Your gun interest is growing in which direction?

[twoblink]

Having a few chats with fellow THR'ers..

I seemed to have my interests move from:

Semi-auto pistols --> Revolvers --> Rifles

So tell me what direction your gun interests are progressing?

(I wait in anticipation for Tamara's diagram..)

 

[Jesse H]

Idling :-(

Haven't purchased a gun in almost a year.

Haven't purchased ammo in a few months.

Haven't shot a gun in a month.

Haven't dry fired in weeks.

Jesse,

Is this what happens when you take up a LEO job??

 

[BerettaNut92]

Clay shooting shotgun games -> semi-auto handgun plinking -> semi-auto handgun steel plate matches -> three gun matches -> CCW -> gun school & photography

 

[Mike Irwin]

Same way my interest has been growing for the past nearly 20 years... revolvers.

Yeah, I have other guns. I've bought other guns. But I'm still a revolver guy at heart.

 

[10-Ring]

Sometimes I shoot semi autos, sometimes, I shoot wheelguns Sometimes I shoot right handed & sometimes I shoot lefty

1911 style, and old smith wheels always have and has never changed.

Shotguns and rifles only change is the ga/cal for the job. Their Platforms same way.

Competed for awhile. Although have always CCW, and cogiznant of security and safety, more attention to these.

 

[DualBerettas]

to the stuff the gov. won't let me have....SIG 552, GALIL AR/ARM, SIG SNIPER RIFLE, MP5s, UMP, G36, P90, TMP, M60E4, SAW...what a collection that would be!!

Guns--->ammo--->Accessories--->training...never enough of the last.

 

[4v50 Gary]

Revolvers when I was young. Then it was rifles (HK-91) in college. Pistols in the '80s. Full Autos from mid-80s to early '90s. Around '94 first got drawn to flintlocks. Now it's older guns and sharpshooting. Must be age.

 

[DontShootMe]

Autoloaders
Revolvers
back to Autoloaders
CCW
Plinking (.22's)
Skeet
1911's
holsters and more holsters

that's where I am now. Currently acquiring a Miami classic Galco SH with the SS2 shoulder straps

Did I read that wrong?

Recently my interests have been along the lines of cheap C&R weapons, those that I can buy in sets of three (three kids who will get the contents of the various safes one of these days....) .

Other than that, most anything that goes bang at a reasonable cost:bang for $ spent ratio.

[natedog]

Semi-auto pistols...don't own any though

 

[Dr.Rob]

Plinking>hunting>newguns>evil black guns>old guns>competition shooting

 

[WhoKnowsWho]

Autoloader->Rifle->Autoloader->Rifle->Revolver->Autoloader->Autoloader->Autoloader->Autoloader->Revolver->AR-15->Autoloader->Etc...->CCW->Lever Action->Reloading->Autoloader...

I prefer autoloaders, don't mind a revolver every now and again. I like rifles, but handguns are so much more convenient to take to the range.

Haven't sent in for my C&R yet... this interest line would be skewed in a few directions then...

[tomkatz]

Same way my interest has been growing for the past nearly 20 years... revolvers.

I'll agree with mike on this, I buy/own fancy autoloaders, but those revolvers just have a hold on me, I'm almost always carrying a revolver.

In addition lately I seem to be getting interested in old military weapons.......tom

 

[Black Majik]

Autoloader pistols ~~~~> Shotguns ~~~~> Long range Bolt Guns

... so far...

Jesse,

Nope...this is what happens when you take on new hobbies (girlfriend, motorcycle).

I may go to a gunshow this weekend, though.

 

[Majic]

revolvers > briefly tried shotguns > briefly tried pistols > rifles > back to and stayed revolvers

 

[badgerrr]

Of late, my facination with revolvers is on the wane.

Am becoming more interested in Single Shot Rifles and small rifle calibers.

 

[semf]

my first love is revolvers & shotguns. I had a brief affair with semi auto pistols but I think that's over. As a matter of fact just yesterday I think I decided to sell or trade off some of them to get into C.A.S.

 

[Spieler]

Military style 'assault rifles' (pre-'89) > hi-cap 'wonder-nine' semi auto pistols > milsurp rifles > surplus semi-auto & 1911-style pistols > revolvers (currently).

 

[igor]

Basics marksmanship -> IPSC -> practical rifle -> next will be shotgun and off to 3-gun I go!

 

[ACP230]

Smith N frames, especially those in .41 Magnum.

Highly accurate .22 rifles with high powered scopes for an e-mail .22 benchrest match I participate in.

Right now my deer rifles are eclipsing both since the rifle deer season starts on Saturday here.
