Food/wine, DIY audio, travelling, figurative acrylic painting, writing/reading. Luckily, never had an auto obsession...
Haha, I have four of my own too. Guess we both had sex as a hobby :laugh:
Since our government's hand gun ban in 1997 I've taken to air pistols, not the same but, cheaper and fun.
Spent 25yrs shooting handguns in competition, some of the best fun days ever.
Some range photos before the ban.
Me 3rd from right.
My Ex pistols.
Might be good to let folks here know what kind of watch tools all newbies here should have and where to get them (example, watch case opener, small screw drivers, silicon grease, etc) please.I'm mostly into watches. Collecting, repairing, buying selling and trading. I also have a classic car and do my own mechanical work on it as well as our daily drivers. I'm into photography and collect coins. I collect guns and shoot regularly. Basically I've got far too many hobbies for my own good!
So what happened to your pistols? Were you compensated for them or were they just confiscated?
No way, those are great. The top right, and the second from the bottom left are my favorite. I quite like the texture, and application of color.
We were compensated for surrendering our handguns. About 2/3 their true value. They also paid for leather work and loading presses etc.
I think I ended up with about UK£4k----- $6000 US
Would sooner have my pistols than the cash. We can still own shotguns but no more than 3 round mag, otherwise we need section 1 licence.
Full bore rifles bolt or lever action only, no self loader.
We can also own 22 self loaders like the Ruger 10/22.

I have quite a few rather expensive hobbies unfortunately. Watches. Reps and gens.
Shotguns. Mostly trap shooting. I shoot a Perazzi if anyone knows what that is.
Cycling. I keep it rather budget oriented I ride a mid tier motobecane
Photography I thought it wouldn't be too expensive but good dslr and array of prime lenses multiple speed lights and strobes adds up.
Cigars. $$$$$
A little hifi and headfi
Pipe smoking but not as often
And then drinking. Whiskey whisky wine whatever it is gets way expensive I'm afraid.
Let's just say this forum hasn't helped me save any money at all
