Guns guns and more guns!

I LOVE riding and hunting put ’em together and I’m in heaven!

The wife was just saying "you don’t need another gun , what is wrong with what you got?"……….she just don’t understand you need one or two for every species hunted!

I have: a 30-06, a 308, an old 303 british, a 300 win mag, a 30-30, a 7×57 brno, a 32special lever, many old cooey 22s(4 I think), a 20 guage single, a 12ga double barrel from God only knows when, a 12ga pump and a 410 bolt action……….and now I passed a course for archery so I’ll be shopping for crossbows as well………..the wife says its just too many! I don’t what say you? What do you collect?

9mm Day!

Did 100 rounds of 9mm today….Ruger SR9-C and the Walther PPX. Good shooting pistols, very mild recoil. :banana: After shooting the PPX today, its really growing on me….nice gun. It doesn’t look that bad either.

Also have a Taurus Millenium G2 9mm and a Ruger SR40-C.:peace:

Bought a Walther PPX 9mm today

At the local gun-show……$380 out the door! I’m heading out this evening for a round of test firing.:lala:

I’m not a huge fan of the looks, but its a solid gun and the price can’t be beat…..sticker was $350.

I now have (3) 9mm’s and a 40 cal. :peace:
I also have one of the maglula pistol mag loaders, they’re awesome.
