!!! The 500 S&W I later fired was NOTHING compared to that first round of 50 with the Eagle.

On a return trip from Canada I was stopped and asked the question "do you have any firearms or weapons?" My reply "what do you need?" One hour later they found several loose .45 ACp rounds, some 9mm rounds, a partial box of .22 and my missing LEO mag light.

Those guys are very thorough and very serious about their work....
