New addition to the family

Oh, at some point in the future, I definitely want a 1911 in .45ACP, recoil or not.

Naren, if voting has begun, I'd vote for a S&A Loaded model

I live in New Hampshire, North of Massachusetts, but like I said, only a few miles from the border.

Nashua ? When I got a job in Mass 3 years back, I had decided to live in Nashua even though it wd've been a 45 mile drive for me one way to work.

I just don't live in Mass, but I work there and spend a lot of my free time (I train there, have friends, I shop there, etc.)

You shop in Taxachussets ? Even after NH not having any Sales Tax ?

Sorry for going off topic

I quickly looked the SA loaded up, nice looking and has great reviews. Thanks, although it will be a few years before I seriously consider getting it.

No, I have always preferred the Eastern part of Southern NH. I was in Salem for some time, and recently moved to Hampstead, NH

I take that back, now that I think of it, the mall and the grocery stores are all in NH. It is just so close to the border, I tend to forget where I am.

Sorry to join so late.That is a very nice looking pistol.Congratulations.Planning to reload in near future?

Best-

Thank you Vikram.

I don't think I'll be reloading anytime in the near future. I do have the space for it, but I don't think I have the time. And given how much I shoot these days, it is just easier for me to get ammo. from the store.

Save your empties though. Even if you don't reload, you can sell your empties at the local shop, you'll probably get a nickel for each but it is still money (gas maybe). Maybe someone at your club will want to trade your empties. Like I said, its money. If you decide to reload later, you'll already have empties I saved my shotshells for the longest time before I even bought a reloader. For about a year, I used to just give away my empties to a guy who shot with me. One day another guy told me that I was giving away money

BTW, I wonder if I told you, I lived in Salem, NH for a total of little over 2 years. Loved it.

I've been putting the empties in the 'empties box' at the club, the Club puts them to good use, I'm sure. I really don't see myself reloading in the near future, and I buy most of my ammo. at Walmart, where they don't buy empties. I should try asking the gun store though.

You're right, I think you did mention once, that you used to live in Salem. Hampstead, where I live now, is only a few miles away, and a lot nicer.

I've always lived in New England, and like it far too much to consider moving. I just hope circumstances remain in favor of me staying put.

hi Naren,

Nice Gun..Congrats!!! Which club do you go to? Are you member of TAG?

Cheers,

At a private Fish and Game club in Newton, NH. You have to be a member or be accompanied by one to shoot at our rifle/pistol range, trap is open to public.

What is TAG?

Your profile says that you live in the United States, what state? Your question on what club I belong to makes me wonder if you live in the area.

hi Naren,

Used to stay in Cambridge,MA. TAG is Tactical Arts Group that meets at manchester firing range in NH. People meet for scenario shooting every monday.It was fun. I loved New England Area...just love kind of hills and woods it has.and Charles MGH..beautiful place...

Cheers,
Vikas

I knew they did something like that at the Manchester Firing Line, just didn't know what it was called. I do go there sometimes, but only to rent/shoot full-auto guns, for everything else, I have a place a lot closer, cheaper and more accessible.

They have a great full auto collection - MP5s (one with a suppressor), M-16s, Uzis, the Thompson, and even the M-60.

From you post, it sounds like you don't live around here anymore.

Eklavya, you and I share the same tracks I think. I too lived for two years in New England and I lived in DSM for 3 years. Started shotgun shooting there, shot mostly at Ikes in Indianola, was a member there. Shot a few times in NPGC and quite a few times at the DNR range (Butch Olofson). Shot a LOT with the Cowboys there. Hunt deer every year for the last five years in Colfax area, missed this past year though. Man, I have great memories of Iowa and still have a lot of GOOD friends there. Let me know if you need info about DSM area shooting.
