    Good spare 12ga shotgun

    Wow! Back when I bought my 12ga 500 I paid a whopping $186 NIB. Either I'm getting really old or something's wrong with gun prices these days. I've got a matching 20ga (500A?) that I won in a raffle ... cost me two $1 tickets. Back OT: While I'm not a lefty, I prefer the action of the 870s to...

    An AR15 or shotgun for my situation? I will eventually get both, but which one first?

    Shotguns will always have a place in my arsenal. I've got two Mossbergs (12 & 20) and recently bought my first 870 (20ga. express). IMHO, the 870 is better quality by far. The ability to reconfigure a pump shotgun for different uses: HD, upland bird, turkey, deer, etc. with usually just a barrel...

    Is fishing line and a rag okay for a boresnake?

    I keep an Otis "Kit 'n Kaboodle" in my range bag along with a FO bore light and an AA mag light. The kit goes on my belt if I'm in the field shooting or hunting. They're handy little kits to have around and they work on everything from .22 cal to 12 gauge. Jack

    How many different calibers?

    .22 lr .38 spl 9mm Para .45 acp .223/5.56 Nato 30-30 20 ga. 12 ga. Layaways and future plans will add: .22 short & long .44 spl/mag So ... 8 current calibers (9 planned) and err, 10 current guns (15 planned). Not too hard to keep track of and all fairly easy to find ammo for. My needs are...

    Got a new Python. :)

    All beautiful guns. A 6" Python is on my list of guns to get soon. I had a stainless 4" Anaconda for years but was forced to sell it off during some hard times ... I still cry at night. :( My top three gotta have guns are all Colts: 6" Python (blue or stainless, I ain't picky! ;)) Mint...

    How many have bought a "Heller Handgun"?

    "More 'in case of Obama' than Heller...." That's exactly why I bought my AR. Took me 8 months to pay it off but I got in under the wire. I haven't even shot it yet but at least I know I've got one. Now I really want a Sabre Defence upper in 6.8 SPC to go with it. I still might pick up a...

    First 1911 help for a 1911 newbie??

    So, did you pick up the new Bear today? Bet you're still grinning like an idiot, aren't you? I know I was when I got my Nighthawk. Feels good to own one of the best 1911s made, doesn't it? ;) Can't wait for your pics and initial range report. Jack

    How many have bought a "Heller Handgun"?

    I just put a Colt Commander on layaway yesterday, does that count? I've got some minor tweaks in mind for this one and then it'll be my new carry gun. Thinking I'll bobtail it and set it up as close to my NHC T3 as possible: Straight Eights, crowned barrel, 3.5 - 4 lb trigger, etc. Jack

    Colt xse lightweight commander in da house

    Colt does not use the Kimber safety system ("schwartz"), they do produce series 80 guns, Springfield uses extra power FP springs and Ti firing pins as their safety measures. There's nothing wrong with series 80 guns, they're just as reliable as series 70s and the trigger pull can be just as...

    NHC T3 range report.

    I was finally able to get my new Nighthawk T3 to the range this morning. I was a little pressed for time as I had plans for a late lunch with my folks, so I didn't get to put quite as many rounds through it as I otherwise would've. I also had to adjust the new sights on my G19 and run the...

    Colt xse lightweight commander in da house

    That's a beauty. I've always had a soft spot for Colts anyway, they fit my grip and shooting style better than most other makers I've tried. Good luck with the 'smith's mods, hopefully you'll be trouble free and carrying soon. Jack

    My new Nighthawk.

    Well, retail was $2699.99 and our State and local taxes came to $249.75. Our Legislature avoids an income tax by having one of the highest sales tax rates in the country :rolleyes:. Other than that, it's an issue of what the market will bear I suppose. I wasn't so much set on a Nighthawk but I...

    My new Nighthawk.

    "$3,000 that's a sweet deal, but where's the car, I only see a gun in the photo." I know what you mean, seems like it should at least make coffee in the morning ;). After this gun, I'm back in the Springfield, Colt, S&W price range for any future purchases. It was my one "had to have it"...

    My new Nighthawk.

    Thanks all, I'm lovin' this new gun ... at least until my wife finds out how much it cost. Let's see: - Sights are Heinie Slantpro Straight Eights w/tritium - Pistol comes with 2, 7 round OACP mags made by ACT-Mag in Italy. From what I understand, they make the mags for Novak as well. - There's...

    My new Nighthawk.

    Went to check out a new gun shop Tuesday and there it was, calling my name. I asked to look at the Nighthawk Custom T3 he had in the case and that was all it took ... well, that and about $3,000! :eek: It's my first high end gun and likely my last so I figured, you only live once...
