**Dons flame-retardant suit…
Cleaver Firearms are offering an exceptionally cheap deal on this pint-sized pistol by Smith & Wesson, chambered in 9mm. It is very light weight, not only because if it's size, but it is also a combination of polymer and stainless steel. It comes with 2 magazines, at least one of which is an 8 round capacity.

This is a brilliant pistol and very well reviewed (generally 5*) on sites like Cabela's.

Please, no silly comments - if it's not your cup of tea, move along. Maybe to your local pistol range to try it out! You might surprise yourself with a 1 inch grouping :-)

        Good thing about our country, most people's weapon of choice is their tongue.

        Do you need a license to try weapons out at the gun club? or can you do it under supervision?

        • nocure on 03/12/2017 - 13:36
          +13

          Yes, Under supervision, but I guarantee you will walk out with a license application.

        • Thrift on 03/12/2017 - 13:37

          If by "try weapons out" you mean "try target shooting to see if you like the sport", then you can do it under supervision at a range of ranges.

          You'll be asked to fill out a form, eg for NSW and some Sydney ranges: Sydney International Shooting Centre, other metro ranges

          In Melbourne, Springvale Range

          Note: these aren't "pay and spray" venues where you try an Uzi, Barrett 50 cal, then bazooka.

          @Thrift: cheers that's handy. Yeah I've seen the pay & spray OS, but didn't really interest me (I'm not sure wy'd you'd want to shoot a cow with a m16 - yes I'm looking at you Cambodia).

          We had fun with slug guns as kids, and target pistols OS. But I'd love to try out out again to see if it's just a fun as I remember. But wouldn't want to own a weapon (unless you can store it at the club, but that's anothe debate :-)

          @nocure: No you won't …

          You have to contact the registry to send you an application (eventually…) and then take safety courses, join a club (or buy a farm) and then apply. They then will process it (with a 28 day cooling off period, if you weren't already freezing from the wait) and then send you a form to have your photo taken at the RMS (in NSW) and then they send you your licence.

          BUY YOU CAN'T BUY A GUN YET … you then apply for a Permit to Acquire which takes a couple of months to process and then you can buy one.

          Mine ended up almost 6 months in NSW …

        • WazzaP on 03/12/2017 - 17:44

          @supabrudda: Most clubs will allow you to store your gun(s) there, and some self storage places have approved firearm safe storage available. A lot of clubs will also have club guns for hire, so you can still take up shooting without needing to own your own gun.

          @TheBilly:

          No need for special days. My old boss was egging me on for ages to give shooting a crack, so I rocked up to the SSAA range at Belmont, never held a gun in my life. As I was going up to the counter a member saw me looking a little lost, so he asked if I've ever shot before, I said no, so he said he will give me a crash course on range safety and basic weapon use.

          Went up to the counter, gave them my Drivers License, paid for range fees, gun hire and some bullets, they gave me a .22 rifle, a quick rundown on how to carry it around the range, a box of bullets, a few targets, and I went and joined the other guy.

          He spent about 10 minutes with me going over the basics, including what to do when range is open and closed, saw I was pretty responsible and left me to it. Spent a good hours just plinking away with a .22

          Next Time I went I started with the .22 again, then stepped up to a .22-250. Third time I went I tried a .308, good fun.

          Also shot a 12-gauge over-under, with a skeet launcher, that was hell fun.

          Memorable moment was when I was shooting some .308, and just before range close, a guy came over and set up his gear on the bench next to me. Was a nice looking piece of gear, so while the range was closed for people to change targets, we had a bit of a chat. He was a comp shooter and that was his brand new .308. Anyway when the range opened again, he loaded his first round, aimed away, and let fly, and that's when I realised I forgot my ear plugs, and he had a nice custom muzzle break, that seemed to channel all the noise right into my ears. Good times.

          @b1ackmai1er:

          I wasn't a member. And the range is very safe, you even look like you will break any of the rules, you're out, no second chances. I believe that if I didn't have a known member show me the ropes, the range controller would have ensured I knew every rule.

          And lets face it, its not bloody hard to work a bolt action, single shot rifle.

      you can collect and shoot guns as a hobby. you just need a license, and you're fairly limited as to what you can shoot, but that doesn't mean you're limited to only bolt actions on your standard CAT A B license.

      If you don't know people with big properties to go shooting on, you can shoot in state forests (although i'm not sure how laws differ between states).

      • Kozhutki on 03/12/2017 - 15:01

        Yeah I know you can still get guns, it's just the licence is a pain in the ass and it's not something I see myself doing often enough to keep the membership.

          I guess that is the object. If you are a dedicated hobbyist, there are avenues, but if you are a casual, it is all a bit tiresome.
          End result is fewer guns in the hands of people who might be careless.

        • swilso on 03/12/2017 - 14:48

          It’s still a category H weapon. It just depends on your genuine reason for having your license - a property license holder (those long forgotten farmers) could legally own this on paper, they’re not big on issuing farmers with handguns at the moment. It’s just sports/target shooters that have the 120mm requirement, at least in qld anyway.

        • tonyjzx on 03/12/2017 - 15:43

          surely the full service sized M&P should be the same cost?

          Needs a polish. Format is a bit off.

          As I went to go shooting in Logan
          I was found to be out brodened
          I pulled out my gun
          But just had to run
          As there were way too many bogans
