Hello, my name is Doug.
My interest in guns started at the age of 5 or so, my mum use to say. Looking at old photos from the late fifties I was always wearing a cowboy hat and had a cap pistol holstered around my waist.
The interest was always their, but took a back seat until the early eighties when I joined a local pistol club. Many good years and lots of pistols bought and sold.
Despite government interference over the years my love of shooting, particularly handguns has never wained.
After the handgun ban I got heavily involved with air cartridge guns, particularly the high end Uberti guns, in fact I was so involved with buying and selling that it almost turned into a full time job.
After the law change with air cartridge I got into air-soft guns, mainly the high end all steel pistols, again buying and selling to a big extent. I did sell off my collection last year, apart from my Desert Eagle.
As I still shot in a club I concentrated on more serious target shooting, and I own several Steyr pistols.
Happy with just the Steyr’s until recently, and then reading about and seeing pictures of friends Co2 guns got me wanting a few more replicas, and now I have joined the Sportsman Association and can buy air-soft again, money has been spent.
