This was before Smith got into the gun of the month club and quality control went right into the toilet. We were playing around with new items however, A buddy of mine had a Heckler & Koch P9S in 9 mm. that was rather interesting. It looked like something that George Jetson would tote, but it did shoot well and it prompted me to buy a HK-4, a pocket pistol which was convertible so you could fire 4 different calibers, 380 a.c.p., 32 a.c.p., 25 a.c.p. and 22 L.R. It was a fun little pistol but I let it get away from me a few years back. <br /><br />As I remember the Ruger Mini-14 came out about that time too.Michael W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09400333370979393240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-76853319495595745032012-05-07T19:53:50.518-04:002012-05-07T19:53:50.518-04:00Yep, IPSC/USPSA, and the 70 LS1 Chevelle :-)Yep, IPSC/USPSA, and the 70 LS1 Chevelle :-)Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-55813420855463669042012-05-07T15:46:16.518-04:002012-05-07T15:46:16.518-04:00Why, yes indeedy do!
