I used the same Glock at work for four years and never had one Malfunction. I shot it a few times because I was working on a Shooting Range those four years.

Merry Sniper Christmas
This FN A1A SPR in 308 was not delivered by Santa. It's just another auction find. I'm thinking of selling the ATN and replacing it with a Mark 4. I still have to put it on the range to see how accurate it is.

An AMC Pacer is just as reliable as a Ford F-150 but you're not going to catch me driving one.

This was my first firearm purchase ever. It's too pretty to shoot so it's been sitting in its case for the past 5 years.
It's our class pistol that our shooting team ordered prior to our graduation.

What a beautiful piece, sleepyhead! Thanks for sharing. May I ask how much you paid for it?

CWT?
I'll be happy to break her in for you so you don't have to labor through all that shooting. Consider it my Christmas present to you.

Thanks everyone. It is a beautiful pistol. It's made by Colt but it's not actually the 1911 model. It's supposedly the 1991 model due to some modifications. (I don't really know much about the 1911 series pistols) It was sold to my class for $750 a pistol. Here's the other side of the pistol with my class crest.
Reaper, are you referring to Uday or Qusay Hussein? Because those names are pretty darn odd.

Yep. Lots of gold plating there.
Congrats.

IF you already have the Gold... then you should add some accessories to your primary.

I've seen that AR before, Sacamuelas. It was produced by Packard in the late 30's.
Merry Christmas, all.

LOL....Stick a TAC Light on it, maybe a few layers of Inner Tune around the Grip. It could be considered something other then a Purse Gun.

I saw those when we worked with the pistol Team up there in 2003. . I think they (Cadets) could buy one a year even if it wasn't their class Graduating. This was 2003. Beautiful Guns.
