MCGunner and I have the same setup. My Taurus are solid. I owned a S&W629 for years and the trigger was crap and I couldn't get it to shoot well. I picked up a used M66 and it is awesome. I tend to shoot metal plates at the range double action. I have also had my M85 for over a decade. No...

I have the Benjamin from Cabelas (Crossman made?). Also a hand pump, 22cal. It is a big pistol with lots of power relatively speaking. Very nice gun for $129, now $149. However, I mostly use a cheap $29 Crossman rifle that is propped up my my garage. Squirrels in the woods are fine until...

The Man Standing - great 1911 action. And We Were Soldiers - Sam Elliot's character again with the 1911 was awesome. I got a Kimber Compact. Also Band of Brothers series was responsible for another 1911 and an M1 Carbine and a M98-K.

I have had my M85UL for 8yrs(?) and my M66 for 2. Both have been good guns. I have the M85UL for daily carry. The M66 is my nightstand gun and scouting gun. I think for the most part Taurus revolvers are a good bargain.

Mine changes often. I shoot my 1911's the best but I usually have my Taurus 66, 7shot 357. No fumbling around - always ready to go. And I carry a Taurus M85UL in 38spcl.

I got a CMP Inland and it is great fun. I would look into one of these vs. a new one.

I have a Ruger #1 that has only been shot with hand loads. It will thump you. I've shot thousands of 12g and many were 3" duck hunting loads. Between clays and dove I can go through 200 shells in a day. I made up a batch of 405g 45/70 over a heavy load and it was rude. Very rude - my buddy...

I'd take one in a heartbeat! I just got back from the club after sending a 100 rounds out of my Inland M1. On the way home I was wondering why there weren't more guns offered for this cartridge. With soft points, these 110g pills would be an awesome close range gun. Your talking roughly...

I have a M85UL and it is my primary small gun. If I were to add a SP101 if would be a 3" barreled gun that I would carry on the trail. I voted for a RAMI, as I think thinner is better for a CCW and I find I shoot semi's better when shooting quickly.

I have my grandfather's H&R 922. A neat gun and though I know it isn't worth much, it is invaluable to me. I need some advise on the operation. I have to remove the cylinder to unload. When removing the cylinder should I pull the hammer back to the first catch (is this half cocked?). Also...

I have Colt M1908, aka the Colt Vest Pocket. It was purchased new by my Grandfather. My father left it to me when he passed. It is a neat little fire arm. I am looking for a couple mags to save the original. I see the Mec-Gar makes mags for the Baby Browning, will they work in the Colt...

I built a sturdy shelf, roughly h4xw4xd2, it is way too small. PAShooter's setup is awesome. I am going to get some stencils and yellow paint for my ammo cans.

Thinking about an AR, nothing special, one of the bargain bin CMMG's. Coworker bought one and I am impressed. Question I have a choice between chrome lined 1/7 rifling and un-chromed lined 1/9. The chrome 1/7 is $50 more. Which would you choose? Thanks, tjg

I have a 4" Taurus Model 66, a 7shot 357. It is paired with a snubby and soon a Marlin 1894C. Primary load will be 38spcl.

I had a Romanian SAR1. It was fine. Then I bought a Yugo SKS. It was better. I kept the Yugo as I find it more fun to shoot. I don't go to public ranges and unload as fast as I can. I also liked the milled steel and just overall fit and finish. Shot it this weekend along with my latest...
