Looks good Sonny, It an't easy snappen a cap off hand. Movie star's seem to have no problem, that is until it's a real gun in real life. Glad it work out for you. Next up?

I might take it out tomorrow again. lol

But I think everyone should have a 9mm. 

Those 92 are pretty nice!

Well walleyes totally get what you are saying but the fact is you are doing exactly what they want.

Trust me boys I fight for your right to own one when I have to, or if I had to and when I have had to. Like I said it's a personal thing I don't care for them much it has nothing to do with being divided. I'm sure there are some on here that don't bow hunt or own a bow, nor see the point in it, doesn't mean they are against it or divided on the issue. If they were legal to use freely as a rifle is I could maybe see myself owning a purpose gun, like a bear defence gun. I have no guns in my arsenal just for fun they all have a purpose even my .22's are for exterminating small rodents or chicken hunting. I own no tool just because. I own no paper  shooting fancy smancy target guns either, don't see the point in it, doesnt mean I'm against them, just don't see the point. Same as a hand gun, what can it be used for, shooting paper. Said before will say it a thousand times,,, Paper tastes like crap, why would I spend thousands of dollars to hunt it ??

I was simply replying or contributing to sonnys post regarding everyone should own one, it's not for me but I certainly enjoy reading or viewing others enjoying it.

Well then I guess my fun guns and I are in the wrong forum.

Thanks anyway.

Geez sonny lol, don't be so thin skinned man I was just trying to make conversation on here and create some dialog. Goodness sakes we need it on here. I more than enjoy your posts on your guns and shooting escapades.

Interesting point of views. I have a buddy that feels that way also Walleyes and I'm more like sonny, I love collecting guns. And like you, I know my buddy has my back when it comes to my right to have hand guns. He  tells me the same thing regarding him owning a hand gun, he feels it's not a tool he needs or can use. He also feels that I have to many guns and what good are they doing sitting in a safe to be taken out now and then, to shoot paper. Jimmy has a point that I believe also, that if more people own hand guns the more the Lib's will pay attention, but that's no reason for a person to own one if not liked, or used. I am always in favor off debates like this as I feel it brings gun owners together, in the end I think you both are on the same page, and how you use or enjoy firearms is what makes them worth fighting for. Stay together though boys, there's room in this activity for many mind sets.

It's ok man now excuse me while I go outside and play.

Hi Jimmy:

First of all I am not posting to cause an argument. I know we are dealing with a very touchy issue.

I am not quite sure about the tools thing you said.

My Mother used to pack a handgun when she rode a horse to look for cattle.

Before the registration, I had a little "Lever Arms"  AR that was pretty helpful during calving season.  The gun hating neighbors ran coyotes over with snowmobiles.  The ones that got away died of frozen lungs. Not good.

When I worked on the Cold Lake Reserve, our native brethren treated guns like tools.  They were in a large pile at one guy's place, and you went over to get whatever was there when you wanted one. No real ownership issues.

Tools yes.

Works of Art...yes.

Sporting Goods...Absolutely

Collectors Items...Absolutely



Cheers and Best Wishes.

An argument could be made for most anything in our life's that are not tools.  No one is walking around stark naked picking ants up with there fingers having a snack.

Within reason the more money spent the better care and respect the firearm will receive.  There were no Merkel sxs rifles in that pile at cold lake reserve in fact you could say there was nothing of any real value there in the first place and they treat them as such.  Some may have worked others not so much.

We could also have a similar discussion  in the difference in a firearm and a weapon, lots of dead police officers out there with empty guns before the shooting started have to wonder if they treated there service pistols like tools.

We are just talking here BTW no hurt feelings please.

Went back to the range today and took three handguns. A .22 a 9mm and a .45 auto.

I like the big bang of the .45 but I'm way more accurate with the 9mm.

As for the .22 what can I say,everyone loves a .22lr.

Sonny:

Now that you took your little Italian out the range it may be time for a comparison.  Hope you have some ammo saved up .

Perhaps you should compare your 9mm with a little Belgian, or Canadian (Inglis) Hi Power. 

And do not forget an Austrian Glock, or Swiss Sig. 

I am also sure someone has a little 9mm Luger  kicking around in your neighborhood.

Life is so wonderful with a little variety. Especially in the 9mm.
