At the time I already had a wonderful M1A and, at the time, I was not in the market for an AR or any similar milspec weapon. However, I did buy a number of 20 round magazines for my M1A, I think they were 45 dollars apiece before the ban. The only high capacity pistol I owned was a Ruger P-89. A huge thing!!! A friend of mine wanted it and around the time he wanted it I found a S&W 5903 SSV that I really liked so I sold him the Ruger and bought the S&W. Bought additional hi-cap magazines for it, too.

To this very day that 5903 SSV is still a safe queen, my only unfired weapon.

I will never forget Bill Clinton telling Congress that if they passed "the Brady Bill, I'll sure sign it."
