Escafarc Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I wish I could get trigger time on any of these guns. Only gun I've ever handled was a .22 LR calibre target rifle and that was about 20 years ago. There's use to be a shooting range in Vegas (don't remember name off hand, it's been a number of years) that has a large selection of weapons that you can try out for a small fee.

DusterBoy Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Re: Cool Guns for your Games No shooting ranges in Oxford.

Remjin Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Out of curiosity' date=' who did the compensator mod on the Desert Eagle? On a side note, Magnum Research actually sells a 24k gold-plated version of those monsters. I guess they could use it if they ever remake "The Man with the Golden Gun" (although more specifically it'd be the man with the BigA** Golden Gun).[/quote'] No idea who did that. I can't even remember where I picked that picture up. Sorry. And I always thought the gold Desert Eagles were the titanium nitride coated ones...? No idea. Never handled one. I can't say I'd be a good candidate for the whole desert eagle thing. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remjin Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I wonder if this is a functional accessory? (linked for slight language) There are all sorts of handguns with scopes specifically made for them for their longer eye relief (distance your eye can be away from the scope and still see). As for the underslung grenade launcher... I suppose there could be some hardcase that could shoot that, but I would think weight would make it a problem unless that's just the flare gun attachment. The whole thing looks like a toy rather than a real gun, but for game purposes... I guess it would depend. For a more realistic game, I'd look at the player askance for the grenade launcher. The scope would be fine, though. For more "fun" games, I don't see why it wouldn't work with it. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand not wanting it, I certainly wouldn't, but its just one of those things from an era long past. No one does it to modern firearms except to replicate that old way of doing things... at least, as far as I know. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a very short barreled .357.... most of the ones I've seen have these handles that are massive... lol. K frames have always been a nice option, in my opinion. The size is right, the options are better, and s'long as you don't beat them to death with full house loads you should be fine. I like fuller grips versus the skinny grips, personally, but nothing too massive, s'long as they fill that gap behind the trigger. Those are faux ivory skinny grips, if I remember right, more like the old stock grips. They feel too small to me. A fuller, fingerless grip seems more appropriate, in a hardwood or whatever with a more matte surface or checkering in its stead. I don't like the overly glossy grips or the finger grooves. That's actually the pistol I suggested to my wife if she were to carry concealed... I like the contoured slab barrel, gold bead sight, and the performance center trigger job isn't bad either... like a decently broken in trigger of old.

I want a very short barreled .357.... most of the ones I've seen have these handles that are massive... lol. I used to own a S&W model 19 with a four-inch barrel and presentation grips. It was the pride-and-joy of my modern handguns, and it fit my hand very well. It looked something like this (I think the illustrated gun has a 7" barrel): I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remjin Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Model 19s were great. I'd love to have one now, in the age of integrated gun locks and stainless over blued. Always been a revolver fan, and the classics are just that. Can't quite get myself to take the plunge into the single-action yet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Re: Addendum: Thanks guys. I don't mind having a handle that I can fit my hand around, it just looks like most of the ones I saw in the store looked like the handle alone would "print" pretty badly, and if I get a snubby .357, I want it to sit pretty small in the holster, ya know.. That one Baloo showed at the bottom looks pretty close to perfect, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
