Ok cool. My collectors pieces are limited to U.S. military standard issue service rifles (Class III where it applies, and only authentic, no parts guns), LMGs and MMGs (DMIL, or Class III). and a select few subguns (again either DMIL or Class III). As I said earlier I recently closed out my U.S. Collection (kind of, the only thing I am missing is a 249), and started up my Russian (I kind of started out odd by going AKM before AK47). But I did get a steal on a MG42 a while back, so I am looking at German weapons as well.
Sides? Not so much, I only own those for personal defense and carry.

I'm not disagreeing.
I'm 45, and I think it's too late for this old dog to learn any new tricks. I've used isocoles, Weaver, and modified versions of both. I don't even think about what I'm doing any more, as it's all repetitive muscle memory now.

Roger that. I understand ya. When I started teaching my wife on different automatics, I just couldn't get used to Tap Rack Ready, it is automatic for me to put the mag in and hit the slide lock cause I use one type of pistol for use (both civ and mil), but as she carries multiple types, she needs to learn Tap Rack Ready (the (*)(*)(*)(*) slide lock on those Glocks are fricking small).
Like I said, we all have our preferences. But it does not hurt to learn. And if I were to start carrying a different side (and it will happen) I would need to learn that method. So I guess I better start learning now. You can teach an old dog new tricks. The MB proved it

So, are you a Marine? I actually learned how to shoot bullseye from a Vietnam-era Gunny who I worked with. He was on the Marine pistol team, and was also an armorer. He built me my first 1911 "hardball" gun, and I also started shooting a Smith Model 52 automatic in .38 special, a 70 Series Gold up, and a Python. That guy could shoot like nobody I've ever seen.

Very nice.

I've had one, and loved it. My milsurp days are over, however. I was lucky enough to own most of them when they were still dirt cheap. Dennis at Empire will pay top dollar for it though.

I may have to get hold of him then. I am always looking to make a good sale. But am unwilling to sell any of my pieces. The last piece I sold was an HK USP Tac. Kicked myself in the arse for it. Will never do it again.
