    Ammo Shortage merged threads, aka UberUltraMasterAmmoThreadOfPower

    It's weird. New York, New Jersey and Maryland all surround Pennsylvania, and are some of the most farged up, restrictive states in the union. Pennsylvania sits like an oasis in the middle of the left-wing loon desert of those states. I reload, so I can't say I feel your pain. I feel bad for you...

    S&W Model 27 or Colt Python?

    I'm partial to the notion S&W to 357 magnum is like Colt to 1911's. Everything in 357mag that isn't a S&W is a "clone". :D

    I need a 357...

    I'm a S&W man, myself(revolvers anyway). Not a fan of newer ones, though..IL and all. I've seen several recommendations for the 65, 66, 19 and such..good choices all. Owned a 686, nice gun, but was also a newer one w/o the IL, but had frame-mounted firing pin=didn't like and gave light primer...

    N Frame and L Frame help me pick a size

    I have owned/own J, K, L and N-frame S&Ws. I guess you could say I have above avg-sized hands. Holding a Glock 21 is no problem for me like others seem to post, and holding an N-frame S&W is not either. That said, a K-frame is perhaps the best feeling/balanced revolver I've ever carried. That bs...

    This is what kind of refinish job S&W does. (pic heavy)

    This is what kind of refinish job S&W does. (pic heavy)

    This model 27 has been posted a cpl times, so sorry for the repeat, but the OP talks about the old finishs' "deeper" blue, and my 27 has it at about 90%. I have tossed the idea around of having it reblued, but only if it were to come close to what the original "fall into" blue looks like. I...

    Taurus Model 94 .22lr any good?

    I had a blued 4" model 94, wood grips..must be an older version. Gave light primer strikes in DA and SA, but mostly DA. Cylinder release button was always jiggly, could never tighten. When it did fire, I found it to be pretty accurate to 20 yrds or so, I never tried further. For around $250 +/-...

    Security Six

    I've used gunbroker and auctionarms quite a bit over the last three years, with only 4 or so that were problematic. One of them is currently stealing bullets to make up for what he loses on the auction. I saw a feedback where he blamed the post office, same as he is doing with me now. Didn't...

    Security Six

    I prefer Hogue monogrips on my Ruger security six, but whatever feels best for you.

    Wood grips for a Taurus M85?

    Why do you, virg, feel compelled to troll an argument here? Do you think you elevate others perception of you by portraying yourself as some righteous poster? I didn't "start" anything, sport. I posted 2 friggin' months ago and the OP brought me back to it with a PM, so get off your high horse...

    Wood grips for a Taurus M85?

    ?:confused: Do you get that assessment from the facts I pointed out above, or is this just a broad-stroke pre-conceived notion?

    Wood grips for a Taurus M85?

    1. Except bring much higher resale/less depreciation at selling time(yes, some of us don't keep every gun we buy for life), Accuracy: I've never shot a taurus that was worth it's weight in sheep-dung compared to S&Ws, customer service: do we even have say anything about taurus cust serv? or...

    Wood grips for a Taurus M85?

    Classic! I love that line! THAT is the best one retorts on THR. As for: First off, no sane person with any taste would put Taurus grips(the only ones with that kind of freakish grips on market) on a S&W. As for your project, my father would say something like "it's still lipstick on a...

    S&W Model 27 or Colt Python?

    S&W model 27 5" all the way! Call me biased, but I just loooooove the model 27!:cool:

    Which Glock would you get?

    Huh? Glock's make excellent 45's, I don't think I or you know what you are talking about.:confused: This is my second G21 and both have been flawless with HPs, LSWCs..anything, in addition to double the capacity of 1911's.:rolleyes:

    Why no police departments issue an XD:

    Just one polymer, a Glock 21. I started out not liking Glocks, I guess that's why I turned to the XD-40. Unlike some other XD owners, I recognized the issues already raised with the XDs, and accepted I made a mistake by buying it. I'm very happy with my G21, and alternate between it and my...

    Now I'm a troll. Classic. Thanx for proving my point. Just out of curiousity, let's get some ages here. <--42

    Why no police departments issue an XD:

    Wow. Simply raise the issue of XD's flaws and shortcomings, soon the calls for locking thread, "you don't belong" remarks, and talk of banning come in to play. Very sad. Hey fellers, get over it. Your XD(HS2000 really) ISN'T perfect, everyone doesn't have to like it, and they ARE allowed to...

    Why no police departments issue an XD:

    I guess "trolling" is subjective in this case. If you own an XD, then the OP is "trolling" because he brings to light the inadequacies and shortcomings of the XD. Basically, with the last Badger post he is saying "Quickly! someone lock this thread before MORE ppl come on to tell horror stories...

    Why no police departments issue an XD:

    I owned an XD-40. Worst gun I ever owned! WAY too top-heavy, probably the most unbalanced gun I've ever shot, definitely the highest priced inaccurate gun I've ever shot. The finish was dull, and overall the gun looked like the designer was trying too hard to make it look like a Glock at same...
