I don't think I even looked at the price tag.

You can still get the p7 psp's cheap (well, $600). IIRC they are the same except for the mag release button.

OK, OK, OK, instead of my H&K Semi Automatic Pistol, if I could have ANYTHING, my most favorite is the H&K MP5.

Enjoy

Splendid piece of kit for CQB, useless beyond the length of a average lawn unless you take the head shot. So I am told.

Correct. There were private citizens alive during the ratification of the Constitution that owned cannons, field artillery. "Arms" meant weapons of war, not "single shot muzzleloading guns suitable for deer hunting".

They envisioned that citizens should possess the same arms that any modern army would. Any ancillary reading of the arguments of the founding fathers, the letters, the state constitutions being ratified around the same time shows this much is not in debate.

But, Bert doesn't care. He's a troll. Thomas Jefferson could jump forward in time, pistol whip him with a 32 round glock 18, and scream at him he's wrong, and he'd still jump online to tell us we have small wieners.

Yikes. I wonder how often that suppressor gets burned out and has to be rebuilt.

Love me my H&K USP 9mm standard. Double stack magazine, and it's still narrow enough for my hands. very balanced too.

I like the H&K P7M8 and PSPs I have too.

Looking to sell my Match grade Anschutz 1413 if anyone is interested. I'd like to trade into a few accessories. Or a Sig 556.

Some of mine...


Top to bottom: Remington SPR 310 in 20 ga.
Savage Mk 2 in .22lr
Marlin model 90 in 12 ga.
Stiga Mauser action 8x57 js
These are my interesting (to me) guns. I think most of you know what an 870 express, an SKS, and a Mosin-Nagant look like.

Hand guns.

Left to right: S/A Mil-Spec (I think) 1911
Colt SAA in .38 special. I hope I look half as good at 117.
S&W 3913 TSW 9mm.

You read my mind. I don't recall ever seeing British forces carry the Steyr. IIRC don't the convicts (Aussies) and Irish carry the Steyr

Judging by the trigger, that is the A2, but it is typically seen mounted with a SUSAT sight. Increasingly, they're also now seen with launchers slung underneath as well:



You needed to keep them clean, and not hit the mag release by accident (which was far too easy, but a lot better on the A2) but they're great for CQB, and still capable of easily hitting a figure 11, even out to 300 yards. Add an awesome sling and you have a pretty good package IMHO.

Nice collection!

So, tell me more about that Mauser. Reworked wartime piece, or commercial manufacture?

I think the pic is an airsoft replica, I just liked the union flag background. Definitely an A2, check the cocking handle.
