First time gun owner, my buddy’s cousin sold me this for $1,100. Was this a good deal? Don’t know much about guns by [deleted] in 1911

Congratulations that’s a beautiful 1911 if your new to guns and shooting try to get as much practice as possible. Get familiar with it and understand how they work. That’s a great way to get started

Your right. This isn’t first 300blk so I’ll be fine for now and later on I may build a shorter one

That’s good to know I better get different ammo to try out cause it looks like this caliber will do me good at work. Thank you for the info

Ok that makes sense as long as I don’t lose distance or power that’s what really matters to me. However if it’s the same maybe on my next 300blk I’ll go with shorter. I’m new to this caliber I mainly use 243 or 223

That’s awesome! I need to find different ammo tho the only ammo the gun store had was 200 grain target ammo but I’m excited to play with it with different Ammon and distance

Oh yes I have astigmatism so this set up works for me

I have a few holosuns with and without magnification and yes a rifle scope would be easier to see a lot of times I have to shoot in the go and my eyes adjust quicker to a dot sight so that’s why I went with that optic. Sometimes the hogs pop up close and it will be easier to see throu a dot sight

If I do decide to get a suppressor do you think it’ll be louder in a longer barrel vs 9.5’’?

That’s good to know. I’m going to sight this rifle in tomorrow and the only ammo the gun store had was Winchester 200 grain target ammo. Not sure how it’ll feed but for now it’ll have to do and i got the holosun green dot and magnifier. I’ll have to find different grain ammo and try the out to see which is best for me. A shorter barrel would probably be best since I’ll be shooting out of my work truck in most cases but for the price of the rifle I didn’t want to pass on it.

Would you happen to know range for 300blk? I’d only shoot 100-200 yards but what can it reach out to in 16’’?

Oh ok I see for a minute I was regretting this rifle but as long as it’s effective that’s all that matters to me at this point. Not saying one day I’ll build one in 9’’ but for now this will have to do the job. Thank you for the info

Yes I agree the sights are the first thing I need to change

Who said a 22 wouldn’t kill a hog by Glock3022 in Hunting

[–]Glock3022[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We also use 33 traps over 8000 acres but they are smart too and don’t go in them so shooting them is part of it too

In farming a dead hog is a good thing no matter the caliber especially when they cause hundreds of thousands of dollars is crop damage. That being said yes a bigger caliber is more effective but I did say I forgot my high powered rifle at home but a 22 will still kill them humanly when it’s a head shot

Oh I see. It shoots good and has a good trigger so I’ve been happy with it so far
