    Mossberg MVP Patrol Range Report (Pic Heavy)

    My New MVP Patrol I picked up a MVP Patrol with flash hider last week. Found one at a great price, just under $500. I wanted a economical scout type rifle and this fit the bill nicely. Haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, but cleaned/oiled it up, and have been researching optics. I'll...

    Smith 29-2 price check

    Buy it! NIB condition 29's are hard to if not impossible to find for a price like that. If you don't want it give me the store name, address, phone # and I'll be in the car in 5 mins headed that way with $ :)

    Ruger Super Blackhawk Talo .44 mag

    Anyone have one of these? It's stainless with a 3.75" barrel and unfluted cylinder. Looks amazing. I'm considering buying one, just not real familiar with the Talo. Are Talo's worth the bump in price? ($575-$600) It's calling my name incessantly...i am weakening. Any thoughts or words...

    Best gun safe around 600 dollars?

    There's lots of good information in this thread and others on this site to use to your advantage. I personally would have liked to buy a 10 gauge or thicker safe, but couldn't find one in my price range or weight limits. My goal was to find one large enough to grow with, and to not break the...

    Best gun safe around 600 dollars?

    If you're still looking and have a Tractor Supply nearby, check out their Memorial Day add. They have a nice Winchester RSC on sale which knocks it into your price range. They also have some Cannon RSC's on sale too, but I prefered the Winchester after looking at them. The size is more than...

    I bought a new Ruger LC9

    Kokapelli you're right, the PM9 & CM9 are much smaller guns than the LC9 (but not as attractive IMHO). But since the CM9's aren't available yet I'll have to hold off. I checked some of the bigger online retailers and the PM9's are going from $619 and up. If I'm gonna spend that kind of $$...

    I bought a new Ruger LC9

    The cheapest I recall seeing the PM9's is $500. I had a G27 I used to wear in a pancake holster and it wasn't the most comfortable after 4+ hrs so I imagine wearing it in an IWB would be worse. I loved the gun and would buy another, but they are selling for around $550. If I could find one...

    I bought a new Ruger LC9

    Thanx for re-assuring me that I'm not crazy :) I know there are probably better choices for easy CCW, but I want to stick to 9mm at a minimum and under $400. That limits the field for sure, so the LC9 quickly rose to the top of my list. Being it's a new model I'm a little hesitant to jump...

    I bought a new Ruger LC9

    I'm about to buy an LC9. $379 + FFL transfer from a bordering state's shop which seems pretty reasonable. This will be my first Ruger handgun. I currenlty own a S&W 386, Glock 22, Sig 229R. I'm looking for something to concealled carry in shorts and T-shirts and this seems like a good...

    Please help me select my first safe (and by safe I mean RSC)!

    The 560-lb Rhino 56 safe is 16 cu-ft (external dimensions) and 10.5 cu-ft (internal dimensions) & is listed as a 20 gun safe. It is 50 min fire rated and has 8 hardened steel 1" diam bolts on 2-sides of the 1/4" thick steel plate door. It can be had in 4 paint colors/hardware combos. The...

    Please help me select my first safe (and by safe I mean RSC)!

    I called Rhino Metals the other day and asked about the weight of the 56 series. The guy said he had a new 2011 spec sheet and in front of him & said it was listed as 560 lbs. That seems like a more reasonable # based on the product description. I'm also looking at the Bighorn 6030 (which is...

    Please help me select my first safe (and by safe I mean RSC)!

    What's the boards opinion on a Rhino Metals 56 Series? They are supposedly "Made In USA". I like the warranty too. I've read only good things about Rhino and Bighorn safes. The product description says the 56 Series is only 450-lb, which is suprisingly light for a 10 gauge body and 2 sheets...

    Concealed Carry

    As I mentioned the 386PD 6-shot w/2.5" barrel would probably fit your needs well. Since you really want a .357 that is light enough to carry, but heavy enough to retain accuracy and shooting comfort you should check them out. With a mix of scandium alloy & stainless materials it's the best of...

    Please help me select my first safe (and by safe I mean RSC)!

    Are Steelwater safes made in America? I had looked at theirs too and like them, but was a little skeptical of the validity of their claims and videos.

    Please help me select my first safe (and by safe I mean RSC)!

    A1ABDJ, It would be the ones sold at www.patriotsafe.com. It seems they were at one time Merlo-Patriot Safes. I searched for reviews and seems everyone that owns one loves it. I haven't been able to find any negative reviews. Only negative thing I found was a long, drawn out post at TGO.com...

    Please help me select my first safe (and by safe I mean RSC)!

    Well unfortunately I've had to put off my safe purchase due to some unexpected contract arbitration between the union and county. Can't spend the money if the county is already taking more out of my pocket. Although this may be a blessing in disguise since I came to a realization that if I'm...

    Please help me select my first safe (and by safe I mean RSC)!

    While that is pretty disheartening, I'm also a realist. If somebody wants in your safe bad enough they will get in regardless of how big and strong it is...given enough time. I'm guessing the only thing that would stop the above from happening is to have a safe with thicker steel (and not...

    Please help me select my first safe (and by safe I mean RSC)!

    Wes did you take the door off to make it easier to move? If so how hard was it to take off? Any special tools needed? I have a feeling that's the only way I'll get it down in my basement. Plus I'd rather be fighting 350-lbs instead of 507-lbs on a set of steps, even with 1-2 people assisting.

    Excellent! Thanks guys I appreciate all the feedback. I'm pretty certain the Winchester is the way to go for me and my budget. I've been doing so much research on this purchase I feel like I could build my own. The TS-22-11 model appears to be built specifically for Tractor Supply based on...

    Please help me select my first safe (and by safe I mean RSC)!

    I'm sure the fire ratings are biased since no safe is tested in a 1200-1400 F fire for the entire length of the test. It's more likely a gradual progression from 0 - peak temp. I think any rated safe would survive 30 mins in a typical house fire with no FRS delays. Unless of course the...
