Like the title says, I have a Smith and Wesson Mod 57-1 in .41 Mag. 6 inch barrel. Blued. Very good condition. In box with speed loader. No trades. I need cash. I hate that I even have to sell it. Knox, Blount, Monroe area. $1200 SOLD

No such thing as the perfect pistol , rifle etc. That’s why I have a large safe

IM RELEASING A FEW MORE OF MY SAFE QUEENS! MARLIN 30AS (JM STAMPED) WITH SCOPE

I tried finding the metadata for the publicly available image but it was stripped before publishing. Do not be alarmed, this is very common for photographers to do when exporting from Lightroom/Photoshop. I wouldn't assume that the lack of detailed exposure settings means anything is at food. So, I'll assume that depending on aperture and ISO the shutter speed (the only thing that matters when it comes to blur) was probably 1/250 to 1/1000. So that means the shutter was open for somewhere between 1/250th of a second all the way down to 1/1000th of a second. What a 5.56mm velocity? It depends. Lets say 3000fps, that's feet per second. However, we don't have the shutter open for a full second, we have a mere fraction of that. 1/250 = .004 1/1000 =.001 Proportionally, (assuming that the change of the speed of the bullet is constant and does not slow within the first 1/1000th of a second), we have. 1/3000 = .004/x 12' bullet travel at 1/250 shutter speed 1/3000 =.001/x 3' bullet travel at 1/1000 shutter speed If the shutter speed was half of 1/1000 (it would be 1/2000) you'd have roughly 1.5' of travel. That's approximately what you have in that photo, give or take a foot. So depending on the details, it is entirely possible that the bullet was captured. Newer cameras, depending on mechanical vs. electronic shutter, can shoot a constant 30fps. I think some of the Sony cameras can do maybe twice that with an electronic shutter. It's a sunny day, you have lots of sunlight available. Assuming a decently fast aperture or a heightened ISO, I could completely see myself shooting 1/500 to 1/2000 shutter speed. It's the ex-POTUS, so a press photographer likely "sprays and preys" with his camera in hopes of getting a moneymaker. With my photography background I'm going to claim it is entirely possible he did capture a bullet on that photo. I can setup a GoFundMe if you all want me to test it

This is the direction I’ve come to lean. More and more it is appearing that he was a run of the mill wacko who was looking to go out with a real bang. “school shootings are passé. Now assassinations, those are exciting!”

I will throw my vote in with the Ruger Mark series crowd. Hard to beat overall. Lots of options in that family. Known to be reliable...(as .22lr is...).

She alleges that she was there to glad hand the folks that set up convention security. Somehow the senators got wind of it and set up the ambush. For those of you who missed it:

Well, assuming that it’s all pure coincidence that guy has a hell of a portfolio.

I've owned a six round, 4" barreled, blued GP-100 since the late 1980s and it has been shot a lot over the years. It was bought to replace a S&W 686 (no dash) that I really liked but the factory had screwed the barrel on crooked and it spit a ton of debris out of the barrel cylinder gap. The GP-100 has been very accurate, especially with 140gr XTPs. It is still 'in time' after all these years and high number of rounds put thru it. Trigger pull is smooth and reasonable weight after lots of use, but it was actually pretty good out-of-the-box. Since your goal is lots of shooting and reloads, go for the extra thickness/margin of safety of the six shooter. The 7 shot gun would be preferable if you were going to compete at matches w/it. Since that's not the intended use, the simpler/stronger six shot will serve better. Oh yea, I bought some PACHMAYR® grips all those years ago thinking they'd cushion the recoil more but found I preferred the feel of the factory rubber and wood grips better. Seems like Ruger got those right, at least for my size large-glove hands. I hope you get as much enjoyment from your GP-100 as I've gotten from mine. They are great guns for someone that actually likes to shoot a lot.

Honestly, I never cared for the GP-100. The thing has the ergonomics of a brick. Never felt comfortable in my hands. But that's just me. However, I'm a huge fan of the older "Six" Series DA revolvers and own 3 of them. You have nothing to fear. Rugers are built like a tank. I doubt if you could hurt one if you tried.

I have a gorgeous barely used PRE-LOCK Smith and wesson model 60-9 with about 73 rounds of ammunition. Model 60s aren't seen often nowadays.$$800.00

LWRC M61C AR15. Like new, barely used, on great condition $1200 Can meet in Franklin or Erin.

Yeah, my P-07 came with those parts too. I personally prefer the decocker over the safety so I kept the parts in the box.

I’ve had 3 CZ pistols, P01, P-o7 and a P-09. I kept the P-o9 as I liked it best. As tercel89 said above, it’s a great gun. Full size, but very versatile

With all due respect for @GlockSpock doing the math and lending his photography experience, I would speculate what we saw was not a bullet but ear tissue and blood spatter. The calculations he did make that most likely. I wouldn't think an ear would slow a bullet much. On the other hand, DJT was moving and there is no blur so it may have been high shutter speed. I know you use higher speeds for action shots.

I’ve had a Ruger Mark IV for several years and it’s been great. Volquartsen makes an accurizing kit for it which trigger performance significantly better

Spent the weekend on a birthday getaway with my lovely bride while the kids crashed at Mamaw and Papaws house. We visited Pigeon Forge and stayed in the hotel we honey mooned at 16 years ago. On the way up Friday we stopped by Harveys Pistol and Pawn and for my birthday my wife got the Cosaint COS21 out of layaway that I had. I ran by the range at Buds and pumped 150 rounds through it to make sure it would function and then carried it all weekend. It's riding in a Kusiak American IWB that was built for a 1911, I wet the holster and slowly stretched and reformed it until it fit like a glove. Using a new belt that I picked up at Buds, a Nexbelt Supreme Appendix, and the Spyderco Ronin 2 was a $40 flea market find this morning. So this vacation has been one that added a lot of options to my edc. Enough of my blabbing, here's the new setup.

Sharp looking in more than one way-

I have seen pistol bullets (or their “trace”) fired from handguns numerous times and they appear to be several feet long. It’s usually a .45 shooting into sunlight early and standing near, but not directly behind the shooter. A 9 or.45 has three or four times the bullet going 1/3 the speed, so it shows up a lot better than a 5.56 would. No idea how long the image is actually there for the brain to process.

Well, frankly that math I posted is something I think is on par with 4th or 5th grade. It’s been a while, it’s 6th at the latest.

I think he lives in Chattanooga, he sells stuff on here, last thing I seen was a tripod for a 240b. He sold me my first can at HG. and his buddy has an H1

That’s scary, but does not surprise me. If a shooter is in any way a martyr for the cause of gun control, shooting politicians instead of children may have a bigger effect on policy.

Nice looking holster

YOU NEVER CALL A SARGENT "SIR" !!! That is the quickest way to toothbrush a bathroom........

Great comedian. I remember the old phone call sketches. Hilarious!

That one probably went over some heads

It was mentioned the potential assassin had photos and scheduled appearances of both Trump and Biden. Maybe the attempt on Trump was a matter of convenience. Just speculation on my part.

I just rewatched and caught the part about them seeing Crooks with rangefinder 42 mins before the shooting and SS spotted him on the roof 20 mins before the shooting. Jeez, folks wonder how conspiracy theories start, that's how, right there.

I know the owner of the shop and he just opened the cardboard box to show me. I never asked him because I don't care for Sig firearms , plus I didn't want to put him on the spot in front of his other customers who had gathered around us starring at it.

I work for the 160th Special Operations Regiment, currently their Fuel Manager, but also help with ordering gear for the troops, colocated with the issue section.

He as also good as Professor Proton on The Big Bang Theory.

He was definitely funny. Always liked Larry, Darrel, and Darrel.

I always enjoyed his comedy. Clean and funny. RIP

Seems like I might have touched a nerve there. That ain’t him, but you wouldn’t know that. I do. I find his views based on his experiences of value to consider, or I wouldn’t have shared them. Folks can do with them what they will. It’s ok that one may be put off by an assertion that so directly contradicts the accepted narratives surrounding the SS. I mean, 20-30 years ago who would’ve imagined the FBI having the reputation that they have developed?

Just saw Dan Bongino saying much the same as I did about the counter-snipers and the overall failure of the SS. I had forgotten that the SS director was a female. DEI appears to have been in play here. Am I bad for thinking that?

Another thing I find odd or negligent is that a witness saw the shooter maneuvering on the roof and yelled to LEOs and pointed to the roof. In my experiences with these situations, there would have been a SS agent inside the dispatch center or command post that has radio contact with local LEOs. Upon a report like this being radioed in, the agent would have immediately notified the anti-sniper teams.

USSS has some Real explaining to do. A guy with a long gun on an elevated roof 125m from their principal. Something(s) really broke down tonight.

I'm reading some very thoughtless, evil, and incendiary posts here. The usual suspects have started the baiting. I would recommend that the moderators turn this thread off and let things cool down. This stopped being about news about page 3 as near as I can tell; and has been the usual " resident know it alls " against the exasperated and agitated from about page four on. You resident know it alls are doing nothing other than inflaming tensions and doing what they always do --- that is to put on a full show of know it all commenting and baiting, bantering words, and belittling those who don't see things their way. I for one, do not understand why this thread has not been shut down and these usual suspects warned. The truth is that a very high profile public figure has survived an assignation attempt and bystanders are dead and wounded. This also appears to be very stinky to most folks, and I'm one of em... That is the take away and my thought for the evening. leroy...

Stop the bickering. Every single time this man comes onto the forum for “tennessee gun owners”, which he in fact is, there are always several who want to start in with some direct or passive aggressive insults for someone who might not be in line with their personal opinions. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. So many might want to respect that.

Not to play mediator or anything, but i "think" the BLM comment was meant as "people escalating things without fact" and not a direct shot at you for being a black guy. Hug it out fellas. Back to our nations duress.

Nothing comfortable about assassinating presidential candidates and encouraging people to start civil wars.

If it was, it wasn't by anyone who actually wanted him dead i don't think.

This is my thought. How in the world is there an unsecure rooftop ANYWHERE near this event? This is a MAJOR screw up

People who want a new civil war to kick off are morons looking for an excuse to larp around town in their gear and possibly shoot someone. Let's see how you feel when it's your neighborhood and family getting shot up. I swear...
