Thread: Personal Firearms

Remember it's a "Show & Tell" thread,,,,,,,,,,,,

.........so show them & tell us about them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Here's one of them Hirlau...the others to follow later. they were acquired one at a time, like my SRs...beyond the number my wife thinks I "need". Then there's ammo.....


The other ones shall be for a later post, suffice it to say, we're safe here

Here is my 1991 Gold Cup Delta Elite with a G-20 Glock 2nd generation 10mm on the right, and a 'baby' Glock G-29 on the left. I'm told that '91 was the only year Colt made the Gold Cup in blue for 10mm ;




Here is the same G-20 flanked by the same G-29 10mm. The G-20 now sports a Bar-sto barrel and is a tack driver ;

Dang Jimmy, ,,, you get one more & somebody might call you a Prepper !!!

If I ever hit the lottery and have the $ I'll own a Bren Ten and a Dan Wesson in 10mm .......

That'll work,,,,,

I remember when Don Johnson made the Bren Ten famous. I believe the 10 mm is at its best with stouter hand loads, or have newer factory offerings fixed that?

Speaking of 80's guns, I had a Coonan Arms .357 semi-auto I let go years ago, wish I still had it!

There are a few companies putting out + P 10mm that is supposedly on par with the original Norma rounds. I'm not paying $35.00 for 20 rounds though so I load my own. I was lucky to score, if paying through the nose could be considered a score, 11 pounds of AA No.9 which is ideal for 10mm and 357sig, both of which I load. I make 'em as hot as I want 'em, and now I have enough powder to last me the rest of my life. Hope the primers don't disappear.

just a couple weeks ago i was getting a bite to eat at a restaurant bar with a friend , about 45 mins after we left a guy came in robbed the place and shot a guy ... i ALWAYS carry , and if it is a place where im not allowed ( store or restaurant ) they usually dont get my business .... my ex wife used to say i was paranoid cause i would tell my children things like " if this or that happens ill give you my phone and you guys go here or there , or point out emergency exits in places , or explain places for cover ... she is now in the process of getting her CCW permit in is telling them the same .. times are changing and i would rather have a gun on me and not need it then not have it and need it ..

there are a bunch of school districts here in Ohio who are considering concealed carry for teachers and i think 50+ teachers took a class already at a place in Ohio 2 weeks ago and more classes already booked that is a defensive and tactical training company that has incorporated a bunch of school related scenarios and such into there programs to meet what certification requirements would be needed ...

Just to clarify, I have no stance whatsoever for or against the carrying or ownership of guns.

Been from a country where gun crime is very rare (though on the up), I personally have only ever seen a real handgun or automatic in the airport and abroad. I honestly don't think I have the knowledge or experience to have a valid opinion on the subject.

To clarify my original post it was mearly an observation as to how normal firearms are in your society and how alien they are to someone like me who was brought up and live in a largely gun free society.
