...is a 1911 Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special, hard chromed...with newly acquired Carbon Creations grips as an xmas gift!

Ready for carry:

so fellow blu-ray.com members, what do you guys have?

Blu-Benny · 01-02-2009, 06:52 PM

that's awesome!!! i have my brother in law a few houses down. he collects guns and has more than enough if i ever needed on.

mikejet · 01-02-2009, 07:00 PM

Those are some scary looking hollowpoints. That's some stopping power!

clyon · 01-02-2009, 07:00 PM

those look like hollow tips??

I have a lock on my HT room door

I have a little .22 rifle by my front door & 2 .22 hand guns in a closet

darwin316 · 01-02-2009, 07:04 PM

yeah...those are Federal Hydra Shocks hollowpoints in .45 ACP of course

So far, this is the only gun I have... but I am starting to get back into range shooting so I might get me a gun that shoots cheaper ammo, like 9mm.

But I do feel sad for whoever tries to break into my brother's house... he has a tactical shotgun, a customized AR-15, a sniper rifle, 3 1911s and a glock.

MoPe · 01-02-2009, 07:10 PM

I'll have me a little bit of the middle one please.

Which is placed in one of these..

i'm not gonna pretend to know what he has, but my brother in law, from what i've seen, has 2 Desert Eagle .45's, a mini eagle (don't remember the caliber), a 3rd eagle for his wife, and about 10-15 more cases sitting on his cabinets in their basement that i didn't get to see.

he also has several rifles and 1 or 2 guns he broke down and sent home from Iraq when he was over there on active duty.

darwin316 · 01-02-2009, 07:14 PM

hahahaha.... just make sure you have a couple of intruders lined up so you can take em out with one shot

That's crazy... I thought my brother was crazy. He probably has more invested in his gun collection than I do in my home theater... and he's b!tching that he cant afford one? nuts...

Yeah.

I don't actually own one, but would like to, if I bought a gun.

I've seen some videos on YouTube, of people firing it, and knocking most back a few feet, except the ones who fire regularly. I also read with the highest grain .50 bullet, has almost the same amount of energy as a 12 gauge shotgun.

The smallest gun frame with the 4" barrel weights 4lbs. So I doubt you'd be carrying this bad boy on you.

yeah, he's into guns like guys are into blu on here. buys, sells, trades just like we do w/bluray. he's leaving for his 2nd tour in iraq in a week, he's hoping to get as much stuff this time around as he did last time.

I do have a couple of pistols in my nightstand..... but I never take them out and drool over them or anything.

darwin316 · 01-02-2009, 07:37 PM

haha... yeah, my shar-pei is still my first alert. He barks at anything that makes sounds during the night... which unfortunately leads to a lot of false alarms. But it's still easy enough to do a short sweep of the house with the gun and flashlight that i never ignore the pei alert.

I do have a sportbike in the garage as well so i'm really, really paranoid when the dog barks.

plowmanjoe · 01-02-2009, 07:47 PM

i lock my door and have miniature schnauzer alerts. the criminal type are really scared of dogs.

tommyboy81 · 01-02-2009, 07:48 PM

Nice. How much did it set you back?

STARSCREAM · 01-02-2009, 07:53 PM

That is one awesome looking gun.

I bought it back in 2001 for ~$1600. I think new is about $2K now. It's a fully custom gun, everything is hand fitted. Never had any problems with it either.

and thanks everyone!

I have, from my historical memorabilia collections, a Luger P08 pistol from the second world war - doesn't work, however.

But for HT protection, I do have a pair of genetically trained and modified velociraptors.
