I own one and like it, but can't really say I'm a "fan". It was given to me as a gift.

I really like the look and feel of the 1911 pistols. With that said I like the feel and operation of Glocks as well.

Back in the early 90s, my jujutsu instructor at the time taught a few of us tactical shooting as part of our training. He had .45 Colt Commanders custom-built for each of us along with hand-tooled leather OWB rigs. I agree. I loved that pistol! Nothing can compare with the way a 1911 feels. Having said that, though, I also totally agree with your statement about Glocks. As a law enforcement firearms instructor in the States for many years, I taught 100s of folk–both LE and civilian–how to run a handgun. Due to their ubiquity in the LE community, and the ease of operating, maintenance and repair, Glocks were invariably the weapon of choice.

Love shooting, but don't get to go as often as I would like. Unfortunately the closest ranges are over an hour away from my home.

When doing my army stuff I loved shooting in the range... Main weapon was was a Swedish AK-4 which was very accurate at even 200m but also shot a lot of MG-3 machinegun, a bit of Swedish KSP-58 and the new HK USP pistol was also pretty sweet...
European gun culture is way different though than US so I have shot I think 2 times in the past 10 years in the range but never felt the need to own a gun.

I've never shot anything full auto.
I hope I can sometime. I hear the Swiss have a strong gun culture. I live in Canada (although I am American) and there is a huge gun culture here as well. Here just like in the US and we have a problem with yahoos (gang bangers) shooting up people and places with illegal guns. I just like shooting at the range with my buddy Jason Figliano and a few other students. My sons go as well. I like taking them apart and cleaning them. Its therapeutic much like when I polish my boots. Which is another of my hobbies. (Old men and their hobbies)
One bad apple will always spoil the bunch on the subject of guns.

Full auto is not that great really :) You cannot really control it. With even a proper machinegun you shoot in bursts of 3 for accuracy otherwise it's all over the place. Shooting an automatic rifle full auto in longer distance than 50 m you'll lose so much accuracy.

I've only ever tried the 3 round burst max.. I just think it would be fun to blast in succession like that. hahaha

When I did service I had the HK G3 with 40mm grenade launcher under. As secondary I had a glock 9mm. I also operated the karl Gustav 84 mm. I tried the mg3 and also the 50 cal. A couple of times but they weren't "my" guns. When I started in law enforcement we used the HK mp5. We also used a S/W 38. But this got replaced around 2009 with a Hk P30L with light.
Outside service I really seldome go to the range. Have some guns for hunting but considering to sell it all as I almost never use them anymore. If you dont hunt or shoot actively in a club there really is no need to own a gun.

I think it's really a matter of cultures... BTW Carl you did your service in Norway? I had no idea they used still the ancient HK G3s (essentially same that the AK-4s that Sweden gifted to Estonia). It's a pretty reliable and a very accurate design though... 20 bullet mag is a small one though. And I, as a vertically challenged person, hated that it was so long :P And we had the old Carl Gustavs as well - good weapon but main difference with newer ones was the weight. Damn it was heavy :D

It sure is, Yeah, the weight of 7.62 rounds 20 mags compared to the weight of 5.56 that they use now.... I did my service in 1999-2001 in Norway and Balkans. Now they use the HK416. Its smaller, neater and makes it possible to Carrie more rounds. Wikipedia tells me that Norway started to use the 416 in the years 2007/08. So the G3 stayd With us for quite some time. If i dont remember wrong, also the Greek used the G3 in 2000.

Nice work!
Thanks. I’ve never really been the artsy type so I’m just practicing different techniques right now. I’m thinking about doing a red/black or blue/black call of duty inspired AR pistol next.
