I shot the Mk23 many years ago, but in .40S&W. I remember it was a super soft shooter and very accurate too, but it was bulky as heck and astonishingly expensive. The same day somebody had is Desert Eagle out and it was not that much bigger, much to our surprise.
Come to think of it, thats a while back, is H&K still making them?

No idea if they still make 'em, but i reckon it might depend on if HK still make USPs.

Well, heck, I got me a tacticool 1911! And oh boy, I haven't even shot it yet but I already love it, its one heavy but smoothly operating beast. All the mechanics glide like butter, the trigger is exceptional and the there is basically no slide wobble. Sights are very good too, its three dots with the front sight dot being a red fiber optic.

Beet has been infected with the handgunner bug, it brings a tear to my eye. Fun thing is I actually started shooting because of my love for pistols and revolvers, its what brought me into the sport. (Especially magnum revolvers) But I started with rifle shooting since in my country, you cannot own pistols and revolvers at an age under 21 (at 21 you can apply for the licence for those guns.) I got stuck at rifle shooting because it was fun and I was good at it, not really caring about pistols or revolvers much at all. Now that I have shot rifles extensively for 14 years, I felt like I needed to do something new - so I got me the license and finally got me a G17 and now the 1911. And I love em, more than I anticipated. My love for the long gun has not diminished a bit because they are damn fun and have so much power and accuracy, but now pistols and revolvers are really nice too. Kinda feels a bit like a homecoming. Now, you have to become a little more of a rifleman, Lavo. Quid pro quo.

My handguns have rifling, so I'm already plenty of a rifleman.

NRA article about the difference between .308 Win, and 7.62 Nato Here. TLDR: a .308 Win. chamber can handle both .308 Win. and 7.62 NATO ammo safely, but if your rifle is marked for 7.62 NATO ammo, it’s best to use only that. I didn't know that about the .308 rifles. I thought it was the .223 of the 7.62 realm. Turns out, .308 win is the hotter of the two cartridges.

Man, I shot both my RONI Glock and my 1911 for the first time and what can I say, I'm addicted. In fact, this is the first time I shot a pistol seriously (outside a handful of less serious loaner gun sessions). With my 1911, first couple round I was just about on target at 25 yards, the next couple magazines I could already hold the black, and this was the last target I shot at 25yds, 8 shots: I also shot my RONI Glock 9mm at 25yds, and this was the rapid fire result with the 33 round mags. I just could not shoot it slowly. Rapid fire meaning a shot every second till the mag was empty. That was just enough time to recover from the little recoil and get the dot roughly into the black again. Loved every minute of it, the RONI Glock combo totally is the submachinegun I always wanted. (Albeit semi-auto, which matters little though). Also I am happy to report that both guns, out of the box, had absolutely zero malfunctions for almost 300 rounds.

I've always liked the idea of having a gun in .32ACP. It's too bad it isn't that popular of a round in the States anymore.

Yankee Marshall teaches us how to properly clean and lube up revolvers.
This actually taught me how to cock the hammer while the cylinder is out.

Yankee Marshall teaches us how to properly clean and lube up revolvers. This actually taught me how to cock the hammer while the cylinder is out. Another revolver vid by Yankee, this time comparing HKS speedloaders (which is what i have for my .357 and .44 mag) and Safariland's to see which is faster (spoilers: the latter). While I wouldn't replace the HKS ones i have with them, i'd look into getting them for the S&W 638 I plan on getting in the near future. The .500 S&W revolver would be best with a stock. Come to think of it, I still need to buy me a cap and ball revolver. They're awesome. Have one for your EDC.

Well, I got me these. They're from a shop in the US so I expect a delivery time of a million years - but good things happen to those who can wait. or so I've been told. Since I'll probably go to hell some day I need to make sure I'm appropriately armed.
