Thanks for the kind words guys. Yep it's been quite good fun and acurate too - so it's up to me to shoot well with it, no excuses like the gun glub rentals sights are off
Ummm, Jeff. It's not easy.
Go to a pistol club a few times.
If they think you are OK they will ask you to join (no ganstas, druggies...)
Attend at least 12 club days (Sundays) in a 6 month perid.
Shoot in at least 6 competions (pretty friendly easy sort of stuff)
The club decides if you are suitable to get a B category gun license (Everyone has an A license for rifles/shotguns which is only about a 1 hour process).
You get a document to procure and take it to the Police and they give you a document to give to the gun seller.
Phew. The idea is to make it too hard or frustrating for gansta dudes get handguns.
Ury914, I bought it at a guns and Militaria auction. I could have gone mad there buying lots of stuff. Bren guns, Naxi SS officers daggers and medals, mortar launchers... see
http://www.militaria.co.nz/ I paid New Zealand $430 plus commission $470 which in US Dollars works out to be $263
Normy, a 410, I've still got the one my Dad bought me when I was a lil' fella. A light single barrell thing - awful kick to it. My Dad was national champ at skeet shooting and used to take me along with the 410 when I was 8 LOL.
