I have found nothing that beats my 8+1 3914DAO. The strikers seem pretty silly in comparison.

The LGS had two guns in this configuration. I went back to check them out again and one gentleman had purchased both of them this morning. It's OK- you win some and you lose some.

The only thing challenging with the PT's is the magazine incompatibility. Otherwise they would be fine.

A 3" .410 with 5 000 pellets is at least 60% as effective as a typical reduced recoil 12 ga tactical load with 8 or 9 00 pellets. That's quite good.

Even as a Late Gen Xer (almost Millennial), I have far more interest in metal frame hammer guns of the 80's and 90's than the NPC polystrikers of today.

Depending on threat matrix and NPE levels, EDC can be anything from an NAA Mini to something in the Makarov/P239/2" K-frame size that fits in the front left pocket of pants I am wearing.

The only fly in the ointment with Ruger Mini-14 factory mags that I have discovered is that a modern 10 rounder fits too tight in my first production run series-180. The 5's and 20's are fine.

I view the 1891 similarly to my 1890 L&L production GEW 88- the production realities were still catching-up to the engineering/design/manufacturing requirements for safely containing the new high-pressure smokeless cartridges. When I shoot my GEW 88 again in the future, it will be with reduced...

Thanks for the insightful responses!

My brother also had a Norinco example back in the mid-80's. He didn't keep it long.

This thread is for 92 aficionados only... LGS has a few 92F (not FS) examples for sale OTC at $325 each. They are made in Italy, served overseas (where???) and were imported here to the US in G to VG condition. Grips have been replaced with some aftermarket checkered wood specials (maybe...

I think you missed the point of this post.

Has anybody bought recent production (since the Vista merger) Remington .30-30 Core-Lokts? If so, did they still have the traditional scallops, or were they just a regular JSP? Thanks!

We have 3.25 acres located on a hillside with uninhibited "open space" behind it. At least until the Colorado Triple-D legislature gets around to restricting it, I can legally shoot anything on my property as long as the projectiles stay inside the notional fence line. We have a small range area...

Similar to the Magpul P-Mags, many of the Brownell's GI-style metal AR mags have a date code, like 2/13 (the ones I keep in my emergency kit).
