I put the night sites on as a novelty. For home defense I use something a little bigger, my Benelli.
I thought the gold model came standard with a Mercedes hood ornament front sight?
more pics, less chat!
how much are those bad boys running these days? for just a baseline model
Thanks. Yeah, the drive sucked, especially in the rain after I just dropped my wife of 18 years off, knowing she is going to the 'Stan in 2 weeks. Not a fun drive...
The 50AE is pretty much just to burn cash. If you have it, go for it. I have shot every DE in every config they have, with 13in barrels, reflex sights, 50AE with breaks, ect. (a rich guy used to bring 5-6 with him to the range I went to in Southern Cal. when I was growing up and would let me shoot them since I always brought my Dad's .44 DE and S&W 686 6" and did decent with them.
The 50AE doesn't have that much more kick and isn't any more fun to shoot than the 44. Considering the cost of brass nowadays, it is just for bragging rights, which I am cool with too, just not willing to pay for yet. I can do it very easily though with a barrel and mag. addition in this gun since the bolt and gun are setup for the .50AE, so adding it in the future isn't a big deal.
I bought the .44 to be a shooter though, and it is, I have yet to go to the range and not bring it. Something about shooting it that brings a smile to my face REGARDLESS of what is going on in my life.
You can bet your A%% I'll be going to the range this week if I can find a baby sitter, too much stress going on!
My AR is chambered for 50AE-so I'm familiar with the costs (unfortunately). I think they would be a fun range combo-plus I want to take the carbine hog hunting
I can shoot under 2moa at 100yds with the sights on the carry handle. The hand-reamed Pac-Nor match barrel definitely makes a difference there
That sounds like some fun. I've never heard of the 50AE in anything other than a DE or custom gun. An AR in 50AE sounds like fun!
I remember when a box of 50AE was $30-$40, it wasn't so bad then. I also remember paying $15 for .44mag too. This $33 a box stuff is getting old quick.
Got any pics of that bad boy?
Whats up guys?
Got a picture of my .50 AE right here. It's a lot of fun to shoot. It's been a rocky start so far being a lefty.
Sweet! The only two DE's on here so far and we're both lefties.
Why the issue shooting lefty? Never been a issue for me, but I've never been given the chance to shoot otherwise, including in the military that didn't give a rat's ass.
Nice pistol! Where do you shoot it at?
