I forgot to annotate:
Sig 522 Nikon P22 Scope Barska Red Laser/Tac Light (bunny blaster)
H&K USC 45 ACP (Lasergrip with taclight on the way)
Sig 516 Eotech Hologram site and Magnifier
Sig 716 Nikon P308 Scope, Atlas Bipod, Dueck backup angle sites.
Sig Mosquito Viridian Green Laser (cheap to practice with)
Ruger LC9 Crimson Trace (CCW)
Sig P226 9mm (West German) Lasermax grips
Sig P229 40 Cal Viridian Compact Green Laser/Tac Light
Sig P220 45ACP Viridian Green Laser/Tac Light
Sorry no shotguns. They make a big mess of the house.
I have a thing for lasers, the shot goes in the dot. Still not a replacement for good marksmanship, but I'll take an unfair advantage anytime.

Didn't realize one of those pistols in your lineup pic is a Mosquito. Is yours finicky with what ammo to feed it? I ended up with a Ruger SR22P because it'll eat anything you feed it incl Remington Subsonics. How do you like the LC9? I just picked up a Sig P938 with factory laser as my EDC.

The Mosquito has reputation of being finicky. If you use CCI MINI MAGS you wouldn't have a problem. There are better22LR semi out there, but since almost everything I shoot is a Sig, all the controls are in the same place DA/SA. The LC9 is a snappy little critter. Thing doesn't weight much so a bit more recoil than you might expect. I would have preferred a p938 but it's not on the California roster list. The most fun to shoot of the ones I have is the P229.
Want that folding stock.

I will take my P229 over ANYTHING. I bring out the Kimber when someone wants to say they shot one, but most except diehard 1911 fans agree my P229 is one of the best shooting pistols they have ever handled.

I reload, been focusing mostly on small batch bolt action ammo lately. I would like to get a progressive turret press so I can crank out the semi auto stuff in bulk. It just takes too long to do that on a single stage in any real quantity.

Thank you for your service to this country. And yes...FRIENDS. I am currently serving, a graduate of the US Naval Academy and fly F-18s so yes, I have friends that are operators and have socialized with many operators in many ports of call. I have even provided armed overwatch and close air support for them. And in my day to day job my current ammo of choice is 20 mm HEI.
As for guns, you guys are sissies. I like my guns like I like my cars, overpowered and completely unnecessary. My favorite is my Desert Eagle in .50AE or my Noveske N4 in .223. With the desert eagle, even if I miss the bad guy will be deaf and probably on fire from the 7ft flame thrown from my hand loads. On a more serious note, My Sig P229R in .40 is my go to.
