Hi my name is Stan and i'm a shootaholic

[gunlore]

Hi to all on the forum,
I am corditely challenged i.e I love the smell of burning gunpowder.I was born like that and much to my parents surprise I shot my way out of the closet.
I have been around firearms my whole life, I was a dealer for 21 years.I have trained all around the world.I trained with Massad Ayoob,the late Colonel Jeff Cooper,The late Joe Grant-Grierson.
I have NRA law enforcement and civillian instructor ratings ,I was a training counsellor with ITA before the laws changed and due to business pressures I did not register through the Seta.I used to train people in Germany.I am a 15 year veteran of the police.Did the Army and am also an ardent bowhunter and tactical knife nut.Well thats me in a nutshell.
P.S I have been to the Heckler & Koch factory and I think that GunFreeSA'S rantings should be classed as hate speech. :police: fighting0035 fighting0002 tup

I was in Germany and my friend had sent his target P9S in 45acp for a little repair.The gun was 10 years old and had ,had tend of thousands of rounds through it.True to German perfection the gun was fixed free of charge , but H&K were horrified that the gun had broken and invited him for a tour of the facillities.That involved a good lunch and even better beer.H&k also make machine tools and c&C machines.I saw the p7 line was and still is my favorite handgun and met a guy who signs himself as Pixa on all the test targets that come with the guns.Ze military firearm section was unfortunately off limits.
