    Anybody have the Mossberg door breaching 18.5 inch barrell for an 870?

    I picked up one about 3 weeks ago from Cheaper than Dirt, it was the plain 18" Mossberg barrel for my 1969 870 WingMaster. $106 for the barrel and $31 for a new Limbsaver recoil pad. Just a great shooting platform for slugs and 00 and nice looking to boot.

    Maverick 88 or NEF Pardner Protector?

    I went thru the same exercise, looked at all the $200 12gauges for HD. Just didn't like the hollow feel, ended up buying an 18" for my old 870 WingMaster for $100, added a new Limbsaver pad for $30 more, I would not trade it for anything now. A new 870 WM goes for about $600 so that kinda tells...

    Pistol for Grizzly Country

    Matrix, we also do alot of stream fishing in the summer up in Lincoln County primarily the Yaak river and tributarys. This is black and grizzly country so we always carry protection, mostly S & W's. SW M29 is good heavy gun but SW M329 Airlight is amazingly light for 44 mag and is my choice...

    What's you favorite 9mm autoloader?

    Go with CZ P01 which is based on the Browning design.

    Got it down to two choices, PX4 or PCR

    P01 is 20% lighter than PCR due to alloy vs steel frame. Holds 15 rds and a real pleasure to shoot.

    U.S. standard military sidearm.....45 vs. 9mm

    New question, I was at Danang Airbase in 1969. Marines carried 1911 .45's while USAF security personnel carried S&W .38's. Anybody know if .38 was standard sidearm until replaced by 92F.

    9mm vs. 38 Special

    In addition, the 9mm uses a "hotter" powder primarily to generate high pressures in a 4'' barrels. The .38 just cannot match this performance especially in a 2'' snubby. However performance is relative, both will kill you just as dead. Like you I have both along with a .45 and needless to say...

    9mm vs. 38 Special

    Short version. SAAMI pressure ratings for the 9mm are 35,000 PSI for standard and 38,500 for +P. There are no designated SAAMI specs for +P+ that I can find. The .38 Special, SAAMI pressure for the standard pressure load is 17000 PSI. The +P has a ceiling of 20000 PSI. There are no SAAMI...

    At Least Academy Has Ammo...

    I see trucks hauling containers out to their central warehouse at I-10 and Mason Rd constantly. I do not know how many cases of ammo a container would hold but it is alot. Thank goodness for our Serbian brothers. Carters Country has plenty of .45's but at nearly $40 a box, they will always have...

    At Least Academy Has Ammo...

    My favorite Academy alway has several cases of 9mm Monarch Brass behind the shelf. One of the benefits of living near the Port of Houston and Academy's main distribution warehouse. WWB are $12.50 compared to $10.50 for MB.

    The CZ Club

    I got my CZ P01 about 3 weeks ago, NIB for $543 through a friend with a FFL. The date on the target included with my P01 was Feb 14, 2008 which brings up the question, if it was manufactored immediately prior to test firing, where are all the P01's built in the last year. For recent P01 buyers...

    Picked up a new CZ P 01 today

    I got mine about 3 weeks ago. Test fire date said 14.02.08. Does that mean Feb 02, 08? 200 rds and it was grouping better than the initial test group. Sweet.

    What Semi-Auto would you buy for ~$750?

    Vote CZ P01 also, at $550 leaves plenty for a good holster and 1000 rounds of range ammo.

    Why do people hate the 9mm?

    Wild Bill Hickok, considered the wests best gun fighter used 9mm cap/ball pistols. He said one should aim for a man's "guts"--it might not kill him, but it would put him out of action. He seemed to do OK although under gunned, well that is until he was interesting enough killed by a .45.

    Why do people hate the 9mm?

    “As for usefulness in "combat situations" all I can add is that you should carry a firearm in a chambering that you shoot well.” Thirdeagle is absolutely right. The .45 is deeply rooted in our history as a nation; it is American as apple pie. If one simply compares the ballistics of the .45...

    i dont no what it is double barrel oldie

    Several years ago I inherited a L.C. Smith DB in 12 gauge. My grandfather had bought the gun sometime after WWI and my father had used it growing up in the 30's. He said it shot well the last time he used it but that was in the 40's. I posted the serial number on a website and was told it was...

    Need a little advice. Hogs (E. Texas)

    We shot a deer in the morning and that afternoon put the carcass in a ROW in hopes of enticing a coyote to come in. The hogs showed up first and ate everything including the bones.

    SW Mod 629 is being considered

    I had not considered 44 mag before but the thought has started. I live in Texas so its somewhat inpractical, however every summer we go to NW Montana. I have a friend who has a cabin on the Kootenay River just outside of Troy. There are a few grizzlies up in the mountains but we mostly see black...
