    Ruger 45 LC Bisley

    This was built for me by John Gallagher back in the 90's. He shaped the stag grips for me too.

    .243 Against 1/4 Steel Plate

    I went to the range today to mess around with my .375 Model 94 and my Interarms .243. I took along my 1/4 steel buffalo target that I use for rimfire shooting. With the rimfires I shoot away and at the end of the day hit the buffalo with some white spray paint and it's as good as new. Not so...

    Best 45 colt combat revolver

    This is mine. Model 25-5; cut to three inches, ported, round butted, night sights. Pretty well done by an unknown gunsmith. I picked it up at a local gun show for $500 OTD. I love it.

    In Vietnam war when ARMY or Marines when out on Patrol

    I was an 11 Bravo for six years in the '80's. 101st, Southern Command in Panama and 2nd ID in Korea. Couple of trips to patrol along the Honduran/Nicaraguan border, 21 months in Korea on the DMZ. We usually carried six 30 round mags in pouches on our LBEs and one mag in our rifles for 210 rounds...

    "Starts with FOUR" Big bore snub nosed carry gun

    I stumbled on my dream gun last year. $499 out the door. A S&W 25-5 .45 Colt. It looks to be a former 6 inch cut to a ported 3 inch, round butted with night sights. Unknown gunsmith. It would have cost me $1500+ to build this gun. At 15 yards it keyholes pretty bad with .452 SWC 255 grain...

    Victorinox Pocket Watch

    I know this may not be the appropriate thread or venue for this but I visit the site often and I respect the knowledge of a lot of folks here. I have a great Victorinox/Swiss Army Pocket Watch that I've had for 10+ years. It's engraved with a personal sentiment that makes it that much more...

    What are you going to do with the Ruger/Gunsite Scout?

    Perhaps I'm missing the point but I have a 25 year old Interarms .243 that will do most anything this fine weapon will do (within reason). And hell, I already own it. Whenever I see new products being offered with certain claims of dubious or at least debatable superiority I am reminded of Mr...

    What revolver did author (MacLean) carry?

    The SAA has always been my assumption. Are you reading "The Ranger The Cook and the Hole in the Sky?" I love that story. The ranger, Bill Bell, was known to Elmer Keith. He mentioned Bell on page 130 of "Sixguns". I think that's pretty interesting.

    1903A3 Natl ORD

    I have one that I bought for $250 several years ago. It shoots better offhand than almost any rifle I have but it's worth less than nothing. It's a GREAT looking shooter in 30.06, which ain't bad for a $ deuce and a half. Do a quick Google search of National Ordnance and you'll get the stuff...

    Glock is the best pistol.

    I'm sorry but I looked up "Snark Magnet" in the dictionary and they referred me to this thread.... The interwebs are fun! I cringe whenever the word BEST is issued. "Best" is not an option. State an opinion. Describe why you feel this opinion may be merited. Discuss sensibly. Glocks...
