    It's nice to have an indoor range just 1km up the road from my workshop. Just came back from a 1 hour therapy session.

    Learning proper technique and skills is key. You can also use protective gear to help. Shooting the right way will leave very little bruising or injury. Couple of weeks ago I attended a clay shooting day. I Fired about 200 rounds for the day and didn't have any bruising. I Must add that I shoot regularly and for clays you use 7,5 28 gram loads witch doesn't have a lot of recoil. Hunting and self defense loads like AAA, SSG and SG are heavier and coarser and has quite a bit more sting.

    Hi Gen. Ghost's post is really solid advice Personally I won't go smaller than a Glock 19 (even for a lady). It conceals pretty easy and good. Has 15 round magazine capacity and you can ad a +2 extension to have 17 rounds. G17 magazines also fits in it (of course sticking out a little bit) and don't forget about the 33 round happy sticks Me and my wife both have G19's and we both carry them everyday. I Bought mine in '98 and it has fired thousands of rounds over the years. It's reliability has been 100% and I will recommend it to anybody who wants to buy a pistol.

    Same here, it was a good solution back then though. You can now buy a pump action DM4 from Dave Sheer. Same as back then without a carbine competency. I Knew a toppie some years ago who owned a Ruger Mini-14. I Shot with it plenty of times. They are very good and reliable rifles.

    The video that Hairy posted is quite informative of it's history and the reason they were produced. Back in the 90's the gun laws prohibited civilians from owning carbine/AR/semi-auto rifles. There was a demand from farm owners and security company's for a "military style" weapon. So the only way to make it legal for civilians was to produce it in "pump action" form. Some of it's parts is the exact same parts as the R/LM series rifles.

    Vektor H5 isn't a shotgun. It's 5.56 (223 Rem) pump action rifle. I Know someone who owns one. I'll take some pics of it and post them.

  22. Earlier frames was either raw aluminium or painted metallic green (it was called "Acid Green"), the cable routing lugs were welded onto the frame and there was no internal dropper post cable hole. Later frames were painted either solid green or white (and the final batch black), it has rivet nuts in the frame for bolt on cable routing thingies and a hole in the rear of the seat tube above the BB tube for a internal dropper cable.

    Yes shotgun is far cheaper to run, and loads of fun. But to hunt Springbok or Impala at 200-300 meters you need a different tool.
