    The question that occurs to me most is who has 23 hand guns? If you are a pistol club armourer holding for a bunch of members yet to get their B endorsement you might but really? 23?

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    i thought i'd be happy with my XD for IPSC shooting.

    then i discovered action and got a Tanfoglio.

    with the price of ammo, i thought a Ruger would help out with the training.

    but then someone introduced me to speed steel and it i enjoy it best with a .45.

    and now i'm thinking of trying IPSC, action, etc with a revolver…

    it just creeps up on ya, y'know.

    Today someone told me who the victim was, and what else was stolen alongside the firearms. I really hope it isn't true because it's some extremely bad news for pistol shooters in Otago. I don't want to elaborate and start a panic in case it isn't accurate but watch this space. =(
