Just wondering how many of our Beckerheads, and non Beckerhead forumites are also firearm friendly.
Let me know;
if you like to shoot
what you like to shoot,
and pics of what you have are welcome.

Just a getting to know you kinda thread.
I am buying a camera and will be posting proper pis real soon, instead of the crappy phone pics that I have posted to date ..lol.

If I can't say that please feel free to delete.
 
Oh yes. Own a few of those :thumbup:

Might post a couple of pics later.
 
Used to hunt rabbits, deer, migratory birds, even upland game. Sold all my guns off years ago. I used to like knocking down big geese. A large Canada will make an audible thump when it hits the ground and bounce after getting a swat from high brass # 2's.
 
Between what I inherited from my father and what I've bought on my own, I've got enough guns of one sort or another to send Hillary Clinton into a coma. The ones that I favor shooting the most are:

Colt Lightweight Commander .45acp
S&W 25-5 .45 LC
Ruger Security Six .357 Magnum
various .22 rifles and handguns
same for shotguns

My latest acquisitions are:
Walther P22
Kahr CW45
(both of which function flawlessly, despite bad reviews)

And the first real "toy" gun that I've bought in a whole lot of years:
Henry Mare's Leg .22
(which I haven't had much time to shoot as of yet)

My 2 primary carry guns are both old timers, just like me:
Colt Cobra .38 Spl
Star Starfire .380
 
I like guns, and I like to shoot, but I don't currently own any. Yet. For now. Hopefully to be rectified before too long.
 
I am a gun guy first.
I am a Glock fan, to me Glocks are like Becker knives, The most bang for your buck.
I also like single action Rugers.
AR's and leverguns are great.
Bolt action Remington model 7 and Mausers are hard to beat.
Ruger 10-22 best 22 IMHO.

Just pics up one of these.
Ruger bisley 44spc 4-5/8 barrel.

I guess you could say I love guns. I am one of 13 master firearms trainers for a state agency. I shoot competitively and hunt. I love big boar handguns. 44 magnum on up but I really love my 454 Casull. I carry Glock's on duty and off.
 
hell yes. In Canada so handguns are a hassle and useless IMO (illegal for self defence only can be shot at a range) were definitely well armed here though with a fair amount of
military surplus beauties/bargains and shotguns. Hoping to get into hunting next year because we have it so good up here.
 
My name's Murphnuge and I'm a gunaholic. Won't go in too much detail, but I have what I need and plenty more of stuff I just wanted. The list of guns to get is longer all the time. Like knives, there are guns I won't own and those I covet.

Winchester Mod 70 Stealth. 308 w/Unertl Vulture 10x43 and of course the BK&T Patrol Machete.

I currently own;
a Para-ordinance P-13 limited 1911 style 45
a Remington 1187 police 18" 12 gauge
a Ruger Mini 30 carbine

I plan to move some stuff around, and or maybe just buy some more.

Looking at;
a custom Remington 870
a custom built AR style rifle
possibly a single stack custom 1911 45, something better for concealed carry than my current pistol.

Been a shooter since I was a kid, not much of a hunter though unless its for food sake.
 
When I hunt deer, I use older Winchester Mods. 88 & 100 in .308

For Grouse, and Pheasant if lucky, it’s a Benelli, Montefeltro 12ga.

I plink w/ Ruger 10-22s and a MK II in .22lr

I protect my person w/ an S&W mod. 638, 38 spl. +P

I protect my home w/ a Remmie 870 Tactical, w 12ga. 3 in #4. Don’t come uninvited!:eek:

But for Range time::p
