Just found this forum. I have been collecting co2 replica handguns for about 5 or 6 years. I retired from the Army in 1992 and it all started with wanting to have the guns I carried while in service. I do own powder burning guns but found it hard to shoot because of cost and location. So my first gun was John Wayne replica 1911. I could shoot all I wanted. Didn’t brother anyone and was still just punching holes in paper. So it began. It ended with a very complete collection of all handguns used since the Civil war by American, German, British and USSR Armed Forces and a few extra just added in. Still love to shoot and maintain my collection. But am starting to wonder what will happen to it when I’m gone currently 73 and health is not so good.
