Real pistols

[sheene]

It;s the only way! Convince the missus about Miami-lovely place to go in January, cheap, polite people, good hotels and crazy gun laws. When i go there, I see kids as young as 14-15 come in and hire handguns in semi/full auto plus fully automatic rifles-MP5, AKs you name it. $30 dollars to hire a S&W .50 for the hour and rounds at $15 per 50. Mind you with cases in rifle length. it sur will hurt your wrist over an hour. BTW saw a kid once come in and use a S&W .44. He was 10 years old, it was ok though as he had a responsible adult with him. His 16 year old brother!

Place I go to. Not quite Miami, down town Doral. You need a gun there just walk around and feel safe. A few times when I go there you see a few pimps turn up in their cars with their hoes (gardening instrument) to shoot their AKs etc!

That looks like the sort of thing I'd enjoy Alex...never been to the States, we tend to go to the Greek Islands most of the time but maybe I'll convince the wife we need a change.....

During the good old days I had:-

s/h Colt 1911 (had been "modified" and was crap, wouldn’t feed semi wadcutter ammo, took it back for a refund)

New Colt 1911 Gold Cup. Was then worked on by a superb gunsmith. A fantastic pistol, but not ideally suited for pure target shooting. Sold it. (the new owner ended up accidently shooting someone in the pub whilst demonstrating the superb trigger )

Dan Wesson .44 in 4 & 6 inch barrels. ditto above. A fantastic stress relieving pistol.

s/h Model 41 S&W .22. Superb!

Sako TriAce .32. Was superb but the rear of the breech was not milled properly and would jam at least once per mag. took it back for a refund.

Walther .32 GSP. Nice gun but too front heavy for me.

Walther .22 OSP Very nice.

IMO shooting a PCP target air pistol demands exactly the same skills as that for a firearm. Having said this, the only difference perhaps is that with a firearm pistol it can be easy to get influenced by the savage recoil and noise which in turn can lead to flinching.

Hey ThaiJamie
Liked the AK! For a minute I thought you were given a single action only....until you didn't let go of that trigger!

Guys

Isn't it a shame that over here we can't use firearms for our enjoyment but at least (for now) we can still partake in pistol shooting of some kind or firearms in the form of rifls.

[thaijamie]

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.

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!

Sedona is in the Sonora Desert... a bit south of me. Yep... I LIKE it here!

So 2 pistols of yours were used to demonstrate trigger mechanisms on people in pubs then eh?

[Pete R]

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.
