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.

Check out the Soviet Maks he has with no import markings.
That's impressive. That's really big $ in the Class III world. I stuck to semi-automatics after our local Sheriff stopped signing Form 4s after I bought my Uzi. I was the last one he signed. At one point I had nearly every long/bolt gun used by all combatants in WW1 &WW2, plus a really mint Garand from November of 1941 with bar-lock sights, and all date matching parts. The only mod that had been done was the small chromed square they did on the gas port hole when they went into the armory.
So lets see if I can name the American collection....
M1 Garand, M1 carbine, M1 Thompson, Browning Automatic Rifle, '03-A3 Springfield, Browning 1917, Browning M2, M3A1 Grease Gun, Reising SMG, Johnson M1941.... Am I missing any?

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  .

I carry Glocks quite a bit here in Florida because of the humidity and the corrosion resistance. They are also lightweight, and easy to carry. My favorite is the model 32 in .357 sig, but I recently bought a 21 slim frame that is working it's way into the rotation after I've shot it some more.

Very nice.
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.

(*)(*)(*)(*), I sold my HK 91, 93, 94, VP70, and a cherry P9S in .45acp. I had a factory nickel P13 at one point, and a K3 with all of the caliber conversions. I never bought any of the newer pistols, as they seemed to large in the hand, and I was a Sig fan.
