Indians For Guns

Hi all

we seem to have a fairly active medic population in our forum. it would be fun to see what trends we have as far as gun interests, ownerships and specialties go.

so, may i invite all my doctor friends and members to give us a short intro about themselves, and the guns that they own.

i'm going to start with myself.

i am an anaesthetist with an (enforced) interest in emergency medicine and critical care(which means i do on calls in those specialities at the point of a gun......and for money, of course !). initially based (grad MBBS, post grad MD)in delhi, but currently working/studying/researching at the university hospital, cambridge,U.K.

i own:

an IHP 35 in 0.22 (but of course)
an AA prosport in 0.177
a mehar singh 12g o/u
a beretta 686e 12g o/u multichoked sporter
plus a varied assortement of telescopic sights...... deben hawkes,nikko sterlings and so forth.

and am scheduled to inherit a few interesting things, which i dare not reveal unless i lay my hands on them officially (there's many a slip.....remember).

looking forwards to your revealations!

Asif,

OT but for a little bit more than what you would pay for an IOF .22 junk ,you can get a H&R .32 top break revolver.

penpusher

penpusher!

you have stimulated my interest! what is the market value of a H&R break top revolver in .32.........someone has been trying to sell me one for some time, but with a deal that starts with "aapko jo theek lage daktarsaheb", i find it hard to open my mouth for a price .

asif.......you are man after my own heart sir! ogling at 303s has been a childhood habit, only partly replaced with ogling at the black cat HKs. maybe someday with get one, spruce and 'scope it up. btw, what do the cartridges cost in india?

Gentlemen,

Could I suggest a change in the title of this thread from "Healers turned shooters" to "healers and shooters?"

The present title sounds like Jekyll turned Hyde or good boy turned bad, and I would suggest that this is not a good way of looking at the medical profession!

Cheers!

hamiclar01,

The fellow is obvioulsy afraid of quoting a price.Fears asking for too less or asking for too much and losing a customer.H&R top break revolvers are not in great demand or for that matter 5 shot revolvers.Price would depend upon condition.One in very good condition would be for about 45-70,000/- (depends upon greed).If you are lucky you might get one for about 45,000/-. Just tell him that this is your budget and then see what he has to say.

Thanks for the idea penpusher, Handled a couple Iver Johnson I think, or might have been a H&R. The 32 HR magnum at one time did interest me...
Anand, 450/400? between 250 -500 a pop!
-The smelling salts, quick!!

And if you had seen the man shoot, you'd have thought he was born with a double in his hand!

If u really want to know why healers are such good shots, just think of your childhood bottoms! Thats where they got their target practice...

Ah! Now the light dawns! With that in mind, I guess the rest of us don't need to feel so bad about being such lousy shots in comparison!
