I'm torn! My heavily customized Jennings J22 has been a wonderful companion on cold winter nights, but I could be tempted for $100. Custom features include stipling on the slide and frame (where it was dropped on the driveway) and specialized grips which have a just a hint of duct tape to hold...

6-Round Conversion Yes, it is possible, but I can't offer any insight as to how EXCEPT....I have 3 M52 mags, one of which holds 6 rounds. If you want to trade 1-for-1 for that one, let me know.

Another Remington 550-1 Birthday present for my 12th birthday (I just turned 60). Accounted for many cans, rabbits (especially snowshoes in Maine), and a groundhog or two. Lots of rifles/shotguns/handguns have passed through my hands - this one stays!

Colt LW Commander in .38 Super (~1956 vintage) with some personalized mods (ambi safety and front strap checkering). Never misses a beat!

In addition to my basic battery (.22, 9mm, .357, .40, .44, .45), I have occasionally dabbled with those calibers that are a little bit weirder, hard to find, and/or expensive to feed - specifically, .32 H&R Mag, .357 Rem Max, and .38 Super. I have not (yet) been bitten by the large S&Ws...

Daewoo Have a DH40 (.40 S&W, 10 rd) and DP51 (9mm, 13 rd). Aluminum frames, about the size of a Colt Commander. Both with ambidextrous safeties, non luminous 3-dot sights. I actually like the "tri-fire" option (push the cocked hammer forward and you get a very light, pre-loaded trigger pull)

Senility Warning! (Heads-Up to Handloaders) I'm posting this as a warning that even the best of memories fade (which can be especially dangerous with things that go BOOM!) I went through my junque closet and actually found the CoreLokts (30 cal, 30 total) that I offered. However, the...

Remington Core-Lokt I might have a few (~20) 150 gr RN Remingtons at home I can send you to try (I have an extensive junque closet that my wife would love to see emptied sometime in her lifetime, so they won't cost you anything). I will have to find them (no guarantees). E-mail with...

Have you tried a Mueller? I just bought a basic 3 - 10X44 (non-illuminated) for my .308 and am impressed (http://www.muelleroptics.com). The scope feels nice and solid, is clear, and has solid, repeatable adjustments. Price was right. It might not have the reputation of some of the...

Rod & Gun Club Special Walther PPK in .22 for $65 (about a week's pay back then). Carried it fin a shirt pocket or many years while hunting rabbits - it reliably killed a few along the way. Traded it straight up for another good deal - Colt Combat Commander in 9mm. Wish I still had...

Filmed Kill ~45 years ago, The American Sportsman (as I recall - I'm talking ancient history here) filmed Robert Stack on safari. (This was well before the politically correct days and this was a regular Sunday afternoon broadcast.) Mr. Stack was a US champion skeet shooter in his younger...

"Girl Hunters" BDHawk: Spillane acted in a couple of the movie versions of his books. In "The Girl Hunters", he has a knock-down, drag-out fight that leaves him exhausted. In order to secure his opponent, he uses the hammer and nail trick. There is an early scene where he (in his best bully...

Pocket Pistol & Shotgun As I was leaving a European assignment (years ago), I made one last stop at the Rod & Gun Club store. Walked out with Walther PPK in .22LR for $65 and a Beretta O/U 20ga (S55/with extractors rather than ejectors) for $140. (For comparison, my flight pay was $150 month...

Silencer I thought I saw an old Sionics in .32 (for a Skorpion?), but they don't show it on their web sight. I think the WWII Welrod was in .32 (and the DeLisle in 45), but they were all silencer with an action attached. You may recall one of the early James Bond flics where he was given a...

As I recall: I had one in .380 many moons ago. The design philosophy (and rough size) was, I think, very similar to the PP/PPK and Mauser HsC - blowback, double action first shot, decocker, in .22, .32 and .380, with an aluminum frame variant. They were imported from Astra in Spain by Garcia...

At a local gun range, I saw an older gentleman shooting a S&W M41 with a strange attachment, which he was kind enough to show me. He was using a very classic slow fire target shooting stance and seemed to be keeping his shots in the black at 25 yds. He had a ~7 inch barrel that was threaded...

Moisin 91/30 Go to http://www.7.62x54r.net/ for a bunch of extremely helpful links (photos, specs, variants ballistics, etc.)

Super Range Fairfax Rod & Gun Club is close to what you are looking for (but with 300 yd max range I think), but pricey (and by sponsorship only). When I first arrived in this area, there was a 5 year waiting list. Don't know what it is now. I won't quote the figures because my memory is...
