Happy B.A.G. Day, Everybody!
Posted by: Emperor Misha I in Life in the Empire, Public Announcements, Shooting4:10 PM
Yes, it IS that most joyous day, the day when all good people rush to their local Gun Pusher™ and purchase a new weapon for their collection, the most glorious B.A.G. (Buy A Gun) day that sends shivers down the spines of Gun Fearing Wussies and traitors to the Constitution like Diane Feinschwein, Sarah “Cupid Stunt” Brady et al.
And we’re proud to announce that His Maritime Fearsomeness, the Imperial Chief of Naval Ops has a new addition to the family. (Serious drool alert in effect).
Of course, being the prescient Emperor that we are, we already got ours, Lyudmila, since we knew that the Dem Cong couldn’t get their hands on the levers of power without trying to violate and betray the Constitution (witness HB 1022 for the evidence that we were, as always, absolutely right), so we had to speed up our purchase a bit, lest we be caught in need of watering the tree of liberty with no watering can handy.
(Thankfully, I think we can all agree, that need has yet to arise, and if our prayers to Almighty G-d in Heaven are heard, it never will arise, but at least we won’t be caught flat-footed up Tyranny Creek without a proper paddle if it does).
So now you’ve seen the Chief of Imperial Naval Ops’ B.A.G. day purchase, you’ve seen ours as well:
…so what’s your contribution to the protection of civil rights this year?
Remember (and we’re quoting/paraphrasing a brilliant young son of one of the Imperial Firearms Advisor’s readers here):
We own, maintain and train with guns to:
1) Defend ourselves, our loved ones and our property
2) Hunt for food if need be and…
3) To keep government nervous and honest.
The only legitimate government is a government that fears the people it governs.

Now you’re talking Sarge, I bought one last year and I love it…haven’t had much shooting time lately what with school (both teaching and attending) but that will change in another month.
I found an equally sweet M1A1 carbine last week, at the same place where I bought my Garand…it would make the perfect compliment to the M1 but I don’t have the funds right now, even with the tax refund coming in. We need to upgrade a couple of business computers and printers around here first, then if there’s anything left…that carbine is mine.

These are all indisputably good reasons for gun ownership. According to the brilliant (just ask him) young son of one of the Emperor’s readers, another damn good reason to own a firearm is to occasionally buoy one’s spirits by blowing up a propane cannister with a .50 caliber armor piercing incendiary round.

M got a new toy just last week. His new XD-45.
We bought the Bersa Thunder .380 a month ago. We’ll be sharing it as a carry weapon.
M got his CC permit last week…mine should be arriving this week…WOOHOOOO! :undecided_tb:
Then we got the Remington 870 Shotgun.
Of course there’s my Baby, my XD-9.
And since M got the last addition, the next one is mine and we’ve picked out a Kahr 9mm. Since my XD is too bulky to carry in my holster purse I decided that I wanted something smaller so that we don’t have to fight over the Bersa during the summer when M has to wear lighter clothing, making concealment a bit harder.

I’m not able to make a BAG-day purchase with my tax return; I spent it on a good gun safe instead…
As for a new toy to put inside it, I’m waiting on the local sheriff’s department to finish processing my handgun purchase permit (open permit; good for thirty days). Hey, it’s easier to get the permit first and then buy the gun, right?…
I’m looking for a new or lightly-used Ruger GP-100 .357 with either a four or six-inch barrel. Right now gun prices in my neck of the woods are pretty high and some of the local gunshops have a rather picked-over selection of handguns. So I’ll be shopping for a couple more weeks. Hopefully they’ll be restocked by the end of the month, when I get to celebrate…if that’s the word…my fortieth birthday. Yay.
The guys at RugerForum.com are claiming that Ruger is now shipping the regular New Model Blackhawks with the same XR-3-sized gripframe as the New Vaquero and 50th Anniversary models. If that’s true, and I can’t find a reasonably priced GP…well, one of those or a 50th Anniversary Flattop in .357 would do nicely, too.

LC Wes, unless you’re set on a wheel gun, might I suggest a Ruger P90 .45ACP semi auto???
I’ve got close to a thousand rounds thru mine (it’s identical to the one in my avatar) in a torture test where I have shot the shit outta it with Winchester White Box and not cleaned it, without a single failure of any kind.
Half an inch shorter and the same weight as a GI 1911, 7 in the mag, one in the chamber, stainless and alloy, impervious to sweat, sets in an IWB holster like a charm (but I’m a big framed, thick fucker). I call it my Visa card, I don’t leave the ROOM without it…
It’s just a suggestion as an alternative to the GP 100 should you run across a good deal on a P90, I think you wouldn’t be disappointed …

This year’s BAG day saw two additions to the armory, thanks to the generosity of the Big 5 sales department: a robust M24/47 Yugoslav Mauser with deep, black rifling, and a Mossberg 100 ATR Marinecote Synthetic Package in 30.06 with a 3-9×40 factory scope.

I actually have seriously considered buying a P-90, and shot a couple of them. I’ve never heard any complaints about their accuracy and reliability; from all I’ve heard they’ll more than hold their own with Kimbers and Sig 220s (which cost much more). Not much recoil, either, compared to other .45s. The only problem is that the P-90 is simply too big for me; I basically have to use my free hand to work the safety or slide release (unlike my Beretta 92SB Compact in 9mm, where all the controls are within easy reach of my thumb without having to change my grip on the gun or use two hands).
Now that they’ve gotten the bugs worked out of them, I may take a look at the new Ruger P-345s, which fit my hand much better than the P-90 and -97 series guns. I’ve also toyed with the idea of getting one of the German police trade-in Sig-Sauer P-225s that just came into the country. Yes, I know, it’s only a 9mm, but that Sig just feels so good in my hand…
Still, I think for my next purchase I’d like a .357 revolver, preferably a double-action. Besides the aforementioned Beretta my only other handgun is a .22 Ruger Single-Six, and a good .357 would fill one of several holes in my modest gun collection. The GP-100, in terms of ruggedness, reliability and price, seems to be the best value out there, and from what I’ve seen, the trigger feel on the GPs are just as good as on the new Smith and Wessons.
Although if I can find a good Smith M-66 or a stainless Ruger Security-Six at a reasonable price…

Well, my BAG day purchase was a Bushmaster AR-15 with a heavy, stainless barrel. It was from during the “ban” so it had only a 10-rd mag but I got a 30rd Bushmaster mag right away. Unfortunately my Cheaper than Dirt purchase of more mags will have to wait.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:52 AMSaturday I went with a friend to my favorite gun store, Virginia Arms in Manassas, VA, as he was picking up his S&W 629 to complete his .357mag/.44mag/.500 S&W mag combo.
They had a Mosin 91 sniper rifle with deluxe, commie sniper scope. It was made in 1944 and appears to have spent the last 60 years in cosmoline. The reason I say that is because my evil buddy scarfed it up before I could so much as say, “I’ll take it”, but they ordered me another one. I figure it’s like a Mitchell’s Mausers deal with former commie countries selling their obsolete arsenals from WWII that they’ve kept around. He had to clean a whole lot of cosmolene out of it, including in the sling-slots in the wood.
It’s very nice. With ugly, pig-sticker bayonet it’s nearly 6 feet tall. It has a canvase sling, a canvas scope cover and rubberized canvas bandoliers and the aforementioned bayonet. The bayonet isn’t a knife, it has a screwdriver head and is just a long sticker.
The serial numbers match and it’s in good condition. For only $395 I couldn’t resist. I had wanted a Mosin and this one is just nice.
So I have 2 BAG day purchases this year.
Just to celebrate the Dem Cong.

Get your own house, make your own rules.
Until then, Mom’s rules prevail!
But if ya really love bangin’, you’ll find a way.
Back when the news was ALL black and white, I knew an old WW I Veteran that would let me mow his yard, then instead of giving me cash, we’d go buy a couple boxes of .22’s, and head out to the pasture.
Maybe you can find someone (your folks should be ok with ‘em too) that likes that kind of stuff, and has time for you.
Owning the gun ain’t no requirement, knowing the gun and developing the skills most certainly is.
Most ranges have “loaner guns” so’s you can practice on any piece that you fancy, get to know all about it long before you by it.
‘Good way to find what you can most efficiently use, as opposed to what you think you want.
Ya gotta want it bad LittleRott84, but it looks like you’d better respect your Mom’s wishes about having a gun in her house until you’ve got your own crib secured.

She wasn’t a poli’ when she was being served, but having to see her family blasted right in front of you can sure be inspiring.

It was a watershed murder, like this one in Virginia.
