i own and shoot a heavily modded crosman 1377c air pistol. mods undertaken by myself.....its truly an addiction. i own a couple other airguns as well. i will be in india next week for a 10-day visit, will surely check your local stores for airgun stuff.

i live in cape town south africa. my two friends and i are flying into India next week, real excitement for me! it will be my very first visit there...looking forward to seeing the origins of my indian heritage!

i do lots of shooting here, and i hunt frequently.
i own a 9mm handgun for defense, a .22lr rimfire for lots of plinking and taking small to medium game over short distances, and a BSA Mercury .177 springer, and my little powerhouse, the crosman 1377c air pistol....which shoots 10.49gr Gamo TS-10 pellets, from a 10.25" barrel, at 747fps....amazing power....cannot wait to drop a longer barrel in!

thanks for the great and hospitable welcome guys!

here are two hunting photos....


my first male bushbuck ram shot with a .223rem from 113mts...single soft point 55gr bullet behind the left ear brought it down. these antelope are very infamous for charging hunters when they are threatened or injured. this photo was taken 8 years ago.


nyala ram, an old bull, shot with a 30-06 180rem soft point in the heart from 173mts....the right horn was broken off midway...a wonderful stalk over 2 hours and the bull presented a good broadside shot. i am the guy on the far right.

sorry for pics, photos taken with mobile phones at that time.
cheers

Welcome aboard and do post pictures of your collection

Best
