Actually, I'm in PA now near Pittsburgh, so not a problem at all. Time is my real issue more than anything else these days. Since I came back I did pick up a Ruger Single-Six convertable .22, but even that's been just sitting in the safe at my folks.  Maybe this winter I'll give it a whirl some weekend.
As for antique/classic firearms, in my case after working at the shop for so long I found that they were the ones I most enjoyed shooting. They always felt more suited to my grip/build, and I love the details that you just don't see on modern arms, like the colors you get in REAL bone&charcoal case hardening, etc. That said, however, I did love the Sig P220 .45 I had as well as the .44 DE, but they were the only modern pieces I owned.

Kris,
nice confirmed kill, and a head-shot as well, without a spotter! What was your range? Unfortunately, we're not allowed to take pics of OUR kills!
You are right about potential diseases from those rodents. Should of given him a dbl-tap just to make sure! 
You sure you weren't a Marine????

Ha ha! Nope...Just a squid. Range wasn't far at all as that baby Glock is good in a self defense situation where most attacks happen in close quarters obviously, but this wasn't more than 5-7 yards. I could hear him hissing, that's for sure. That nasty Golden Saber would have cracked his noggin wide open. It was grossly enough, a throat shot. The fur and blood covered the cavity. That was the penetration side I took a picture of to keep it PG-13, the exit was a little gross. He is gator food though now, thankfully before my dad got home and made stew.
Mods/Admins...sorry about the randomness...it's off topic and I was bored so I figured I would share the ol DE and the close encounter with a gross animal and elimination from infecting other critters!
Kris

HapaLynai is obviously not a shooter, said with no disrespect. the answer to your question is "Of course not. So what??" |

This is my Desert eagle. There are many like it, but this one is mine...... 
And in Miami, Florida...Yes...It could be necessary.

Or if you're like me...
Admit nothing,
Deny EVERYTHING, and
make counter accusations....
Always works for me...

There are three things that can never be too big enough,
your bank account,
your gun,
your motor....
When it's time to shoot, make sure the caliber of your weapon sarts with a 4 or 5!
WHY???
Because in the moments that follow a firefight, the only thing anyone will remember is who lived and who got 'kilt'!
LDO sends....

Nah!!! Not a hippie. And YES!!! IT is an overkill. It is more like a "conversation piece" at the range. It isn't something I would carry on my person as A. it is too visible and B. my pants would fall down. It is a neat toy and I have spend more money on other stuff that didn't nearly have the WOW effect that this does. I don't know if it is a guy thing or not. I just know that I have a handful that I like to shoot once in a while. Mostly pistols because I usually carry one (LEGALLY) if the wife and I are out somewhere late or unknown...and when travelling (That includes throughout Miami!!!)
Just a hobby I suppose. Like stamps! Only I have never heard of anyone dying from a stamp to the head. I dunno though!

Yep- Just San Fransicko! Thanks to the sick freak with the Tech 9's who shot up the law office 15 years ago or so, and to Dianne Fienstein's influence while she was here, it's easy to think that all Californians are liberals. But we don't all wear love beads and Birkenstocks.
Some of us shoot back. |

Figured I would toss in an update!
I sent Magnum Research a link to my page just to show them some of the shots of the DE in action. They greeted me with an e-mail saying looks sweet. Mail ran yesterday and I picked it up yesterday. What did I find? A bunch of Magnum Research goodies! T-Shirts, stickers, etc! I was stoked. Just figured I would post as it was pretty neat to get that stuff out of the blue.
