I kept my weapons at the base armoury, and never took them home or off base. It was a lot of fun doing practical pistol competitions (running around shooting at pop-up targets etc), but sadly it ended after Thomas Hamilton f*cked it up for everyone.

I wasn't trying to be a 'gangsta' or anything, it was just a hobby like fishing or going to watch a footy match.

Agree
Practical Pistol stuff is a real good challenge - hard to get it right and has a practical application.
Sig 225 was the handgun I always felt most comfortable with.
I think the people on here that have come into contact with handguns proffesionaly. 1.Treat them with alot of respect 2.Are probably the last people you would ever find carrying one on the street.
Personaly I never go near the things anymore and am quite happy never to come accross another gun in my life.
