I can buy Federal, Winchester, CCI, Sellier&Bellot, RWS, Geco, MagTech and Fiocchi. Also many types are available from subsonic to normal and high velocity, including hyper velocity CCI Stinger and Velociter. I can't complain about offer of .22lr here in Slovenia. Just today I was at the range and shot about 300 rounds. I shot some IDPA-like stages, then did some target shooting at cca 25 meters and finally killed some little cans several times. What a pleasure. I love this gun.

Well could be better but it was much worse when we were a part of comunist Yugoslavia. A very few civilians had gun permits, the largest possible caliber for non-military purpose handguns was 7,65mm (.32 auto) and watch this: a 1-year quota for buying ammunition was 25 rounds. YES. Read my lips: t-w-e-n-t-y-f-i-v-e rounds. Just enough to do some despert stupidity, nothing more. So now when I can buy as much as I want (only as an owner of gun permit) I can't complain much. Anyway I can buy ammo only in person, nothing by mail and all purchase is registered.(who, caliber, type, quantity).

Anyway we have much more free gun laws than California as I could read on forums and internet. For example: a speedloader magazine is NOT a part of firearms, anyone can buy it. Here is no limitation of rounds that magazine can hold. For instance, I have 17, 19 and 33-round magazines for my Glock. Doesn't matter.

Howdy and Welcome!

What all firearms do you have, Robert? What's the average cost of them over there?

And did you mean you only can own and shoot 25 rounds in an entire year back in the Tito days??

Yep, those were the days of self-fearing socialist Yugoslavia although we were in much better position than other eastern socialist countries. We were independent of Russians and other socialist block and in some way opened to the western side of Europe...but let's just leave outside these political themes. It's a forum for gun lovers and I'm one of them. And YES, although I had a gun permit, I could buy only 25 rounds a year...and now I send them approx. 250 through the barrel every weekend. Things changed a lot last 10 years. I have SIG-SAUER Mosquito II Sport (the long one), Glock 17 and 26, and 2 rifles in .22LR: Remington Fieldmaster pump action and Ceska Zbrojovka ZKM 452 lux with bolt action. Next month I'm planing to buy pump shotgun in 12 gauge, probably it will be Hatsan mod. Escort Aim Guard:

It's inexpensive, but it works. 2 of my friends from the range got it and I have already shot with.
The firearm prices here are approx. 50% - 100% higher than in USA. For instance, Sig Mosquito costed 600$, .22LR Remington Fieldmaster 690$ and for Glock 17 I paid approx. 900$. I heard that Glocks are now much cheaper, maybe would be 750$ today. I'm planing to buy also a 9mm gun with 6 inch barrel for precise shooting at 25m, but it will be next year, I think. I haven't decide yet what brand that will be.

Welcome Robert91922 to the Forum. Thank you for posting, it was very interesting reading. It is good to have a perspective on firearms from other places not just here in the U.S. Best wishes from California.

Welcome to the forum,very informative,got a few friends in Germany and I knew of some of the restrictions they have to go thru from their visit here.Their prices are higher than yours.
We have it good and that makes me very proud.

Welcome from Arkansas and enjoy the forum.

Welcome Robert91922. I agree with the other comments, it's great to hear of gun ownership in countries other than the US. I'm glad things have improved for you over the last several years.
