Hello there!

I understand your frustration and anger. I was also made to pay for the actions of one madman. I only lost 5 handguns, but one of which was put togeather for me for practical pistol shooting and cost Ã?Â£1800 (which was a good price) I managed to shoot it in competition for about 12 months before I handed it in.

I fail to understand any youngster who 'joins up' nowadays. As you say, trusted whilst wearing the uniform of the Country, but put your 'civvies' on and you can no longer be trusted with firearms. Madness.

I gave all shooting up after the ban as I just couldn't face it any more. But after a while, I thought why let them win. I now shoot in PP comps abroad as often as I can afford to. I also own several rifles and a nice hi-cap remi 1100 s/a shotgun.
I will be adding the 4" luger to my ticket soon, and as my FAC is up for renewal in April, I'll be adding a few more calibres to it.

There are a few of us at my local club who have 'historical interest' pistols. Today I saw a nice Artillary Luger and a very nice 7.63 Mauser both owned by the same guy. I believe that there are several more Lugers held there but I'm yet to see them.

Nice to know I'm not the only Brit on here!

Cheers.
