      From the back of the Gun safe, "It's a Sig! It's a Walther! it's a Hammerli?"

      So, I've been away for a while but I decided that now that we are starting to get some nicer weather, The moon covered the sun for a few minutes, and just because I felt like it it's time to start back with, "From the back of the gun safe," In these posts I reach into my safe and pull something...

      Excuses for buying guns.

      It's an investment. I tell my S/O all the time that her and I just hold money differently, and as long as I do it right guns gain more interest than a savings account.

      From the back of the gun safe, The Colt with no name.

      So, I'm a collector of oddities not just in guns, but in several areas, Car's, knives, whiskey, crazy ex girlfriends, etc. But guns have always been one of the biggest passions, I mean isn't that why we're all here? This one here though on this posting of, "From the back of the gun safe" Isn't...

      So, anyone who looks at my posts will see that I've got a trend going where every so often I'll pull something out and give a story behind it, Sometimes that story is personal to me, other times it may just be something interesting that I happen to find about some of the items in my collection...

      First time shooting a gun, how does it feel?

      I can understand some families not being into it, I also understand that it's not for everyone especially since it can turn into an extremely expensive hobby and the cost is a major factor for a lot of people. But I absolutely agree that when it is something that is absolutely a family activity...

      TopGuns Terre Haute

      Top Guns as a whole isn't a bad place. I shoot there each week in some of the bowling pin matches they do and it's a great time. Some of their prices on consignments can be a bit high at times but I've also walked in there and found amazing deals on used guns. I don't have much experience with...

      From the back of the gun safe. The one I'm sure nobody else has.

      When I worked in a shop I carried this one a few times, It was always an interested one whenever another Glock fan-boy would come in and notice it and nearly have an aneurysm.

      First time shooting a gun, how does it feel?

      I started with a Romanian .22 Trainer rifle before moving into an old Glenfield. Handgun-wise my dad taught me on a Colt Diamondback and a Colt Ace. I never did much with shotguns and still don't but I do plan on getting into sporting clays as soon as I get a few other projects done. When I...
