Thanks for the comments. I got lost in other things, and forgot to come back...but I guess that's ok, the drive would have been difficult for me to make a deal on this one.

Interesting. Thought about the EZ models for my wife. How would you rate the 380 vs the 9mm in the Shield. I have a Beretta 84(?) in 380 that she hates. Says it hurts her hand. She also doesn't like my Shield 9.

Looks like me trying to get out of mother-in-law's car this morning. She has one of the small Lincoln sedans. Those built for 5ft ,100lb midgets. Not for 6'2'' and 265 lb old men.

Had about half of those pictured. I joined, fulfilled the obligation, cancelled, then joined again so many times I lost track. But I had lots of LPs for a while.

Yes. Simply Yes. I was laughed at when I bought my fist one. The low price alone talked me into it. That's been 6/7(?) years ago and I own several now. Not getting laughed off the range(when I last went anyway) for my guns...just my shooting skills. Last Tisas/SDS I bought was a SS 5" model. It's the tightest 1911 I have ever seen.

Congrats! Very nice revolvers! Got an old beat up one that is envious of yours.

Yeah...gone like the wind. Dang it.

Horrible old rifle. Just ppass it along to me and I'll clean and fondle it likt it deserves! LOL! Great find!

Oh My Stars and Garters!!! Love it! Wife would shoot me!

Sub Dr. Pepper for the coffee and I'd love it! Love cars. Old, new, modified, restomods, classic hot rods, and the occassional vette! Can't buy, but love to sit and watch them go by.

I have 2 that I would gladly turn in for 75 cash each! Total junk...old H&R 22 and a 92FS clone in 22. Actually would like to attend a buy-back and watch how it's conducted.

Interested. What chest size will this accomodate? Being 6 ft plus and long from shoulder to waist, is there enough length/adjustment for belt hookup?

Sweet shooter. I have it's older brother. No optics cut on mine. smg01...I need to get myself together and send you some pics of mags and pouch I found. See if I came close on the ID and if it might be of interest to you.

Sorry I wasn't around for this. i have a weakness for Smith's and 22's.

Nice. Tempting. Glad I'm not closer. lol Still holding out for the SA-35 though...unless a fit of weakness overtakes me!

Thank you...one and all. I'll try to get around to individual replies soon. This funk, this cloudy haze that's following just doesn't seem to want to lift. Wifey, who knows all the problems; wants me to see about an anti-depressant. I know she means well; but absolutely am NOT going there. Seen too much of that and it's not for me. I'll survive. I'm too damn stubborn and too much of an old fat southern redneck not to. Just doing it slowly. Waiting for On Target to open in Hermitage. Maybe the smell of gunpowder will wake me up. A static range is about all I could handle no. Even then, my balance stinks and I just can't stand still for long, and not sure any range would let me sit and shoot except for maybe sighting in a weapon. So disappointed about the Glockstore. That 270 range just doesn't work for me. Barely mobile and definitely not able to perform on that range. Nothing really against them, it just doesn't work for me. might check into the TWRA range before it gets too cold for me.

I'm with you...but goe a bit further back than that. Seriously, I don't think I've worn a watch since the Mid-to late 1970s. Always hated the feel of it on my skin. Just a pecularity of mine. Same can be said for rings. I like them, just can't wear them. Wife took my wedding ring and had it fitted for her. Says if I can't wear it...someday I might just regret it. Still waiting.

Still have the inserts in them?

Yes. That just might be so. LOL! I have an old, beat up Security Six. Looks like crap. Shoots great and locks up tight. Don't expect to ever let it go. Not what you asked about initially buddy...but for just plain old revolver fun, try a Ruger New Model Vaquero. Any caliber. They are great! I got one a few years ago in 45acp. It's a blast! Pun intended. Just tiring having to reload so often.

Winner!!

Ran across this again and just wanted to apologize again for wasting your time on the Stoeger. As I said in a PM, my buddy was all hot to get one until I found this. Gave him all the info and he cooled off quickly. Went and bought a higher grade Stoger. Told me he was afraid to buy "used." I will not try to do this again. That's twice he's made me look like an idiot here. I hope you sold it. Or kept it. Whichever you decided to do.

Didn't sound too bad, seems to put in the Freedom Munitions catagory for me. However, for the cost "savings," as long as possible, I'll stick with my standby ammo...Sellier&Belloit, Blazer Brass, and even Prvi Partisan.

I bought extra mags when I purchased the pistol. Same 17 rounders. Past that, I think it just gets too heavy for my taste. You might try Greg Cote Supply. A small outfit, be he has been know to get some hard to find magazines.

I would be happy to offer my opinions, but sadly have not acquired a Masada. I had it on a wandt/need list, but just never bought one.

Well, after an abscence, I'm slowing showing my hand, as it were, here again. Not that more than a few old geezers like myself noticed or wondered where I'd gone. Had some things happen this year that have altered my thoughts, perceptions, and actions. Seems to really have changed my outlook on most things that had been "normal" for me for quite some time. I realize we've all had changes because of Covid 19 and all the insanity that came with it. My very simple life wasn't really affected that much by it. Pretty much was a stay-at-home sort anyway. However, other things crept in afterwards, and caused me to withdraw from about everything around me. Not really wanting, or ready to talk about them; just suffice it to say that I've made a lot of changes this year. Some good, some bad, but all necessary for life to continue. Don't know if I'll ever get back to the easygoing smartass I've been, but going to try and rejoin my friends here. If you'll allow me. See quite a few new handles, so not sure how it will all go; but I'm going to try. I want thank those who checked in on me. It was greatly appreciated. Good to know that I was known and remembered. I just hope I wasn't too much of a jerk when you did try and contact me. Thanks for reaching out. I think I needed that. Don't think I'll ever return to virtually living here as I once did, but hope to keep in contact with the forum and my friends here. Larry/aka hipower
