9mm STI

 

 

hello CelP! and welcome! what about the 9mm STI? (aside from the fact that, considering the parts are made in parang, marikina, is frightfully expensive)

tanong ko lang po, I just renewed my firearm license and was required to pay a surety bond, what is the surety bond for?

 

another way for them to make money, it islike their saying you need to pay the bond so they will be sure that you will rehister your firearm, kinda stupid since we already paid for the renewal of our license, that's why we are their at crame to renew our fire arms license.....i was lucky that i didnt have to pay for the renewal last nov09, but i think i they just started this january 2010....

I own a sam trooper 1911 9mm na short 3.5" barrel.. its a cheap gun pero not bad, accurate naman and lesser recoil due to its steel frame and addt'l custom stabilizer with mercury.. not sure how big is the difference between sa stabilizer na my mercury at sa wala since di ko ntry gamitn ng plain stabilizer lang, nahirapan kasi ako humanap kaya ngpasadya nlng..

may outdoor range ba somewhere near araneta-quezon ave area? i'm currently shooting sa armscor makati, kaya lang medyo nalalayuan na ako..

pwede din ba un stock na steel frame iconvert sa hi-cap frame o kelangan tlg palit buong frame?

I'm posting this as a total ignoramus when it comes to guns and shooting. Please bear with me.

 

For the longest time, I've been thinking of trying practical shooting, but I really don't know anyone who can give me pointers. Anyway, I got a few questions:

 

- What gun can you recommend for first-time users like me? Take into consideration that I'm a woman and some of the guns that you boys are using might be too heavy for me.

 

- Is it safe for a woman to get into this thing? Obviously, almost all of the posts here are from males.

 

- I live in Manila. Can you recommend any firing ranges in the area where I can practice shooting?

 

Thanks!

 

 

hmmm. i would suggest you try .380 or 9mm. i have friends who tried it in .45 cal and they ended up hating it too much recoil and too much muzzle flip daw. its ok to use pistols that are heavy as they are a lot easier to manipulate.

 

As for your safety it will depend on who is teaching you.stay away from mall ninjas as they don't know anything than pretend to be an operator or something.hehehehe

 

as for firing ranges i would suggest you go to pb dionisio and look for edgar magdasol, he is a range officer there and a multi awarded shooter. you can also rent a gun there and buy range ammo too just be prepared to shell out a lot as you will have to pay for range fee, gun rental and ammo that you will use.

 

i hope this helps.

i hope the stupid ban would really be lifted come june 11.

hi blackmagicwoman...for a first time user, specially the gender issue...i would recommend the 9mm caliber or even tried the 45 caliber ... so whats the difference between the two:

1. 9mm has less recoil vis a vis 45 caliber.

2. 45 caliber is one of the best gun in terms of stopping power which is ideal for self defense but high recoil.

 

i would say, it is very safe to exchange into this kind of sports and infact there is a lady category whenever we have a shooting competition, to separate the guys and lady shooters from the award. however, lady shooters are included in the aggregate scores etc....

 

i suggest you try armscor shooting ranges in marikina where you can also borrow different kind of house gun so you could feel which caliber fits you best.

 

as for manila tonight shooters...iam now in philippines....you may schedule our practice so we could meet up and exchange some trainings tips in the range....

 

 

GOOD LUCK AND SSAFETY SHOOTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
