For those who don’t know, I am a gun collector, so you can imagine the amount of money that goes into my hobby.  (Tons of it given my tastes in guns).

Just recently I caught one of my Unicorns so to speak.  I purchased my brand new H&K Mk23.

It is has passed the rigorous tests required by SOCOM, has been proven reliable in the harshest conditions ever, and is the ONLY pistol to my knowledge that was design to be a stand-alone platform in leiu of a rifle.  It’s manufacturers have a slogan: “In a world of compromise, some don’t”.  And more importantly, I think it symbolizes and embodies more of what MGTOW truly is.  We don’t compromise our values.  We are able to stand alone.  And we are capable of withstanding the harshest of conditions while manginas seek female approval and while even some bad-boys would be lost if the next day women stopped speaking to them.

I would love to post a photo but am yet to figure out how to do this on this forum as I am not really great with computers or the internet.  (Hey, I can’t be good at everything)  Anyway, if anyone could tell me how to do it, I would love to post that photo.

It is a beautiful weapon. I prefer my 45 to be the 1911 from Kimber.

How to post images.

1) Find the image you want to post

2) Right click on said image and select Copy Image Location

3) Come back to the forum and select the right most button in the text box called Insert/edit image. make sure you are in the Visual tab and not the Text tab. The default is Visual so it should be no problem.

4) In the Source bar, just right click and select paste

5) Then press OK, and your good.

6) Use the white boxes around the image to make it the size you want.

Enjoy!

Much appreciated.

I have 3 Kimbers myself.  The Grand Raptor, Desert Warrior, and Eclipse Custom

I purchased my brand new H&K Mk23

I love my HK45 but my favorite handgun is still my Sig Sauer 1911.

When females come over to my place and see my guns arrayed on the wall in my playroom they inevitably ask “Are those real?” Yep, they’re real… and I keep the rest of them in the safe in the closet here. I don’t really think of myself as a collector but when you get past 10, it’s hard to talk about “need”.

No problem, though, the word need is banned in my house anyway. I don’t need any guns… but I want them and I will buy them.

I love firearms, they make me feel happy…

I have heard the whole “need” deal too. But that is really just someone saying for “I don’t like it and I don’t like you owning it.” Pretty similar to some relatives asking me “When are you gonna get married, again?” It is like they are saying “We want you to do X with your life.”

The last one that asked me why I “needed” my M4 Carbine was from NY. I told her she would prefer to shoot that one over one of the more “traditional” looking guns. She found out she liked my PS-90 and my Five-seveN more than any other firearms. When we were at the gun store and I asked to look at the FS2000 they had she snatched it no sooner than the clerk put it over the counter. She had started saying things like “Damn, why are all the guns I like illegal in my home state.”

I am up to 38 guns now, so yeah, I don’t “need” anymore but it is well established that I want more.

Squatch, MGTOW lifestyle is the perfect lifestyle for getting the babies you want without someone else living with you and nagging you to death over it. You should really consider getting back into the hobby.

I like just about any gun. I haven’t owned many, an AK clone, couple of Glocks, a cheap but reliable .22 rifle, and a .380 I keep in my pocket. Love to shoot, though. Went to the range and shot another ex military buddy’s SOCOM, was pretty fun. We also had fun shooting coke cans at 20 yards with my LCP, yeah, not made for that, but it was fun, nonetheless.

H&K makes great guns, but they are pretty pricey, like SIGs, they are twice the cost of a Glock, but you don’t get twice the performance. Most handguns from any major manufacturer are accurate enough. I could hit empty shotgun shells at 30 yards with my Glock 19, no aftermarket parts. That’s more than enough accuracy. It’s not as sexy, but I see firearms more as a tool than anything else, and I train that way.

I don’t really get into the caliber war debate, far as that goes. Anything between 9mm and .45 ACP is going to have pretty similar performance in a hollowpoint round. FMJ is where the .45 really shines.

Like Jimbo, the M4 has a special place in my heart. Carried one overseas, saved my ass a couple times, though being a medic, I generally didn’t get into firefights that often, that was for the SAW gunner that was always with me.

Once I graduate college though, I plan on buying myself a decent rifle.
