Ok gun owners: need some pricing help...

[Miamifan1354]

That's crazy, I'm getting my first handgun too. I went to targertmaster with my father in law yesterday, and I decided I was going to get an HK USP9 to keep in the house. I liked the .45 more, but my girlfriend can't shoot it as well, so we decided on the 9. Gonna shop around this week, and try to pick one up for next weekend to shoot.

Absolutely. If I can just get my gun, I will do my best to organize it.

I have a Taurus Tracker SS 7 shot .357/w 4" barrel that also shoots 38 specials.
Not as nice as a S&W but it shoots straight and cost almost 1/2 the price.
I'm not a pro shot but I can double-up head shots at 25 yards using a silhouette.
Here..
Adjustable sights.

Long story short, I'm sold on the .45 H&K USP Compact Tactical.

Next question is, can you hit the broad side of the barn with it?

My groupings with the H&K USP Compact that I rented were (in my opinion) pretty good at 25 feet. Didn't really try much beyond that. :beer:

 

[Blk03SVTCobra]

Ok gents, going to be purchasing the .45ACP H&K USP Compact Tactical from a local dealer here in Annapolis.

Now I just need some eye/ear protection.

For eye protection, I've selected the following (my Army Ranger buddy has these and I LOVE 'em):

Oakley M FRAME® STRIKE® SHOOTING SPECIFIC (w/ interchangeable lenses)

My only remaining question is, who makes decent ear protection? I want decent, comfortable over-the-ear ear protectors. Anyone have any suggestions??

 

[Redneckbmxer24]

those oakley m frames are the shit, thats what i use, and love them, i have the kind that came in a kit though with about 5 lenses. make sure you get a set of clear lenses, if you go into a indoor range, with the haze int here from gun fire, you dont want any darkening at all.

for ears, i only use peltor, ive had big problems with pro ear's, not to mantin theyre $150-300 for a pair.

http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=103666

those are what i use, and they're great, ive been using the set i have now for about 1.5 years, never a problem, been out in pooring down rain in tactical long range comps, out in nasty mud, never a problem, great noise reduction, great battery life, and great price, really cant go wrong.

 

[SPRAYED DAILY]

I dont wear hearing protection, I like to hear my shots. :burn:

 

[Redneckbmxer24]

good luck with that, a 22 is fine with no ears, but anything else is gonna hurt you.

Thanks for the link, Cory :beer:

What if I want a non-electronic set? In otherwords, just muffs, no electronic noise reduction? I will say right off the bat, I'd rather spend a little less than $83.

Anyone?

 

[Redneckbmxer24]

peltor aslo makes non electronic. but $83 is a small price tp pay for hearing protection, look at how much your going to spend on eyes.

The only problem is that whatever I buy, I have to buy 2 of (my wife will be shooting with me most of the time, and if not her then a buddy).

I suppose you're right though. If I spend $140 on the Oakley M Frames, then $83 on the ear protection doesn't seem utterly ridiculous.

I wear the same 15.00 pair for shooting and playing the drums...haha.. Excuse me>>> What did you say ????? Maybe I'll get some better ones soon. Those Oakley's are nice, but I can't justify that price. $25-35 can get a nice set of shooter glasses. Heck, I've worn a pair of Z-87 approved tinted safety glasses that look similar for 15 years. They were $15.00 back then.


Nice choice on the gun Sean. Remember, that gun show at Timonium fairgrounds is less than two weeks away. Feb. 8, 9 and 10th. You can do some real gun price haggling there, pick up ammo, your safety items along with a range bag. One stop shopping. It's a nice show. You owe it to yourself to go.

What's the benefit of electronic muffs vs non-electronic muffs?
