Hi Chaps,
I live in Lancashire England and enjoy all types of Air Rifles and during the winter months I seem to enjoy pistol shooting more and more as I get older. I have a couple of CO2 pistols and intend to add a couple more this winter with a 1911 and possibly a Webley. Having a browse around this forum has made me realise I actually want a lot more pistols though...
I live for the day that some sort of practical pistol sport takes hold using these pistols, I am sure that their popularity would increase to include not just plinkers and collectors once the potential for competitive fun is unleashed.

Welcome Carl to our friendly forum. I’ve seen you on the AGF. Pistol owning is addictive I’m afraid.

HOWEVER ..... i didnt count on this great forum and the many splendid guns it would show me and now my small collection is rapidly approaching 60 .... I must say this is a great place to learn as i have done so enjoy the forum and happy browsing Wow I feel a bit better now! 60 is impressive and a comfort to myself as I can always justify a purchase by thinking "Im not at 60 yet". I have 13 rifles and I think 7 pistols so I am way behind. The Pellpax sale is testing my resolve as the M29 is half price... |
