Would I buy from a dealer at a show? Probably - if he had something I've been looking for and at the right price. To date, I haven't, but I can see the benefit to many buyers of having several retailers in one place where you can do some comparison shopping.
BUT - as a former FFL, I think...
YES - I bought them a few years ago and they are terrific! I was maxed out in my long gun safe (I had to buy a 2nd safe for handuns) and bought these. I literally gutted the interior, added a shelf in the area the shorter rifles (Ar's, 22's and levers) would fit, and was able to add about ten...
Had to do this with one of my safes. Actually started with a smaller bit for easier penetration, then worked up through a couple more sizes until I could fit a power cord through. They aren't as tough as you think...
I picked up a used S&W 629 out of an estate and, while the gun functions flawlessly - the finish looks like it was bead blasted or something. Short of returning it to S&W, has anyone tried restoring a stainless finish? Blast with a milder material? Scotch brite's? The gun wil be a shooter but...
I'm a retired police officer and, as will everyone on the forum, don't recommend shooting anything without hearing protection - on the range. Trust me - I'm old enough that we did our training at the academy without hearing protection, and we're all suffering for it now.
That said - you are...
I'm curious about the 228 you found. I've got the 225, and my son's now have my 226, and 229's, and I've been on the hunt for a 228 for a while now, as they were discontinued before I could buy one. A couple years ago they brought them back briefly with the rail, but I won't buy a gun with a...
Another former big city cop here and another opinion you probably won't like, but really? You think the hundreds of officers out there looking for a terrorist who has already killed civilians, including a child and a cop, are going to stop and worry about your marijuana? I know - there's...
That's easy - taking my sons and grandsons out for an afternoon of general plinking. I've got the ten year old boy very comfortable with the 45 acp and 45 Colt. Not afraid of anything and a better shot than many of us. Nice to be young, calm and with GOOD EYES. The 14 year old is holding 3/4...
Just whatever the load of the firearm is that I'm carrying.
I'm retired LE and have carried for over 40 years, and most of that was during a time I HAD to respond to a situation if it presented itself.
I'm always curious where some of you live that you feel the need to carry almost a...
I own both, but have about five variations of the 10/22 in my safe. If you can only have one STYLE go with the 10/22. Within that group there are so many to choose from and so much you can do to customize it yourself.
One variation that is overlooked by many is the Compact - about 1"...
I picked up a used Nighthawk T3 (1911) and when I took it to the range, the slide would lock back while shooting. It happened with every shooter and several different magazines.
I searched these threads but couldn't find the problem talked about before, but if I missed it, my apologies...
Yes - as long as you are responsible and match the bullet to the game, the terrain, and your ability. When my son was stationed in West Texas he used my 30/06 or .270 due to larger game and longer, more open shots. Now he's stationed in SC where the deer are smaller and the distances shorter...
Like most things in the gun gun world (and everything else in life I guess) it comes down to personal preference. I like the 4-5/8. That's my choice, but I also own the 5-1/2 and 6-1/2" versions (though I never shoot the longer version). Any of the barrel lengths will shoot more accurrately...
I'm curious how many different conversations are going on here...
What's your purpose for carrying? Are you military or a private contractor on the front line and apt to get into a firefight? Are you LE who is required to engage a threat? Are you a businessman carrying due to a tangible...
Now you understand why Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and the rest of the lot all stay in business. Different people like different looks, accessories and options. It doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong, it just means we each have our own preferences and must be comfortable in our own...
I ran across a gentleman who was selling his "life" and moving to FL after a bad bought with cancer. As a younger man, he had completed the gunsmithing course at the Colorado School of Trades, but found he couldn't make a living, and opened a jewelry business.
At some point in his life he...
