    The Gun You Would Trust your Life To

    Series 70 Mk IV Gold Cup National Match. It was bought new by me after my stint in the Phillipines. I have shot 50,000 + rounds through it and never had a failure I couldn't handle in the field right there. Anyone who thinks a .45 Colt is "unreliable" should take the time to learn how to use one.

    Ain't it funny.....

    Another neat thing to do is give one of your gun buddies an accessory for a gun he dosen't have. Then see how long it takes ;)

    Gun Myths and Legends

    I think that MG that was used by that Marine on Iwo was taken from a Navy bomber and they had done a field conversion on it. Something like sights from a BAR, stock from an M1 that kind of thing. The big difference was the cyclic rate of fire, which was something like 1200 rpm.

    Topic has been talked to death.... but

    To the OP; How about a Winchester Model 94 or Marlin 336? In 30.30 or .35? About the best "knock around" mediun caliber rifles I know of. Just my opinion.

    How likely is civil discussion to occur here on THR with anti-gunners?

    I'm kind of singular in my view on this, so here goes. I don't allow any one else to make my decision for me as to when I carry. Not someone who owns property, rents property or who has a place of business. I carry my weapon to protect myself and my family, I carry it concealed unless I'm...

    What kind of gun do I have?

    Open up the cylinder and look at the crane. You will see the model number there. S&W mdl 337 is an Airlite ti 1.75" barrel .38 Special capable of firing .38 +p loads. I believe it is the lightest of the "j" frame S&W's. Excellent carry piece. Also offered with a shrouded hammer.

    Antique guns trigger UMSL campus scare

    My understanding was he was also dressed in period clothing. Evidently this is something he's done in his class for several years.

    .40 S&W for Coyote defense

    They don't always run away. Right after my stroke, I was sitting at my sisters and got 4 shots at a coy over a three hour period. (I was using a .22mag rifle and couldn't steady my left hand). It was bound and determined to get a chicken from the barnyard and was not going to be denied. One miss...

    What's your favorite TARGET shotgun?

    Agree 100% on the Broadway. Bought mine in 1981 and 10's of thousands of clays can't be wrong. Jim

    Dumb double barrel question

    Once upon a time, I had a SxS Stevens (I think a Mdl 312?) That I decided to try with slugs. ( I read alot about the old African Hunters and that was as close as I could get to a double rifle:)) So, I paced off @100 steps and was hitting a little wide on a paper plate. I sandbagged her down...

    New With Questions

    I daily carry a Combat Commander in an El Paso Saddlery Yaqui Slide. I find it very comfortable, but it does require a cover shirt.

    Skeet question

    Two of the ranges I used to shoot at were combination ranges ( trap and skeet). If you shot past your markers you would be in line of sight to the next ranges trap house. If someone was loading the trap, it could be bad. Try and stay inside the markers, a lost bird is better than the other.
