Have a well-worn 870 Wingmaster 28 gauge. My first pump shotgun that my dad bought me. Started hunting with it again this year, dove and squirrel. Big smiles

Growing up on the farm my father always had plenty of ammo. With two older brothers and my father in me we hunted all the time. So as I grew up, buying in bulk so to speak was what I'd learned. The last panic, I didn't even have to run out and purchase anything. In fact a lot of my friends would...

500 to 600 or there abouts, only in the chamber for the most part. But it's not like, the goo is dripping from the action. The hot chamber melts the lacquer. At 2 to 3 hundred, I've never seen this happen. I say fire away.

2nd on the Lc9s, just came from the range with my ec9s and man does thing shoot well. While I was there, I handled a ruger security 9, same size as Glock 19, but with a safety and 1/2 the price.

I have shot a lot of the same type of ammo you describe. Sometimes, mind you sometimes when the volume shot at one sitting is excessive, there has been a build up of melted goo in the chamber. It is easily cleaned out with hoppes #9 at the end of shooting. Never had an extractor chip or break on...

The OP and me have a lot in common, I shoot inexpensive firearms as well. High quality, low price. All but 1 were bought used. Just picked up a LNIB ec9s for $140 and it has became my new favorite, I get more mileage out of those "inexpensive" guns.

That is what I got my grandmother + a red laser, 25 rd mag.

380 would be fine by me, but 9mm is cheaper to practice with and I don't reload.

Ithaca m37 20g and ruger Mark 2 . 13 year old nephew has been keeping me busy shooting clays, hunting, and plinking.

Ruger sp 101. I've probably had at least 6 of these, snub, 3 inch, DAO, just about any flavor, all in 357. I've taken them apart, buffed, stoned and shimmed them, tried different spring combos. Different grips. They are IMO one of the best looking guns Ruger makes. But I cannot for the life of...

Mark II, 5 1/2 heavy taper barrel, it has been with me a loooong time.

I have a GP 7 shot that doesn't have any ammo problems either. But recently found a sweet deal on a stainless 6 inch Security Six. I prefer it to almost any revolver, it is smooth and accurate.

Update on the lemon. Received it back today, the worksheet stated, replaced crane and pawl. Adjusted ejector fit, extraction and barrel throat, smoothed action and polished trigger guard. Gun runs like it should. To Ruger's credit, took 13 days total, they fixed every issue. Gun is smooth and slick.

No, I didn't. Was in a hurry and yes I've already kicked myself for that.

I've bought and shot many guns over the past 30 years. I rarely buy a new one. When Ruger came out with the GP 7 shot, I decided I'd buy it brand new. Ordered it, picked up at the dealer and ogled it all the way home. First pull of trigger and I knew there was a problem in Rugerville. The...
