You bought a 1911 for under $500?

I love my RIA 1911. Mines .45 though. I have had nothing go wrong shooting it, well over 2000k rounds.

Guns are great.

They are the last bulwark against tyranny, and protect you when exposed. Remember: Train, Train, Train!

And ALWAYS keep in mind the rules of gun safety.

Making guns is super awesome.

I have not bought a gun in 30+ years.

I make my own designs.

I have not named them beyond "design 1", "design 2", etc.

Congratulations, the reality when discovering new stuff can be intoxicating. Please take it slowly. Spending time at a range, is important. Ballistics is simple, hold out a ball and drop it, if you fire a bullet flat they should both hit the ground at the same time. Bullets have more energy so they travel farther and faster in the process. Economics is simple, don't spend money you don't have, and no matter how many guns you have, the one closest to your hand is the one you need in a critical situation.

Glad to hear you left NJ. Hope you can build a nice collection, some can hold their value, some are just fads, but some really good ones were only made for a few years and seem to be more difficult to come by. The worst purchase I ever made was a 1995 mini-14, but just turned a new barrel for it, and got a nice gun out of it.

Wish you had headed south instead of west. I help the local sheriffs department by buying a $20 permit each year, that I don't even have to have in my state. (The locals are cool here) The department spends a lot of time and money patroling the county. They wouldn't ask you for more than to fill out a questionnaire for their own check on you. Yes, there is still an FBI check if I buy a gun, usually takes 10 minutes. But like thelma, we can make stuff that doesn't need paperwork unless you sell it. I like to make stuff, test it, then use it for parts. It's not that I don't trust the stuff I make, it's just a fun hobbie/challange. Want a gun that looks like a pack of smokes, make it, test it, funs gone, dream up something else.

Please be careful. You can fall into the trapping of greed with guns just like guys do with cars etc. Make sure you don't spend all you have on guns, always searching for that "perfect gun" because it doesn't really exist but you will always be chasing it... cheers

Going to a gun show on Sunday. Hoping to pick up either an AR, a hand gun for CCW, or if nothing else a cheap shotgun for home defense. Already saw a mossberg advertised there for 475$.

That isn't cheap for a shotgun.

I agree that it is not super cheap for a shotty in general but for this one in particular it is a decent deal. Below is a link to the mossberg website where the gun is listed at 585, and that is for a bare bones stock version. The one that my friend sent me that was advertised also comes with all new furnishings and a carrying bag, I also believe is comes with some type of site. Whether that be some flips ups or a scope idk but I would assume flip ups or something similar. I would say all things considered that's a decent price. Also that is the regular advertised price (in store) by this gun store that is going to be having a booth there. So I am assuming I will be able to haggle them down some also.

You can buy 30 and greater round mags at most gun shows and at a few stores here and there. It's only illegal to take possession of them in Colorado, not own them.

Welcome. I try to limit myself to one a year. I may have an addiction.
