Now, if you're talking about a Makarov in 9x18....that is a different story.

I was thinking of getting a USP .45 this spring, if we can still buy guns!... There are like no gun laws in Alaska so I shouldn't have a hard time buying one, besides coming up with the money. What are your (anyone's) thoughts

I'm a dumb shotgunner.

I would suggest getting a synthetic lubrication like TW25B instead of oil. Sometimes that gun oil will burn up and using too much of it attracts crap.

Nice to see this thread on here, always love talking guns anytime, esp. on a boring flight. Enjoyed reading all of your posts...
Some of my collection:
Glock 23 compact: my concealed carry gun
Best carry pistol out there in my lowly opinion. Simple / Fires every time / 13+1 / safe action trigger. Added an extended slide and mag release, trijicon sights, a storm lake barrel, 3lb trigger bar, high cap mags. Also love the Fobus holsters for these, esp the IWB setup, can wear shorts and a t-shirt and you'd never know i could ruin your day.
S&W 1022 (pistol)
Sig Sauer P229
Bushmaster AR-15
Two Remington 1903's
Two Mauser's
Also, like others I have a good sized collection of antiques, most are S&W's plus a few colts, remintons, and now defunct old german models. My great grandfather and grandfather were both guns collectors. Passed to me were a few Colt derringers, Model 1 and 3 S&W's (a few of each), S&W hammerless .32 and .38 doubleactions, S&W .38 hand ejectors, 4mm Hitler youth rifle (brought back from the war), S&W .357 and two .38 target models. I can pretty such show you the complete history of Smith & Wesson. My prized possession is a S&W .44 Russian. Haven't been able to find the complete history on it but it has nice gold inlays, and was oviously special made for someone important. Another interesting one is a old .22 german bicycle pistol. Has a 10" barrel and special detachable stock, it was made to easily clip onto your bike, and I guess round up your dinner on the way home...
