I have a S&W 639 that I'll never let go - and for the very reasons you said.

Look at a older offering from Ruger - a Speed-Six.

Be careful it it was polished up. It may of had other "gunsmithing" done to it too. W

Get a lightly-used Golf Bag w/ hood. Inexpensive, works like a charm and holds a bunch. ;) W

The 870 idea, with a twist. Make mine an Ithaca 8-shot M&P. Because my 870 DIDN"T go "bang" every time. W

I've owned five Sigs over the years. I currently have none. They are of great quality. They are accurate and look great. However . . . 1911 and Glock owners / shooters should know from experience how much pure GUNK can accumulate in the firing pin channel (or area) of autoloaders...

Colt Gunsite CCO Colt Gunsite CCO .... Series 70 Perfect balance between size and handling 100% reliable, even during break-in Simple to detail strip / complete critical parts access Absolute best ergo's of any 1911-type pistol I have ever felt. Was harder to find and expensive to...

Your situation seems to preclude the need for just a mere rifle. While some ideas here are a bit "out-there", may I suggest the following. Except for a few safe spots known to just you and your family, install a switch that unlatches your flooring areas and drops anyone on it into a basement...

Hey, thanks guys. That's some stuff I never knew about this variation. W

Hi all, One of the guns I routinely search the auctions for is a Marlin 39TDS. I find their basic Model 39 quality and 16" barrel to be an irresistible combination and I will not rest until I own one. Well, lucky me, today's search revealed no less than three of them being offered. One of...

Superb leads . . . . thanks guys

Anybody ever find a custom 1911 like one from Novak or Yost on the auction sites?

I fully agree that the semi-customs are the likes of Ed Brown, Wilson, Les Baer, Fusion, Nighthawk and some others. Those aren't the ones I'm after right now. As they say in some ads, I'd like a "unique example of a gunmakers art" while I can still get it and if there's any way at all -...

Beautiful stuff. If I had to get on a gunsmith's waiting list, for YEARS yet, my wife would definitely forget she ever gave me the go-ahead to purchase it. Anyone ever work around that one?

Thanks. I'd be less than honest if I said the exclusivity factor didn't enter into it. Like cars or watches, if just doing their basic job (even very well) was the objective, things could easily be accomplished for less. I do realize that. I think the extra toll can get a little bit of...

I have the custom 1911 "bug" again and just might make it happen this time around. I've always liked Novak's work but realize there are others out there. Anyone with experience with any of the famous gunsmiths? Are their wait times a killer? Thanks, W

A .30 caliber boltgun offers a whole lot here and should be considered. Don't forget a high quality scope. If your activities include home defense and/or travel in and around close-quarters urban areas, my choice would be a 16" stainless Mini-14. IMO the Mini is simple, compact, reliable...

Welcome housedad!

Another twist; anyone have any hesitation in buying one of the future (and possibly more fairly priced) guns all the manufacturers are now "ramping up" production on? I'm thinking things like quality control. QC was just "OK" before all this, and who knows what the future might bring. We...

Thanks too for that info jmr40. W
