I owned a few pistols before they were banned here. I do have a few rifles still though
I had a real nice 1911GovCom, 6" 686 and a CZ75 copy and to be honest if I could have carried I'd have prefered a revolver, not a 6" but something shorter.
I'm probably not contributing much to this thread...
just thought I post my thoughts

You do us a service by reminding us of what can happen to our guns if we don't remain vigilant.
Post on, my friend.

Indeed
What exactly happened and "why " did you give them up?
|
The law changed in the UK banning all pistols (not black powder) and we lost our full bore semi-auto's.
We still own and use AR's but only in straight pull configuration.
Here's mine www.hunt101.com/img/313363.JPG
I had to hand in all my pistols before a pre-set date to the local po-po.
I lost 22lr Bernadelli semi auto target pistol 9mm ITM AT84 (CZ Copy) S&W 686 6" (mint).357 9mm Browning Colt Government Comander .45
I used to take my wife pistol shooting twice a week. We posed no threat to anyone. We suffered the loss of our sport/pastime even though we still shoot rifles.
Here's an old pic of 3 of my pistols before I "lost" them
