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.

Speaking of sig. Looking at 556 swat short barrel. Any thoughts on that rifle buying wise? I do know early units were supposedly problematic, but I believe that was 7.62 related as I was looking for 5.56.

Want that folding stock.

I had the Sig 556 from when they were first released. I have shot numerous ARs and NOTHING compares to the Sig. I put thousands of rounds through that rifle and NEVER had a FTF,FTE, or mag fail to set properly. I sold it to a friend who is an avid collector and he agrees 1000%. The only time he wants to shoot any other AR is when it has the Slidefire installed.

My first Mosquito was HORRIBLE- it jammed constantly and the slide lock did not work properly. My LGS sent it back to SIG after years of hearing m complain. SIG replaced it with a new gun. I don't recall my first one being Made in Germany. I don't have the issues with the new pistol.

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.

Unfortunately no, every time I leave the range I wish I got into it though.

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.

Cool, last year I redesigned the analog portion of the circuit card in your ALR-67 RWR's 4 Quadrant Receivers. I'm pretty sure I did a good job but sorry in advance if you get hit by a missile or HARM doesn't work.

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.
