Why did I buy a pistol ???
Hi all,
Well the reason goes like this;
In July I will be 50 and I have been thinking of ways to mark this achievement with my friends.
Most of my friends are interested in shooting and will always have a go with my rifle whenever the opportunity arises. But very few of them actually own a gun.
So I came up with an idea to have some fun whilst giving a few of these guys an excuse to go out and buy a gun.
I needed to ‘level’ the playing field so rifles were out as I would be accused of having an unfair advantage.
Having only used a GAT when I was about 11 and some cheapo springer pistol a few years later, I would not class myself as experienced with a pistol.
So ‘pistols at dawn’ it had to be .
The plan works like this;
Each of us has a maximum budget of £50 with which to purchase a pistol (new or used), 500 rounds of ammo & CO2 if required.
We will then meet up, on my birthday, to shoot 50 rounds each at 10 yards.
We all have a good time and everyone gets to go home with a new toy – and hopefully a new hobby .
As a result, I have bought an Anics Beretta A-9000 S, off of this bbs, for just £40! And I have not stopped playing with it since .
I am well and truly hooked on pistols now.
Cheers, Mark
