    Seriously, what is with the falling prices of firearms

    $99 in 1992, which is when I bought my SKS for that very price, is worth $164.57 in today's money. Inflation matters. When I can buy a Taurus pistol that I know is good with a lifetime warranty and isn't a milsurp for $200 I don't think it's that far off of the deal I got on my SKS. Not far...

    Seriously, what is with the falling prices of firearms

    If it starts to look like things are changing for the worse I may get an AR at the best deal possible while the getting is good. I'm just glad for a slight chance to get something reasonably priced. Of course I could buy a Taurus PT-111 Millennium Pro G2 right now for $200. That's an...

    Seriously, what is with the falling prices of firearms

    I've been waiting for this to happen ever since the panic started and the EBR craze took hold. What I'm really anxious to see is the price of barely used AR's after the price of new ones comes way down. I can already buy a new S&W M&P 15 Sport for just over $500. It's a very good rifle by...

    Taurus PT111 G2

    It's true that this line of pistols is very good. But I've seen some real clunkers that came from Taurus. I think most of us have. If you were one of the people that got burned on a Taurus you'd probably dislike the company too. Again I was very hesitant to buy one myself. But I'm glad I...

    Taurus PT111 G2

    I've had great luck with my Taurus PT-145 Millennium Pro. That pistol has never failed to feed and fire except one time it struck a round and it didn't fire. It did fire on the second strike. It had to be an issue with the cartridge IMO because I've run quite a few rounds through that gun and...

    I've shot them. My friend had some that his wife bought sorta by mistake. We shot them up one day. No problems. I've never had any problems with it with any ammo. FWIW all 220's are not created equal or so I'm told. I have the older Made In W. Germany type. Newer models (generally any...

    Do You Carry Concealed into your Church?

    I knew there was a law against carrying on postal property. I was just trying to be gentle about saying it. My wife is a postmaster. For years I worked at the post office myself until I left and became a computer consultant. I know better than to leave a gun in the truck before my wife goes...

    Ain't it though. I was used to shooting up a brick of ammo in a little over an hour not too long ago. I have a Marlin 795 that is way fun to plink with. I have like 7 mags for it so i can load up and then shoot all that ammo in no time. Loading is obviously the slow part. I could shoot the...

    Practice is what it takes to be a good shooter. I think you know that. It's a shame it's so hard to get ammo. I wish it was easier to ship ammo. I'd send you a sample or two. Maybe I can figure out how to do it. I can't make any promises. But I can buy ammo here any time I want. I'd bet...

    Article: Carrying in Church

    I agree with you 1911 guy but I actually believe in the power of Christ to protect us. He made decide not to do so but if He doesn't allow it then it won't happen. He has His plans and they are greater than we can conceive. Not that I am going to pull a Shirley McClaine and drive down a...

    Do You Carry Concealed into your Church?

    I'm pretty sure there's a federal law against carrying in a post office. I don't see how state laws get around that but then again some states allow pot smoking. That's against federal law too. I'm all for taking power away from the feds but I'd be hesitant to carry in a post office...

    I have a tanker holster for the 629 I told you about. Very nice way to carry IMO. It draws like a cross draw only better IMO and I can carry that big heavy Smith and feel like it's out of the way. A popular brand of ammo around here is CCI SV. It's sub-sonic and it's accurate in almost...

    That's what the bench rest shooters use for .22 competition. It's pretty much a standard really. It takes the right ammo to shoot 100 yards accurately. Most people like to buy super-sonic ammo and it often drops through the trans-sonic stage before it reaches 100 yards which means a big loss...

    The conventional wisdom on this is that a barrel will increase accuracy all the way up to a 16" barrel. Lots of people say that longer barrels are more accurate though. Still a 16" barrel seems to the point when big changes cease but add more length and maybe you get slight increases in...

    The gun being used makes a difference of course. I've shot pretty good groups at 75 yards with that bull barrel Ruger. But a rifle can shoot even further. I've shots lots of 1" groups at 100 yards and hitting small targets at 200 yards isn't all that hard. Something the size of a water...

    I was able to shoot it accurately. Again it was one of the most accurate pistols I've ever shot and I've been shooting for over 50 years. I've shot quite a few pistols believed to be accurate by most. The Ruger was right in there will all of them. And there are those that agree that the 10"...

    Article: Carrying in Church

    In the Garden of Gethsemane Peter was admonished by Christ to put up his sword because it wasn't the time for such actions. Christ was certainly capable of defending himself but He knew there was a greater purpose at hand. But Jesus did not tell his followers not to carry a sword. He did tell...

    Do You Carry Concealed into your Church?

    We certainly aren't out of the fight when it comes to guns. But when the gubmit tries to tell churches they MUST marry gays there will be trouble. That's what I meant was fodder for another board. But like Limbaugh says, the whole reason for the second amendment is to make sure the government...

    Yeah don't it make you sick. I know some people swear they aren't any more accurate than the shorter barrel versions but they seemed to be to me. Maybe it was just in my head. My shorter Buck Mark shoots pretty well. Still those pistols generally sell for double what Buds got and it was a...
