[eccvets]

5-7, still got it and its bad ***!

[Voo]

Smith & Wesson 686+ bought sometime in the mid 90's.

I still have it.. somewhere? :X

My first is a Springfield XD40 and I still have it!!

They were in Manhattan Beach on Sepulveda; I know what you mean though, they had the best prices and everything was negotiable! I bought lots of guns from them after wheelin' and dealin' an awesome price with Clint!

SCMA-1

That's where I first visited them just off of 2ns street and Sepulveda. They later moved into the shopping center on the corner of Aviation and Prospect in Hermosa and finally to 5th st and PCH also in Hermosa.

I bought a ton of stuff from them in their two later locations, but not when they were in Manhattan.

Prices were definitely negotiable, which is how I got that carppy Parker .45 for $145. I think they got the better end of the deal, though...

Ruger Mk. II with 5.5" bull barrel. Bought it for $80 and it was the most accurate pistol I have ever shot. Then it got stolen out of my pickup truck while I was at my friend's house helping him assemble a bunk bed.

It may be worth it if it was a girls bed, and you got to use it

My first and only one, so far, XD 9 service model. Bought back in January and dont think I will ever get rid of it.

Oh, that's right; I remember that they moved to Aviation and Prospect. That was the last location I visited of theirs. I'd go to the Cerritos Armory at lunch time because I didn't work too far from there. Their prices were really spiking by the time they opened the Cerritos store and by that time I had discovered B&E who was much better than them in prices.

WTF? There is zero wear anywhere on the 229, either of the Emersons, or the surefire. The only thing worse than not having such nice gear is having it and never using it for anything but photo ops!

What model Emerson is that by the way? I've been carrying a Mini-Comm BTS for years, but I think I like the blade design on that a bit better. Great knives. (And that is an awesome pic, I'm just teasin you about the lack of wear).

On topic: My first handgun was a Springfield Mil-Spec. I've done a little work to it myself since I got it, last thing I'm planning on is sending it out to Heinie or Novak for new sights. It's my baby, prefer it to my other guns hands down, and often carry it even though I have a Lightweight Champion that's slightly more comfortable. I don't have any good pics, I'll see if I can snap one later and post it up.

That picture was taken when they were new.. They are both CQC-15's one of the best Tanto re curve design from Emerson IMO...

Springfield XD 40, still have it.

[leitung]

Mine was my Glock 19, I still have it and carry it now and then. I don't think I could ever part with it.
