Quotation Time

[Tom Kinnaird]

Remember the song in that movie "Oliver?" "I think I'd better think it out again." I have been thinking of replacing my Makarov 9X18 with another gun. Reading all the posts on this forum and others--trying to decide just what would be the "perfect" firearm. Well--I decided. After an ungodly amount of powder burned in the Mak and my PA63s, I've gotten to were I can pretty well call my shots out to thirty yards. Like Will Sonnet used to say--"No brag-just fact." I like to have the range to myself because I can practice "snatching" the pistol off the shooting table and snapping off rounds like an "oh s***" situation. I have a "rebuild kit" for the Mak, and with care, that pistol will outlast me. Ammo is "reasonable," and with the proper loading, will pretty much handle any "situation." Years ago "they" made me memorize: "(It) is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know it is the hits that count. We will hit...." So I will keep reading your posts and dreaming of that "perfect gun," and pracitice, practice, practice, with this Mak and the PA63s. Thanks for helping me make up my mind guys (and "dolls.")

So after "reviewing the situation" you've decided to keep your trusty Mak and PA63's. In my book, that's a wise move. Not because they are great guns necessarily, but because I have always later regretted getting rid of any guns I had. I think that down the road you would also. I believe many here will agree with that. You'll find better ones later, no doubt, even if "you've got to pick a pocket or two" to obtain them.

You Are Expressly Forbidden To Get Rid Of Any Of Your Current Guns. I Have Spoken.

Seriously, if you're that well practiced, keep 'em. You'll only regret it if you part with them.

You are, however, encouraged to get something bigger. Like a .45, for instance.

And a .40.

And a 9 mm. X 19.

And a .357 Sig.

And a .44 mag.

And a _______.

Ad infinitum.

Always More. Never Less. Sell Nothing. I Have Spoken Again.
