Most of my stuff is either common or fairly inexpensive but I'll play along because I like this thread.

S&W M&P Shield- Awesome everyday carry
S&W SD9VE- Trigger was awful out of the box, might be a MA compliant thing. Just put an Apex trigger and spring kit in, feels great. Haven't fired it since the modification.

Hi Point 4595- Limited in MA what we can buy. This was cheap and it's fun to shoot. Seems reliable and accurate so far.
S&W M&P 15-22- I wanted the straight up M&P 15 but the laws changed the week I was purchasing with no notice. This is a lot of fun to shoot. I bought a new sight for it, can't wait to try it.

Remington 742 Woodsmaster 30-06 Rifle
Remington 1100 Semi Auto Shotgun
Both of these were inherited hunting weapons. I haven't fired them yet. I bought all the cleaning tools and a blueing kit. Not sure how far I will go with the restore. I'm not much of a hunter.

In the market for a simple .22 rifle to teach the kids on. I promised them a rifle when they turn 10 next year. Looking at a compact revolver, maybe the S&W Bodyguard or 742. I was thinking about a more home defense shotgun, Mossberg 500 18.5. And possibly a .22 pistol for fun. This is just as bad as pinball machines and guitars....

Quoted from Taxman:

Almost every collection has a Ruger 10/22 rifle. Cheap, reliable, accurate.
Another train of thought with training kids is bolt action. Make them think about each bullet they shoot and load into the chamber. Also less chance of getting excited and turning finger still on the trigger and having an accident than with a semi.

Quoted from Fulltilt:

Hard to beat a nice Ruger 10/22 for the money. Easy to customize into a great .22 target rifle.

I was thinking bolt action, but I'll look into the 10/22. Or buy both. Ha!

Quoted from tilt-master:

Can be found for 1.30 / round, Hornady appears to be the best BANG for buck lol
It’s the only ammo my range buddies buy for themselves to use for a firearm that’s not even theirs, lol.

Save the brass! I'm close to pulling the trigger on a reloading station.

Quoted from PoBoyPinball:

Has anyone tried one of these kits in your AR? Looks like you can shot 22LR without changing your barrel. Just wondering if anyone has tried one of these and if so in an AR pistol? Any feedback if you have. Thanks

Interested to hear some feedback on this. Currently only belong to an indoor range and can't fire my AR. This would be a nice solution. Probably illegal in MA...

I'm in the market for a 1911. I haven't been shooting much at all lately. Definitely no more than a hobbyist, and probably 3rd or 4th on the list of hobbies. I want one for no reason other than I kinda want one. Hopefully a new handgun will get me out to the range and back into it. I really like the looks of this one.

It's more money than I want to spend, it's about $1,400 at the local gun shop. Is there a lower cost option you could recommend to scratch the 1911 itch? I was planning on going .45, I don't own any other .45 hand guns. Do I just splurge and get the one that initially caught my eye? I've already mostly made my mind up, just looking for some feedback.

Quoted from boscokid:

NICS background check is so annoying. Went to pickup my Glock43 yesterday and got a 'Delayed' response. Whatever; I mean if I was gonna shoot somebody wouldn't I just use one of the guns I already have??
Store calls today and says they got the 'Proceed'. Great, so I can go back tomorrow and pick it up but damn, two trips within 24 hours when the actual check really didn't prove or disprove anything.
Semi-related. Anybody have experience with Maggut +2 which essentially changes the magazine spring and bottom plate to allow 2 extra rounds inside the OEM mag tube? Thinking going from 6+1 to 8+1 and only adding 1/4" probably worth it

At least you can buy a Glock!
