Over the past month or so, I spent enough money on guns/ammo/accessories to pay for 80% of an FR-S.

Right now I've got 10 more rifles in the waiting period. I'm like the poster child for panic buying.

Started receiving my optics:



So far I have an Aimpoint Pro, Aimpoint Comp M2 x2, and a Eotech EOLAD.

More of a pistol guy.... Have two Jericho 941. One is older one from early '90s in 9mm. My carry is the newer one with rail in 40. Both full size steel. I have 3 mags for the 9mm and 5 for 40s&w, lol....

Also have two Taurus 85 revolvers. Again one is from the early '90s and actually belonged to my dad. Since I always like his, I bought a new model. He eventually gave me his. His is stainless with hardwood handle. The newer one has a silver satin finish... Almost feels sandblasted. Almost. It has has rosewood handle and gold trigger, hammer, and cylinder release. The rosewood handle is shorter so it's good for conceal but your pinky hangs off.... So they include a plastic full size grip as well.

My in-laws go to the range with me and they have a few pieces:
Taurus Tracker .357 mag.
Springfield XDM in 9mm... Forget the barrel length.
Ruger MK3
RPK
Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm
Betetta PX4 Storm Special Duty .45acp
Marlin 22lr.... Forget model. Bolt action.
Mossberg 500 home defense 12ga
Remington shotgun... Forgot model. 12ga.
They also have a .30-30 over under too.... But like I said, pistol guy, lol. Have no clue on rifles beside the basics.

When we go to an outdoor range, we pretty have a full day of cleaning afterwards, lol.

The one rifle I am waiting for though is the IWI Tavor. Mmmm sexy. And I was going to get a FNH Five seveN, but the whole supposed ban made the price jump to about $1800! No thanks...

Beautiful! Never owned one but I've always loved pre 20th century type firearms. Pure functional art.

Car people always seem to be gun people to.
Also watch people. Guess its because we all appreciate the beauty of machines.

My XDm .40



Ammo special I couldn't pass up
100$ for all this



And the only problem I ever had with the pistol.. Some say it was the ammo, some say it's me limp-wrist.. Either way it just happened a few times





Out shooting with my little brother




My friend went with us.. Some cheap ass Jennings 9 and it was the first time I ever seen a "accidental discharge" it was just not firing when you pulled the trigger every time.. My brother was sitting across from my friend and my friend was looking at the gun on a cold range, just pulled the trigger and it went off, bullet landed about 4" from my brothers foot... Needless to say, we was kicked off that range quick like.. The look on my brothers face and my friends were priceless, something now we can chuckle at, but at the time I thought my brother was going to shoot my friend..

Why on earth would you go to the range with a friend who would violate every rule of basic gun safety?

- Assume every firearm is loaded.
- Control the muzzle direction at all times.
- Trigger finger off trigger and out of trigger guard.
- See that the firearm is unloaded. PROVE it safe.

Not sure where you were going with that, but violent crime is MUCH higher in the uk than the united states.. actually, its also higher in Au than it is here too. Just because the guns are reduced doesn't mean people will be less likely to harm each other.

You also failed to mention that by your own link there are more than twice as many SUICIDES with firearms than there are homicides that contribute to that overall number.

So, what was that about gun crime and likelyhood of being shot? .. right.. that's what I thought.

Just picked these up, not sure exactly how they'll turn out yet.. but I was happy to be able to get them at all. Lately even polymer lowers like these are hard to find at reasonable price.



Have had these for a while



Mossberg 500 tactical, S&W M&P 9mm, Bersa thunder .380

I used to open carry the Bersa a lot (legal in Va) but given the recent climate I've decided to get my concealed permit and keep it hidden. People dont know how to act so I'd rather they just dont know if I'm carrying or not. I also have a savage model 110 in .270 that I'm looking to sell. I dont hunt anymore so its just collecting dust. no pics of that one since its no where near as interesting as the shotgun and pistols are. lol
