Gun Porn - My Personal Protection Lineup - Photos

[Thunder71]

Felt the need to do something creative today so I set up a mini studio and fired away. Taken with a Nikon D7000, Nikon 50mm and Nissin Di866 on black poster board with a sheet of glass over it.

Nice, Thunder!

Nice guns Nice pics. The Kahrs look like they have one in the PIPE.

[MW surveyor]

Great clear sharp photos!

[Thunder71]

Thanks guys!

Yep, almost all of them are hot. Would be a greater risk unloading/reloading in my opinion.

Good eye. :)

Love'em all but for the Taurus. Do not like the manufacturer (bad personal experience with several of their products) and caliber.

[Thunder71]

I won't argue there, however I had the LCP and hated the gun - problems from box one, had to send it to Ruger and they did take care of it. If you read up on the .380 mouse guns none of them are 100% glowing reviews, I chose this one because it offered a slide lock on the last round and the price was right. It's my 'when nothing else fits the bill' gun, so I'm not worried about it - it's been 100% reliable so far and a .380 can do the job just fine.

Nice pics! Nice lineup! How is the trigger on the TCP compared to the PM9? The LCP?

[Thunder71]

Compared to LCP:
Smooth, ~5lb trigger pull all the way vs the increasingly stiff trigger pull of the LCP. The TCP trigger far exceeds the LCP in my opinion, plus it has last round slide lock back.

Compared to the Kahr:
Feels 'cheaper' but quite smooth, more 'plasticy' I guess? Trigger pull seems about the same weight, maybe a little less than the Kahr.

[scotty_MK9]

Nice MK9. Love those grips. They make the gun look a little classier IMO

Thanks, Thunder. That sounds very interesting. I had always skipped over the TCP, prefering the looks of the LCP over it's angular features. But my interest has been redirected. I want something in that size, have almost gone for the Ruger despite stories that it is unpleasant to shoot, looked at the MDE, would really like a P380 but won't go near one at over double the price.

[pitbull1022]

Sweet.

[1slinginlead2]

Sweet. I like that XDM compact. I have never seen one of those in a compact before now.
I carry a LCP pocket carry while i'm on the job,M&P 9c when i'm off work and a Glock G23 in the cooler months. The Glock is also my primary HD gun also. I use to have a loaded 870 for HD but i have a 3 year old in the house now so thats a no go.

[AIRret]

Great photos!!
How is the Walther as a plinker! Is it reliable? Will it feed any ammo?

[OldLincoln]

Great pics Thunder! Hey, if I sent you all my guns would you take pictures of them for me? Be a real favor if you would. Would ya, huh? huh?

[Thunder71]

Thanks!

I really like it, fun gun to shoot. I like shooting CCI Stingers through it, the box of bulk pack I had fired without a problem, all 500 or so rounds. Problem is I don't know what kind it was because I dumped it all into a Lock N Lock container and had it sitting around a while. I think it had a golden colored bullet, if that helps. Mine is the newer style with the different backstraps you can change how you like.

Remington Golden Bullets + Walther P22 = no problems

It's the ammo I always recommend to P22 owners.
