    what firearm have your parents/grandparents passed down to you

    Browning A5 light, serial number in the 66,000 range so don't know date of manufacture. Was a field gun, so not perfect shape, but nice. Has freckles from rust :( Remington 550 date 1941. Lots of finish wear and specling, but still fun gun :) I will get more as time goes along, but hope I get...

    Best Deal Ever

    Nothing great, but got a mid 70's stainless ruger single six for $200 in great shape about seven years ago. No magnum cylinder though.

    impulse buy: Mec 600 jr

    He, he, he...... just did that. Twelve pounds of it :D They did have a shotgun for $40, but I never seen it. They told me it sold earlier :(

    impulse buy: Mec 600 jr

    I was hunting the garage sales today, and came across a Mec 600 jr for sale. Looked at it, decided I would never use it, then made the mistake of going back later with the wife. She said go for it, and I did. I got the reloader, manual, sever older reloading manuals (late 60's, early 70's?)...

    Choosing a cheap gun...not by choice...

    I have the Bersa Thunder 9mm, and it would be too big to conceal carry for me, but nice otherwise :) I also have the S&W Sigma in 9mm, too big to conceal carry also. I really think the kel-tec and Ruger LCP would be top choices for conceal carry, or a taurus snubby. I have (or should say...

    Tanfoglio Witness Match

    So other than the barrel length, what is the difference between the regular witness and match witness?

    Got a real good deal on ammo at cabela's today

    If I did not have 800rds, and enough to reload 2000 rounds, I would be all over the 9mm :D

    EAA Witness 9mm

    I have seen it in the gun library, but can not remember if they had it in the new section. Funny that buds description says integrated accessory rail, but the pic does not show it, that or I need glasses. I want one, doesn't matter caliber as long as it is a metal frame instead of plastic.

    The Official THR Merry Christmas/Holiday Wishes thread!

    Merry Christmas to all! Hope some of you get a chance to listen to Glen Becks "The Christmas Story". Nice to have a chance to listen to the whole thing, as they only skim it in church :scrutiny: Be safe, be good, be merry! :D

    Is this good or bad? I think Bad...

    Just because it is there right does not mean I will say what they are doing is appropriate. Hypothetical example, some young kids decide to to make fun of a disabled elderly person and use rude language to insult them. Freedom of speech is a right, does not mean I will not tell some dipsheet...

    Why the Bling?

    If people view guns as just tools, then do they view cars the same way and drive either a yugo or smart car? I rather drive something nicer looking, and would like to own some guns with some gold accents, or better yet, stainless guns :) . Or why not just buy a hi-point? It goes bang, no gold...

    Open Carry?

    No. I believe we can legally carry in places of businesses that post no guns allowed (as long as not government property), but they can tell you to leave, and those signs are everywhere, so why advertise and be told to leave?

    The last firearm purchase of the year

    You have a good woman there ;) I wish our ACE hardware stores sold guns :( I tend to try and talk myself out of buying "fun" items, but it rarely works :D

    Buying Online or at the Store

    Online seems to be the cheapest, USUALLY, not always. Sometimes stores will have a sale, and it can be hard to beat, even more so when they have deals like $70 off $300 or more :)
