    Nice looking handgun. Thought about getting my B cat once. But too many restrictions to make it worthwhile.

    Always wanted a silenced pistol. Now have my wish. My model has had the front sight moved back a little to allow for the threading.

    Hoping soon to get C and E cat licences.

    Now have 5 handguns.

    .22 as mentioned,

    2x .44 Mag single action revolvers, for CAS competitions

    2 x .44 cap and ball Uberti replica 1858 Remington revolvers, these I am going to get Kirst Konverter Cylinders for and so be able to shoot .45 Colt cartridges with. nominal bore of barrel is .454"

    If I can ask, what sort of "sniper" rifle is it.

    Like Fish says, Bcat safes can be very cheap, you just need to look around
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Its also too much trouble these days going through the paces to get a B cat, in my opinion its not worth the trouble.

    I've posted my gun list before, but here it is again in its current state:

    Mosin Nagant Model 38 (7.62x54R)
    Mauser Kar98K (8x57JS)
    Norinco JW-14 (.22LR)
    Ruger 10/22 (.22LR)
    Marlin 336 (30-30 Win)
    Akkar Mariner (18" 12-gauge pump)
    Marlin Camp Carbine (.45ACP, ported and suppressed)

    I'm a few months off my B endorsement, at which point I'll be immediately adding a Ruger Mk II/III and... something else.

    If I had infinite funds, I'd buy an STI Edge, but that just ain't gonna happen.

    I'm really starting to lean toward a Glock 35. At $1350 retail, I could buy a lot of practice ammo with the several hundred dollars I'd save over any of the other serious options.

    Ever since I found out about what's happened to SIGs, quality-wise, since they stopped being fully German-produced, I've gone off the idea of a gun with my name on it. An STI Trojan in .38 Super is my current pick from the $2K price bracket.

    My next rifle will be a Savage Weather Warrior in .243, one of their package deals with a 3-7X Bushnell, which will be immediately pimped out with a bipod and a fat-arse MAE suppressor.

    Sigh. I need more billable after-hours contracts.

    what do you think of the camp carbine? I was looking into getting a non suppressed one last year and sending it off to get suppressed at MAE, but I had to make a decision to either get the bike or the gun.

    Who you calling camp duckie???

    They're a short range only weapon (like 100 yards max) and even then marginal on dropping say a large goat at that point.
    I'd stick to 50 yards tops for consistant kills, use hollow-points .

    But suppressed it'll be a bunch of fun.

    Were you planning on 9mm, or .45? It's aiight, I guess. I only have it because I inherited it from a friend with different, er, 'priorities', who happened to lose his FL.

    I've had quite a few failure-to-feed issues when the action isn't kept clean and lubed. It's not a 100%-reliable SHTF gun, that's for sure. It does take standard 1911 mags, which is one point in its favour.

    I dunno, really. I just don't feel the need. I wouldn't drop the dollars on one, myself. For the same money you can have a very nice Savage or Remington in a proper calibre that can reach out and touch something more than 50m away. If I wasn't keeping it 'in trust', I would have flicked it on ages ago.

    Perfect sheep poacher's gun, of course, and it's kind of fun being able to shoot .45ACP at cans in the backyard without disturbing the neighbours.

    wouldnt have it any other way, its gota be silenced. Used to have an air rifle but that got stolen a while back and that was good fun shooting cans in the back yard, so I can only imagine what a .45 would be like..

    My father has rifles, shotguns & bows.

    Please add bows to the options as I have a 70lb compound bow. Whilst technically not in the firearm catagory it puts me in the armed catagory.

    So I gather you met the missus at a gun convention Dai?
    Or was it at the ammo store?
