Gun and knife picture thread!

That gun is much cheaper than I would have guessed. Nice.
It still looks green here though - both pics on two different laptops. I'm guessing it's like the Springfield Tactical Gray that looks blue and gray depending on the light.

Yeah, caught it on sale. Usually goes right around $850 before taxes and fees. And I agree, it's grey but has some green tint in certain light. Sort of like that Ford cactus color.
Well, I can't upload pics without a membership and last I heard the membership system wasn't working, so unless someone can confirm that membership process is up and running again you'll have to use your imagination 
No idea. You have to PM @1BadJeepBruiserWell, I can't upload pics without a membership and last I heard the membership system wasn't working, so unless someone can confirm that membership process is up and running again you'll have to use your imagination
Or you can use an outside image host like Imgur.
I have access to a couple of image hosting sites, but for at least some of them, images of firearms is against their T&Cs - including Imgur. While they "sometimes" give warnings, I know many people that have had their accounts pulled immediately for posting pics of firearms, if they actually managed to get them uploaded in the first place.
Well I keep my posts private and have never had a problem.
The star system is working
Here's the first few of the collection. There's some more hanging around, these were easily accessible as I got back from the range. I'll get some pics of long guns too at some point.
A few more....
Nice! I'm a big M&P fan myself. They just feel so much better in my hand than that G brand.
Me too. I've never owned a Grock other than the P80 clone in the pics. I've shot them, I just don't like them. I've got first refusal on a G19 that another Brit has, and I'm convinced his wife is going to make him get rid of it, pretty sure he's shot it twice in 6 years lol.
Used to be a Sig fan, but as soon as I got my first M&P (the .40cal 2.0) I was hooked on them.Picked it up for $295 new a couple years ago, and I haven't bought any other brand of handgun since.
I'm on the lookout for my Citizenship celebration gun - it will probably be another M&P if it's a handgun
The SP2022 was my first - it was my "welcome to America" gun. The P225A1 was my "Congratulations on getting a Green Card" gun.
It's funny. I'm exactly the opposite.
Congrats on the citizenship! So you emigrated from Britian?Me too. I've never owned a Grock other than the P80 clone in the pics. I've shot them, I just don't like them.

I'm assuming you have pretty big hands.
Yup moved to the US from the UK in 2006, moved back to the UK in 2007 with a new Texan fiance in tow, got married 2008, moved to NC in 2012, still here. Got naturalized at the end of last year.
Accurate
Congrats! Glad to have you!
I got small paws so brick-shaped Glocks aren't my favorite. Although I do have a G43 and I shot my friend's G17 very well. But M&P's just feel better.

As always, hand size and shape are big determining factor for sure. I like Glocks simply because they line up natural for me (hugely important, and often underestimated), and I shoot them well. BUT, I wouldn't care if that was an M&P, or another reliable proven platform.
I put about 150rds through the 2011 over the weekend. One hiccup that I'll chalk up to crap ammo (never buying S&B 9mm again), it ran flawlessly other than that. Did have an odd issue though, I ran out of adjustment on my Holosun 407k. Common problem apparently, and I have the shim plate coming tomorrow to fix it. No chronograph data yet, but I'll get that later on for you guys once I can get it zeroed and focus on data. Obviously those with small hands need not apply, she's a big girl. LOL

My hands aren't tiny but not large either. I don't mind a double stack but the texture or lack of has everything to do with it for me. I don't like the smoother grip on the earlier Glocks but I find the rough textured grip of my 4th gen G22 to be very comfortable and more secure in my hands. My wife on the other hand hates the feel.
I like weird stuff so I decided WW2 needed to be suppressed to I fired up the lathe.
Turned some 17-4PH into this:
1.375x24 external, M18 x 24TPI internal. As machined finish. That lathe is amazing.
DPM I built a couple years back now has a whisper pickle!
