Hi,
I know what my user name says, but I’m Dan really! 😊
So I used to shoot powder burning handguns in the UK back in the day before the blanket ban in 97.
Once I’d been relieved of my FAC 1 by our local constabulary I moved over to FAC 2 and shotguns for clay pigeon shooting, which I’ve done for over 25 years!
Whilst at one of my clay pigeon shooting mates houses, he set us up plinking in his back garden with a .177 replica Glock 17….all the old feelings and magic came back and I was hooked. 😉
I’ve since gone on to start collecting Military and LE sidearms. To date I have - Beretta 92fs (because I used to own the 9mm version), Glock 17 (x2….don’t ask), Walthers - CP88, CP99 and PPQ M2, Sig Sauer P226 and a Smith & Wesson M&P 45. All are .177 pellet firing, some are blowback and some aren’t.
I have set up a 6m indoor range in my garage and 10-15m in my garden. Mostly can bashing but I have become more interested in going down the action shooting route and am interested in IPAS.
I look forward to chatting with you all at some point.
Dan 👍

We're a friendly bunch of guys, so feel free to ask any questions you want and we'll do our very best to help you out.

If you're needing any more information on posting pictures to the forum then go HEREAll that's left is to officially welcome you to the forum, so...
