It just called to me from across the room at Outdoor America

Now that I've seen the new Springfield Armory Saint Edge PDW Pistol (5.56 Nato / .223) in the American Rifleman magazine I think it's calling me too........... It's haunting me.
Oh man, I like that Springfield too...

Said he elevated about 6ft over the target. First shot, first time he'd ever handled a Luger!! Impressed me, for sure!!
I have to admit, it wasn't the first time I'd fired a 9mm at that 300 yd steel. It was the first time shooting any Luger though. I was impressed with the pistol. :clap3:

Edit: My expensive gun is a 12 ga SXS shotgun built by Fausti of Italy. I got to select the engraving on the receiver. It's so intricate that you can see the slot of the screw head but not the outline of the screw itself. I've taken it hunting for upland game a few times.

Ditto - it may be inefficient in 5.56, but it is way cool. Wonder if they’ll produce a 300 Blackout version, which I think would be better with such a short barrel.
We can only keep our fingers crossed and keep an eye out. If they do get out of my way cause I'll be ready to plunk down my hard earned cash.

44 AUTO MAG 10 inch barrel. Cost 700$. In camp deer hunters were shooting at pennies & not hitting any . They talked me into trying the Auto mag . Hit penny almost dead center. Some one stole the penny out of my desk drawer at work.
