Wish List...

Okay. All this coverage of SHOT Show last week has got me drooling...

Now, living in the Volksrepublik of MA, where I am subject to not only the insidious AWB (coming soon to a state near you courtesy of the Obama administration!), but also the approved firearms roster, I'm passing on (almost all of) the rifles. And most of the pistols. However, several caught my eye...

Smith & Wesson 9mm 1911. Whoa. S&W makes a mighty fine 1911 to start with. Add in that most (all?) of their handguns are MA-compliant, and it's quite probable that this fine gun might be available here behind the red curtain. Hmm, a single-stack 1911 with 10+1 capacity to practice with... Hmmm...

Smith & Wesson model 310 Night Guard. Damn, but that's a sexy lookin' wheelgun. Load with hot 10mm loads for home defense or walking in the woods, practice with inexpensive .40 S&W FMJs at the range. What's not to love?

SigSauer P238. (thanks to Gun Nuts for the pic). Call it a Mustang for the aughts if you will, an updated and refreshed version of Colt's 1911-based single-stack .380 ACP pocket gun. Sure, it's not practical, as it's the same capacity as my P3AT but heavier, thicker, and longer. But it's 1911-based!!!

Remington model 7615. Apparently there's now an all-black version of what was formerly a camo- or wood-only rifle. Takes AR-15 magazines, of which I have a bunch. Looks like it would be a right fun plinker - and I'm a sucker for pump-action rifles...

That's what caught my eye from the coverage of SHOT Show this year. I'll admit to not paying as much attention as the next gunnie, as I'll only wind up frustrated and angry at the lack of offerings for those of us trapped in gun-unfriendly states. Of course, once the Annointed One gets his way and the AWB is reinstated (and tightened, of course), we'll all be in this together, won't we???

That is all.
