Gun collecting

[Sideshow Q]

If you guys haven't already, check out Recoil magazine. Lots of good content an photos by Shin Tanaka, who's a great shooter of cameras and guns.

Here's a photo I took as soon as I got the mag.

I put a few rounds (only 50) through each of my Berettas at the range last night. I am quite happy with them. I was going to post pictures of my targets, but I didn't want to brag .


(despite the fact that I am happy with them, there will be a little more getting used to them)

I actually did a little better than I thought I would with the subcompact Storm at 25 yards, though.

i always loved that sub-compact px4! very nice! i hope the decocker levers don't protrude like the full size ones. i will have to someday upgrade mine to the "stealth" levers. i wish i had either type 'C' or 'D' models.

post up that target man!

speaking of targets.. i print these targets at my work's color printers.

Thanks for the link with those targets! Very cool!

I have always been kind of a joker, so maybe I will post pics of those targets. If they don't make some people laugh...nothing will.

It is amazing how fast I went from "hate" to "love" with that PX4. I am thrilled that it is on the list for Cali as I have to go back there for a job for about 4 months, starting in a couple of weeks. I will be getting a lot of time to put rounds through it.

Edit - I just re-read my previous post and wanted to make sure that everyone got that I was making fun of myself for not shooting very well.

Edit 2 - I have not compared it to the ful size model, but the decocking lever is very pronounced on the subcompact. I'll get a picture up as soon as I get home, tonight.

Well...this is interesting.

I have been contemplating swapping out the stock on my Stoeger Double Defense coach gun with a bird's head grip. Now, of course, I am having a lot of trouble finding one for that shotgun. I am likely to have to have it custom-made.

While I was at the gun show this past weekend, I stumbled across a bird's head grip, but not for my DD. To make a long story short, I just found out that that the one I bought is for a Remington 870.

Now I can't wait to get home tonight and see if it fits MY 870. There are different designs of that shotgun.

Here is a shot of the one I found.

Here it is on my 870. I don't think I will keep it on there. But it looks pretty cool for now.

i got my safe delivered and installed on friday. it took a couple of big guys to bring it in. unfortunately it wasn't as stealthly as i would have liked it. lol. it was garbage/recycle day and the garbagemen got a nice peek at my safe. oh well. home invaders beware.

here's a few pics of it.

Yes, Pix, it appears that you have our collections well-secured. I approve.
