As Im sure ur aware, I was part of the SEAL Community for many years.... I found that I had more firepower and area control with a stumped sawed off Mossberg... Less rounds of course, but I never got into a pistol fight before hehe...

I dont carry a concealed pistol anymore, and I cannot confirm or deny that I own any weapons, but I like the H&K family of weaps very much so...

Only pistol/revolver that I own myself is a .38 Special snub nose. The only reason I have it is because my grandfather handed it down to me.

I do own several rifles and shotguns though and several WW2 German Mauser rifles.

I own a Mossberg 590 (Milspec version with heat shield, parkerized, 8+1 rounds, etc). But not sawed off and not "stumped" or with a pistol grip. Sawed off would be illegal doncha know.

.38 revolver is entirely adequate, if you can hit with it. Use the 158gr bullets and don't load it with the +Ps. They only ruin your night vision and don't go any faster out of a snubbie. I personally find these guns hard to shoot accurately, but they are a proven stopper.

I enjoy shooting it at the range and have gotten pretty good at it.

True Connecticut is as bad as NYC when it comes to owning firearms.

What are the firearms laws in Germany, Adler? In NYC they have a concealed carry law, but only politicians and celebrities are issued a permit. I am under the impression that most west European countries only allow pistols, revolvers and rifles that are not military calibers. And they are subject to severe restrictions on use and storage (e.g., you have to store them at a range and under lock and key). Is Germany in a total ban?

Pretty much they only allow hunting rifles and it is very hard to get a permit for it.

Don't you need to belong to a hunting club also which in itself is hard to get into?
