Any of the AR/M-4 clones I've owned. They were my first purchase when I got back into shooting after a hiatus. Everyone had such a raging (bleep) for them I figured they had to be THE THING. Pip-sqeek round, boring gun with no soul, modular Fisher-Price feel and construction; I could go on...

Well, as someone who has dabbled a bit in U.S. C&R type weapons, I'd say 1) establish your max price, 2) and 3) find the best barrel and highest serial number that price will allow. This is especially true with 1917's because of their age and difficulty in refurbishing. I wouldn't worry about...

Not enough!

Of course its personal preference, but I think not; the Python has fragile lock work and uncomfortable, un-ergonomic grips. The Best? Smith 'Registered' Magnum. Again, all personal preference. The Smith is the best because it is the best tool, and that is what a weapon is; is tool. The...

I have both and like them both a great deal. I have to admit, the LCR is VERY impressive and a great value. It is a smidge larger than the J-frame; enough so that it usually needs its own holsters, which can be a limitation. But the trigger is very sweet; the Smith will smooth out, but I...

ACTUALLY... the .30-06 is far superior because the M-1 Garand was chambered for it. If the .308 was a superior round, the Garand would have been chambered for it, instead! So THAT settles it! :neener: ;)

longdayjake: there are plenty of garands out there, in all conditions and price ranges. I aquire for condition, rather than historical value, because I shoot, not collect, so I like the Springfield commercial ones, the accurized and NM ones, etc. Its all Garand! FMJMIKE: you are really...

OK, here's the dilema: Do I pick up another Garand (which will make #3), or do I spread out and get an M1A Loaded, with all the neccesary new stuff, like mags, different ammo, dies, etc. I don't own both now (and have never had an M1A), but I figure those of you that do could give me some...

Well, I voted for the P3AT, but the ULTIAMTE pocket gun is a Smith Airweight snubbie.

"I probably spent a couple more bucks on it than I would have at the show" Not if your shows are like the ones here. I can always find guns themselves no more expensive, and often cheaper from dealers, and accessories are always cheaper online, but at the show I can fondle them :p . Surplus...

Check out Bear Mountain Sports in Mesa, AZ. A few weeks ago, they hod one. I almost bought it:D but went for a 5.5" Redhawk in.44.

Plus, if you appreciate GOOD ammo and what it can do for you (accuracy, velocity and consistancy DO matter in shotshells as much as metallic), you'll shy away from those loss-leaders and Wally-World specials. Last time I checked, they frequently used reclaimed shot, and this is even more...

A "Posted Business" means (in Arizona-eese) that it is posted "No Firearms". But, as explained to me by the ex-DPS patrolman who taught my CC class, what that really means is if they DO see your weapon, they must first ask you to leave. If you refuse to leave, then there is an issue (on your...

I have 2 myself, both w/ spurless hammers. Just 'cause you probably will never see another lock-less, fanged-hammer Smith again. And so very light in the pocket. Prefer the SP101 for high-volume work, and really stout loads. I heard it was a Japanese order that didn't get filled. You...
