So What's Your "Specialty"?

[VUPDblue]

In the world of firearms ownership and enthusiasm, what's your area of the most interest? Everyone has their niche of what really appeals to them. Just for grins, what area is that for you? Also, list where you are now, and where you would ultimately like to be in respect to that niche. I'll start...I love NFA firearms. I love all NFA firearms and my ultimate is to own at least one of each type of NFA firearm. Right now I've conquered the SBR, Suppressor and Machinegun. I'm trying to find the right Any Other Weapon and Destructive Device to round-out the collection.

Everything.

Title I, Title II, Title 1.5.

i like refishing guns and smithing them, all except 1911's. i just cant get into them.

 

[TomN]

I'm pretty much a pistol shooter. I do a little shotgun and rifle, but own neither at this point.

I'm also very interested in 2nd Amendment rights. Well all rights actually. I really annoys the hell outta me when politicians try to take them away. This isn't the USSR dammit!

I mainly enjoy pistols, with the semi's as main interest. I have done a bit of skeet shooting before(still have 90 clays left) and am really interested in smithing and such. I really want to attend a glock amoury school

 

[AllenM]

I mainly like to view things throught the reticle of a sniper scope. But since places to shoot long range are hard to find so I am doing alot more pistol shooting. Plus wanting to learn gunsmithing

 

[sparkyfender]

Handguns are my main interest, usually semi-automatic ones...........

I like all kinds of firearms, however................

I used to be a pistol man, but one of my older friends turned me on to rifle shooting. Love the reactive targets. Ain't nothing quite like watching a milk jug full of water explode at 100 yards with a medium caliber or popping water balloons blown up with air to about 3 inches and stapled down at 50 yards with a .22 rifle. Keeps it fun for the kids (and the bigggest kid of all, me!)

I also love stripping the firearm down when I'm cleaning it and getting to see how all the inner mechanisims work together.

you'd love one of the .22Lr's I own for stuff like that, I think its a full blown target .22 very nice for eliminating the pigeons when they become a pain in the butt

what kind of 22 do you use for plinking?

 

[Cactus Jack]

I'm a shotgun man at heart, busting clay, ducks and geese. I shoot a lot of rile and pistol as well, I also shoot in SASS. Right now I have 2) 12 ga sxs 1) 12ga semi-auto 1) 12 ga pump and 1) 10ga pump, some day i would like to have one of every gage, I will be getting a AR with the check Uncle Sam is sending just cause who knows who is going to be the POTUS

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

I prefer the long range game myself. I also am collecting Garands and cleaning them up really nice. Hopefully get to Camp Perry at some time and see a shoot.

A Ruger 10/22 with a cheap Simmons 3-9/40 scope on it. Sometimes I pull out the old Marlin 25N bolt action if I am getting to introduce someone new to the shooting sports.

 

[Lars]

No specialty here. I think Training and Practice are getting more of my funds than anything else though.

 

[Annie Oakley]

I enjoy giving other women and kids their first experiences with shooting and firearms safety. Love to target shoot and though I don't get to do it as much as I would like, trap is one of my favorite things to do.

 

[465guy]

Pistols for the most part. I would be more interested in rifles if there was a more convenient place to shoot then around here where I live. - Indy

 

[cougar_guy04]

Mostly handguns here, though I've developed a real interest in the AR platform in the past year (good thing too, I'm going to be seeing enough of them in a few weeks to satisfy about any gunny ).

 

[Jeff]

I wouldn't call it my specialty but there is no other firearm I would rather shoot or tinker with than the 1911.

Don't care much for rifles or shotguns though I have a Remington 11-87 for home defense and know how to use it.

My interest is in competition, USPSA to be exact. Taking classes from the GM's are part of my plan now and in the future.

Don't worry too much about "tactical training".

I'm afraid of guns and the people who own them.
