Great film. Timeless stuff that I will still be watching when I'm even older than I am now. The second one was very good too.
I'm an anorak...I believe the 45 is a Peter Stahl custom jobbie
Cheers Steve

We are waiting for the Terminator to appear in real life, since we have drones. In general, it is not known what to expect in the foreseeable future.

there aint a da that goes by when i dont miss my pistol shooting! absolutely loved every minute!
comp practical shooting was a rush, i had a shed load of pistols and wheel guns,
still got some bits that the f------------- government would not pay for when they moved all these type of firearms to section 5,
i still shoot and still have a FAC and a SGC, rifles are ok, but this is a small country, so long range stuff is thin on the ground!
Pistols only need 50mtrs, !
Quite ironic really coz my Challenger is now moving to the top of next to be outlawed list

I did a bit years ago before I moved from Scotland to England. Enjoyed the challenge as it's much harder to shoot accurately with a pistol than a rifle. My first job was working traps at a shotgun club and I got paid in cartridges to shoot at the end of the day. I had a day at Bisley shooting .308 rifles about 5 years ago. It was fun but very expensive. After taking into account the range fees, transport cost, ammunition etc, the 50 rounds I shot off in the day (plenty in those rifles) it cost me £4 a shot. Was wierd watching a pint of Stella going down range everytime I squeezed the trigger!
The massacre at Dunblane changed everything. I lived pretty close to that lovely town and it's never recovered.

Ive got a couple of HME rifles ( high muxzzle energy ) which the Home office is trying to ban as we speak!
Bisley banned the use of 338's years ago, now Military Ranges are going the same way, before C19 i could use my 375 Cheytac at Lydd,
thats gone now, so ive really no where to shoot it now, unless i travel to Wales or Scotland! which as you pointed out seriously increases one costs!
I reload all my ammo , and were bracing our self's for a huge rise in component prices due to the debacle in the US, the yanks have gone nuts, 30 million gun registrations and 3 billion rounds of ammo in the last 12 months!
Ces't la vie, i consider my self lucky that its been a passion of mine for years, along with American cars, my RT had been a life line through these crap times, every thing is shut, but open the garage, roll the old girl out and hey presto things dont seem so bad!
be cool son
