    yip , its good fun when on hols to have a shot of such items. the power in the ak is scary to say the least lol.next time i'm in cambodia it'll be the m16.
    my friend shot the uzi but said it was tame in compariston to the ak.

    i just realised how mad, that must sound to some , the uzi was tame.

    I got some guns...

    At present... my daily 'carry' is a Springfield Armory 1911-A1 .45acp auto. It's got an extended muzzle brake 'n WWI type wood grips but otherwise it's 'military'. 'Had that for about 20 years.

    (Art 26 Arizona Constitution: The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves or the state shall not be impaired.) No permit need for open carry. I do have an AZ CCW tho... for those few times I wear a jacket or raincoat. (hot here)

    Other stuff:
    Ruger Vaquero SAA .45LC (Long Colt) (Same as Colt Peacemaker)
    Walther P-38 9mm auto
    Thallmann Mararov 9x18mm auto
    Colt 1851 Navy .36 cal C&B (BP) revolver
    Taurus " The Judge " 45LC/410 (shotgun) Tracker 5 shot revolver

    (Wife's)
    Charter Arms .38spl 5 shot revolver
    Daewu DI40 .40 cal auto

    'Have had;
    S&W Mod 239 9mm auto
    S&W Mod 36 .38 spl 5 shot revolver
    Luger P-08 9mm auto
    Mauser C96 (China) .45acp
    S&W Mod 10 .38spl 6 shot revolver

    I want:

    Sig P220 .45acp
    Another Ruger Vaquero .45LC
    Another P-08 9mm


    Since this is 'pistols'... I'm not gettin' into the 'hit parade' long guns. Some of those are scary.

    I've got to move to Arizona!

    Actually, I went to Sonora a few years ago - lovely place. I remember going to a bar there that had guns for sale under the glass counter, but that could have been Sedona!

    Used to own:

    Reck Peacemaker
    Walther GSP .22
    Colt Python .357
    Cold King Cobra .357
    Colt Gold Cup .45
    Tanfoglio P19S 9mm Maj
    Custom Built S&W K Frame PPC .38
    Custom Built Tanfoglio Gold Team 9mm Maj

    Reloaded my centre fire ammo, shot many thousands of rounds. Other club members had some great collections, over the years we got to fire just about every interesting make of pistol, including some very interesting classic revolvers.

    Ahh.. those were the days. Have to make do with air pistols nowadays, but at least I can shoot them in the house.

    Our of interest, is that the original belguim de fabrique? Are you a lefty, why did you put ambidexterous safety on? The Browning is probably one of the most comfortable pistols for concealed carry imo

    P.S. To knowledgeable Colt shooters: Is there any benefit/difference in the Commander series 80 over the series 70 at all?

    Yes, I have fired cartridge pistols: .22, .38 Special, 9mm, .45. I like revolvers; don't like or trust automatics very much.

    I prefer air pistols to cartridge, for pure shooting fun: little in the way of legal restriction, recoil, noise, penetration or cleaning, and you don't have to make a special trip somewhere to shoot them.

    In the good old days I had a Colt .45 1911, Browning Hi Power, S&W mod 19, .357mag, S&W chief special (5 shot .38, 2" barrel), Tanfoglio D/A 9mm, Uberti "rolling block" (single shot 8" barrel) M1 carbine, Rossi lever action .357 and a few others.

    I used to work for a company called Parker Hale who made sporting rifles and one day had a chance to test fire a .458 winchester magnum. It's the kind of thing they use to shoot elephant........ MAJOR KICK.
