The local constabulary carry gen 4 Glock 19s here. They are nice. A member of the local Sherrif's SWAT team drops his daughter off at the same school bus-stop in the morning and let me take a look at his new piece when I dropped the kids off. The kids didn't bat an eye (didn't seem out of place to them).
I'll bet you that never happens in the UK
Ernest, my .357 SIG Glock (Pic forthcoming) is a Gen. 3. I know the difference in those and the 4 is the grip patterns; what else?I'll bet you that never happens in the UK

WTF... I have no words, I don't find anyone holding a gun responsible
Let me guess.. You live in the city and have never been anywhere near the countryside? But really , why would you want a gun unless you wanted to kill stuff . I wonder if paedo's have the same attitude , "Well you know, Im just looking at pictures in my own time , in private , without molesting anyone . What's the harm in that" ?
I know not quite the same thing , but you could see where im coming from

Why pick on shooting and not archery or even fencing.... both bow & arrows and swords were invented for the same purpose as the gun, and both of those like shooting, are Olympic sports.

I shot a friend's 1911 last year at his local range in France. A completely standard and original WW1 1911 and it was as accurate and reliable as it's modern equivalent. That design is pretty much perfection for a semi-auto pistol.
Yes. Few have ever topped Uncle Browning's designs. ErnestM said:
NeMiSiS,
I'll give you a talking point about your "firearm". That thing CLOSELY resembles a Smith 645 (.45ACP) which is the gun Don Johnson used in Miami Vice when he ditched the Bren 10.
That should impress the ladies, innit?
SPeaking of Bren tens are VLTOR ever going to bring it out? was supposed to be on sale last year. Any of you get to Shot show 11 and see the VLTOR stand?I'll give you a talking point about your "firearm".

True. But my favourite handgun predates even that.
The Webley .455 - in this case a Mk VI.
I fired a friend's live one a few times before the ban, and I used to have a deactivated one. Wish I'd never sold it. They are just soaked in British military and imperial history and should have the same place in our hearts that the Colt single action revolvers have in America.
But, of course, they don't.

I am off to one of the indoor ranges here in town this Friday. I don't have the collection Ernest is packing, I own five firearms. If anyone is in my zipcode though, shooting is on me! Range fees are around $20 for all day. Ammo and targets a bit more.
The massive Bass pro shops have ranges inside the stores. They have the family shooting plan. $100 a year to shoot all one wishes. Now that's a deal.

At this point, people that want to shoot 10mm should probably go Colt Delta Elite or Glock 20 or 29.

Mrs says to me just yesterday "Why don't we do that Gander Mountain shooting thingy for Valentines Day?"
Am I lucky or what?
She'll get some roses on the day
