I had a '68 sold it in Pa. at a gun show in no more than 15 minutes. It had the original Colt scope, 2 Colt 20 round mags. The original case, cleaning kit and instruction booklet for $1200 cash. If that helps.

Recently bought a P225, used of course, and I LOVE IT! In one day it became my favorite Sig. For concealed carry, if you need more than 8 rounds to get out of a problem, you are in big trouble.

If you have the stomach to view this link, it graphically illustrates a man shot 17 times with .223 and .40 cal. S&W gold dot and kept firing back. Perhaps this will enlighten us that it is shot placement and to a lesser degree penetration, that plays the roll in actual shooting situations. I...

Saw a nice one the other day: "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition."

Mine is close to flawless. Gotta use the min mags though. Junk ammo makes her very angry. Early models had problems. later ones were fixed from what i read.

I'm still laughing at "booger hook"!

Update: I called the woman, turns out it is a Beretta 686 Silver Essential. Never fired. I Know, I know, that's not even close to what I posted but that's what I got from the woman. I'm sorry about that "It was a silver something"...:banghead:

My friend just lost her husband and wants to sell his shotgun. I haven't seen it but she says it is a Beretta under and over "Siver Star" special edition 1992.Never fired. If she is correct, ( I can't find one) anybody know what it would be worth?

Buy a Maculek and mount it vertically. As long as you're not shooting prone you should make your neighbors happy.

I don't know how big your house is but for self defense, if you shoot someone with a 55 grain bullet traveling a 3000 feet per second you are going to kill him! Twist rate; soft point; isn't going to matter. The wound cavity from that shot is huge. Search this forum for .223 wound pictures and...

Rshooter, it looks like the Eric Rudolph professional model 96

I have a 4" 1969 Python with factory nickel finish. I guess it was an old LEO wheeler as a lot of the finish is worn off on the holstering side of the barrel and cylinder. Sooo, I want to have it refinished. If I do it in blue, i have a local gunsmith who does beautiful work. If I want it...

Cabela's has PMC in stock. If that helps 300 rounds for $105 bucks http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0070186217117a&_requestid=143478

I have 2 RRA AR's a 16 and 20 inch. Both are perfect. Hard to beat the quality. Triggers are good. I would be REAL careful about over penetration if using it for home defense. A bullet travelling at 3,000 ft per second doesn't want to slow down just because it hit a zombie and then some sheet rock.

I would just like to add a few more points on the the replies to my original thread. Reloader Fred is correct. I should have done more homework on Springfield's company before I bought the gun, if I was so concerned as to where it was manufactured. That was not the point. It was more about...
