    Investment firearms?

    The upcoming generations don’t have the appreciation of older firearms that we do. They are more into capacity and accessories with their guns. Most of them look upon metal and wood guns as passé relics. As has been said here, shoot and enjoy the old timers. You “may” make some money when it it...

    Too old and weak to rack the slide

    My wife carried a j frame 38 for 50 years but the recoil became too painful.She went through Ruger, Kahr 9mms and 380s but slide racking was problematic. She liked the feel of my P365. We went to the local gun store and she tried the P365 380 acp. She racked the slide with ease and said I’ll...

    Winchester 1895 Rifles in 30-06 - What should I know?

    Back when I was 14, that was 67 years ago, I was with my Dad and another guy on my first elk hunt. The guy that was with us had a 1895 30-06. That was one classy rifle. One night while in camp two guys came through and stopped to visit. They were from California and one noticed the 95. He asked...

    Looking for a new CCW piece for the wife. Open to suggestions!

    My wife and I finally got to the range yesterday to try out her new Sig P365 380. She could rack the slide and manipulate the controls easily. She also consistently shot groups that were very impressive. She is very pleased with the new gun and she carrying it now.

    “New” Trapdoor Springfield

    Before the turn of the last century my Granddad ordered a Trapdoor rifle from Bannermans before he and his wife homesteaded in Wyoming. He wanted it in case there were Indians or outlaws still roaming around. He got the rifle and a box of shells for $7.50. When they got to Wyoming and got all...

    Looking for a new CCW piece for the wife. Open to suggestions!

    I bought the wife an Sig P365 380 yesterday. She liked the feel of my P365 9mm, but can’t rack the slide. It is a birthday and anniversary present coming at the end of the month. I introduced her to the Sig 380 at the LGS. She tried the 380 and said I”ll take it. She likes the ease of racking...

    How about a cartridge close to .44 magnum?

    I was one of the instigators that convinced Dan Wesson to develop a 1911 in 10mm back in 2000. The result was the Razorback. I got one with my badge number for a serial number. I liked it so well I talked then owner Bob Serva into building me one in CCO configuration. I carried one or the...

    Is it necessary or smart to stop to give aid In the age of cell phones providing instant communications

    It’s sad that we have come to this stage. Fifty years ago, on Wyoming’s highways I never hesitated to stop and see if I could help. At the same time as a Highway Patrolman, I could be in a rather uncomfortable traffic stop, and more than once an old rancher would go by in his pickup and make a...

    How do you plan to liquidate your collection?

    I sold most of mine at gun shows over the last few years. I’m down to a couple for son and grandson, and a couple for self defense. I have to say they were a darned good investment.

    Poll: Why do you own a firearm?

    I got my first gun when I was 12. I grew up with guns, carried as LEO, hunted for years. Retired now and still have a few for self defense that will go to son and grandson. I guess I just don’t know any better.

    Is This A Question People Ask?

    I was asked once about 3 decades ago. I responded, “ Does your wife wear boxers or briefs?” End of the conversation.
