"A mossberg 500 does not cost much more than an 88 and is a better gun." :rolleyes: How is it better? Why is it better? Because some self-appointed gun guru said so? With all due respect, I call BS on that statement! :D A Maverick is just a Mossberg with the safety on the trigger guard...

How about a photographer's monopod? I'm unsure if this is strong enough to use as a hiking staff, but I suspect it will serve. You want something lightweight, for balance & to use as a "third leg", right? Well, with some of the prices above I thought I should mention this. It's a photographer's...

I think a good Ruger should be detail cleaned every 34 years or so, whether it needs it or not! :D Mine is a MK II, hasn't had the usage yours has, but has never jammed with a Ruger magazine in it. Amazing pistols, aren't they? ;)

Here's a link to one maker, dunno about the P11 though: http://www.oneraggedhole.com/ I've thought about getting some of theirs for my Ruger Single Six & MK II. Also search for "XS Ghost Ring", they used to be AO(Ashley Outdoors). Good luck. This tears it, I *gotta* get a decent peep...

I've committed to buy a Winchester 9422 XTR .22 LR next week, it has a repaired boo-boo on the toe of the stock but I can live with it. Though my 52 yr old eyes could definitely use a scope, it seems a shame to put a scope on a nice lever action .22. The bridge mount receiver sights would work...

It's not a snubbie, but I recently got a S&W Model 63 Stainless Kit Gun in very nice condition. I shouldn't have bought it, but hey, I did need something to shoot dirt cheap .22 ammo that would also be good DA trigger practice for a DAO auto. The fact that I've wanted a S&W 63 for over 25 years...

You might look at the Browning Buckmarks. Several different finishes, barrel lengths, etc. Most peope who own them seem to like 'em a lot.

Thanks, MagSnubby. CDNN has several other grips to fit square-butt J-frames, I may try a few more, along with a $10 nylon holster. Realy looking forward to getting it, even at my age I feel like a kid before Christmas, can't wait until Monday! :D

I've just committed to buy a S&W Model 63 Kit Gun with 4" bbl, old enough to have a pinned barrel. It'll be my first ever Smith & Wesson, *and* my first DA revolver. I pick it up this coming Monday at "High Noon"! It's never too late, even at age 50+! Does anyone know of a holster that's...

Congrats on your nice "new" revolvers! On nickel plated guns, be very careful with, or avoid, the use of Hoppe's #9 solvent, or any other product with ammonia in it. It was explained to me like this: it's the ammonia that's harmful, even in low concentrations. It can cause nickel plating to...

You can avoid a great deal of trouble by simply keeping a duplicate car key in your billfold. Do I follow my own advice in this matter? Yes. Have I always done this? No. When & Why did I start doing this? Don't ask! :D Spare key in your billfold(or purse, for the ladies). Notice how many of...

"I've got a question, though: My Kel-Tec P-32 has some nooks and crannies in the slide that are too tiny to be reached with a Q-Tip. Does anybody know of some applicator capable of swabbing out such miniscule recesses?" I used to keep some pipe cleaners on hand for those little places. Cheap...

Recently: Kel-Tec P11, with *8* magazines, plus nylon holster, plus roll-along gym bag, plus snap caps, plus ~120 rounds 9mm WWB FMJ, plus ~40 rounds Fed HS HP's, plus small hard-shell padded case; $200 About 11 yrs ago: Maverick 88 Mariner 12 ga pump, silver & black synthetic, long magazine...

I've never understood all this Glock-hatred & Glock-worship that goes on. :confused: Lots of people can't enjoy what they have unless they talk down what the other guy has, maybe that's part of it. If you're interested in a Glock, I'll just say you could do one heckuva a lot worse. I would...

Get some 0000 steel wool and any good light gun oil, or even 3-in-1 oil. Rub some oil into the rust(saturate it well) & let it sit & soak a few minutes to over night, depends on how patient you are. :D Then put several drops more oil onto your pad of 0000 steel wool, & begin rubbing gently. Be...

What about a Kel-Tec P 11? I bought a lightly used one today, included holster, 8 10 round magazines(yup, 8 of 'em! :D ), over 100 rounds of WWB FMJ ammo, 50 rounds of JHP ammo, perfectly sized small hardshell case, nylon belt holster, and more, for $200. I can sell 4 or 5 of those mags & make...

Polygonal *chamber*? :what: I can only say that my ~1993-94 vintage Glock 22 has a polygonal *bore*. It has a plain ole round chamber. ;)

The Kel-Tec P11 doesn't really seem to fit with the rest of the list. If a Glock 19 is "medium", then I'd say a P11 seems definitely "small". JMO

Natchez now has .40 S&W Remington 155 gr JHP for $10/50. Link: http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=RTR40SW1P&CFID=249535&CFTOKEN=74178064

HB 823 may be an improvement over the old statute, but I'm kinda disappointed in it. Sounds like it leaves a lot of room for interpretation. I've long considered getting the CCL just so I could have a weapon in the car without any hassles, then thought the new bill would take care of that. Looks...
