I'm canvassing for my first pistol, sa Makati Cinema Square ko plano kumuha... I'm thinking of getting this one:

 

Model: Armscor 1911A1-45 FS GI (PHP16,500) plus 6k for license

Specs:

Caliber: .45 ACP

Mag. Capacity : 8 rounds

Barrel: Standard

Barrel Length: 127 mm

Overall Length : 217 mm

Weight, empty : 1.12 kgs.

Description: Semi-auto & recoil operated action; GI front sight mounted on slot; GI rear sight mounted on dovetail cut; 1.81 - 2.27 kgs. trigger pull; GI hammer; GI grip safety; GI serration (rear only); GI trigger; Parkerized finish; Polymer grip except plain wood grip for CS model

 

P16.5k sya sa isang seller sa sulit + 6k for the license pero I plan to get mine at Makati Cinema Square dahil may katabi syang firing range para ma-test ko na din pagkakuha ko.

 

Can you guys tell me which of the shops are reliable? What do you think po of the unit, okay na ba sya for a beginner like me?

 

I heard you have to get a Permit to Transport so you can bring your gun to your shooting range, magkano po kaya ito?

 

Thanks in advance!

ARMSCOR is a good gun thou Philippine made. In fact, I even used the 40 caliber Armscor and have it modified and even landed Champions trophy in IPSC competition. For a beginner, its a very reliable gun but needs some modification on the internal parts.

 

I suggest try to buy at reliable gun store like the Makati Cinema Square which is an AFAD member. For a 45 caliber pistol, you will be required to present CERTIFICATE OF GUN CLUB MEMBERSHIP since you are buying a high caliber gun. Your gun store can assist you on whatever documents you would be needing since its part of the procedure of PNP-FED before they will issue the FA license.

 

The PERMIT TO TRANSPORT will be given to you by your STORE by the time your gun is ready for pick up. Usually, they will give you 1 week permit to transport then later on you may opt to apply for the PTT which they usually charge at P360.00 and is good for 3 months.

 

GOOD LUCK AND SAFETY SHOOTING.

thanks chiefs. the reason why i asked is because i'm still uncertain on what to get for my 2nd firearm. i already have some reviews on the sig p226. so it's really a choice between jericho and sig. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

 

i would suggest the jericho. since its a cz clone, there are more parts available in the market. you could even use the APP9s parts, yes armscor's own polymer, in a pinch. or even real tanfoglio parts.

sir Dogbite is right. pick an AFAD member. or, better yet, since your in MCS na rin, you go straight to the Armscor shop in the basement, next to the health clinic. i have had 2 armscors over the years. their a great base gun to start from

angat ko lang, people!

Good evening po.

 

I went to Armscor MCS na. I've tried both their 9mm and .45 pistols and I've changed my mind and narrowed down my choices to a 9mm. Parang mas madaling kontrolin ang recoil nya e. Tsaka pang-home defense lang naman. I'm thinking of getting either a norinco or armscor.

 

Sturdy daw ang Norinco dahil maganda ang gawa nila sa steel ng guns nila.

 

Ang armscor naman kilalang brand tapos quality daw ang pistols nila... although parang di ko gusto na 9 rounds lang ang nalalagay sa magazine, samantalang ang norinco 15 rounds...

 

What do you suggest I get among the two?

 

Thanks!

sorry for the late reply. sir shinta, i do believe there's a 9mm hicap 1911 available sa armscor, you could try that. if your not dead set on a 1911 design, armscor also has the tanfoglio in 9mm, as well as their version the AP9

For a beginner, 45 caliber is difficult to control particularly the recoil, but it has the best stopping power if home and personal security will be considered. All guns had its own characteristic for which the shooter must familiarized per se.

 

If you will choose 9mm, Sir miggyE suggestion is right, why not opt for the Tanfoglio 9mm which is truly competitive and had been tested by PRODUCTION shooters in IPSC competition. Tanfoglio is being manufactured also by ARMSCORP for which replacement parts is readily available in the market.

 

Inform us if you had your gun then we will advise the proper break in procedure.

 

 

GOOD LUCK AND SAFETY SHOOTING.

ei guys, Share ko lang I have Para ord. p14 na naka set up and armenent M14 naka set up din but i never tried to fire it on my own tinitignan ko lang cla sa bahay! hehe

[shinta]

One of the posts at pinoyguns made me decide to get a Norinco na lang...

 

I've ordered one na and I'll be getting it by Friday or Saturday. I tested the one they had for demo and it was kinda heavy but I liked how the 2-tone version looked.

 

I've read that I'm supposed to break-in the pistol using 50 rounds of new FMJs, then 100-200 rounds of reloaded FMJs. Is that alright?

 

I plan to have the new 50 rounds reloaded at armscor for my weekly accuracy practice.

CONGRATS AND WELCOME TO THE SHOOTING WORLD. Sir Shinta, save your 50 rounds of new ammo for your carry and use the reloaded FMJ for your break-in. Ask the reloader for an IPSC load so they will give you the correct power factor. You may also use the TEFLON head later on with almost the same feel and behavior of FMJ.

 

GOOD LUCK AND SAFETY SHOOTING.

welcome sir shinta :thumbsupsmiley:

 

btw, sir dogbite, somehow its being very difficult to find teflon bullets here recently. i have been using fmj's in my reloads....
