Sorry - no neat bullet points - just a list! I cheated here because this list was made up for another thread where comments were invited on each gun .... so various entries made against each because of that.! It also includes a few entries relevant to a few guns owned in past but no longer with me.
Much of this lot is pure indulgence (Investment Honey!!) ....... to anyone else - get what you can and enjoy ... I know darned well I could ''manage'' with just maybe three or four (the ''guilt'' aspect!) .....
