    M38 pics (and the rest of the family)

    Very nice pics. I have never shot an M38 but I will try when I get the chance. Finnish M39 is fun to shoot, though, so I am not completely unfamiliar with Mosin-Nagants.

    Thin 9mms?

    Try also Walther P99. I have about small to medium size hands and feel very comfortable with CZ-75. When I tried a P99 it felt almost too small for me. According to its owner it had the mid-size backstrap installed.

    Any feedback on Norinco Sig P226/P228 clones

    I have tried a couple of those P226 clones and I like them. Fit and finish look nice even compared to the real thing. Trigger is better on a real Sig but Norincos are not bad, either. I haven't noticed any difference in accuracy but that might be just because of my limited shooting skills...

    Handy everyday knife

    Mora knives are great. I have also a couple of them. When it comes to folders, one of my favourites is a French Opinel. They come in different sizes. Mine is their mid-size type with a blade length of about 3.5 inches. Very lightweight and easy to carry in the pocket. Wooden handle feels...

    What is number 1 gun you really like but DON'T have?

    Sig Sauer P226. I have handled and shot those a couple of times and they are very nice guns.

    My wife is a better shot than me!!!

    My wife came once to the range with me and tried my S&W 617 couple of times. The first five shot group was so-so but the next one was magnificent. I couldn't duplicate it how hard I tried. I have asked her a few times to come again but she hasn't been interested. Too bad because I am sure she...

    My son turned my carry gun on himself

    I can only vaguely imagine how you feel. You have my deepest sympathy.

    SIGpictures

    Those Sig-Sauers are really nice guns. I have shot them a couple of times and really like their ergonomics. You may call me heretic but my next pistol might be a Norinco NC-226 which is a faithful copy of Sig P226. I have tried a couple of them and they seem to be well made guns. They are a...

    Who doesn't have a CZ?

    My first 9mm was CZ-75 but it was stolen :cuss: . Next I bought a H&K USP because I liked its sights better (my current pistol). Later when occasionally shooting a borrowed CZ I thought I should have bought another one instead :banghead: . CZ-75 fits my hand better than USP. However, nowadays I...

    Finger On Trigger Guard

    I have tried but it does not work for me. Makes my grip feel weak. Much more natural to wrap my fingers around my shooting hand.

    Went to a local gunshop and came out grinning ear to ear!!

    Congratulations! Looks like you made a very good deal. I have shot a Sig P226 a couple of times and it has been a very enjoyable experience. If I sometimes have to get a new gun I will seriously consider trading my H&K USP to a Sig.

    Guns You'd Like to See Them Make

    I'd like to have a Mech-Tech carbine conversion unit for my H&K USP.

    Uma Thurman's gun in Kill Bill Vol. 2

    Could that gun be an AMT Automag II in .22 Mag?

    Just wanna say hi

    Welcome aboard. I am a new member, too. And I am slightly jealous about your collection. AR-15 has haunted my dreams a long time. I have a S&W 617 revolver, H&K USP 9mm and a Sako P54 rimfire rifle. All are very fun toys. I am into handgunning and especially action shooting.
