Colt Python 357 3” new in box. $1400 cash only Maryville area meet

Biden just released 6 billion in frozen oil money to Iran. I wonder what they spent it on?

I'm betting on the IDF to bring hell on Hamas and their supporters. I hope they do and wipe them out without mercy.

Y’all should take note of this. @OMCHamlin is fully on point here. Let’s all try really hard to remain on topic instead of devolving into petty non-sequitur partisan barbs that add exactly zero to the conversation.

With Biden as Commander-In Chief, he'll drop a bomb on Iceland and send troops in to protect the flow of ice cream.

I have 2 great pistols here, but I will only sell 1. 1) Staccato C2: Comes with Staccato case, tactical sight plate (Dawson Precision), red dot sight plate (Dawson Precision), Holosun 407K red dot, 6 magazines (2/16, 2/17, 2/20). This is a great pistol with minor holster wear and modest round count. This package would cost 3300.00 new and I am selling for 2,700.00. There isn't a lot I can say about the C2 that shooters don't know. New price 2500.00 Not Available any longer. 2) Cosaint Arms COS21: 9mm double stack comes with case, extra grip module (competition style), C&H optics mount plate for Holosun 507C, and one for Holosun 507K. The gun has the Holosun 507K green dot installed. This gun also has the iron sight plate included. It comes with 2 MBX 17 round magazines, one 23 round MBX magazine and 2 Altas gun works 20 round magazines. Currently the gun is set up for carry but changing the grip module gives you a completely different gun. Note: the MBX 17 round magazines will not work on the competition grip module. If you would like information about Cosaint Arms there are a couple interviews on YouTube with the owner, Greg Mooney. He's a good guy and is accessible for technical questions or aftermarket orders. I have right at 3,000.00 in this package and will sell for 2500.00. I am near Columbia and am willing to travel a reasonable distance to meet buyer. New price 2200.00. SOLD

Hello all, I recently joined. Have heard and seen lots of good things in this forum. Glad to be here. Retired military with LEO and medical background. Believer, Hunter, Shooter. Happy to be here. Booms

Frame is aluminum. The gun has a 4.25" Bull barrel, a 2lb 4oz trigger pull and shoots super flat. It's actually a little faster than the Staccato.

If you are fishing for a way to blame a certain admin or another to make a political statement , the US has left military equipment all over the globe for basically ever. It’s cheaper to leave it that bring it back.

If Israel knew it was going to happen, they would have preemptively started cutting throats and laying in wait as they've done before. I hope Israel now destroys Hamas and everyone connected with them. You can't live with the Hamas animals. They're rabid dogs and rapid dogs need putting down.

I'm starting to believe that there is no way that Israeli intelligence missed this. I bet they knew and let it happen.

The US pushed Israel into negotiating peace with Yassir Arafat, a known terrorist. This is what happens when you negotiate with terrorists. We have, or at least had, a policy of non-negotiation but what's good for me is not good for you. Sound familiar? I am not at all surprised, world society will continue to degrade until God says enough.

This will continue until one of the two groups are eliminated. Unfortunately the groups that are pulling the strings will find new groups for a new proxy war if that ever happened. I'd be a shame if the responsible parties had to shoot at one another.

It's amazing how y'all manage to bring Biden into every discussion.

Slick looking rifle!

Esmeralda has some fine grips. A pair will make any 1911 look better.

Who re-chambered it in .308?

Hey gang, just a quick vote of confidence for the seller @Booms225. I know he's new to TGO but he is also a personal friend of mine and is completely squared away. You can have confidence in him as a seller.

A lot of businesses are incentivized from multiple directions to go card only. Think of it like this: a business wants to get its product into the hands of people who want to buy however they can. Taking a card actually costs them more than taking cash - figure about $0.30 per transaction and between 2.5 and 3% of the total purchase price. That’s a lot in most low margin businesses. So, there has to be other stuff at play to make them go with a more expensive way to sell you stuff. As it turns out, cash is a liability for a lot of businesses. If you’ve got a bunch of it onsite, you’re a robbery target. Same for the person taking it to the bank. Likewise, I’ve known plenty of businesses that have gone out of business because someone on the inside was stealing cash. Factor in that an increasingly small portion of transactions are cash - but a thief doesn’t know that - and you’ve still got to send someone to the bank. Your insurance is more expensive if you handle a lot of cash. Any of y’all tried to get an employee to fill out a cash report competently in the last few years? That Square reader does it right every time and imports it straight into your bookkeeping software. Suddenly your managers get hours in their day back. A lot of businesses are deciding it’s better for their business to go card only.

I own over a dozen P320's. I have managed to repeatedly coax several of my pre-fix guns to fire (I loaded them with primer-only brass for testing) just by rapping the beavertail on a rubber mat. Later, Sig announced they had replicated and confirmed the problem. I have since had all my 1st gens updated, and cannot get them to fire on their own. I trust them and carry them in a variety of configurations, provide them for my family, and recommend them (along with others) to my handgun students.

My concerns about digital currency.... they don't have to pass a law to enact gun control they simply refuse to approve gun or ammo purchases. Much easier for them. they can easily ration how much gas, oil, toilet paper, ...whatever that you are permitted to buy each day, week, or month. they can easily add a % of purchase tax to each and every transaction. We all know that tax will start low and get larger and larger every few years. they can much more easily spy on you through your purchases. If they suspect Joe of whatever, now anyone that had lunch with Joe is also a suspect. they can just erase your ability to exist in society. If you protest a bill that they want passed, then suddenly your bank accounts are frozen. If you wear the wrong campaign button, hat, T-Shirt, they your accounts are frozen. your purchase history will never stay secure because the only thing the government is actually good at is consistent incompetence. So, now Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook can also decide that they don't want you as a customer or a user if you bought guns or ammo in the last 90 days. All your accounts could be suspended or under review. Good luck getting a job / contract / vendor slot at a place that adheres to the latest political BS because they may decide not to hire anyone that has bought guns or ammo in the last year. Without digital currency being cancelled is embarrassing and inconvenient. With digital currency being cancelled means your family has no roof over their head and no food to eat.

My only concern is with digital currency, private sales between individuals no longer exist. Not just firearms, but anything I own and want to sell or wish to purchase from you. Will .gov then have the ability to levy sales tax? How about an additional.gov assessed "transaction fee" on top of what the pay platform charges?

This is, of course, true. However, at that time the price of gold was also set by government fiat, due to the declared rates for convertibility of gold to dollars. It's also true that 1933 was the year that ownership of gold by private citizens (other than exceptions for small amounts of jewelry, and some collectible coins) was outlawed in the US. Outstanding gold coins, gold bullion, as well as gold certificates and notes were required to be surrendered to the Treasury and replaced by dollar notes. US citizens were also forbidden to trade in gold elsewhere in the world. In 1934 the federal government repriced gold to $35/oz, partly to better reflect the real market value of the metal, but mostly to allow the Fed to increase the M1 money supply as a means to halt the devastating deflation resulting from the Depression. As such, I'm not sure that using the artificially derived price of gold in 1933 really bolsters your argument ...

It's all about control, they control your money, they control you...

YES! I am very concerned about it. Though I do most of my bill-paying and make most of my purchases digitally, I still want to be able to use cash to buy certain items without fear of Big Brother knowing what I have. If the country were to go to full digital currency, then you and I would be entirely unable to buy a shovel or a hammer, for example, without Uncle Sugar knowing what we bought. I also worry that it would be really easy for someone to decide that I, a retired fellow, only need x number of gallons of gas a month, and simply deny a fuel purchase that I don't "need". Or perhaps someone might decide that I only need to shoot a certain number of rounds a month. I know that's a little bit foil-hat, but I still worry about it. Give government means to power, and it will exploit those means.

I've mentioned before how a touch of arthritis in my right hand makes it difficult for me to shoot the traditional Colt/Ruger style SA revolvers. Simply put, the shape of the plow handle grip causes the back of the trigger guard to beat the holy hell outta my middle finger knuckle. It only takes about one cylinder full to have me bleeding. So, in order to get my Cowboy fix, I've turned to other revolvers common in the old west. According to TV and movies, you'd think that every cowboy in the old west carried a Colt SAA. Not exactly true. The Colts were indeed quite popular, they weren't the only revolvers used by a long shot. For my needs, I've settled on the Remington Model 1875 and the Smith & Wesson Schofield both in .45 Colt caliber. You will note that the grip frame on both guns sits just a little bit further back on the frame that the traditional Colt style. This gives my poor knuckle just enough space to avoid damage. I might also mention that both of these guns originally came with 7-7.5" barrels. I have opted for the more modern 5-5.5" lengths as they just handle better for me. The Remington Model 1875 was their answer to the Colt SAA. Its really just their extremely successful Model 1858 Percussion Cap revolver fitted with a bored through cylinder. Its just a tad bit bigger, beefier and heaver than the Colt, but proved to be very popular in the old west. Many preferred its slightly more "heft". The Remington was known to be favored by Buffalo Bill Cody and outlaw Frank James among others. The big bore S&W break tops were also quite common in the old west. The Number 3 American in .44 S&W was very popular. Colonel George Schofield modified the latch mechanism to make it easier for mounted troops to unload and reload the revolver with one hand. The U.S. Army purchased around 8000 Schofield revolvers for their troops. S&W chambered the Army guns in .45 S&W Schofield caliber as the cylinder was just a bit too short for the standard .45 Colt cartridge. The two cartridges are identical except for length with the colt being just a tad bit longer. Little known fact: to simplify the supply chain, most ammo issued to troops was .45 S&W Schofield as it worked in either the Colt or S&W guns. Most modern reproductions, such as mine, have a slightly longer cylinder and are chambered in the more common .45 Colt caliber. Well, there you have it. Other revolvers popular in the old west. There are others as well such as some of the early DA revolvers. Show 'em if ya got 'em!

Here's an original Remington chambered in 38 rimfire. I've toyed with the idea of trying to adapt a 38 Special cylinder to it, but probably never will. Although it retains virtually no finish, it is tight as a new one. I think the ivory grips are a nice touch as well. They are yellowed from age, but remain undamaged.

I'm not familiar with that brand. But, like the pistol, just about everybody makes them. If you like the style and price, go for it!

All hail the S&W Shield Plus! Or, maybe you'd prefer not to....

Sept 1943, 5-44 barrel, excellent condition, perfect bore, matching #s, strong cartouches on stock. $1200 face to face in franklin.
