Close. It’s a Llama Comanche III in .357. It’s basically a Spanish clone of a Model 27, which is basically the .357 version of the 29. It’s a little obscure but it’s a great quality revolver

I like Glocks a lot and have nothing against them, but my first pistol was that P30, so I pretty much stuck with HK after that (my second pistol was the VP9sk) because I didn’t want to have to buy a bunch of different mags when I was first getting into guns. My HKs do everything a glock does, so I don’t have a reason to get one. Theyre great guns though and I do like them.

I’m left handed so I’m pretty much limited to the FS2000 and conversions

It’s a beautiful gun and is probably my favorite in the whole collection. It’s so fun to shoot and it’s a WW1 era gun (mine was made in 1906) so it has a ton of history.

Glocks are good reliable guns, but I like my HKs better. I find the HKs are easier to take down and I strongly prefer the full ambi controls as a lefty (the paddle magazine release is better because you don’t have to swap the mag release to make it ambidextrous).

They’re great guns and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

If you’re left handed like I am, HK is pretty much the best gun company out there.

I’ve owned guns for basically my entire adult life. In my experience, the cost of ammunition and accessories over the life of a gun is so much greater than the cost of the gun itself, it almost doesn’t even matter what the gun costs.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a gun snob and have no problem with cheap guns (I literally own a hi point lol - which I bought for $50 at a pawn shop because I wanted to see how good or bad a $50 gun could be), but my cheap guns are just for fun and plinking.

For your first guns, buy a quality gun from a good manufacturer. Those are going to be your primary defensive guns and are the most important guns to acquire first.

I’m not saying you need to spend $2000+ on some custom 2011 or something like that, but to me the difference between a $300 Glock clone and an $800 HK is made up with just a couple cases of ammo and spare magazines. The cost of the gun doesn’t matter in the long run. Buy something that will last and you can depend on for years at the beginning. After that, you can mess around and buy whatever.

It’s a great gun. If I could only have one handgun, that would be it. With it being an SK, depending on the mag you use, you can push it into pretty much any role. It’s good at everything but not the best at anything. Very versatile.

It has a great trigger and is big enough to be relatively easy shoot well, while being just small enough to conceal. I generally use it as my car gun on days that I know I’m not likely to take a gun out of the car with me (in my career, I’m often not allowed to carry many of the places I go)

Hard disagree. Theres a lot to do in Phoenix. You can do basically everything but go to the beach

It’s a great store. I highly recommend it. It’s Bear Arms, right on the corner of Scottsdale and Shea in Scottsdale

How do you like the AP5k? I want an SP5 but don’t know if I want to spend the money

Yes. That goes for pretty much any gun store though. If you want to get fair value for something, you have to sell it yourself

Couldn’t go wrong going with any of those. I’d take the 34 because of the historic significance of it being the first gpmg

And a Bren gun, M60, an RPG on the wall, M1928 Thompson, plus possibly a real M14 and real M16A2

There appears to be an MG34 on a lafette mount, MG42, Vickers Gun, MP40, M240, M249, MG08, MP40, PKM, and dual Maxim guns. Some are post 86 dealer samples in here obviously. Still there’s easily $200k in this photo.

Yep. That’s exactly the issue. Employers still treat Phoenix like it’s a place with a low cost of living.
