I wish I had bought a few more Winchester 1894 in various calibers before they ceased production.

I have mine in .45LC and I love it. Don't know what it's "good for" but it is fun to shoot for sure. Everyone should be issued one at 13 years old.

I'm 15 can I have yours? I seem to have been skipped over.

Seriously, that last shot of the guy behind the car is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

I'd like to get my hands on a H&R .32cal revolver.

I second that! Who was in charge of range discipline? Personally I wouldn't trust them with water pistols!

A strange calibre to lust after, Matt. I would have more faith in a .22" than a .32".

I'm glad somebody agrees. All their obvious talent is useless if they act so stupidly.

They probably put a piece of 3/4" thick steel plate against the door and hid it before they swung the camera around.

Or he was in a covered up foxhole.

Or he has a death wish.

And if there were apartment buildings around, I could have sworn the film was taken on Andy Street just four blocks south of me. At least it sounded like Andy Street with all the gunfire.

We used to have an H&R .32 but got lost before we moved to California. I do have my grandmothers Iver Johnson .32 that she used to carry in her purse all the time.

Too bad we lost that H&R though. When my grandmother was in her pre-teens back in Norwalk, Wisconsin the area was troubled by a prowler who would often just crawl in through an open window (no air conditioning in the 19th century) and steal something or terrorize the residents.

One day he crawled into the wrong window -- at my great grandparents home. Grandma grabbed the .32 and circled 3 shots right around the guy's foot as he stepped onto the floor. Then when she pointed it at his eyeballs he took off like a Flash. He was caught later, out of breath and with wood splinters in his ankle.

I could see precious little evidence of 'obvious talent'! Some of the targets were more suitable for the bayonet! Their stupidity was glaringly obvious. This is just the sort of material the anti-gun lobby needs to portray their side of the argument

Went shooting with an ex-Marine. Boy, can he shoot! He was a helicopter mechanic, and still he shot the M4 better than anybody I had ever seen.

On Saturday, a friend of my mother's came in as I finished a call and closed my cell phone. "You've just missed a fine example of modern American capitalism," I said, "I was talking to my arms dealer."

Sunday, couldn't sleep, so I got up and cleaned my USP, 9 magzines (7 USP, 2 AR-10). Finally made it to the range, but was rushed, shot only 5 bouts, all on a full size silouette. Two slow combat on the USP, 15 yards, 30 rounds, 3 magazines, shoulder holster, two handed, right, left dominant. Three on the AR-10, 3 rounds at 50 yards, 5 rounds at 75 yards, 12 rounds (squad hit: shoot, break contact, reacquire, shoot) at 100 yards, standing, iron sights, combat sling.

And there is the "burrrr", that which tells you that you are alive, that you are active. At 40+, it's often the little (or not) pains here and there, that remind you of what you have done.

Like the sudden twinge in my right wrist, probably from shooting the USP today, or the sharp spear down the left side of my back earlier, probably from shooting the AR-10 while having my shoulder holster on.

On Sunday when I was shooting a 3 magazine pistol bout, things were going great, no misses, when my internal "coach" said "Aim for the nape of the neck" (since my rounds tend to drop low into the chest) ...........

.................. and I placed the very next round in the space between "his" right shoulder and right temple!
