I have an 1866 in blued and case colored configuration chambered for .357 magnum. 24" octagon barrel, shoots really straight out to about 150 yards. It does not like the high energy and high speed modern .357 loads though. Does much better with cowboy loads and any .38 specials you might want...

Maybe. But it don't think so... The garden spiders do not grow anywhere near the size of the human hand. As inferred in my earlier post, I believe their are several spiders that are referred to as 'banana' spiders which originate in South American. I'd be happy to never meet any of...

Here's a picture of one of our canines (Sarge) helping me improve my groups. :D gg

Precisely!! brockgl- Since you're new to this hunting thing, use your time afield now to practice stalking and cleanly killing your prey after properly identifying it and studying its habits. Take pictures, keep a notebook... you know, in general it is best to be over-the-top! :rolleyes...

Aaahhhhhhhhhh. Annapolis. I remember it well. A quaint fishing village on the banks of the Severn River. A suburb of the United States Naval Academy. Welcome from a fellow newb. :rolleyes: gg

Formerly, I would shoot out to about 250 yards under perfect conditions with an open site, rested .308 that I had a lot of practice with and confidence in. Anymore, 100 yards max, for lots of reasons.

My Son! My Son! :what: Ooops! But really - I've been stalked twice by lions, both times about an hour west of here and both times they were large females in the fall of the year. When we lived in Missouri, the DNR regularly denied the existance of ML's in the State. When we called...

Checking in from NW Montana Howdy. Introducing oneself seems the thing to do. 58 year-old, married, gun-loving, political-activist male here. I've been trying to pare down my gun collection to just some old fashioned shooters for hunting and fun. Now I find I miss the automatics...

You got an entire outHOUSE?:eek: All we got around here is an out. And pine needles. We're talkin' REAL simplicity here, Carl. Real simplicity. This hyere is Montana.:scrutiny:

Agreed! Longer form might say: "Police investigate crime. Armed citizens make finding the perps much easier." :evil: gg

You know, Carl - you bring up some very good points. Being on the cusp of 60 (with the last 14 years borrowed after the first heart attack), I see things a bit differently than I did in the first 40 or so years. Not limited to knives 'n' guns. Never owned a cell-phone, never will. Have a...

Love them KABARs The pix in this thread are inspiring me to spend money (that I probably shouldn't but that's never stopped me in the past). My poor wife. Now I'll be shopping around for one of those Marine Corps - lookin' Kabars. Thanks! (I guess). Meanwhile, as to hso's comment...

While I absolutely agree, Woody... I guess I have to ask: Are you planning on starting a new government? Our currently elected band of elitists are not very darned likely to be making the changes you mentioned anytime soon. :rolleyes: gg

Ditto that^^^! Mine is probably my favorite gun (right out of the box) of all time. Other than where the bluing is worn on the slide, it looks as good as the day I bought it. (My sons-in-law are planning to arm wrestle for it one day :D)

Think Hawaiian!:D Worked pretty well for me with a Taurus Ultra-lite .38 spcl and a Fobus Tactical paddle holster. The local LEO friends told me they could not spot it. These days I'm pocketing an NAA .22 mag mini just about everywhere.

Good tip - shoulda thought of that. The action was really sticky and jammed three times with the first box of 50 rounds (which were the Hornady .30-.30 premium rubber-tipped aerodynamic rounds designed for loading into tubular magazines without chain-firing). There was a considerable area...

A Damascus Bladed Bowie from Bear Cutlery. Actually, mine has a smooth white-bone handle and I love carrying it while hunting. Maybe a Grizzly wouldn't laugh itself to death if I were reduced to brandishing it...

I believe the Marlin 336W is only available from Wal-Mart. You won't find a cheaper 336 anywhere. But when compared to other 336's, it is definitely different, and of inferior quality. I'm not saying it is a "second" per se; it seems much more likely that it is a lower grade of firearm at a...

We've seen some vendors at gunshows (in Montana) that beat everyone else's prices considerably, including Wal-Mart and the larger specialty stores. This seems to be more so since shipping prices are rapidly climbing. BTW - These prices only apply to the CASE, not the brick...

The NAA mini's tend to be a good choice for Personal Defense concealed carry for two main reasons: #1 - We take them everywhere ~and~ #2 - Most personal defense shots take place at under 15 feet. At that distance, a .22 magnum in any configuration will penetrate skull bone, chest bone - pretty...
