    what would be everyones, go to rifle.

    Actually an easy question. My go to rifle since the late 80's is a numbers matching (including the numbered stock) SKS. I've run 1000's of rounds thru it in the over 40 yrs I've owned it and not a single hiccup. If I'm on my tractor, my SKS is in the rack behind my head. Good for hogs, varmints...

    Wanting something for squirrel control besides a 22 and need opinions.

    That's what I was going to suggest. I have a .25 cal Benjamin Marauder that's great on all small to medium size game. Super accurate and the .25 packs a wallop. Quiet enough for use in neighborhoods where a .22 with bird shot would be frowned on. It's PCP too, Dano

    The sks rifle. your thoughts

    I bought one in 1991. I had been on the receiving end in Nam, figured I'd try being on the opposite end for awhile. Carried it in my patrol car as did several other deputies, for several years until we were issued AR's and mandated to carry only them or a Rem. 870. I went with the 870. I...

    25-Yd zero for a 9mm carbine

    My Beretta CX4 Storm's Sig Romeo Red Dot is zeroed at 20yds, .5 inch high at 35 and dead on again at 50. That's using 115gr Nato by Winchester. It's a 16 inch barrel and the Romeo is a 2MOA Dot. It's my wifes go to rifle. Each gun is different as well as ammo so each needs to be sited in (25 yds...

    .380 ACP the Red Haired Stepchild?

    I carry a .380 on those days where my attire makes it necessary. My EDC is a Sig P365 60 percent of the time. During summer months it's a S&W60-14 .357 mag or an LCRx38. This allows me to carry snake shot for copperheads and rattlesnakes we have. For those of you that have never seen what a .380...

    EDC SD Knife Suggestions

    I EDC a Kershaw Launch 8 (the larger one) and it's smaller brother a Launch 12. Both Automatics, both made in the USA. They can be had for around $100 when on sale. My other EDC is this one, a Kershaw Outlier. An assisted flipper and/or thumb stud opening folding Karambit. It's not made in...

    Rimfire rifle vs shotgun for squirrel

    I like a .25 cal pellet gun and head shots. Got into using a pellet gun a few years back to shoot snapping turtles out of my pond without the ricochet a .22 rifle could do. Found some of my ducklings were disappearing and one day saw a snapping turtle get one. A declaration of war was declared...

    340 PD (titanium Jframe) first time out

    I had one of the first ones out, born on 8/23/05. Truly a carry much, shoot little gun. I carried .357 in it but trained with .38's and shoot one cylinder of .357 now and then. A buddy of mine wanted it and kept at it until I gave in and traded it to him for his 60-14 .357. It's heavy enough...

    Opinions wanted: shoulder holsters

    FWIW, I have 3 and I've never wore any of them more than a handful of times. I'd love it if I could wear them but I guess my arms are too short. With my bad back and hips, sometimes I just can't carry on my hip and have to go to pocket carry which means I can't carry my beloved P220 Combat or my...

    Only 1 Hunting Rifle

    I have a Remington 700 VTR in .308 that I like real well but I can't recommend Remington anymore as a company since the 700 trigger debacle. I put a Timney 510 trigger in mine instead of sending it back and waiting months for it to be fixed. Zeroed at 33 yards, it's 1.75 high at 120 yds and...

    It’s black! Squirrel.

    We have one black squirrel on our property here in East TN. Haven't been able to get a picture of him yet. First one I ever saw here, and I've lived on these 28 acres of woodlands for 53 tears. Dano

    SW 340PD ported?

    I had a 340PD. .38's were ok. But the +P's & .357 on the other hand were decidedly unpleasant. I have enough experience to know that in combat, you never notice the recoil, but practice with full house .357's was a carry a lot, shoot only occasionally thing. I traded it to a friend who wanted it...

    S&W sweetness... which one?

    Same here, My 29 is a 4" blue. Nice to own but not at all practical for carry unless you live in Alaska. My 66 is a 3" made in 8f for Ashland Shooter Supply. 1 of 4195 made. It is a great carry revolver. Concealable, accurate, and practical for EDC. Dano

    J-Frame Pocket Carry

    I agree, AHolster or Alabama Holster. I have several of both and it's all I use for pocket carry. Dano

    Return to Mayberry (Service Revolvers)

    Everyone is different. Me personally: I spent 41 years as an LEO, 3 cities, 2 counties and the state. From 69 to 80 I carried a 38 Model 10; 80 to 88 a .357 model 27; 88 to 91, a Colt .45 Combat Elite and from 91 to retirement 2013 a Glock 19 Gen 2 (I kept). That said, I never had a problem with...

    That One Go-to .357

    That is a difficult question to answer. For concealability, I'd say my S&W m60-14 but for overall accuracy, recoil and because it's rare, my M66-2. Luckily, I don't have to choose between them. Dano

    Do You Carry a Snubby? Why? Prove it.

    I'm 73 yrs old and have developed arthritis in my hands and hips. In my hands, I have especially my thumbs, I have a hard time with the slide and ejection release on a semi-auto anymore. Also, the weight of my favorite .45, a Sig P220 hurts my hip and lower back. After Nam, I became a cop in 69...

    First and Last

    My first revolver I purchased was in 1969, a model 36 as a back up for my new job as a Metro DC Police Officer. My last was a model 60 2 inch .357 Mag. I traded a friend of mine for. Dano
