Sounds good TC.  And at your age, they'll prolly just grant you a lifetime hunting/fishing lic. anyway.  har.  spyder

Ain't quite there yet, Spydy...5 more years.

I think I said the same thing just before I bought the one after the "one more".

I think owning/buying guns is worse than "OCD"... once you start you just can't stop... then when you have them you start stock piling ammo... next thing you know you have a safe full/arsenal. I'm trying my best to stay away from long guns but have been tempted to get a shotgun.

Nothing is more effective than a shotgun, and a 20ga is really all you need....it won't take your shoulder off shooting it.  Mossberg makes a nice, inexpensive, tactical 20ga with an 18" barrel, composite stock.  Pump action of course.  I think it will hold 5+1 (might be 4+1, can't remember).  You can even get them with a pistol grip.  If you have time to grab it, nothing will get someone's attention like hearing you rack a load in a pump shotgun...unmistakable sound.  Kind of hard to carry though...   It will definitely stop whoever is trying to hurt you.  Blow those Zombies chit away...

With no experience in Zombies as adversaries, not sure if regular ammo will suffice or will special Zombie Rounds be req'd?   har.  spyder

I agree a shotgun is great, at home. Not to carry. BUT if you ever really need one, and hopefully you never will, but if you do, no time exists to be scaring someone with the sound of "racking" a shotgun, only sound should be safety going off so that already full chamber of "00" is ready to go.

For Christmas I got the Kimber Ultra CDP 45 in stainless steel/black with rosewood handles.  Beautiful pistol that is sweet to shoot  

Slide is stainless, the rest of the gun is Aluminum.  Got mine December 2008, I have just over 3000 rounds through it.  It was my Every Day Carry until I got the Les Baer Stinger this past May.  The are a very nice gun, lots of fun to shoot and still carry it some times.  It was my Favorite until I got the Brown and the Baer.  For the money it is hard to beat!

That is virtually the same (if not exactly the same) as the Sig 1911-22LR.  From what I've read, they both come out of the same plant.  I was strongly considering one of those, but the Colt (Walther) was a little bit less expensive and Academy had a good price on it.

I'm not sure if the Sig version was out yet, my local gun shop / range is a big sig dealer and they did not have one but did the GSG.  No Academy in my area yet.

I've got an old 12ga Double Barrel, but it's so heavy, it's impractical for use.

Nothing wrong with a heavy 12ga. for home defense.  Might even be an advantage.    spyder

Kel-tec KSG w/ Trijicon RX34 and Surefire M900V.     

[porthole]

Went to the range yesterday for some time with #1 son and grandson.
Had a deal I couldn't refuse. He wanted a compact 9 and I wanted a G-19. I bought him the KelTec PF-9 (his choice) and traded for his G-19, gen 3. He has department issued Gen4 -19's.
I can tell you I certainly got the better end of the deal, that KelTec PF-9 kicks like a mule!. And it is very uncomfortable to handle when firing (digs into the fingers/hand)

Anyway, I had a gear bag full of mixed 9mm that I was using and had a case failure. The Glock's are a little loose on the sides in that you can see daylight through the slide and grip. Not a defect, inherent in a poly/steel design.

Heat/ smoke/flames/and powder - ouch. Got a 1st degree burn along the top of my index finger and black soot marks across both hands.
Pulled the gun apart, no round in the barrel (that was good) and no damage. My son is a certified Glock armorer, so it was good to have him on hand. Looked at the rest of the rounds in the bag and didn't see anything unusual.

2-3 mags later and - bang - does it again. That's it, all the ammo gets dumped until I can inspect.

Turns out both failed cases are the same brand, marked "F C"
Of the 100 or so rounds I have left of that bunch half are Winchester, a 1/4 PMC and about a dozen of these "F C" rounds. At least I think I can get rid of the bad chit.
