I might have to start here. Singer Sewing Machine company WW2 effort 1911A1. So rare...so expensive. Yikes

My youngest son used to go shoot with one of the neighbors when he was 12 years old. Good times!

That Thompson runs empty in about 2 seconds!

Glock 20
Most of the Alaska guys r ditching the big bore 6 shooters for the glock 20 for grizz protection.
Many rounds vs 1 o r 2

I like to hunt with my guns (and have meat left over to eat ) so nothing full rock n roll. I'd start with the Henry catalog and cross off the shitty ones that shine and buy the rest .

That's awesome! Those original Thompson's made for WWII are pretty reasonable guns. They made so many back in the day.

Pistols:

The CZ75 Shadow 2



Have seen several up close on my NI shooting visits but have never shot one... I know I'd love it though.


Also, the most beautiful pistol ever imo, the Beretta 84 in .380 with wood grips:




Rifles: I would have to move to another country for these but... Iv'e always had a hankering for a plain old M1 Garand, also a Mini 14 (I'm aware of the older accuracy issues) and probably an AR15 in a Vietnam M16 aesthetic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b6xkfToB50. Those would all be on my newly acquired house in Texas somewhere, out in the middle of bleeding nowhere. Nothing special to you guys but you can only own those rifles as straight-pulls here. Not hugely bothered by full-auto, would definitely like a go though. I suppose a real deal MP5 would be very cool if money were no object and I lived in the States.

What quickly comes to mind is a Les Baer ar10, and a Steyer AUG. It wouldnt take long and I would need a whole gun house rather than a gun room. HAHA

That Beretta is pretty sweet but I always had a bit of a stiffie for a HK P7 squeezecocker. After years of looking I stumbled across what appeared to be a near new 1993 P7M8 at Collectors Firearms in Houston. Even better, it was "reasonably priced". Couldn't say no so I snapped it up. Got it home and upon closer inspection have to say that it has never been fired, maybe not even test fired at the factory unless they cleaned it up really good. I bought it to shoot, but here a couple years later, still unfired. Such neat guns and supposed to be laser accurate.



A P7 in nickle finish with Nils grips is pure sex.

Oh yeah nice! I heard about those before, widely considered to be one of the finest pistols ever made - I know they use a different system for the gas blowback don't they, meant to be very pleasent to shoot. What a find! Too nice not to be taken to the range mate.

There ya go. If you're going to buy a gun, might as well get one that comes with its own airplane.

I'd probably spend some money with Jesse James. I like his style in both motorcycles and firearms.

Those vectors look pretty nifty and got good reviews from the gun magazines but I know a girl (she rents sport bikes out in the deals gap area) that got one in 9mm and had nothing but trouble with it. Sent it back to get fixed and it was returned exactly the same. She swore they were a POS. Ill probably never get one for that reason alone.
