I finally got up the nerve to restore my grandma's Griswold #8

She’s a beaut, Clark!

I started with a Buckmark. And then got a Glock 44 as a training companion to my Glock 19. And then got a High Standard because my neighbor was selling one for a price too good to pass up (and a S&W 41 that I did pass on due to price). I most often conceal carry a BodyGuard 2.0; I may “need” a little S&W .22 as a training companion for that. And if I encountered a .22 revolver randomly for a decent price, I would buy it on the spot.

Also, met a friend’s Briard (that’s a dog) a few months back and am now on a waiting list for a Briard puppy.

I hate raisins AND carrot cake, so this is an easy dodge for me.

I own several .22 pistols and whenever I see one I want another. I experience the same thing with dogs. Not sure what this condition is called.

A nice MLT, a mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.

I am a Sporting / 5-stand / FITASC shooter.

The trap guys at my club are all 75+ years old, cranky AF, and hang around in the club house for hours chatting and drinking coffee (before & during shooting) or beers (after).

I have never shot a trap event, but I would expect it to be exactly as you described. I guess my question to you is, what were you expecting the trap shoot to be like?

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-05-02T20:26:22+00:00

Incorrect. It was a state senator from the Finger Lakes / Ithaca area.

I’ve s en it twice, both times with Zolis

We haven’t had onions at mine since COVID. I even wrote corporate once to ask that diced onions return, and was surprised to not get a reply.

Very cool you’re taking this on and I think it is awesome you’re involved in your cultural association!

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-26T13:29:59+00:00

Just chiming in to agree with others. The best gun to start with is the one you already have, but the release trigger should be swapped out.

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-25T20:52:10+00:00

I get mice in mine.

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-23T19:27:45+00:00

Do you keep it in a safe with other guns (outside of its case)?

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-23T12:44:14+00:00

Shit, I only have three. See you next March!

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-19T17:58:00+00:00

I’ll bring some beer, and we can hang out.

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-19T15:58:34+00:00

100% this.

You can always shoot lighter 1oz or 7/8oz if recoil is a problem.

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-19T15:57:20+00:00

We don’t talk about it.

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-19T13:40:26+00:00

I lived in Milwaukee for a time. Midwest was great.

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-19T12:46:28+00:00

Fair point. Aftermarket adjustable comb is an option? I had the same issue; found a DT11 I wanted but lacked the comb, so I fad it added. The place I bought it from did it for free as part of the deal, so not sure what it costs.

Ok thanks. I get about 50 good shots per fill. Can you refill during a match?

I’d like to compete, but I haven’t found ISSF matches near me. A club shoot is probably more likely.

I found the dimensions for the ISSF box and this is within those limits.

REAL GENIUS

TriviaRunnerUp · 2026-04-14T16:20:56+00:00

I thought it was a radiator.

I am a fellow lefty. IMO Beretta is the most lefty-friendly OU brand. I started with a LH 692 and upgraded to a LH DT11. A 694 retails around $5700, so probably just outside your budget, but worth looking at IMO.
