    Frightened & Defenseless

    Dog and a Google Nest system for $500. Nothing beats a dog as a deterrent, plenty to rescue.

    My Revolver List...do you have one?

    I think if I ever get to see one in cold hard steel I might succumb to a Freedom Arms 83 or 97. I did pick up a NAA 22 mag recently. Everything else I lust after is pre-WWII. “they don’t make them like they used to” sigh

    Picked up another S&W last Saturday.

    I figure it went to M. Robinson in NYC, or maybe over to the Armory. From there, I'll have to do some detective work...after I get the letter months from now. Thanks!

    Picked up another S&W last Saturday.

    Driftwood, thanks for the background history ....I am new to the antique side of collecting and caught the bug from enjoying the knowledge shared here. I paid $425 to a large pawnshop in Portland....Trading Post NW. I don’t think they spent enough time researching and I got a nice deal. I am...

    Picked up another S&W last Saturday.

    Thanks for the info, Driftwood. I received my SN 22969 this morning, and will be sending off for a factory letter. So far thinking production date within the 1866-68 range. It'll be here in a couple of days, and I will have to scout out some vintage ammo (I know, "good luck") if all is in order...

    Picked up another S&W last Saturday.

    I have the bug now, and have a series 1 model 1 1/2 tip up 32RF being shipped. My first p-1900 S&W, it appears (from photos and description) to be in really good shape. If it checks out sound upon arrival, think it’s OK to shoot? I’d buy a few rounds / box on GB. Never owned a gun that I...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Told the store owner my son was looking for a m36, and he pulled his former PD partners 36 from the safe in back.

    First time @ the range in 30 years, I only...

    I get to go 3-5 times a week, consider myself lucky. But ammo is so expensive when you can find it, feeding the .22’s will allow me to continue to feed my need for range time. Here’s the Browning I bought when I turned 21.

    First time @ the range in 30 years, I only...

    ...shot .22LR the entire session. Think it cost me $5 bucks with a decent grin factor. Practiced the basics, doing some bullseye shooting instead of COM self defense drills with scarce large bore ammo. Our 50 acre gun club is across the street, and this way I can go as often as I want. The...

    Are you old enough to remember when firearms were proudly displayed?

    And inexpensive too, we have some Nest devices...but I’ve read of them being hacked (door bells, ‘swatting’ pranks) as well. We’ve got indoor and outdoor cameras, not too worried about them being hacked and they work great.

    Family full of artists always doing interesting things, original art...but I think a kid got that Japanese paper lantern at IKEA

    Are you old enough to remember when firearms were proudly displayed?

    In view from outside your home is surely unwise. I don’t want people seeing in our garage either, or any window at night. But I also live on acreage in the sticks and can’t see my neighbors homes...but you never know who might poke around regardless of where you live. Our German Shepherd ran...
