Back to the guns for a second I've just bought a new fun gun for a spot of light relief. A Marlin 1984 Cowboy Octagonal barrel. Got it at a great price and it shoots really well.
I was thinking about putting a peep on it but I like the open sights so much I'll stick with them for a while. I wanted it for a local Billy Dixon 300 yard shoot run at a local range but I can see me shooting it every time I go to the range with my long guns.
Great fun. Now back to the serious stuff over to you guys
I only have four pistols left, two Glocks the 30 and 36 which are both .45acp, a Kahr K9 Elite and a stainless Berretta 950 (.25 acp). I use magsafes for a little extra pop in the Berretta and Federal EFMJ in the others. I was really partial to S&W revolvers like the 627 V-Comp that Jerry Miculek set the speed record with and my alltime fav the 6 inch stainless 629DX (.44 Magnum). Still have about 1200 rounds of .44 mag/.44Special ammo sitting by the piano. Maybe I'll pick up one of those Performance Center jobbies to use it up one of these days.

got the sling and bayonet for my turk a little over a week ago
gotta love the later turk bayonets... they modified anything and everything they could get to work on their mausers... this one was a WW1 german 'ersatz' bayonet before the turks modified it
i'd love to have an original model 1903 bayonet the quillback blade and the original markings on them are interesting... but they aren't cheap
Went to a gun show this weekend. People are panicking again. Buying assault rifles and high capacity mags.
In this aspect I'm really pissed off with who won the election. Brady bill finally lapsed, guns came down in price... and now this shiat. Looks like it's all going to go back up.

has anyone here ever shot anyone? i have not; not yet.
Me, not personaly,
but I've been shot at, I've heard bullets whiz by and hit objects REALLY close to me, like as in a couple of feet away from me.
Once in San Diego then again in Hawaii of all places, I grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood in San Diego and I was chillin with a couple of friends of mine behind my friends house in the alley, then we notice an unfamiliar car that drove by several times, then the third time as the car stopped about thirty yards away, we saw a guy come out halfway of the passenger side window and yelled something that to this day I can't remember, then BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! .
Obviously everybody ran for their lives, myself included, I actually jumped over a five foot wall into my friends yard.
Once you experience something like that you realize that those are sounds you never forget or ever want to hear ever again.
But here is the weird thing, in Hawaii( where I live now), about ten years later, I was having a couple of beers with my girlfriend at the time in a little league baseball field(only cause it was dark enough to do whatever you wanted, without getting noticed-wink-wink, but that's another story)then all of a sudden those same familiar bullet sounds came whizzing by.
Come to find out the next day from the news paper, that there was some sort of a drug deal gone bad in the same area, where some dudes started shooting at the other guys, and it just so happens we were hanging out in the line of fire.
