As some of you know, in addition to fishing and boating, I also enjoy shooting. Rob's post about the $20,000 shotgun got me thinking about how much I enjoy plinking or serious target shooting.
My favorite toy is my Beretta Border Marshall .40 cal handgun. I used to own a Beretta 92 9mm (the old 15-round capacity clips), but I sold it and another pistol to when I was trying to buy my wife's engagement ring. After we got engaged, and she found out I had sold all of my guns except one pistol and my hunting rifle, she promised to buy me a new pistol for our fifth anniversary.
This Border Marshall has tritium sights and rubber grips. It shoots like butter. The first time I fired it, I put 9 .40 cal rounds through what ended up being one big ragged hole in a B-27 sillouette target at 50 feet with one "flier" that was about four inches outside the big hole.
Some of the other "pieces" I have in my collection include:
Smith & Wesson 686 stainless .357 (4" barrel)
Ruger SP-101 stainless 5-shot .357 (2" barrel)
Walther PPK/S .380
Colt Gold Cup Mark IV .45 auto (blued with walnut grips)
Browning Hi-Power 9mm
Sporterized 1903 Springfield .30-06 (my deer/elk rifle)
Colt AR-15A1 Sporter
Remington 870 Express Turkey shotgun
