M 38 Carcano. Sporterized (NOT BY ME). Soft recoil. Had to be careful with the ammo though. American 6.5 uses a .264 Bullet. Italian 6.5 uses a .268 bullet. The .264 bullet doesn't seat in the groves well and accuracy suffers, Made in the year 22 (Of Il Duci's reign). He didn't acknowledge the 1942 Anno Domini . I had the calvary carbine with folding bayonet, but sold it. wish I hadn't now. That was neater.
 
Some of my faves are the Beretta Border Marshall in .40, a Remington XP 100, S&W M&P with frame safety in .40, A Beretta X performance in .40/.357 Sig.

I had to help a guy find some 9mm rimfire shotgun rounds for his. So unless you are him, there are two of you out there.
 
I have a Davis 32 from back in the day. A horrible zinc gun, I think.

Been waiting for a "buy back" so I can get something for it 🤪

Quite a few, got two 325 WSM's I think it is a great cartridge but like most 8mm cartridges, just not accepted in the US. Same with the 8mm REM Mag.


Im actually thinking of having an 8mag built.

Stainless M70 action, McMillan stock, haven't decided on a barrel yet.

Keep going back and forth between 8mag and .358STA
 
AMT 45 ACP Backup. The pistol of last resort. Hammer-fired double-action only. 36 pound trigger pull, violent recoil. Too small to properly hold onto so recoil is insane. You can only get two fingers on the grip.
Accuracy is all over the target because of the ridiculously heavy and long trigger pull.
I still own this thing simply because it has some collector value.

Speaking of Italians, I have a 25acp Galesi and its USA made cousin a Beretta Tomcat.

Yeah a few rifles, the most not popular would be a .358 Norma Mag custom built rifle with a FN action, composite stock, Timmey trigger and Douglas barrel. Lucky I handload even at that I just weeks ago found some new brass, been looking for about 15 years. Brass and ammo is available in England and Canada, no one would sell me brass from those countries. Norma USA lists brass, ammo and bullets. Only bullets in stock the others don't even show up on their current office computers as ever been stocked. I know I phoned them 2 times in 3 years.
My guess is the supply I got was imported from Norma Sweden.

Can't get ammo. You win unpopular gun post (for now)
