There must be others around here who are interested in some form of shooting. When I lived in England I shot skeet and sporting clays. I also had handguns for target shooting until 1986 when they were banned. I had a S&W .44 magnum and an S&W .357 magnum at that time.
Now that I'm in the USA I just decided to take up target shooting again and recently purchased a 9mm Walther PPQ which I am very happy with so far.

 

what happened to the guns when the handguns were banned?

 

I used to shoot skeet almost every weekend....haven't been out in several years now, tho. Ain't nuthin like (legally)blowing the crap outta clay pigeons!!
