While I am primarily a collector of S&W revolvers. I do like Colt's too. I stumbled across this one at Bass Pro of all places. Hemmed and hawed over it for three days, but in the end I couldn't resist the temptation. Probably paid to much, but I'll let my heirs worry about that. Colt Police Positive 4th Issue. 1979 This is my seventh Colt revolver. here's the whole herd.

DJTC45: I'd say your off to a pretty good start there.

I'm in. L BTW: mechanics gloves make excellent shooting gloves.

There you have it. ATF's job is to enforce the laws as written. But they keep interpreting and changing the laws as they see fit to suit their own purposes. I'm not a big suppressor guy. I do own a .22 suppressor, but honestly very rarely use it. However, I fully support those that are into them.

You easterners may be attracting Californians and other west coasters. Memphis seems to attract transplants from Chicago and Detroit.

Quit pickin on the guy. He's not real internet savy, but he is honest. I bought the Single Six and Beretta. Made the deal and exchanged info via IM and phone. He showed up on time, was friendly and all went very well. What more do you want? He posted the list and prices. If you're interested, just contact him and work out the details.

The simple answer is just don't do it.

I saw that story. Apparently he has been slipping for some time. Another nut job that nobody did anything about.

Back in 2001 I went to visit friends in Missouri for a few days. At that time they didn't have CCW, but open carry was legal. So I open carried while I was there. To their credit, nobody said anything. However, everywhere I went people looked, even stared. Every time we went somewhere, I was gettin' the hard eyeball. Frankly, it made me uncomfortable. I have no desire to do that again.

Its called common courtesy. No reason to alarm otherwise good people just because you want to show off and be the center of attention.

Most people believe that. But the truth is that an EMP will melt the ignition coil.

i'd say yes. But the established members are a very tight group. Newcomers aren't exactly welcome. I generally only go over there when I have a question. I usually do get the correct answer, but its like pulling teeth.

Yes. I'm a member of the Walther Forum, but rarely visit it. The folks over there have a very different and somewhat unique dynamic.

"This Glock 19 might win over the die-hard 1911 types" Not hardly, Bubba.

Another vote not to refinish. Bear in mind when that rifle was made and the .22 ammo available then. I think it may be jamming due to ammo that's cycling the action too fast. Try some standard velocity ammo in it. CCI Standard Velocity is the benchmark in this class of ammo. If that doesn't work, try replacing the recoil spring. I just checked and Wolff does make a spring for this model. $8.49.

I would be interested in several of the .22 rifles and handguns. Please post a list with prices. I'm specifically looking for a SAA type .22.

John, I kinda surprised at that. I've dealt with Wather customer service at Ft. Smith twice. Both times they were very helpful and really fast. Covid maybe?

AH! The good old days!

Don't feel so bad. I once answered a question with info that I know to be true. But he went out of his way to correct me with wrong info. Didn't he mention once that he was a former gun shop clerk? Well, there ya have it.

I found that Bob wasn't nearly as knowledgeable as he thought he was. While he was familiar with many different models, he was sorely lacking in specifics. I caught a number of his mistakes, but let it go because he seemed like a grumpy guy who wouldn't take it well. Just didn't need the hassle.
