I'm thirty-six now and I've become a big fan of revolvers. I'm also partial to milsurp bolt action rifles, lever action rifles and old fashioned (i.e. - no commando add ons) pump shotguns.
What the heck? I can remember a time when all I was interested in was "evil" assault rifles and semi-auto handguns. Six shooters and lever actions were quaint at best - downright old at worst. I still own a few of my semis, but I've also traded off several in exchange for S&W wheel guns and what not. The whole thing is very strange.
Perhaps it was all the years I spent in the military - I'm burned out. But I like the old fashioned pieces more. Several of the officers that I work with have turned their 870's into the armory and are now carrying Bushmasters and so on. I have done the exact opposite. Once again a Remington 870 is riding in my car. Well my trunk because I'm a detective now and I don't have a rack up front. Nevertheless it's in there.
I don't think I'm the only one who has experienced this. Anybody else out there?
P.S. I carry a Sig 45 and a Colt DS as my back up. Old school and new combined I suppose.
