New here

nastruck · July-22-13 13:07

I read a lot of the CCW forums but my favorite forum is this one. Been reading here for a while and bought my first mini a couple of years ago, a 1 5/8" conv, now I own three of them. A short and a BW have been added. Next on my list is a LR with a 1 5/8" barrel. Coolest guns ever!!!!
I carry the mini with the mag cyl but bought the BW to replace it as my main carry. I have only gotten to shoot the BW once so far and it is shooting 6 to 8 in high. I need to do better before I trade places with them. I did put the Pug grip on the mini and the BW.
Going to try to up load a picture of my threesome (so far). They are hard little critters to get a good picture of thou to *** shiny....
The mini looks rough in the photo but they are all as new, trust me....

Ain't the "baby" just the cutest little thing?

Thanks for sharing.

Dinadan · July-22-13 19:07

Nastruck - welcome. Nice group of NAAs to start off with! I agree that stainless steel guns (or knives) are hard to photograph. I have spent a good deal of time trying to get good photos, and like you say, it is not easy!

Silentknight · July-22-13 19:07

Welcome friend.I just bought my third one Saturday....addictive!

nastruck · July-23-13 04:07

Yes I agree, you cannot own just one! The odd thing for me is, if I could only keep one it would be the short. I had never actually seen one before I bought mine but when it arrived and I opened the box it was love at first sight.
The only difference between a man and a boy is the size of his toys. Well, maybe that really doesn't work here.... LOL

Uncle_Lee · July-23-13 04:07

You have a beautiful start of a family, may it grow and grow.

No it's the same concept just need a crap load of them .

nastruck · July-25-13 04:07

Your right OV there are more in the future for me I hope. As I stated, I'm hoping for a LR next.
So, a question? Am I alone in my choice of the short if I could only own one NAA. To me it is the coolest gun on the market....

OV-1D · July-25-13 05:07

Well nastruck that short is just as deadly as a 45 acp if placed in the right spot only not as messy ..

TwoGunJayne · July-25-13 11:07

I heard about it first at the corner store.

Jackson, MS is widely regarded by state residents as an open sewer. I wonder if those stats include Pearl, MS... Pearl is worse. Anyway, it's like Jackson wants to compete with New Orleans and DC. The decent folks I knew who lived in the city of Jackson have all moved somewhere else in the past 20 years. It wasn't always that bad. They're way behind on murder, though. New Orleans can reach 10-20 times that murder rate.

The best solution I know for that place is similar to the Dresden fire storming in WW2.

I never go there. It's the worst place in the whole state.

OV-1D · July-25-13 12:07

It's a real shame since we all know of the simple solutions isn't it . I sometimes wonder if the Klan didn't have it right in the first place . Some issues should have been left alone back when . Not sure about your end but over here it's exactly opposite from those ideas it's like we keep this minority thing going just to employ the law enforcement departments . Shootings (with hits and killings) around here are literally a daily occurrence within 20 miles around the area it's insane and it's always the same types and neighborhoods , crazy . One would think they would run out of people at this rate or ammo .

TwoGunJayne · July-25-13 13:07

I'd love to be able to cure urban society problems. Unfortunately, once people get the idea to lay in the government hammock forever and make us pay for it... there isn't much we can do.

I've read of the projected change in demographics in the US... a prediction of a white minority. How much would you like to bet that once whites are a minority that only THEN will all of the "affirmative actions," "minority handouts," and other such types of reverse-discrimination will finally end?

Oh well. Not my problem. Statistically, I won't be here for that. In life, I spend a lot of my time walking down country lanes. By then, I'll be walking down God's country lanes.

OV-1D · July-25-13 13:07

We'll probably bump into each other up there even though I assuming allot . Ha

Oh and especially if unc has anything to say about it . OOPPS .

TwoGunJayne · July-25-13 14:07

I'll bring the beer.

Dinadan · July-25-13 14:07

I bet the thugs in Jackson are more polite than the thugs in New York!

OV-1D · July-25-13 15:07

The only difference between all these thugs is just a few pounds .

nastruck · July-26-13 12:07

OV you bring up a question I have always wonder about. If a 22 short can kill you will a 45 acp kill you more?

OV-1D · July-26-13 13:07

Heck no but the 45 will misplace more parts .

nastruck · July-26-13 13:07

Have to agree with that! LOL

Oh yes, the 45 makes things much "more deader." I'm still waiting on a caliber that affects their ancestors as well.
