    Is consolidation to one caliber wise?

    Dunno...I have a foot in each camp...I mean for a while I was trying to get down to 5 calibers. My 12 gauge, .308, 9mm, 22LR...Then I started shooting CAS, so I went with the .45 LC. I saw a .45 ACP revolver in a gun shop, so I bought that, and my RIAs quickly followed. Then my mother-in-law...

    cyclopsshooter...Not a gun snob are you?..lol.. I have three RIAs, two with consecutive numbers and my RIA compact. All three are shooters, but I could have easily left them alone, just for the heck of it. they are good guns for the money...people collect all sorts of things, including...

    Have a gun...

    Generally, most predators (and creatures in general - including man) have a predisposition when a noise is heard to either a) head towards it to investigate it or b) head away from it. Since grizzlies are essentially at the top of the predator food chain, more likely as not, they are going to...

    Revolvers with long barrels?

    In this case, the cool factor was about it. In reality, Wyatt Earp's pistol has been variously described at the OK Corral shooting as a S&W American or a Colt SAA. The "Buntline Special" was a gun allegedly ordered by Edward Zane Carroll Judson (E. Z. C. Judson) aka "Ned Buntline" to be...

    Did you ever wish

    You may want to give these folks a try....They do really good work, and I have had field holsters made for my SSAs...Good gear, fair prices. http://www.simplyrugged.com/about/ I am not affiliated with them, nor a spokesperson, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night either...

    The Ideal Combo Rifle

    While it was not small, I had a Savage 24 in .22LR and 12 gauge, in the early to mid 1980s. it was capable of taking all the game allowable in Indiana at the time, from birds (shot) to slugs for deer, and .22 LR for "squirrels and sich." it was just a nice all-around gun to have. Break open...

    Speaking of Husqvarna's, check this baby out....

    We need to save the whales...We'll need something to eat when beef is outlawed, or gone...Whale is actually oretty tasty, and the native villages in Alaska where it is legal to harvest whales, live on it through the winter. There are no stores to go to... But, I like the harpoon gun...Reminds...

    Budget 1911's

    I probably sound like a broken record on the RIAs, but here it goes: I have 3, 2 GI and 1 compact. I think I am up to close to 4,000 rounds fired through the 3 of them. No FTF, no FTE. I clean them after each range session, and wipe them down on a maintenance schedule. I bought all three...

    GSG-5 mp5 copy

    I have two GSG's. The MP5 clone and the MP5K clone. Both were bought before the lawsuit and design changes. They are fun, and I bought some 25 round ProMag magazines, and the seem to shoot just fine. So far, everything I have fed them (including Remmie bulk) work fine, for the most part. A...

    Anyone have a taurus thunderbolt

    3 years ago, I bought the .45 LC version in blue. It was extremely finicky. I was told by the seller that you had to rack the pump like you would a 12 gauge shotgun, and it would work just fine. No such luck for me. I used every make of .45 LC ammo and just could not get it running. In...

    Galco -- good stuff?

    I have to echo the sentiments in regards to Galco's quality. I have been buying from them ever since Rick operated out of a small strip mall shop/office in Phoenix back in the late 1980s. Rick had always been great about coming out and saying hi, and just talking about carry and products...

    Tired of spending!

    Nope...Love it because I have earned every dollar I spend on my firearms, ammo, reloading, etc. and still provide for my family and save. Every firearm I own has been paid for in cash (USPS Money order or bank checks), or debit card. No going into hock or using credit cards for them. It is a...

    Rock Island Armory 1911

    I have 3 RIAs...2 GI and one compact. Have about 3500 rounds though all three total. No hiccups, no FTF, FTE, or any other issues. pretty good for out of the box non-American made firearms, I would say. Not to mention their customer service is A+.

    Whats the most expensive gun you brought

    In 1991, I bought a NIB .44 magnum blued Desert Eagle. It cost $1250.00 out the door. Unfortunately, I do not have it any longer. I sold it to my younger brother, and he eventually traded it for some other firearms. Still wish I have it...

    Say, CG, You're a killer, right?

    Cryogaijin, That is unusual for no one else on the staff to be an active shooter, even in Los Anchorage... All kidding aside, while it might have been tongue-in-cheek, you may want to say something to the guy, in private, and off the record, if possible. It seems pretty disrespectful of the...
