Dev

best,

Rp.

Great pictures,Anand.Looking at your collection,which is very nice,Seems you really had great fun in the US.Thank you for sharing.

Vikram

Very nice, Anand! I especially like the truck pic! Thanks for sharing.

Great pictures, Anand! Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks Dev, Doc, Vikram, timmy and Ram! I have more pictures but will have to find them. I have been a fan of the safari Movies (basically anything hunting,shooting related or wildlife especially dangerous game) and so the shot on the truck was almost "Safari"esque for me.

By the way Doc, "Sholay" happens to be one of my all time favourites, especially the shoot out on the bridge with Jai sending Veeru away with the flip of the coin!

Vikram,I had about as much fun in the USA as any "gun nut"(politically correct= firearms maniac?) could have had! One of my best friends is a gunsmith and our conversations were endless. We used to relax on weekends by the barbeque, go to gunshows or to the range and our discussions were some of the most memorable ones I will ever have during this life!

The saddest part is that even a foreign government is willing to trust me with all these cool guns but not my own Government .I gave away all my guns to my friend and came back with only one pistol.

Great Photos Anand and well said - "The saddest part is that even a foreign government is willing to trust me with all these cool guns but not my own Government "..

Nice posse you have there ...

Hello Anand
Gone through your photographs, thanks for sharing, AND THATS IT, I am heading for the US of A for some really concentrated handgunning. By the way, your gripping both double and single handed is good! You seem to have undergone some formal training?
Finally, upload a few more of your old photographs.
Regards

Hi ngrewal thanks!

hvj1, Most of my shooting and gun handling skills are self taught albeit from reading! But I did get some training from an NRA certified instructor for a certificate that I needed for my Concealed Carry License from Utah. The training was mostly safe gun handling and shooting. I also took the Hunters' Education Class that you need for a certificate/card that you need for a Hunteing License.

I have been shooting for a while so the grip is almost natural when it comes to semi autos, funnily I struggle a lot with gripping revolvers correctly. Will do the photos soon.
Regards,
Anand

Hi Anand
Interestingly, I found it initially a little odd to grip a revolver in weaver fashion, that is because I have always been used to the (near) parallel grips of the autos. The curvature of the revolver grips do make it slightly odd.

Nice photographs, thanks for sharing.
