My 1911. It's a clone, but it has been absolutely flawless for me in over 2000 rounds and counting. I did a LOT of kitchen table gunsmithing on this one to smooth it up and out and get it running like a top.

This is a rifle I no longer own. It is a heavily modified Mosin-Nagant 91/30. This particular rifle was manufactured in 1938 and had been in storage ever since. It was never issued.

This rifle, after the mods, was accurate enough that I passed the milk jug challenge at a rifle range back in my home state of Wyoming. Gallon milk jug at 1000 yards. Took me two shots. I sold the rifle to a guy at the range that very day.

This is a Ruger 10/22 that was built into a bullpup stock. I bought the upper receiver online and had that shipped to my FFL, but the rest was sourced piece by piece, assembled and tested, and then put into the stock.

This little rifle is FUN to shoot.

I remember you talking about this. It turned out great! Well done. Well done.

What kind of scope is that? Seems kinda odd for HD purposes.

The picture is kind of old, and I don't have that scope on the bullpup anymore. I put that scope on there for when I went rabbit hunting last winter. Now I've got a red-dot sitting on the top of that rail and that's what I use for when I'm at the range.
 
I'd post my guns, but they are not nearly as interesting.

And I sadly lost ALL of them in a boating accident :P

I was not a Glock fanboy until I realized my practical reasons for Glock carrying made me one.

You can't beat light weight, high capacity, reasonable pricing, and reputation.

Yeah Desdichado, they can if you don't use the recommended ammo, alot of people try to throw either cheap or low powered ammo into them and they don't cycle properly like that.

I heard they have a lot of jamming issues.

I like air pistols, they make holes in paper, do not hurt people and take as much
skill as a high powered rifle designed to kill at over a mile.

I have no intention of killing anyone.

An air rifle seemed pointless, too much power.
I have shot .22 rifles, but when it came down to heart beats and shaking,
timing when to shoot on my biology, I began to wonder why I was even
bothering.

I have wondered at the subconscious desire to blow people away, and
suppressed aggression, which has been shown in some guys who blow away
school mates etc. but hey, climbing, running, cycling seem such more better
pursuits, so I stopped shooting a long time ago.....

Now, see.... you did pretty well until you said the rifle was designed to "KILL" at over a mile. That would be like my saying that your air pistol was designed to shoot someone's eye out at 25 feet..... that is NOT what it was designed to do. Will it do it? Of course, but that is not the intended purpose of the design.

There are many rifles that are designed to punch holes in paper at long distances. Heck, the newer bolt action and autoloading rifles chambered for the .50 BMG cartridge were not designed for killing people. The .50 BMG was designed to be an anti-materiel cartridge... for shooting mechanical things (like trucks and airplanes) to make them not work any more.

Not every firearm is designed to kill people.

And, saying that people (young guys) have a subconscious desire to blow people away is fairly prejudicial, don't you think? I certainly have no desire to do that, nor did I have that desire when I was younger.

Young men did not shoot up schools until recent history.... co-incidentally in the same era as violent video games realistically enacting shooting people, and the prevalent use of psycho-tropic, mood/personality-changing prescription drugs.

If you do a modicum of research, I believe you will find that EVERY one of the school shooters was either on, or recently discontinued the use of one of those types of drugs.
 
This is my 1911 airgun. Its as solid and heavy as a real one and it recoils and disassembles like a real one too.
