When I started up with the firearms hobby again I pretty much knew what I liked.
Old school stuff.
Some little Browning 22's designed in the early 20th century , several S&W revolvers from the mid 20th and a target pistol. I was good to go.
They are all blued guns with wooden stocks.
I kept on collecting things , an auto load pistol cal. carbine , a pocket gun, a 1911 style 9.
One of the last ones was a SS , DW and I did my home work and decided that that gun would work for me and found one used. It was the Stainless thing thats so popular , which wasn't my preference but the price was right and I bought it.
I sort of hated on it when it arrived but now that I can shoot it better that stainless don't look so bad.
The Glocks I find utterly charmless but they function and in the right hands are accurate. They are good tools , but undesirable to me.
I will say this , the modern guns I do own are excellent, accurate and trouble free.
So thats a good thing right ?
