My liberal co worker always says "it's for the children", I guess this is what they were talking about.

The wife over did it a little bit while shopping in Colorado Springs, so I got her blessing to pick up something that I've wanted for two years. Winchester 1873 .38/357 short rifle. Yes, it's Japanese, but it's beautiful, and I look forward to many years of shooting it, then giving it to my son. I also have a Henry Big Boy in .38/357. I think I have enough tacticool stuff. I'm going to start looking for good lever guns, revolvers and black powder rifles.

I don'[t put it in my good guns, but for combloc milsurps or Glocks, it should be fine.

start your kids young with this, then they'll never have money for drugs.

Do you ever worry if the nails are gonna hurt your hammer? I can shoot a lot more steel case out of my Glock than brass. More practice = good.

I only buy steel cause for me brass costs to much but that's just me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only upside, if it can be considered that, to playing a stormtrooper for the kids at the hospital is the kids can't see when you tear up inside the helmet.

That's easy, if you don't have any short comings to make up for, get a .40.

Oh boy, here we go again!

New offering from Crickett coming in January 2017.

just in time for Santa's sleigh ride, the customer wants it for her husband and wanted all black inside the waist band fir a sig it just needs a few minor things tonight and its off to the customer in time to wrap and be happy. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas to all.

That's gonna be a delayed Christmas present for my 5 year old daughter.

Like others, I have had multiple calibers and ended up getting rid of all my .40's and consolidating to 9mm. I recently got a 10mm and it is now my favorite caliber by far. I reload so that helps a bit and the round is accurate and in my opinion, as easy as 45 acp to shoot. It does not seem as snappy as .40 to me. I will always have the 9mm caliber and the G20 will by my woods gun from now on. I'm also hoping to plug a deer with it soon. Underwood cast and XTP's in 180 or 200gr seem to get the best reviews from 10mm hunters.

Now the kids rifle can be all decked out just like dad's...

It's a wee sniper rifle!

I have been keeping my eye open for a .357 or .38 revolver for a while. Not a rush, but I like them. My Dad has a Smith .45 Model 1917 that I grew up around. So preference was on a Smith or a Colt. Finally found a guy who said he had a Smith & Wesson Model 10 to trade. Met him and traded. From my research this did not look like a Model 10, but looked good anyway. Got home and started digging. Looks like I am the new owner of a Smith & Wesson .38 Military & Police square butt model from the early- to mid-1920s (probably 1924/25). All the Serial numbers match, but the grips are not original. Apparently they are from the '30's and are even rarer than the ones that are supposed to be on it. I had a guy at the Smith forum immediately offer to swap me the correct ones and "a dollar or two extra." I politely declined. All in all I think I got the better end of the deal. I think he thought he just had some old revolver to get rid of. Went and shot it yesterday just out in a field and everything ran smooth. Gave her a good cleaning last night. Gonna test accuracy at the range next time. Also, looking for a nice leather holster for her to live in. The generic Uncle Mikes he gave me with it does not do this gun justice. Just wanted to share my excitement. Rarely do I get this lucky.

.

So the interwebz say he carried a 4" Colt Official Police but there are sources that claim he was seen in a few episodes with a S & W model 10. I will admit the holster in the picture I posted looks awful long for a 4 inch pistol barrel. While I'm here and you showed us yours I will show you mine. It's a predecessor to your model. Mine is a 32-20 Hand Ejector Model 1905 1st Change made between 1906-07. For a 110 year old gun that has seen some use based on what appears to be holster wear on the barrel it's amazingly tight and smooth. I wish I had the original factory grips but it was wearing the post factory mother of pearl grips when I acquired it from a distant family members estate. I guess people liked bling back in the day as much as some do now. Sorry for the less than stellar photo.

Still having trouble?

Welcome to Tenn. and TGO I think you'll like both. Too bad you had to leave such a beautiful state because of the libtards.

As I understand it they are just reviving an old caucus that existed from 04-08 and 09-13.

Kind of in the same position as far as enough black stuff for now and going for other interesting things. I picked up a Beretta 21a in .25 caliber last weekend. Looking for a Marlin Lever in 30-06 to go with my other Marlin lever guns and a .357 revolver.

I really love lever guns. I'm deer hunting with a scoped Marlin 44 mag I bought from a friend a couple of years ago. I also have a Henry .22 lever that is a blast to shoot.

Here's an article that gives the inaugural members of the Caucus: 2nd amendment caucus

Chauhan Ale and Masala House Putting this here for no other reason than to "bookmark" it for the future because I have to go there.

To sum it up: Everything you know and love about S&W will most likely be MORE secure as we walk into the future because the corporate umbrella carries a name that reflects the diversity of its holdings.

When I've had venison on the past, I usually either used the 'ol grill for steaks and the crock pot for roasts. I don't have a smoker but I've used my grill to do that at times so I've got those 3 covered I think. Since I've now got around 40lbs of meat in my freezer (and hoping for more!) I thought maybe we could share some of our favorites here. One of mine is potatoes and onions quartered, baby carrots whole, a venison roast all covered with water. Bring 'er to a boil and add some Natures Seasoning and a quarter cup of worchester sauce. Cut her back to low and cook in a crock pot all day. Also have a pot of pintos that finish cooking about the same time as the roast with cornbread and some good 'ol southern hot chow chow.

I have made it like beef bourguignon except substitution cubed up venison for the beef. That is really good but I can't resist playing around with recipes so I have 'evolved' it a little. The last time I made it I did it like this: First, the cooking method - I have dug a fire pit in my yard and set up a 'cross beam' pot and grill hanger (made out of saplings) as part of an outdoor, pseudo-pioneer kitchen. For this one, I hung a cast iron pot with a lid over the fire. It should work on the stove top or starting on the stove top and then transferring to the oven, as well. I started out by sauteing some thinly sliced onion (about one, whole medium to large onion depending on how well you like onion) and about three cloves of garlic, finely minced, in vegetable oil. I then added the cubed up venison - just cut it into about the same size as you would for stew, not too small - and browned it. Then I added a can of tomato paste. A lot of folks may not realize that continuing to saute in order to allow the tomato paste to caramelize (it will darken in color) a little really adds flavor and helps the flavors blend so you don't get that 'raw tomato' taste standing apart from everything else (that applies to soups, stews or anything you might use tomato paste in) and really helps to give what Emeril Lagasse calls 'structure' to the whole thing. Now for the best part. Instead of burgundy wine or something similar at this point I added a couple of beers. Ales, lagers or pilsners probably work best although adding a stout would make it a little more like Irish stew, I suppose. If you have a couple of beers that have been around a while and/or that might have gone a little flat - say, maybe you had your growler filled a week and a half ago and haven't drank all of it - this is a good way to use them. Now just let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat is fall-apart tender.

With practice, you'll be simply amazed at the level of accuracy one can achieve with these old pencil barrel M&Ps.

I've bought a bunch of steel for the closet. It fits the "buy it cheap... stack it deep" idea I mostly shoot brass though because I reload and it's easier on my guns. Although. it's interesting to note that the steel Herters HP is the most accurate load in one of my ARs. I can get sub-MOA results at 200yds with it in that gun!

How many takes did they do until they got the results they wanted?

I’m not a hunter either. I own semi-autos and bolts in both calibers. I can’t imagine having to reduce my selection to one rifle, but if I had to it would be my .308 AR. Everything is application driven and the .308 semi-auto does well in almost any application from close in point instinct shooting to 1000 yard shots. (Provided the rifle has the accuracy ability to do that) I have never owned or shot a Saiga, I don’t know if it has the long range accuracy capability or not.

While it is purely entertainment, I think it is interesting to see the AR pass the test that the conventional "wisdom" said it should fail. While I certainly believe that the old thought that AKs are inaccurate is probably B.S. too, this just shows how useless most of the gun store "wisdom" may be.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me broke. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Ditto! May the falling tide lower all ships, haha!

Yeah, I read that story yesterday and thought about how upsetting an experience it would have been. As much as I like little kids seeing one hurt or sick is very difficult for me. I'm really grateful that there are still people who'll do this kind of volunteer work for children.

Really? Like comparing a BB gun to a 22LR. Apples and oranges.

Have you checked the run/start capacitor? Is the electronic control board corroded? Those would be the 2 that you can take the little cover off and at least look at them. The capacitor's bottom should be flat, if it is bulged out its bad. Cheap fix if you do it, not so cheap if a service guy does it. There is a shiney silver sticker on it to tell you what size it is and it must be replaced with one of the same electrical rating. If the control board is corroded and shorted then you can replace that yourself too, one wire at a time because the terminal are labeled. That's a more expensive part. The problem is finding a supply house that sells those things retail to the public.

Wingshooter, you make a great point. Thanks, I believe you gave me just the input I needed. Guess I'll keep the Saiga!

When you pull up to a gas pump, what is your TTP? My buddy and I came up with the following. 1. Assess the environment while driving up. 2. Pick a lighted pump. 3. Identify if cameras are present. 4. Leave minimal space betwen the pump and your vehicle. 5. Leave your drivers door open to create a barrier on your right. 6. Use the pump hose to create a barrier on the left. 7. Pump gas as normal. 8. Observe surroundings throughout. The idea is that someone comming at you for a profit crime will have to get past a barrier and thus give you a signal to their intentions and time. Deal with all interactions in a confident voice.

Like their junk knives. Cheap and yet still overpriced for how crummy they actually are. - OS
