Still cataloging. Today may be a rifle or shotgun day. Here are the semi-autos. A bit sparse compared to other "aquisition syndrome" catagories (but I'm working on a PM 7 10mm). Clockwise from the Tan Para USA 14-45 (an OIF commerative from the last deplopyment), S&W 22A, H&K VP 70Z 9mm, H&K USP Compact w/ LEM trigger 40S&W, High Standard 22, Kimber SS Compact 45 ACP, Glock 27 40 S&W.
The HS 22 is where everything began as about a 12 y/o boy. Dad gave that to me and said one day I'd be good enought to hit squacks with it. That afternoon, I came home with a rabbit for dinner. My first game bagged w/ a handgun. Nowadays, you probably wouldn't give a 12 y/o boy a gun and send him out the door. Of course, it was rural Nebraska in the 70s…

Love it. That HS is best lookin one of the bunch. I also learned to shoot with one... again back in the early 70's rural Idaho. Dad never sent me out alone with it though.

Very nice too. We weren't lucky enough to have pistol in 22 growing up though we had rifles! mid 60s , Dad would some times break out his bring backs from WW11, That's when the fun began!

I tried to post on this one earlier but fat finger messed me up.
Very nice collection, I like semi autos, but for me as a reloader, I need to lay out a tarp to catch the brass! They look like fun!

My friend, that is a very, very, very nice group you have there. The H & K VP-70 is outstanding. I remember when it was introduced there was outcry and great concern from law enforcement about it being a plastic gun and not being able to detect it with the detection equipment of the day.

Thanks. The only gripe about the VP70 is the trigger. It used to break at over 20 lbs. I found a ruger spring that substitutes and now its just a terribly long pull, but at least I no longer feel like I spent an hour on a gripper.
I keep it around just beacause. Had it for sale a few times but it generated no real interest.
It does a number on Aliens (Sigourney Weaver type) though…..
