I'm happy now.
I finally got to hold a Desert Eagle, heavy and chunky; I couldn't even wrap my hands completely around it it was big. I also got to handle a AO 1911, I'm so saving any penny I can find and getting one.
Bass Pro Shops in Prattville, AL is gonna be my reason to go out and find a job.

Re: I'm happy now.
Why not get a job @ the ProBass shop? That could be fun!

Re: I'm happy now.
After getting a Ruger in .454 (which I swore I would never do) a .50ae Desert Eagle is looking mighty tempting. It's built better than my truck and costs more...
I think recoil is addictive....  |

I shot a co-worker's .50AE Desert Eagle this summer. What a beast!

Re: I'm happy now.
Well, I live in Montgomery and the store is in Prattville, which is 30min away on a good, trafficless, day. Going down I85 then trying to go down I65, pain.

Re: I'm happy now.
Wnen I was in getting my CCW permit there was a lady there, too.
She was average height and weight and maybe 45 years old or so. She told me her firearm was a Desert Eagle...

Re: I'm happy now.
Probably meant Baby Desert Eagle, unless she had a over sized hand bag.

Re: I'm happy now.
I have big hands and a Desert Eagle isn't a comfortable gun for me to shoot.

Re: I'm happy now.
Went there, again. This time I held a P99AS (can't remember if it was the compact size or the full size) in 9mm and the FN-Five-seveN. Both are fine weapons, I like the Five-seveN, but can't touch the price tag, only $899.99. The P99 was only $477.xx, I might think about that.
To many bloody choices, can't...decide.

Re: I'm happy now.
Quick question. If I had the money, should I buy the FN-5.7, the Walther P99 (9mm or .40SM), the 1911 (Khar), or find something else. Not to concerned with size, I can concealed just about anything rather easily (save something like a Desert Eagle I don't fond well with carrying a purse around
).I'll take other suggestions into consideration.
