    What is the last gun that you bought?

    I picked up an older Mossberg 500A for a song recently. Wasn't the model I wanted, but was cheap enough I can turn it for a profit later or keep it for some range fun.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Nothing fancy, but I bought a nice older 12ga Mossberg 500A blued in hardwood with a 28" ribbed barrel for $225. Simple and in good shape, not sure if I'll much about with it yet or not, but I do have a single-shot H&R which has that classic style, but no tactical 12ga yet, so I may do a build...

    What's a tough, utilitarian, and durable .357 double action revolver?

    I love my Security Six. It has adjustable sights, though, but I expect it will outlast me, and maybe my children too. I picked mine up for $300 earlier this year, private party sale. I have been thinking of swapping the Pachmayr's for Hogues, and installing a fiber optic front, but still need to...

    what's the worst gun you've ever owned?

    Funny, I have four Rugers, and only my SR9c had issues, but that was in the breaking-in period. My Security Six is a tank and will probably outlast my children. My Mini-14 has not failed once. My 22/45 only failed a couple times on the first few magazines during the break-in period. Now they...

    What guns are you drooling over right now?

    Kel-Tec KSG I've been getting interested in the KSG more recently, wondering the same about it's release. I doubt the ATF is happy about it's existence already. I can't wait to get a change to shoot one, probably the only Kel-Tec I am remotely interested in...

    What's the oldest gun you own ?

    It's not that old, but the oldest in my collection; a 4" SS Ruger Security Six from 1977. I bought it from the son of the original owner. When the father passed, the son liquidated his collection. I bought it and a 6" Taurus 66 for $500 together. The Taurus was post-1988. This one isn't...

    What guns are you drooling over right now?

    I'm drooling over my grandfather's Remington 512. My grandmother was ready to send it my way until another family member threw a fit over it. It's funny how people suddenly become gun folks after never showing interest... I want a Taurus Thunderbolt in .357, but can't seem to find one to...

    Ruger Security Six .357 Holster Recommendations

    Got my Triple K Woodsman for my Ruger Security Six this week. It fits great, nice and secure. It has an open muzzle, so it also fits my 6" Taurus 66 (6-shot) nicely. It also fits my 2" Taurus 617 (7-shot).

    Ruger Security Six .357 Holster Recommendations

    I found the suede lined Triple K Woodsman model for a bit over $50. It has two mounting options for strong side or cross draw. Too bad they don't offer any options on this model, but the price is right. http://www.cowboyneeds.com/570.html

    What's the NEXT gun you're gonna buy?

    A Ruger Security Six is coming to me this week, so I'll probably be looking at a bolt .223 or a semi-auto 12.

    Taurus model 66 OWNERS

    I bought my wife a stainless 617 last year and wanted a 7-shot 66 to match. I got a great deal on an older blued 6" 6-shot 66 in great condition; $200! I'd still like a 7-shot 66, but will be more than happy with what I have for now. I just love wheelguns. :D

    Security six value?

    Does anyone either have a link or just know the differences between the Security/Speed/Service Sixes? I'm getting a 4" stainless Security Six this week, but don't know that much about them yet. I'm excited to finally be getting a Ruger wheelgun!

    Ruger Security Six SS 4''

    I'm picking up a SS 4" Security Six in great condition this week. Is $300 a good deal? :evil: I handled it once already, can't wait! It also has Pachmayr grips. An older gentleman had it in his collection until he recently passed. My next question is tough. I hate having too many holsters...

    First rifle: Ruger GSR

    I shot my friend's Scout and really liked it and was impressed by it's accuracy. .308 is a bit more than I enjoy for extended periods, I'll stick with .223 for that.

    Crossbreed Holsters

    I picked up a Kholster on sale over the holidays for $25 and don't regret it a bit. It's probably not quite the same as the Crossbreed, but I find it quite comfortable with both 10 and 17 round magazines in my SR9c, though the larger prints a bit. With the 10 round, not even friends who know I...

    Long Slide High Capacity 9mm Options

    STI is just down the road in the next town, so I've looked at a few of their offerings. Unfortunately, the Trojan or Spartan are about all I can afford. The Eagle 5" and 6" look beautiful, but $2k is just too rich for my blood. The Beretta 92 has my attention, anyone know offhand about...

    Long Slide High Capacity 9mm Options

    I love my little Ruger, but have been thinking about getting a full-sized double-stack semi-auto for a while. I have a Ruger SR9c, but would rather have a longer slide than the full-sized SR9. Nothing against it, but 3.5" versus 4.1" doesn't gain much in what I would think would affect accuracy...

    Ruger SR9C

    I bought mine back in early 2010 when it first came out, love it. The finish is not as durable, scratches showing up a bit. I didn't buy it to keep it pretty, I bought it as an EDC firearm and I feel it's perfect for that task. If I want a safe queen, I'll get something different. I feel it's...

    My wife wants to learn to shoot!

    My problem isn't that my wife doesn't want to go shooting, it's that I can't afford what she wants to shoo. During her time in the military, she really loved the biggest AR's, which are way out of my budget, the ammo too!

    Who has the cheapest rifle ammo?

    Awesome, I wonder if one can acquire used water too? :rolleyes: I kid, but you mean used brass to save a buck? I would imagine you could roll your own and save money if you knew what you were doing.
