I forgot to add my preferences in guns......
I like guns that are older than I am and I was born in 1941.
I currently have around 3 dozen, mostly handguns.
My four "youngsters" are a M1 Garand (which I can be forgiven
). A Chinese TT Olympia (which is a copy of the pre-war Walther Olympia so it almost qualifies). A Benelli MP95e .22 Bullseye gun (because it shoots so well in league.) And finally, a H&K USP .40, which, as far as I'm concerned, is a piece of ****. (I only have it because I bought it from my son when he was out of work. He has a year to redeem it or it's gone.)
5 or 6 years ago I picked up an Armalite AR15 just to see what all the hoopla was about. I decided I'd rather shoot my M1, so the AR is long gone.
