Firearms are fascinating pieces of equipment that have specific purposes for a job, thus so many calibers and configurations In addition to the history of the firearm themselves as well as the manufacturers. Truly amazing tools that are collected by many of us to be appreciatedI was always surprised how many weapons the population of America has
Yup, and easier to keep hidden from the wife. And usually, not always, less expensive than cars.. . . . And they take up a lot less room than car collections.
Thanks. Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn.Well put @Sierra1. . . .
Haha, Nice proverbThanks. Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn.
Haha, you noticed I did not talk about the price, so true.Yup, and easier to keep hidden from the wife. And usually, not always, less expensive than cars.
That's one step beyond concealed carry.Yup, and easier to keep hidden from the wife. And usually, not always, less expensive than cars.
Me too with the antiques inherited from my Dad.I've driven all the vehicles I own. I can't say I've shot all the firearms I've collected.
Following Keltec's lead (13 years too late)?Have y'all seen what the Smith M&P auto loaders have been chambered in? 30+1 22 magnum. They've also done the same pistol in the 5.7. Gas operated delayed bolt, looks like new tech to me. Ugly, but pretty slick tech.
Ugly? Enh. Eye of the beholder and all. I'm not sure the why for the .22 WMR. Easy to shoot, but ammo is kinda high. Just like the 5.7. I have the Ruger version and love it. Wishing it was easier to conceal; shoots like a dream. Fiocchi had the 5.7 selling at about 50 cents/rd, but it's gone up recently. They also started making sub-sonic 5.7. But that doesn't make sense. Impact = mass x velocity. The 5.7 doesn't have much mass, but it's moving at 1,900-2,100 fps. Dropping the speed to subsonic, is going to reduce its effectiveness substantially.. . . . Ugly, but pretty slick tech.
