Hey everybody, how's it goin? I am 22 years old. Young, but an old soul, so I've been told. I am a CNC machinist by trade, but also do manual machining, tool and die work, etc. My main hobby is cars, but guns are a close 2nd. I am not new to guns, but a noob when it comes to mods. I don't go shooting as much as I would like but enough to ensure I don't get rusty. However, I did just start my own personal collection within the past year. I always loved my dads 18.5" persuader. A Mossberg was always on my list, 500 specifically. Had no short tem plans of buying one until the neighborhood started unfolding around us.
Within the past two weeks, this has been life in our normally calm neighborhood: First started with the dog going off, and a knock at the door. It was a man who got stabbed in the neck at the house kitty corner, supposedly a "car sale gone wrong", that led to a huge standoff with an empty house. It got pretty ugly, especially considering they did all the damage to the house while the guy is somewhere making his escape. After that, a couple stolen cars got ditched on the corner. Then last week, it was hot so the door was open. I heard my girlfriend scream and say that somebody was in the yard coming toward the house. So I run out (barefoot unfortunately) and see the guy running through other yards. He ended up getting caught, along with another. They tried robbing the house on the next block. My mother in law knows one of the sheriffs that was at the scene. After it was over he came by and informed us that the house that got robbed, along with another one nearby.. Are suspected heroin dealer houses. Both new neighbors as well. It all started when they moved in. So I figured better safe than sorry, it was time for another HD gun.
So I shopped around locally for a decent deal. Ended up with a 500 Persuader, 8 shot with the 20" barrel. Actually I got the "zombie" version. Now let me tell ya, I am a HUGE hater of this stupid zombie craze, think it is slightly ignorant. But I do like the color green
. The main reason for going with the zombie version though, it was cheaper than the "non-zombie" 8 shot, and included a sling.
I plan on modding it, not as much as I thought I wanted to though. I do want a heat shield, always wanted one for some reason, I think they look pretty cool lol. Not sure if it interferes with the bead sight though. I also want some variation of the adjustable m4 type stock. Make it a little more friendly for the lady to shoot. I also want a tac light, been looking at the TLR-1. I wanted some sort of sights or a laser, mainly so my girlfriend was more comfortable using it if it ever came down to it. But I figure we will take it out and see if she can learn to use the bead sight proficiently. Spend that saved money on extra ammo!
Anyways, the length of this intro is starting to get absurd . I look forward to meeting some good people, and learning a bunch along the way.
