I had a Browning SA22 back in the 70’s. Beautiful rifle with one exception, It ejects the spent (hot!) cartridge out the bottom. Wearing a jacket or long sleeve shirt in the winter it ejected the case right down my sleeve.
It must have been around 1973 that I walked into a little hardware store not far from my home that had a gun counter. In the case was a excellent condition 10-1/2” Super Blackhawk. The price was $150 if I remember right and I just had to have it. I kept it until three years ago when I sold it...
I have an Aegis Ultra in 9 and it never fails to amaze me how accurate and easy it is to shoot. I have an Ultra two tone in 45 as well and it’s a tack driver and blast to shoot as well.
In all the years And trips to the Smokies I’ve never seen anyone open carry. If I remember correctly it’s only been a few years since it was illegal to possess a firearm in the park.
For me, I’d rather carry bear spray for a couple of reasons. The bears aren’t aggressive unless they smell food...
I’ve lived within 45 minutes of the Smokies for 69 years. I can’t remember an instance where a bear attacked a person that didn’t provoke the bear. Usually someone tries to feed the bear a cookie and the bear swats the person and injured or kills them but this is rare. I remember a teacher...
I sold my Rolex because it never kept good time even after getting it adjusted several times but I never wore it when shooting. I have a watch that was my dads that has a Tag movement and don’t subject it to the punishment of shooting either. When I shoot I wear a beater that I don’t care about.
CCI are fine but so are Federal. My wife and I buy the 550 round Federal pack from Walmart and probably have shot 20 boxes of the in recent months with no issues. I’d guess we’ve had less than a half dozen duds. I have another 14 boxes I think and will pick up more when I see some.
The only...
I was in one of my local gun stores a week ago and they had plenty of ammonia all calibers. I reload so I didn’t pay attention to price but the shelves were full of boxes.
I live close to Buds and Smoky Mountain Guns And Ammo and went to SMGA the same day and they had plenty of 50 round boxes...
I bought my 28 4” for home defense. I’d shot since I was 5 years old and just big enough to pull the trigger with my dads help. At the time I only had black powder guns and had an attempted break-in one night while in bed. I decided at that moment a black powder rifle wasn’t the the best choice...
The 28 is a sweet revolver for sure. I purchased a new one in 77 and hadn’t shot it in 25 years. This week I pulled it out of the safe and started enjoying it again. I’d forgotten what a sweet gun it is. I guess in total I’ve not put 300-400 rounds through it and plan to put a lot more through...
I own two Henry’s and thinking about a third. I have a 22 carbine and Big Boy Brass receiver carbine in 45LC. I’m now looking at picking up a Henry steel 357 in the next few weeks.
My wife also owns a 22 carbine and we’ve owned several other Henry’s and all have functioned flawlessly straight...
I have large hands as well. I own and have owned quite a few 22’s.
If you’re looking for a revolver, although not normally associated with target shooting, a Ruger Single Six or Single Ten would do the trick and new would fall in your price range. I’ve owned a stainless 5-1/2” stainless...
Not sure what the technical name is but I bought a 75 (before the B came out) new about 30 years ago before they were readily available or popular. I bought it because I was shooting IPSC and weaned something in 9 (shooting minor) with high capacity and disliked Glock triggers.
I shot it for a...
I inherited my dads 1982 66-2 2.5” that I don’t think he ever fired. I’ve run a few hundred rounds through it and find it to be a very accurate gun and pleasure to shoot. I took the original grips off and stored them and put a beautiful set of stag grips on it.
This makes me want to take it...
I love the smell too. My dad used it when I was a little kid and the smell takes me back to that time in the 50’s.
As to getting it on your hands, I have but it’s not a good idea. Many of these solvents are absorbed through the skin and go to the liver for detoxification. Actually working with...
My wife and I belong to the FOP outdoor range that’s 10 minutes from our house. It’s $50/year each and the money goes to Toys for Tots. It’s nothing fancy but is safe.
A half hour from the house is the best range I’ve ever seen. Oak Ridge Sportsman’s Association (ORSA). They have several...
I own several 22 revolvers and autos Zander have owned many over the years. Right now I have a 617 Smith that is really fine, a model 34 nickel Smith, new model Ruger Bearcat with adjustable sights, Ruger Single 6 convertible and Smith Victory PC. All are great fun to shoot and all very...
