^^^^^And the rest are of course an assortment of knives, ammo, gun cleaning equipment, tomahawks, and mag lights. :)

I considered buying the Bersa at one time but decided on the EAA 380, it is a little bit smaller. The european style mag. catch was the only thing that took getting use too.

The gun with the wood handle was 125.00, the black plastic handle gun was 175.00. That was about 10 and 13 years ago and these are still my main CCW guns. The only rounds they can not feed are the silver case CCI ammo, for some reason when they feed those rounds, the bullet gets compressed into the case and you get a very violent discharge.

Nice, I'll have to look into it.

I recently just bought a box of Blazer .380 ACP with the aluminum casing which I believe is made by CCI.

I haven't shot it through my Bersa yet, though, so we'll have to see if its good.

A Remington Model 8A, it was this type of gun, not this gun, that was credited with shooting Clyde Barrow. Except Deputy Prentiss Oakley used a model 8A with a twenty round magazine in 35 Remington. The gun I have only has a 5 round magazine and is caliber 30 Remington. A 30 Remington round with a blow back barrel that is a blast to shoot. To me the 30 Remington is a close match to the 30-30.

After 7 months of waiting, my CHL finally came in yesterday!!!!! :2ar15:

Congrats, I got mine the first year Nevada allowed them. Never had to use it, but it is comforting to know you have the means to protect yourself if needed. It also keeps you more aware of your surroundings which allows you to remove yourself from suspicious situations.

Yes, I agree. I was always a cautious person, but after I took the course, I felt even more aware than I already was.

Not to mention, they put the fear of God into you here when it comes to concealment and use.

Man, that was a such a great day. :yes:

Spending all day at the course and then going to a party that night.

Guns and alcohol: the perfect mix. ;)

I'm jealous. I've been wanting a Springfield forever.

If you live long enough, their is always a chance of inheriting some guns. 50% of my guns I did not have to buy. They are reminders of other people no longer around. Two more inherited guns. Guns with octagon barrels are just unique.

Most of my guns have been inherited as well. But no one I know has a Springfield '03.

I hear I MIGHT be inheriting my great grandfathers Winchester Model 12 sometime in the future. :D

A gold brushed Ruger 10/22, bought when gold was considerably cheaper. Number 93 was requested because it was the year my wife and I were married.

Ruger 10/22s are a great rifle for plinking around with.

And its so versatile, you can turn it into whatever you need.

^^ That gun is a non-shooter, along with the Canadian guns. The oldest gun I have, also a non-shooter, I'm not willing to risk any damage to it is this Winchester. You are able to see the difference in craftsmanship from this gun when compared to my newest level action, a Marlin 44 mag. It amazes me that the craftsmanship from over 100 years ago surpasses anything made today.View attachment 3051
