New guns in the family
 

My dad got his first gun back in february, a springfield 1911 champion. my mom decided she wanted to learn to shoot and they went to a safety class about 2 weeks ago. of course she hated the recoil from the .45. So my dad, being the generous guy he is, runs out yesterday and buys her a Beretta 84FS Cheetah in .380. While he was there he just happened to pick up a S&W 1911 (not sure which model yet, it has a black finish and a rail mount for lights/lasers). I'll post pics once he emails me some (They have to wait for the Indiana FFL to ship the guns to a Michigan FFL, where they live) I'm pretty psyched my folks are getting into guns this much. all thanks to me.

That's great!! Shooting and collecting guns can be a fun family activity.

:) Looking forward to those pics.

Hey, keep up the good work!

Mrs. Noids, myself, and our daughter may very well have put a fright into Daughter Noids' new boyfriend at dinner tonight as we were discussing this weekends shooting plans.

HAHAHAHAHA that awesome. Congrats on your parents. I'v talked my wife to be into takin some safety classes with my but i'm still workin on the parents.

haha, great stuff, gnoids. if i ever have a daughter, guns will most assuredly be a talk point when she brings a boyfriend home.

My dad finally got around to sending pics. enjoy!

i have the opposite problem, I can't get my woman to go anywhere near a range! i need to get her a pocket pistol in .32 acp or something. little lady, little hands, blah blah blah.

Nice starter set! :)

That Beretta .380 is a fine pistol. I have the Beretta in .380 with the tip up barrel. Shoots very well, little recoil, and has never misfired. I have shot probably 1000 rounds or more through it and no failures. Easy to clean, easy to load but rather hard to CCW. I think mine is the model 86? Cant remember. Its in my sons safe right at the moment. Using my Keltec pf9 right at the moment. I migrate from Wisconsin to Texas this time of the year, and swap firearms with my sons. Fun to have a variety to carry. I have been playing with a Phoenix Arms HP22a and like it alot. Wont carry it but love shooting cheap! I do carry it around home in Wisconsin for plinking in the woods, and squirrel control. They are winning, but I am getting better! My most favorite gun is my pellet rifle. Silent death to the vermin! I am getting off subject here, but fun to talk shooting.
