Starting in January, 1973 when I got out of the US Navy, I've had 133 rifles, pistols and shotguns, mostly pistols, never more than 17 at a time, which I've got now. I had to wade through a lot of junk, and discover a lot of gunwriters were full of beans about what was good before I got rid of the bad stuff and found out what was good. It's been a fun 30 years.
