    1911 on a $600 budget

    RIA. Buy one, use your savings on ammo and ignore the crowd who think it is still 1980 and that the prancing power gets you anything more than ripped off.

    What kind of sights do you like on your revolvers?

    A Model 10's fixed sights remain the best for me

    What handgun points more naturally for you

    S&W Model 10 with a 4" pencil barrel. Nothing points better for me.

    Mcgar mags any good?

    I have 4 for my RIA 1911. 1 factory, 3 purchased afterwards. All four 8 rounders have worked flawlessly for me through a couple of thousand rounds now of factory and handloads.

    Things of beauty

    Revolver - 4" S&W Model 10, pencil barrel. Auto - Jericho 941 Pocket Pistol - either the Colt m1903 or the Baby Browning.

    Oddball guns you liked and wish you had kept . . .

    Mauser HSc. Exquisite .32 ACP pocket pistol. It went to a good home but I still miss it and want another one.

    "What Gun Were You The Most Disappointed With?" Redux

    Mauser C96. I paid for a refurb: relined the barrel & refinished it. I still couldn't hit the side of a barn from the inside. Pity, it was a magnificently made firearm. Thankfully I got what I had in it out of it.

    What to do in .357/.38spl ? Which one in my future?

    I voted S&W. I just don't like the lines of Ruger's revolvers (New Vaq Bisley is the exception to the rule). For what it's worth, I want a Model 13 as my idea of a lighter magnum to complement my DAO Model 10.

    RIA 1911 VS Ruger P97

    I've owned both, still have the RIA. I'd say "both". The only time I had a malfunction with either have been with my out of spec reloads.

    32acp suddenly intrigues me

    Mauser HSc. Finest of the bunch :D

    Mauser HSc in 7.65

    Just as FYI Bob's Gun Parts http://www.gun-parts.com has HSc parts and is where I got a replacement firing pin for mine.

    Mauser HSc in 7.65

    Well, I'd take it and restore it but I'm weird that way about that model. Clean it up, have the barrel checked by a good gunsmith and if it's safe to shoot, I'd go for it. I'd probably even pay Turnbull to do the blue _right_. If they work for you, it's still one of the finest .32's ever made.

    German Hsc has trouble feeding first rd., or closing slide.

    Do you have a new recoil spring in it? If not do that first. If you do, then my suggestion is to get a different magazine. They can have bad lips that you will never get quite right. Key thing - buy a WWII mag. The third party ones out there (cough*Triple K*cough) are made for the post war...

    Remingtons Offical response.

    Shrug. A company that wasn't worth much and is now owned by a profit over everything holding company? Thanks but my 700 will stay in my safe unused until I can afford a Timney for it.

    Vaquero or Blackhawk?

    Of those two, Vaquero. I had a Blackhawk in .45 but it just didn't look or feel quite right. Even the old Vaquero which was the same size as a Blackhawk still feels better than that SAA glock of steel.

    Canik T-120 vs Jericho/Baby Eagle?

    Anyone with experience with both? I'm thinking evil thoughts about my likely tax return next month and getting my Spike Speigel vibe on :evil:

    Would a .45 made a difference?

    You want an excuse to do what was done several times recently in the news. Don't. Even IF (and I doubt that highly) the shootings were justified, your thread only makes any sense on Stormfront. Go there. This thread is the Anti-High Road.

    Remington Old vs New

    I picked up a 1988 made ADL in .30-06 at a pawn shop for $200. That remains, to my mind, the only way of getting a decent Remington at an appropriate price.

    30 Carbine versus 300 Blackout.

    I own an Arisaka Type 99. There is 1 (ONE) factory load that I am aware of. That is "limited" ammo. My M1 Carbine? I have an abundance of joy when it comes to factory ammo. No, there isn't a lot of bullet variety. But between the 110 FMJ, JSP, LRN & 85 gr JHP that I have access to I'm really...
