Pointy and shooty often go together- I have a range of EDC (Every Day Carry) of both that depends on the outfits and time of year so I never go withoutWow! How have I missed this entire thread for over a year?! I just read all 11 pages of it.
I bought a little S&W revolver last year. It's a 38sp +p. It only holds 5 rounds, so I have to be a good shot! This was 10 rounds I shot at the store's indoor range the day I picked it up.

I think I did OK, even if the target was at 10ft! I don't plan on shooting anyone more than 10 ft away from me! I think I surprised the store employee who was with me.
Anyway, it's not the 1st gun I've owned, but the 1st in CA. I had a CCW in PA many years ago, but to get one here in Imperial Co is almost impossible. Basically if you're not in law enforcement or security, you can't get the permit. But I do have a number now for someone who teaches CCW. Since the lawsuit in NY was won, there is a better chance of getting it. It's on my list of things to do.
I sure can't keep up with all the lingo you folks use, but I enjoyed reading all of it. Oh, and I did something you all will probably think is completely out of character for me...I joined the NRA! But I don't expect to become a gun totin' mama with an AK15. That would be out of character! 😅
And I also have a collection of 🔪
🔪🗡️🗡️. Nothing valuable, just ones I've liked and bought. I think they are beautiful works of art, and I don't even have anything fancy.
Not bad shooting there!Wow! How have I missed this entire thread for over a year?! I just read all 11 pages of it.

I always practice just grabbing my hand gun and firing. No real aiming involved.Pointy and shooty often go together- I have a range of EDC (Every Day Carry) of both that depends on the outfits and time of year so I never go without
Russian ammo needs Russian magazinesYou sound good Z, going back to work must agree with you! My son still has a stash under the bed in the little bedroom

A lot of the American members of this forum seem to be gun owners. I understand that in most other countries, this "culture" seems odd.
This is a show us your guns thread. Let's keep it without politics or discussions of WHY we should or should not own them.
I'll begin with this one of many:
My Beretta Pico .380 carry gun. For me it's the perfect balance of protection and size. It drops right into my front pants pocket.
I'm almost never without it and I'm licensed to carry it.
I moved upstate AZ last Nov and realized I live within hearing distance of a shooting range. Im pro 2nd A. And of course I own a weapon for protection.A lot of the American members of this forum seem to be gun owners. I understand that in most other countries, this "culture" seems odd.

Sometimes I just take a liking to some people and I don't know why. Sometimes I find out later on down the road why I liked them so much in the first place. Like today.Wow! How have I missed this entire thread for over a year?! I just read all 11 pages of it.

Must be nice! Here in CA it's no more than 10, for law abiding folks.a handful of 20 round clips and a 30 round clip just for fun.
I extended the one clip to a 30 round but the pistol came brand new with three 20 round clips. To be honest the 30 round clip never leaves home it is ridiculous hanging out of the gun.Must be nice! Here in CA it's no more than 10, for law abiding folks.
