-''"Firearms are like pets, you feed them, you clean them, you take care of them. If you are responsible, they can be your best friends. They can be used for recreation, defense, or just because you feel easier when they are around. And all without any urine stains on the carpet."''
+[[The Boondock Saints]]: Revised
-About 90 percent of the time, you are either a gun nut who has been shooting since you were five, or a 20 something punk who just picked up an M&P 40 for his house, who is probably just gonna go shoot it with his girlfriend. I'm neither. I come from a non gun family, in a non gun community, where the gunless think you are violent and dangerous, and the ones packing think you're incompetent. At a young age, it's hard to be accepted by anyone let alone two sides to a community of something as big and controversial as this. Glad it doesn't stop me from doing what I do. The handful of nonjudgmental people I talk to at ranges or stores, or even online, know that I am not just a kid who plays too much Counterstrike. I know my stance, and my firearms inside and out. I have detail stripped all of them at one time or another and taken out every carbon and dust particle visible. I am not a marksman, I'm not, but I have, what, 60, 70 years to get better? And yet, some dude who can barely field strip that M&P, and who doesn't clean it after every trip, gets more recognition and respect than I do. Anyhow, I've only been doing this for four, very frustrating years. I am better than a lot of people at this, but by what I consider "standards" still not good. I learn new information with everything I handle and everything I read, and I think that the least other gun fanatics can do, is be able to identify a gun, and that's what this website is all about.

-'''Model 1911 A1 .45 Automatic:'''
-[[Image:M1911Colt.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|World War II issued Colt made 1911 A1 pistol. They don't get much cooler than this.]]
+'''Smith & Wesson Model 659/5906:'''
-If you don't like this firearm, you need to quit studying, or you better have a reason other than "it's too plain." You can shave one down for concealed carry, or you can turn it into a carbine. They have models which fire everything from .22 to .50 Caliber bullets, with different internal and external parts to fit your shooting curve. Don't like the safety? Get another one. Trigger's tough? Adjust it. Jams? It shouldn't. If it does, fix your extractor/ejector, or your stance accordingly. Hammer snag? Get a bobbed one. You can do ANYTHING to one. It's been tested in combat and competition and has proven itself in both. Screw Glock and Beretta, this is the greatest handgun of ALL TIME.
+[[Image:S&W659 RD-MrPink.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Smith & Wesson Model 659 - 9x19mm.]]
-I personally like the older Colt ones (for the name mostly), the Commanders, and even the Para P14-45 in Stainless. Nowadays, though, Springfields are the best for the money.
+[[Image:S&W5906LateModel.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|S&W 5906 with round trigger guard and Novak sights - 9x19mm.]]
-'''Smith & Wesson "Classic" Automatics:'''
-[[Image:S&W5906LateModel.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|I had one in this configuration. When I saw Tom Cruise use this gun in [[Collateral]] I chuckled and hoped HK got mad.]]
+'''Colt Python:'''
-I like the the 59 series and 2nd/3rd Generations. They are not very recognized, but they will work all day, everyday, no problem. Combat accuracy, bluing for class, or stainless steel for duty. They get the job done.
+[[Image:Colt-Python.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Colt Python - .357 Magnum.]]
-'''Colt Python .357 Magnum:'''
-[[Image:Colt-Python.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|I'd opt for a 4 inch barrel model over a 6 inch because the 4 is more versatile, though a 6 inch is fine for targets and collecting.]]
+'''Smith & Wesson Model 19/60/66:'''
-Aside from it's flawless aesthetics, it's got the smoothest action of any revolver I have handled. Colt is renowned for this, and the Python itself.
+[[Image:Smith&Wesson-Model-19.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat Magnum - .357 Magnum.]]
-'''Smith & Wesson Revolvers:'''
+[[Image:StainlessS&WModel36.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Smith & Wesson Model 60 with red ramp front sight - .38 Special.]]
-[[Image:S&W25.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|This is a Model 25 which is quite underplayed. It's a lot more practical that a Model 29, in that it's actually possible to have decent follow up shots with good stopping power. Interesting that they made a Smith chambered in a Colt cartridge, but hey, practically every other revolver cartridge is an invention of Smith & Wesson.]]
+[[Image:Smith-&-Wesson-Model-66.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Smith & Wesson Model 66 with 4" barrel - .357 Magnum.]]
-These gun do the duties the Python is too ritzy to do. Colt revolvers are delicate, beautiful, and elegant. Smiths are beaters that you can shoot without a hitch. The actions are tougher, but so are the guns. If they're good enough for Jerry Miculek, they're good enough for you and I. My favorite models are the 15, 19, 25, 27, 28, 29, 36, 60, 66, 581, 586, 681, 686, basically the popular ones. Can't go wrong with Smith & Wesson!
-==Favorite Long guns (in no particular order)==
-'''AK-47 7.62x39mm:'''
+==Favorite Long guns==
-[[Image:AK-47.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|It's a crying shame I'll never be able to get one of the Russian hybrids like this one, or even a Russian Milled one.]]
+'''AK-47 AKM:'''
-As far as the AK/M16 argument goes, I am on the AK's side, hands down, or hands up rather. Accuracy does not mean a damn thing if your gun WILL NOT FIRE. No, it's not an accurate rifle, and you might not hit someone in excess of 100 yards, or be able to kill them at 300, but it's not meant for long range, it's meant for putting as many rounds down range as humanly and mechanically possible. It is a machinegun, and a killing weapon first, and a rifle and target tapper second. If I have to have one feature in a firearm, it's extreme workmanship, and not how far it can reach out and touch someone.
+[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|AKM, Stamped Steel Receiver w/ slant muzzle brake - 7.62x39mm.]]
-'''M16-A1 5.56x45mm:'''
+'''AKS-74:'''
-[[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Some people say they aren't as durable as the modern issue M16A2 and M16A4, and for the most part, they are right. It also doesn't fire in 3 shot bursts, which I'm not a fan of. I'm really just a sucker for the classic look, and if I absolutely need an A2 barrel upper or flat top, I can change it out.]]
+[[Image:AKS-74.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKS-74 - 5.45x39mm.]]
-[[Image:Colt_Model_733.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|This is an M16A1 mocked up as a Model 733, or rather just a Model 733 since they're all built on whatever can be found. When the zombies come, I want one of these.]]
-Yes, it has a bad reputation, but it's got personality a plenty. Your dad carried this black menace in 'Nam. Hell, it might have been you. Though it might not work, it does a decent job when it does. Accuracy, lightweight, and lower recoil make it a decent rifle. Granted the 5.56 round is not too hot, it's designed to apply the maximum amount of damage without a fatality. Thanks NATO. Why kill the guy when you can get him on the floor and have two medics drag him to safety, where he'll most likely bleed out? Politically correct murder, in a triangular plastic and metal mechanical mediocrity. God Bless America.
+'''M16-A1:'''
+[[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 5.56x45mm.]]
+'M4A1 Carbine:'''
+[[Image:ColtM4A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm.]]
+'''Colt Model 733:'''
+[[Image:Colt_Model_733.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Colt Model 733 with A1 upper receiver - 5.56x45mm.]]
+'''Remington 700 Series'''
+[[Image:RemingtonPSS700.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Remington 700PSS with Leupold Mark 4 scope and Harris bipod - .300 Win Mag.]]
-If I could get any type of build, it would have the 11.5 inch barrel of a Model 733 for it's versatility and ease of use in close quarters. I refer to it as an "American Krinkov" as it's scaling down from the M16 series is like the AKS-74U is to the AK-74.
 '''Remington 870 Series:'''
-[[Image:Remington870NewModel.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mine is configured similarly to this one, and I must say I am pleased with it.]]
+[[Image:Remington870NewModel.jpg‎ |thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 Police Magnum with Black Synthetic Furniture - 12 Gauge.]]
-Namely the standard and Marine Magnum. Seven shells, tight build, good finishes. Throw a surefire forend on and you have a premium pump action shotgun.
 '''Benelli M4:'''
-[[Image:Benelli m4 2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|If you can afford it, buy one of these things.]]
+[[Image:Benelli m4 2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Benelli M4 - 12 Gauge.]]
-The sights on it are to die for, and 7+1 is fantastic. Nothing beats this semiautomatic shotgun.
-'''Remington 700 Series'''
+'''Ithaca 37'''
+[[Image:IthacaModel37.jpg|thumb|400px|right|Ithaca Model 37 riot version - 12 Gauge.]]
-[[Image:Remington_700_BDL.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|My buddy has one of these from the '60s and he's a crack shot at 200 yards. I'd love one of these buggers for showing off how big of a douchebag sniper guy I am, heheheheh. Those people who ruin the pride of sniping aside, I like snipers, so no offense fellas.]]
-Accurate Bolt Action Sniper Rifle with a legendary bolt and proper aesthetics. Can't wait to own one.

+[[Image:MP5A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|HK MP5A3 - 9x19mm.]]
