I went through class with an elderly lady whom used her late husband's war souvenier German Luger.

 

She could have sold it for thousands that day!!

I used my Desert Eagle in 9mm.  Instructor said he had never seen one used before.  Sadly my oldest son claimed it,looking for another.

I qualified with my Five Seven.  At the time the instructor had never seen one before.

Magnum research still imports them. Just called the Baby Desert Eagle now.

Nice pistol !

Thanks, my first handgun. I sent to S&W and found out it was made in '53. I keep it put up now, and take it out to look at every once and a while.

 

Here's my target from qualifying.

Not actually an odd gun, but in my class, there was a man who came in with a Smith and Wesson snub nosed .38 and a box of .45acp. He couldn't understand why they wouldn't fit.

This is a case where the instructor should be able to require additional training before handing over the certificate.

Smith & Wesson, model 629, .44 magnum, 8 3/8" barrel.

 

A guy walked over to me and asked... "Don't see how you handle that recoil?"...

 

At first, :shrug: I thought he was joking!

A Desert Eagle XIX may have been in my class. Whatever it was it was huge, 6" barrel I'm sure and a large caliber.

 

This guy bought his girlfriend and dressed like Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. 

I stayed my distance.  :whistle:

Nothing unusual about mine probably it was a Ruger Mark II.  Not really a great carry gun but it worked well for qualifying.

The guy next to me rented a glock in 45.  Not too odd except he had never shot a gun before.  The 1st few shots from him scared me. he was not ready for the power of the 45!

I used my S&W M&P .40.  Not really unusual but the guy in the next lane complained to the instructor that the concussion was throwing his aim off.

A guy was telling me at the gunrage some time back of a person in his class who used a Stevens tip up .22 single shot.  48 rounds to qualify and you could cover his group with a 50 cent piece.  

I bet the rest of the class got bored waiting on him to finish.  :rant:  :rofl:

I did it with my makarov, maybe a little more common back then but still an oddball. 

 

I do not remember too many of the other guns -- the only thing that stood out was one guy had a target .22 of some sort, and his final target had about a 1.5 inch group cut out of the x ring.

There was a fella with a long-barrelled stainless Mark II .22 in my class as well. A young mild mannered East Indian ancestry physician, who shot a "one ragged hole" target. I bet he "ruined the curve" in his school classes as well, but using a target pistol is on the verge of "cheating". :)

A friend of mine used a .41 magnum. You don't see many of those anymore.
