Your gonna love this gun, I have a model 86 and a thunder and they are sweet shooting guns. My wife dont really like guns but she plays with the Thunder with a smile and keeps it loaded with hollow points and an extra clip as I mostly work nights. Excellent choice for someone with smaller hands and just as accurate and reliable as my Ruger 9.

Bersas are like the Rock Island 1911. Very pleasant surprises for the money.

They have a new smaller 9mm out that seems to be quite nice for carry.

Speaking of new stuff, I got a new Gen 4 Glock 19. I'm quite impressed. I'll be adding a 20 soon.

Since I'm bored, I picked up a cheap bipod last week to use on my AR and 10/22. Seems to be good for $25. Foldable and adjustable.

Yes, SR556e. Just added a few things to it.


Been trying to find money for next purchase. Probably an SR9c for when I want to carry something slightly lighter and the fiance hates my SR40 due to recoil. Also possibly looking for LCR in 22 mag to throw in my pocket when needed.

I really like the SR556 series a lot.
its a well kept secret of excellence.
Also like that they dont fall into the misplaced 1/7 barrel craze. Sadly even tho I prefer 1/9 all my barrels are 1/7 .. just worked out like that.

I love Rugers in general happen to get the SR556 at a decent price right before the madness last year.

Want a SR762 really bad, but no $1700 laying around.

The SR762 gets excellent reviews!
If I were to start over y collection might consist of Rugers instead for the LWRC M6s and the SIG.
Maybe 2 SR556CLAs and one FB as a DRM

the '85 Mark II 22 that my dad won and was my first gun (besides BB) just got me addicted to Rugers. Wished they made cheaper and HD shotguns, since none of my 3 shotguns are Rugers.

NAA mini revolver in 22 mag. Just something to throw in my pocket when I don't want to put on a holster to carry the full size.

http://northamericanarms.com/

Specifically this model:
http://northamericanarms.com/firearms/m ... mag/m.html

They have some different, more expensive models, but didn't want to spend much. $215 for mine and a $12 pocket holster at LGS. Got some CCI shotshell and CCI HP+V ammo. But having a hard time finding any other Ammo, especially for use at the range.

It's a Gen 4 20.

Full-size 10mm. 15 rounds of something that hits close to a .41 Magnum.

past 2 months the ms. got:
H&K VP9
Glock 26
(both are 9mm)

the h&k vp9 is the type of gun that will make you love to shoot. its an amazing gun. it comes stock with glow sights, and different back & side straps. it fits so well into your hand, that it really does increase accuracy. i absolutely became a fan of this gun. i love it.

For a hand gun I have a Steyr M9 9mm and a S&W 642 .38. Two AR-15 match rifles, custom made. One in .223, 8 twist 28 inch CM. The other is made by the same gunsmith in 6 MM RAT (based on the 6.5 Grendel) I have two M700 bolt guns, custom, in 6mm Creedmoor. Last but not least, two M1 Garands, one a June 1944 Springfield Armory with a Norwegian Kongsberg barrel. The other is an H&R all correct made in 1954. I also have an H&R M12 .22 target rifle and a Ruger MKII target pistol.

Picked up SR9c as a bday present a couple months ago from the wife. Just a smaller/lighter option over my SR40 at times when needed.

I'm addicted to Rugers so of course, SR1911 picked up used, but guy had only put a couple mags through it.

My '85 Ruger Mark II .22 was won by my dad in '85 and was my first gun, so it got me addicted to Rugers. Every gun I own is Ruger (except NAA 22 mag, shotguns, and Henry lever .22).

The 19 has had a few upgrades since I've been here again too.

Quick update for me too! Since my last I've finished my AR build and the thing i a tackdriver at 100-200 yards. I've also bought and sold a 1911, bought a Glock 17 Gen 4, bought a S&W Shield .40 then traded it for a Shield 9 and bought a Mossberg 500.

Got a G19 Gen4 right before Christmas. Love it.

THinking I'd like to have a Ruger .380 for pocket-carry, however. Gonna keep an eye out for one, unless someone talks me into something better.

Why not increase the power of the pocket gun and also avoid having to carry two calibers. Kimber Solo.

My quick pocket carry is a NAA 22mag.

Need to upgrade, thinking I want a Ruger LC9s, just have to make sure its comfortable in the pocket.

Greg I'd at least look at the 9mm over the 380. Guns are about the same size and the 9mm is better and cheaper ammo.

Yep - Now I'm looking at single-stack 9s, leaning toward the Ruger as well. No sharp edges to print, priced right, and great reviews.
