I had one of those P90 Rugers when they came out in the 90s and sold it pretty quick because it felt big and I couldn't get consistent groupings compared to the 1911. Bought an S&W M&P Pro for USPA and really liked that.

I would not identify the P90 among my most accurate guns. Still fun to shoot, but not going to enter any contests with it.

I once had the Glock 27. . . .
We have identified the problem. :D The early ones had a crappy grip-barrel angle. The newer ones have copied . . . . what? . . . . the 1911. S&W copied it from the start. I had an H&K .40 USP for a while. Smoothest shooting .40 I've ever shot. (BTW H&K is my favorite, just can't afford them) H&K said right up front that they copied the best functions from this, that, and the other thing.

My oldest kid loves his Glocks, and my youngest just traded his S&W Shield for the Glock version. He wanted something different, and his big brother convinced him of the Glock superiority. o_O Turns out the Glock isn't as accurate, but is easy to shoot.

Everybody has their favorites. All depends on you're comfortable with.

I definitely had a early one...and it definitely sucked! It was my first and last Glock.

Of all the brands we've owned, I'd probably give the edge to my wife's Sig for quality/design.

Motorcycle helmet, gun, fire extinguisher...all things I hope i will never NEED to use in life. Also all things I don't want to be without if I do NEED to use any of them.

I have a lot of things I don’t need. I need to get rid of a lot of things I don’t use. I do however use my firearms on a regular basis. Just like any other tool, some are suited better for a particular task.
This is a Chinese pellet gun. For its cost it works well. It dispatched a couple of English Sparrows just today. Quite effective out at 50 yards. It’s not considered a “firearm” and can be shot in city limits where I live. Your results may vary. 62B88259-FF33-445F-8A89-E12805A1F566.jpeg

Okay, helmet, fire extinguisher, how about a first aid kit, or a rain coat, ya know a few useful things. Maybe a Bible??

I haven't used a rain coat in a l-o-o-o-o-n-g time. :rolleyes:
I always pack a rain suit, jacket and pants. If it's not raining, but a bit cold, put the rain suit on for additional protection....rain gear is not only for water protection...Frog Togs is an excellent brand.

Have a good link for one of these? I need something for the rock squirrels that have been undermining my house. I haven't had much luck trapping and they just keep mining away. Can't gas them out because it's under the house; I'd do that with an outbuilding. Any and all suggestions gratefully accepted. Wife and city say I can't use my Glock Mod 45.

I don’t think they are available anymore. I think I bought this at a Cummins (????) tool sale. Chinese tools.
