    Matchlocks and Wheelocks

    As I have gotten older, I find my interest in firearms has shifted into more blackpowder. Oh sure I own an AR15. And also modern pistols like my Hellcat that I use for my CCW. I also own a couple double action revolvers and a single action revolver which is my New Vaqeuro. But I also own a CVA...

    Beretta Tomcat

    So was at my local gunstore yesterday and they had a tax free promotion on quite a few things. Long story short, I bought a Beretta Tomcat Inox. Never owned a 32 and in the last few years I have been on a mouse gun kick. I like the feel of the fat grip. They had 32 ammo available. It was the...

    New CCW

    I got lucky and bought a Springfield Hellcat a few days ago. While the gun store was mostly devoid of handguns, they had a few Hellcats left. I had waited awhile after the Hellcat came out to see if it there were any problems. Today bought a 1791 IWB holster and carried it today appendix...

    CVA Hawken Rifle

    While visiting family over the holidays, my Uncle informed me he would be giving me some of his guns. Of course I was happy to receive them. I credit my Uncle for my interest in guns. One of the guns is a CVA Hawken rifle. He said he had fired it may be a handful of times. He mostly bought it to...

    Seecamp 25

    I just recently bought a brand new Seecamp 25ACP. Already fired two magazines through it. It functioned fine with Winchester, PPU, and Remington FMJ. Functioned fine. The pistol looks and feels well made. Definitely not like those zinc alloy 25's of which I own one of. They just recently brought...

    S&w 642ct

    Over the weekend I bought a S&W 642 with the crimson trace laser grips. I like the look and the fact it is light. It may only hold 5 rounds, but that is ok with me. I will be taking my conceal class in a month or so. I cannot wait as I have put this off for a couple of years already. Will have...

    So going to have some extra money for a new gun. First thought an get AR15 since I do not own one yet. I have a mini 14 though and love it! Still gotta an AR one day. Being in the military I am very familiar with it. However came across the PTR in a gun magazine and looked into it more. Found...

    Interesting (Beretta Carbine)

    I own a beretta carbine in 9mm. Really bought it for fun and the fact I always wanted a pistol carbine. Its light and fun to shoot. I know on these forums its been discussed that some don't see the reason for these as if you have a rifle, you might as well have one that shoots rifle cartridges...

    How much do you spend?

    How much do you spend on ammo in a year? For me I have an allowance of $100 dollars a month to spend on this hobby. I guess lately over half has been going to ammo. Was wondering what everyone else spends?

    Divorce and guns

    Well here shortly will be filing for divorce. The soon to be ex moved out awhile ago. Caught her cheating and she basically wanted out. So Christmas kinda sucked. Now the guns are all mine and she is being fair overall with me keeping the house and stuff. At least that's a plus. Now this post...

    Lorcin L25

    This past weekend drill I bought a little Lorcin 25 auto for 25 bucks from one of my soldiers. Why? Well I always wanted a 25 auto. Not for self defense, just to own. Now I know Lorcins are cheap. But the soldier I bought it from had it for many years and shot it on occasion. He said he never...

    Ruger 96/22

    I was sitting here cleaning my 96/22 magnum rifle and after I reassembled it, I realized that out of all my guns, this one has been shot the most. I don't hunt but use it for plinking and such. It was my first rifle I owned and bought her back in 06. She may not be a tack driver but is good...

    Finally!

    For awhile I just could not get any 50ae at my lgs which is a decent sized one by the way. Cabela's locally was out and even a few places onlines were out as well. Granted I probably didn't check every ammo site online. Well yesterday I had to drop off a uniform at an alterations place. My...

    Boosting NRA membership

    Everyone knows that right now we are in a fight for gun rights. We stand to lose some if we don't sound off with one large voice. The NRA is that large voice right now. Membership needs to be high so the antis cannot say that the NRA represents only a minority of gun owners. Now I know alot of...

    Guns you wanted.....

    ......when you were a kid or teenager. Meaning you as a kid or teenager, saw a gun or guns you wanted and eventually got them. For me, as a teenager, I always wanted a single action revolver, like from the westerns. Also remember looking at guns magazines from the eighties and wanting particular...

    M1 carbine

    I have an auto ordnance made m1 carbine. Though not the "real deal" I find it a nice little carbine for what it is. It shoots accurate and functions well. I had it out of the safe the other day though and thought about although how it started out as a replacement for the 1911 for rear echelon...

    A lost python

    I had meant to make this post quite awhile ago but totally forgot. Awhile ago while coming back from deployment from the middle east, I saw something that just made me sad. When returning from deployment, everyone must go through a customs search to make sure your not bringing back things your...

    Then and now

    For many older folks on this forum, there was a time when gun control was in its infancy, kids could carry rifles to school to go hunting afterwards, nobody cared if little Johnny drew a picture of a gun at school, and machine guns were alot easier to own. Today of course things have...

    Model 1 S&W?

    My Uncle has this revolver with no serial number he bought many years ago from a neighbor. He told me about it and sent pictures. He and I think it is a S&W model 1 revolver but aren't sure. Any ideas? Also since there is no serial number I guess it would be hard to find out when it was made?
