Alright, those Mitchell's Mausers ads are gettin' me worked up. I'd like to get a WWI/WWII-era bolt-action. It should cost less than $500. Be in showroom condition. Look good. Operate smoothly and flawlessly. And shoot at least 1.00 MOA. I got my "Military Rifles" pamphlet...

Nick Nolte's 1911 ... w/leather ... from "Extreme Prejudice". :)

Taurus 450 20oz .45colt $400 brand new.

A couple years ago I had a P9 Covert. I could make it jam with a non-strangle-hold grip. After a few hundred rounds, it worked its way up to jamming every round. I sent it to Kahr and they sent it back ... fixed. Back to jamming only when I let up on the grip. I eventually traded it off on...

I've had 5 Kimbers ... I used to buy into the hype. No more! Just kept one ... just 'cause it's so pretty. SW1911 (for $700) has been my BEST single-stack 1911 to date ... excellent quality and reliability. If I ever buy another single-stack, it'll be a STI or SV. Possibly a Wilson ...

My Sig P226 9mm is my favorite pistol. I'm so glad it's 9mm 'cause, for the same money, I can shot it more.:D Part of the reason it's my favorite is 'cause I'm so accurate with it (likely due to the immaculate trigger). It's been that way ever since I bought it. I've long been thinking of...

.357sig, get outta my head!:mad: I've been shooting IPSC for a few years now. I've shot the Glock 34, Glock 20 (.40sw), SA 1911, S&W 1911, and now I'm using a SV (which is a whole 'nother story). I say this 'cause owning a 1911 which works well does not mean that all 1911's are reliable...

I'm curious about that 200gr "maximum". I had a S&W 340 and 360 and both had an engraving on the lug kinda like "no less than 125gr". Seems to me I got into this with someone before as I recall calling S&W and asking about it. The lighter bullets are usually loaded with more powder to move it...

I have no clue ... but I'd like to venture a guess ... :uhoh: Unless I'm mistaken (which I may very well be), the 696 is a .44spl. Most people are quite comfortable shooting .44spl from a .44mag ... sooooo, why buy a .44spl when you can buy a .44mag? Anyhow, I just bought a Taurus .45lc...

left: Ltd-Ed 4" 646 (what's wrong with the grip?:D ) top: 5" 629 middle: 4" 686 bottom: 3" 60 Despte the 646 being a relatively new revolver, only the 60 has the klinton-lock. (that was probably a different deal, but it's just easier for me to blame everything on bubba) Also, all guns...

Majic, I admit I'm not big fan of .41 ... but I'm also no enemy of it. Maybe I accidentally made a good point why no one should ever consider investing in one. But, rather than argue with me about what I should or shouldn't recommend, why not make some good points for the .41 ... if you don't...

Thanks JC! Majic, I agree, if you handload, both .44 and .41 are quite effective on whitetail. And, if you handload, .41 ammo doesn't need to be expensive or hard to find. There was a little more to it than that though. First off, I was trying to say that you don't NEED to go bigger than...

Three things: - My wife has a 642ls (fine for her) and I've had a 337PD, 360, and 340 (note that with extended pocket carry without a holster, when attempting practice, the 340 failed due to lint getting into the works ... make sure you get a pocket-holster) ... I've never been able to hit...

Perhaps too much wango ze tango?;) JC, while I'd be curious as to why CorBon loads .357 lighter than 10mm (presuming they didn't measure velocity of 180gr BCSP from a snub), I'm not a handloader and, as such, ill-equipped to debate such issues in-depth. I only offered my observations. I...

I own 8 Wilson Combat 10rds mags. I've used them in my Springfield and S&W for IPSC. The only problems were due to the mag-holders ... not allowing a smooth draw the top round would get kitty-wompus and, without correction (during a speed-load) would jam the slide. Two things: 1. Get...
