For a hand gun I like my 380 small so you can hide it but very nice and very smooth. Oh and I use star fire hollow points in it

Y'all are giving me some GS-modification ideas...

If you get the chance to shoot some black powder firearms do it, cause theyre a hoot. 

A lot of the firearms you guys are talking about are illegal down here, but it's still possible to have a enough firearms to arm a small army. 

Good shooting pablo.  I also suggest the .45 ACP.  After a couple scares on night calls (I am a locksmith who provides 24 hour service ) I got my conceal and carry.  I use a 1991A1 Colt Officer .45acp.  Its really easy to handle, compact but heavy.  The weight in a pistol helps absorb the recoil, which is part of the problem with any polymer framed pistol.  I recently bartered lock work with the gun shop for a Remington 742 .30-06 that I am having a blast expending mil surplus ammo through at an alarming pace.  Now looking for a shotgun to try skeet, it a disease I promise.

^^ yet another expensive hobby I'm trying to avoid...

speaking of "hobbies"...

How far along are you with the CBR repairs from your last incident?

Also...  was that a plastic covering on the tank?  If so, where'd you get it?

How come so few use revolvers anymore?

Those monster sights are much easier to acquire in a draw and shoot encounter.

I prefer wheel guns to autos, specially my .357 S&W    I also have a .44 cap & ball BP revolver which is a hoot 

Dang  I didn't Know there were So many Firearm Freaks on here. I'd rather Shoot than to Sleep. Course all I have are Some .22's and a .410 but get to Shoot my Dads and Uncles Arsenal.My Favorite is my .22 Ruger Mk1 Target pistol.I actually got Enough Practice in that I could Drill a bulls Eye at a little over 50Yds.I've lost practice though and would be Lucky to even hit the Target. I use my Ruger for just about Everything Rat Hunting,Carrying with me while House Setting, ETC.I even have a place for it over my Bedroom Door with 2 Full Clips ready for Crank Addicts.Depending on Which Clip I pick up they are Going to have 10 rounds of CCI Hollow points in them or 10 Rounds of Rat Shot.If they're still around and Alive After the First Clip they're gong to Have Both in them.

My wife feels the same way, she loves her wheel guns.  Her daily carry piece is a .38  but her favorite in our collection is our Colt Peacemaker.  For a carry piece, I prefer semi-auto.  I usually carry a Colt 1911 Mk IV Series 70 in .45 or at work due to the need for a more conceilable piece I carry a KelTec P32.

Here are a few pics of some of our collection. 

Wow dude you've got some nice guns there

the cbr comes standard with a plastic cover. helps save weight I guess-sucks with a tank bag but great for the track as its so much easier to swap out.

Got the bike back together last week but discovered a hole in my coolant resevoir bottle, possibly from before the crash (which would explain it running hot that morning). Made the mistake of ordering the bottle online instead of at dealer (saved a few dollars but had to wait over a week for it). Finally got that installed yesterday. Took it for a test run around the neighborhood...to discover my battery died. At least I hope its my battery-has all the tell-tale signs of dead battery, and its the original from may, 04. Had to push the bike home over a mile...still sore from that one. Bought a multi-meter to test battery. I'll test it tomorrow and if its dead I'll replace it tomorrow. Hopefully that will do it. Still missing the frame slider replacements but that wont stop me from riding.

I have 2 revolvers one is a 22 but the other shoots 410 shot gun shells.  It's called a snake gun.

I'd love to own an M1 carbine.  They're awesome little guns.

I'm not huge into target shooting, though.  No patience.  I do go trap shooting almost every week, though.  It's a ton of fun, shooting at moving targets.  It's also great practice for hunting.  I get the impression that most bird hunters out there can't shoot for crap.  I can knock down pretty much any bird I shoot at.

I try to go shooting at least two or three times a month.  A friend of mine who lives about 5 min. away has a 100 yd. range on his property.  Comes in handy cause I've got enough guns to outfit a small army.

What are the rules about setting up your own range? Do you need a ton of empty room behind the range? Concrete walls?

I honestly don't know the exact rules for setting up a range.  I do know that the range at my friends house has a 6 foot stack of railroad ties buried in a few truckloads full of dirt and 5 acres of his woods behind it, you would have to do something pretty amazing to have a bullet miss the backstop!
