Before I moved from the US back to Canada, my EDC was a Springfield XD .45. It eventually came down to Glock vs Springfield, for me. Went with what I did, because I didn't find the Glock to be comfortable in my hand.
Sadly, due to the speed of which I was required to relocate for my job, it was easier to sell than risk fucking up the paperwork and requirements needed to bring a restricted weapon into Canada.
That said, this summer I'm likely going to get my unrestricted and restricted licenses. One of the first things I want to buy is the either a CZ Scorpion or a Tavor. I've shot both, and they are quite enjoyable and comfortable for me.

The sweetest firearm I ever had the pleasure to work with is the 300 (M16 platform chambered in 300 blackout and eventually suppressed) .... absolutely amazing to run and the added punch was really nice.

I got a vanilla XD-9 five years ago, and it’s still my go-to. Whenever I come across extra cash I just spend it on firearms courses and ammo for more range time. Might just beat this thing up until it stops working.

Any 1911 fans here? I like them alot but I also like the more modern pistols as well.
I have my grandpa's 1911 from WWII. It was made in 1913, and it's easily my favorite gun to shoot. I've retired it, but it's just a perfect pistol.
Aside from the Colt, my Glock collection is close to my heart. The new single stack 9mm Hellcat from Springfield Arms is a nice little carry pistol also. Almost as nice as my M&P.

The M&P is my favorite handgun. I have three in 9mm and planning to get one more.

I'm really happy with my CZ Shadow 2.
I never once was disappointed with CZ to be honest. But that one is particularly nice indeed.

I've been lazy lately. I need to pull out everything from my safe and apply some oil. I've been negligent.

So, apparently Trudeau hired Tatu as a consultant after the sad shooting in Canada.
"How much time do you need to make AR-15's in Canada not exist?" as Trudeau.
"2 years", replied Tatu.
"And, after 2 years, AR-15's won't exist in Canada?" asked Trudeau.
"After 2 years, they will be just as non-existent as I am," Tatu replied with a wink.
"And will that reduce homicides, too?" asked Trudeau.
"No, that's a different department. We don't do miracles anymore. Just the idea that if you believe something does not exist, that might make it so." Tatu replied.
"Well how does that help?" Trudeau asked looking perplexed in his blackface.
"I get a lot of beer out it. And you'll get a bunch of donations, and people will have something to talk about other than the blackface you are always wearing." Tatu said.
"So I won't be a rich, spoiled, corrupt racist anymore?" asked Trudeau.
"No," said Tatu, "Some things will always exist."

Haven't been shooting since covid hit. Hopefully I will get to go back soon. Of course we can't shoot any AR platforms here in Canada any longer.

A friend of mine had the new Glock .22LR pistol malfunction while shooting, resulting in some damage to the pistol, and some pretty good burns on his support hand.
He is reporting it to Glock.

I'm sure you lost your AR in a boating accident, right?

I am on the range like every other month, but only „on duty“. Our firearms culture is way different in Europe and especially in Germany. The hurdle to get a carry license for civilians in Germany is almost insurmountable. You can own firearms after getting licensed and certified (sports shooting or hunting), but not carry in public….
In the military in the end of 90s and beginning of the 2000s I got to shoot the HK G3 assault rifle, HK G36, MG2 machine gun, MP2 Uzi, Walther P1, Walther P8.
After Military when transitioned to Law Enforcement since 2002 I have trained shooting the submachine gun Walther MP5, HK P7 and currently the Walther P99 DAO duty pistol.

I have some hardware, the U.S. allows for this.
In my State, it is encouraged by the Sheriffs.
I just have to supply the wetware.
And, the practice.
I practice a lot of dry fire, with laser cartridges, using real firearms, these days.
Revolvers, mostly, at the moment.
If my thumbs aren't ripped up, then you know that I am as soft as my hands.
Where I live, people also have shooting berms on their own properties.
It's rural.

Up here they are confiscating our AR's or similar platforms and anything they deem "assault style". 🤦🏻
The people running the ban and confiscation know virtually nothing about firearms.
