New Gun!

[Triggar]

So, you all know about the problems I was having with the Walther PPK/S.

I didn't feel comfortable concealing it (going for the course tomorrow with Martyr), so we started shopping for a new weapon for me.

I walked into the gun store tonight thinking I was going to leave with a Sig 232. After talking things over with the ex-military Airborne guy, and playing with the Sig to mimic a real-life situation where I'd have to use the gun in a hurry, we decided to explore other options. Mainly because the Sig is, to say the least, very I'll say complicated. Mag release is a catch on the bottom of the gun - small things that'd make it cumbersome in an emergency situation.

Anyway, he recommended a Taurus something-or-other and - get this - a Walther P99. I hated the Taurus immediately and put it down. Now, the Walther P99 - that was a great idea. It's a simple gun that I'm really quite familiar with (if you'd forgotten, it's what John [a.k.a. Martyr] carries). However, I have tiny hands, and if my goal is to have something I'm comfortable concealing, the standard P99 wouldn't do.

So I bought the compact.

Ta-dah!!

I will upload "real" pictures of me with the gun and the two P99's together :)

[Biohazzard56]

Thats a cool slide.

[Squeeky]

HAHA MINI POW POW!

Phat gat yo. First thing i'm doing when i'm 21. Taking a few safety courses and firearm familiarity courses, and adding something new to my nightstand.

[JetRaiden]

sweet, you could fit that in your wallet. Get the "Mini" logo engraved on it. That would be way leet.

[MattxMosh]

Hawt.

I'm jealous.

[Biohazzard56]

Good choice in not choosing the Taurus, I cant stand them.

[DaShiznit]

Good choice. IMO, Walther's the second best Limey gun-maker (Next to Enfield). And nice decision on not getting the Sig 232, that thing is UGLY.

[Biohazzard56]

Yea, thats cooler than the Sig 232.

If it was me id get a 1911, but you dont need that kind of pistol, I think the Walther's was a good choice for you.

[Rbstr]

i jsut did a google for smallest pistol and came up with this http://www.kahr.com/review_ahg_1001.html

they's some wee weapons thar matey

[Biohazzard56]

Thats way too small, I cannot stand ultra compact "pocket" pistols. They have no range, I know thats what they were designed for but get something that looks like its serious.

[AztecWarrior]

Good choice in not choosing the Taurus, I cant stand them.
Is it just me, or does everyone hate guns made in Miami?

Taurus, Intratec, etc.

[Biohazzard56]

Is it just me, or does everyone hate guns made in Miami?

Taurus, Intratec, etc.

They all look generic, nothing about Taurus pistols says James Bond at all.

[Triggar]

It isn't so much how they look, it's that they're bulky, cumbersome, and I don't know enough about the brand to trust it.

Oh, and Walther's aren't Limey. They're German, and sort of Smith and Wesson.

[AztecWarrior]

I can see how nobody likes the TEC-9 (except the gun control freaks, I still don't get them), but why hate Taurus?

They have THE RAGING BULL!!!

[Triggar]

it's that they're bulky, cumbersome, and I don't know enough about the brand to trust it.

:p

[Fragmatic]

THE PINK NAILS OF DESTRUCTION WILL DESTROY BECKENHAM TRAIN STATION!

Seriously man, we're doomed.

[Triggar]

THey match my obnoxiously pink sweater, the one that is the background for the Twin Walther picture :p

I have a matching purse and shoes, in case I ever wanted to take over the world with Obnoxious Color

[AztecWarrior]

:p
But it's THE RAGING BULL!

It's bulky.
It's cumbersome.
It's like driving a beer can through your target at blazing velocities.

[Squeeky]

Your hands are too fat too use a compact pistol, fatty. :love:

[MrPaul]

Time fo' some dual wieldin' action, yo.

[Sputty]

You two have a real love of pointing loaded guns at cameramen, don't you?

[TotalBiscuit]

Good job, now you can keep the King of England out of your house.

TB.

[Squeeky]

You two have a real love of pointing loaded guns at cameramen, don't you?

Camera's

You know Camera's have this awesome new feature called a timer. Safety on, finger off the trigger. If for some reason the gun discharges, all you got is a toasted camera.

[Everay]

that and it looks like theres no ammo in the lil ol pistol there, cute triggar, its a real cute gun.

[Peacemaker]

/me is jealous.

Maybe its time to get my self a gun too. A pistol that is. I already have lots of guns.

[Mag-Mower]

why do you need a gun? protect yourself from the boogie man?

[ObnoxiousFrog]

why do you need a gun? protect yourself from the boogie man?

Shiny.

[AztecWarrior]

why do you need a gun? protect yourself from the boogie man?
The same reason you need a computer: you don't, you just want one.

[Rbstr]

psh, i need to start buying them at 21 becasue i want to arm my henchmen at age 30 before I control a large multinational evil conglomerate, that comes at age 32, by means of said henchmen.

[Triggar]

I fired the new weapon tonight at my Conceal/Carry class. Like a dream, it was.

[martyr]

^needs a holster.
can anyone find an IWB for her? i'm having trouble

[oddfish]

i want a Glock G18C so i can go full-auto on somebody. :nod: conceal THIS muhfucka!!!

sorry.. i'm done now.

anyways, nice choice. walthers are 1337pods. extremely reliable.
what cartridges are walthers chambered for? do they have a good range of cartridge sizes? like, 9mm x 19 all the way to .45 ACP?

[martyr]

the p99 comes in 9x19 and .40s&w

[oddfish]

the p99 comes in 9x19 and .40s&w
i figured as much. .40S&W is EVERYWHERE.. such a good cartridge. :nod:

[Triggar]

I like the 9mm because now John and I can share ammo :)

Awwwwwwwwwwww

[Rbstr]

how cute!

[Hamma]
