Gun owners unite -Part II

[knight0334]

This last weekend I went down to my favorite gunshop to pickup another NEF/H&R Handi-Rifle for a project. ...but I got there I saw that they had a Ruger single action 32 H&R mag for sale. So, I molested the nice little revolver for awhile until saw what I've been wanting for all my life. A hammered side-by-side 12ga shotgun.

Needless to say, a new Handi didn't come home with me. I'm the proud parent to a Liberty II 24" 12ga IC/M choked scatterblaster. For being an import gun on the cheap side ($429+tax/etc) it is really really nice! The wood is beautiful, with a very tight wood-to-metal fit. The Turkish walnut has some sweet grain and marbling, somewhat resembling a fine English double shotgun/rifle. The action on this shotty is darn tight too. Nice case hardened finish as well.

This shotgun will play a few parts for me, a dove, rabbit, squirrel, and grouse blaster. ...and a formitable home defense cannon.

Here's basically what it looks like, except the case coloring is more prominate. I'll post actual pics of it once I get back home from my out-of-town job.

My little pocket companion

and my carry rig before I got a double mag pouch


I know I need a lot more, but that will all come in due time

nvr heard of champion brand... is that along the lines of Hi-point?

[knight0334]

Cant go wrong with Glock, or a 1911 'n Keltec combo..

[Shrew]

Its a Springfield Armory, the model is the Champion. Because its a 4" barrel instead of the original 5" its not technicaly a 1911(A1). PW9142LP is the model number to be specific and I am insulted that you would relate it to a Hi-Point. Rock Island Armory, Charles Daly, Armscor, are closer to a Hi-Point, though RIA is proving to be a ver reliable platform from what I have seen.


And thanks Knight, I remember from the old thread that you have quite the nice collection.

[Mathster]

most companies put their name on the side of the gun, not just their model name.

Here is the other side of the slide, also for a size comparison... It was a picture I had already taken so thats why I am using this one, I dont have a Digicam anymore so whatever I have is what I will have to use dispite the poor focus.

Time to snap some new pics. Carry pieces are a 3rd gen G19, USP 45F (winter mostly), Kimber Pro Carry II (older internal extractor, alloy framed, model).
