Personal Firearms

You guys make me feel old!
Browsing this tread and half the guns you talk about i haven't even seen...
My PSA a long time ago was the CZ 75, a good gun in the days! ;)
But I had a Ruger gp-100 .357, HK P9s, HK P7 M8 and now the Glock 17.
I don't fancy the Glock much thou, "If you hold it wrong it wont function properly" and in the early days we had problem with mags swelling and get stuck.
That said, with a stiffer recoil spring it loves the Swedish 39b 9mm ammo, steel jacketed bullets, sweet!

It's scary how easy it is to buy a gun in utah though. I still have that temporary paper license until the plastic one shows up in the mail in a few weeks. But even with that I was in and out in twenty minutes with a brand new pistol.

Just think that up until 1968 you could order pistols through the mail.

I saw a sign this past weekend that made me laugh. it went something like "ATF - Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store not a government agency".

I've got a Ruger P95. Its a nice gun. Although finding accessories and ammo right now is proving to be alot harder then I ever imagined with the impending new gun legislations here in the US.

Hard to find ammo in TX, what happened to the US I remember ;)
Have the P95 got the silly thing inside you have to push to take it apart as the P85 had?

Exactly!! Just about every store I went to in the last week has either been sold out or only had a few boxes left. Luckily I managed to find some 9mm NATO at Academy the other day and I picked some up. But yeah, it does have the hinged ejector that has to be folded down. Its the one draw back to a firearm thats otherwise built like a tank!

Sturdy as an old safe, works every time!
Very nice to carry but not so for just having an afternoon of fun, it gets HOT and dirty and if I feel for some of that I wont reach for a gun!
If you see one at a gun show, pick it up and dry fire it, feels like a Swiss watch!

Well, I think so.
I'm really a lousy shooter with a handgun, it's lots of fun but at 25 meters i don't hit many cans.
On the other hand I'm, if I'm allowed to say so, a great shooter with long-arms.
FN-FAL, HK 91 or any old Mauser... don't like no sissy .223s.

.223 can kill you just as fast.

My. 357 mag with a snub barrel is fun to shoot.
Its a security six.
