    My new Marlin 600

    Thanks for the info on the Marlin 600. I picked one up a few years back at a pawn shop in a package deal with a Savage 110 30-06. I hadn't heard of a Model 600 only the Model 60, but I couldn't tell the difference so I told them to wrap them up, got both for $200 out the door. The 600 had a...

    What was your first gun?

    First handgun was a S&W Model 681. Very good gun. Still have it. First pistol was a CZ40B, that was regretfully traded.

    [Q] 1911 Kit for an average guy (fusionfirearms)

    I also agree with Linkinlog. I have a RIA and have bought some Fusion parts off of ebay. So far I have only swapped the slide stop and the barrel bushing. The bushing needed a little fitting, but it is more accurate now. I also have a trigger group from Fusion that I haven't got around to...

    Affordable, reliable pistol.

    The Bersa's are a good buy. They are a good quality gun at a reasonable price. They are a decent size for CC and mine has been totally reliable. The factory mags are kind of pricey though.

    A good 357mag

    I don't think anyone has mentioned the S&W Model 681. It is the fixed sight version of the 686. I have a 4" that was my first revolver and it is still the gun that sees the most range time. There is also a blued version, the Model 581. Great guns.

    Need help. Marlin 600.

    I saw a Marlin 600 today. It was a semi-auto 22lr. It had a plain stock, micro-groove barrel, basic sights and a daisy scope. I think they wanted $70. Does anyone know the difference between the Marlin 600 vs the Marlin 60? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks G

    How often do you carry?

    I carry about 75% of the time. I need to get a good pocket gun, so I can raise the average. G

    What was your first gun?

    First gun I shot was with the Boys Scouts. It was a .22 bolt. First gun I purchased was a S&W 681, .357 magnum. I still take this with me to the range more than any other gun. Lots of fun! G

    Who is ready for the Springfield XD .45 ACP??

    Nice! Just got back from the local dealer and they had one in stock! Very nice pistol. The grip size was very manageable, and I have small-to-medium size hands. It is hard to believe that this thing hold 13 in the magazine! This should be a hot seller! They were asking $529 and it...

    Taurus 94 .22 opinions

    I had a 4" model 94. It was blued with the stock wood grips on it. It pointed great, was very accurate...but had one of the hardest d/a trigger pulls. Single action was great, but it would wear me out to shoot 100 rds d/a.
