Shooting/firearms collecting anybody?

[flatlander937]

Anybody else have fun shooting? What do you guys have?

I've got a Colt 1991 Commander .45 and just picked up the Ruger 22/45(.22LR) target pistol yesterday. Got to shoot it today and it was great... 200 rounds with no problems save for one failure to extract. the Colt is a 2011 model w/ the "100 Years of Service" rollmark. I bought it because I love 1911s since they have so much history behind them. One day I'd like an actual USGI 1911, but I wanted one that I can shoot without fear of the collector's value diminishing.

I also have a 1941 Izhevsk Arsenal Mosin-Nagant M91/30. It shoots a 7.62x54R round... which is very similar in performance to a 30-06. These are super cheap guns to buy(I got this one for $100), mainly because there are so many of them. They are Russian and played a huge role in WWII in keeping the Germans from invading the Soviet Union. These long range rifles have been in use since 1891, and some are still used today though they have been phased out for AK variants.

It came with some accessories as well, ammo pouches, oil/grease cans, bayonet, etc.

My wife modeling it...

Anybody else share this hobby?

I heart the 91/30 - waaaaaaay better than the M44.

I'm more of an SKS guy though. I have a Chinese one that's been "bubba'd" a bit (aka "Tacticool") and the Marlin .22WMR bolt-action I've had since I was 16.

I have a .22LR Rifle from pre-WW2 and a Mosin-Nagant LR. Been shooting a Glock 17 for the past 3 weeks for work training.
I've shot a lot of different types/models of guns, but no real training in them. Only one time shoots for most of them. The AR-17 is a lot of fun as well as most compact assault rifles I have shot.
