Changing Guns - your reasons

[Will Hewland]

No I won't change my gun and I definitely will never sell her even if I decide to add guns to my collection which would be the same as me adding to my handbag collection really.  I really do love my gun, she's only a Beretta SP1 but she suits me and we are getting there together.    I really like hearing why people change their guns especially the ones that do it with such frequency.

The way you are progressing, DEFINITELY stick with it..

I forgot to add, I did win my class for an event at the US OPEN a couple of months after I bought my new gun. When I changed there was no "adjustment period", as had been the case with other guns switching...I nevre "adjusted" or adapted to the K80, it was just too heavy for me.. A Kolar feels and moves much like a ZOLI or Perazzi...( 8.5 lb gun and very dynamic)

Cheers

I just sometimes feel people don't look to pleased when im shooting it

Don't worry about what others think, as long as your safe with it and at least make an effort to pick the empties up.

Look what I've just had put on the back of my gun, probably the most ridiculous stock ever but I've finished 3rd and 1st in the first 2 comps I've shot with it.

westley that's not my post  !

Yes, I saw that too Doc. I apologise, but I only saw it after I had posted the text and can offer no reason for it being there. I did try to eliminate you, but was unable to do that electronically, however I have managed to contact a couple of Guys who seemed to think that they could take care of it for me !

Are you about to change your gun Sian? Or are you having a mid-life crisis?  :wink:

MID LIFE, MID LIFE,  bloody hell she has a long way to go before she reaches that !

I quite honestly could not give a toss what others think, I do get concerned about the empty cases that I am unable to reach and pick up, BUT, I will pick up any that are in the cage,  before they let me out and that includes those ejected by the posterior parts with their O/U's. Wherever possible I will pick up my empties from outside the cage too. See thread Auto for Trap, I am still awaiting one VALID reason for the semi auto prejudices. (That does NOT include, "because I don't like them" brigade either).

That's easy!  Auto users are degenerate Commie wimps of questionable sexual identity and problematic hygienic habits that you wouldn't want near your children.

Present company excluded of course.
