    I have a soft spot for side by side and over & under shotguns. I like sxs for bird hunting and o&h for target. Currently, my favorite bird gun is an Abercrombie & Fitch Zoli-Rizzini 28 gauge sxs. The stock had been cut and reattached by the previous owner and I use mole skin on the comb for a proper fit. It is nothing fancy, but is is a great light weight field gun in the 5 lb. range that is a lot of fun to shoot.

    For something a little fancier, I have included a few photos of my Arrieta 16 gauge sxs. The Arrieta are the bottom two photos.

    I went with these three..... in Combat Arms.

    Well, as near as I can find photos... my TPG has a custom hi-mag scope and cuts off some extra weight while improving accuracy. My M416 is in a CBQ configuration; short barrel and reduced weight while improving the damage. The XM8 is stock as far as I can tell, but has a medium range sniper scope.

    Oh, and I carry a M1911 as well.

    That is awesome Dylan. I ain't gonna mess with you .... unless.... I have my FN Hi Power. All Belgian made. No 'Assembled In Portugal'. Night sights and the indestructible matte finish. This is the seller's photo. I haven't gotten it yet but maybe this time next week. Probably going to send it to Cylinder and Slide for a trigger job, magazine safety disconnect and a wide trigger and ring hammer. I'm thinking this might be my carry gun.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Cool

    Yesterday just picked up the Ruger SR9c.

    Great gun!! Think I'll go to the range today!!



    9mm with mags for 10 or 17 rounds.

    I originally intended to get the SR9, but the guy showed me the SR9c.
    3.5 inch barrel instead of 4 inch. More compact, yet with the 17 round mag
    inserted it is just like the SR9. Also the pull is much less on the SR9c.

    Default Got this the other day for my 50 th

    It is a 1/3 scale 32lb naval gun, known as a long nine as the barrel was 9 ' long, main armament in ships of the line in the British navy from the Napoleonic era and later. This gun is cast iron around a heavy walled stainless steel tube with a welded breech plug, bore is 1 1/4'' and has come with a ball mould, still to be finished. Gun is in its embrasure on our new terrace. Will proof test it when the ball mould is available. Reckon it will go off with hell of a bang. A lovely present from the 'war office and her parents !!

    Cheers

    I have a Swiss K31 that is superb. Mine used to live with a soldier from Basel. My stepson likes it so well that he bought 2 of them for himself.

    I collect Browning P-35's that have the 1911 style internal extractors. I also collect SIG P6 and HK P7 West German Police pistols.

    Used to shoot competitively, so have several other types. I still shoot "informal" bowling pin matches for fun.

    EDIT: @jeffegg2: In case you don't know about it yet; this site has some goodies for the Ruger SR9 pistols. ghostinc.com

    HOT DIGGETY...PISTOL PORN!!! Just found this thread. Count me in!

    As reads my moniker...these are oldschool tools made in the USA.

    S&W Mod.586 w/ Eagle Heritage Rosewood stocks.
    Colt Gold Cup also with Rosewood full checkered.

    Both weapons have sub 4# trigger pulls...smooth, crisp and without creep.
    Either will shoot far better than I can hold and print approx. 3 1/2 inches at 25 yards from the bench.

    For your approval:
