...well almost. Went to the shooting range this afternoon and rented a Sig Sauer P226, That is

another fine shooting pistol. Much nicer trigger than the S&W M&P guns. I'm putting this on my

Christmas list. Hell, who knows, maybe 'jps' will send me a check. After all, every gun in my house

is one less gun on the streets killing folks.

That's a nice gun. This is on my shopping list:

An old-school 92!

The Beretta 92 is what my son-in-law is carrying in Afghanistan. That's what the holster, etc, I got

for him was made for. That's a nice looking gun, but I don't know much about Berettas. I know they

won the Army contract over Sig Sauer, but I've been told it had to do with cost and the siting of

missiles in Italy. Not sure if I was given the straight skinny, but there you go.



I've got an opportunity (military retired) to get that Sig 226 for about $400 off the MSRP, which is

not a bad deal. Ii'm still kicking it around. I sure enjoyed shooting the thing today. The place I

use up here rented me the gun for $10 for an hour, as long as I bought the ammunition there. They

will not allow the firing of any ammo other than their own through their guns. Fair deal. For about

$27 I got to shoot 50 rounds through the P226. Next time I go down there, I'll ask about a rental

for the Beretta 92.

Two different firearms, John. The Sig is great. I have just over

twenty guns and this is a classic I'm adding to my collection. I

realize stainless isn't as authentic but I like my guns to look as new

as possible and stainless is much more forgiving than a blued finish.



That's one of the things I like about that Sig, above. Stainless guns are usually pretty nice

looking guns. I've not been back since I wrote the above, so I've not been able to check on the

Beretta 92 rentals. I'll bet they've got some, because they get a lot of military guys in there

shooting.



Just over twenty, huh? I'll have to tell my wife so she won't think I'm going overboard!

So, y'all want to compare yourself to a jackass like Kruger?
What's next... comparing yourself to Dickson?
Y'all should really set your sights a bit higher.
