Wow! Back when I bought my 12ga 500 I paid a whopping $186 NIB. Either I'm getting really old or something's wrong with gun prices these days. I've got a matching 20ga (500A?) that I won in a raffle ... cost me two $1 tickets. Back OT: While I'm not a lefty, I prefer the action of the 870s to...

Shotguns will always have a place in my arsenal. I've got two Mossbergs (12 & 20) and recently bought my first 870 (20ga. express). IMHO, the 870 is better quality by far. The ability to reconfigure a pump shotgun for different uses: HD, upland bird, turkey, deer, etc. with usually just a barrel...

:D Now that there's funny! LOL Jack

I keep an Otis "Kit 'n Kaboodle" in my range bag along with a FO bore light and an AA mag light. The kit goes on my belt if I'm in the field shooting or hunting. They're handy little kits to have around and they work on everything from .22 cal to 12 gauge. Jack

.22 lr .38 spl 9mm Para .45 acp .223/5.56 Nato 30-30 20 ga. 12 ga. Layaways and future plans will add: .22 short & long .44 spl/mag So ... 8 current calibers (9 planned) and err, 10 current guns (15 planned). Not too hard to keep track of and all fairly easy to find ammo for. My needs are...

"I'm sorry officer, with all the drugs I took I just plain forgot I had my gun on." :what: - Followed by: "Jail? What jail?"

All beautiful guns. A 6" Python is on my list of guns to get soon. I had a stainless 4" Anaconda for years but was forced to sell it off during some hard times ... I still cry at night. :( My top three gotta have guns are all Colts: 6" Python (blue or stainless, I ain't picky! ;)) Mint...

"More 'in case of Obama' than Heller...." That's exactly why I bought my AR. Took me 8 months to pay it off but I got in under the wire. I haven't even shot it yet but at least I know I've got one. Now I really want a Sabre Defence upper in 6.8 SPC to go with it. I still might pick up a...

Beautiful work!

So, did you pick up the new Bear today? Bet you're still grinning like an idiot, aren't you? I know I was when I got my Nighthawk. Feels good to own one of the best 1911s made, doesn't it? ;) Can't wait for your pics and initial range report. Jack

I just put a Colt Commander on layaway yesterday, does that count? I've got some minor tweaks in mind for this one and then it'll be my new carry gun. Thinking I'll bobtail it and set it up as close to my NHC T3 as possible: Straight Eights, crowned barrel, 3.5 - 4 lb trigger, etc. Jack

Colt does not use the Kimber safety system ("schwartz"), they do produce series 80 guns, Springfield uses extra power FP springs and Ti firing pins as their safety measures. There's nothing wrong with series 80 guns, they're just as reliable as series 70s and the trigger pull can be just as...

Not the greatest day at the range but at least I finally got there: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=362716 Jack

I was finally able to get my new Nighthawk T3 to the range this morning. I was a little pressed for time as I had plans for a late lunch with my folks, so I didn't get to put quite as many rounds through it as I otherwise would've. I also had to adjust the new sights on my G19 and run the...

That's a beauty. I've always had a soft spot for Colts anyway, they fit my grip and shooting style better than most other makers I've tried. Good luck with the 'smith's mods, hopefully you'll be trouble free and carrying soon. Jack
