I would love to get a 311R. I've had a "Jones" on for one for years. They pop up on Gunbroker every once in a while and go for between $500 and $600.

The S&W 31 belonged to my Father who died in 1975 when I was 12. The S&W I-frame belonged to my maternal Grandmother who died in 1996 at the age of 98. I literally would not take anything for them.

I posted a thread the other day re: my plan to replace the factory adjustable stock on my soon to arrive Ruger SR556C with a fixed A1 stock from Cavalry Arms. Below is the finished product. I bought the AR from my buddies at American Tactical and Pawn in Shelby, NC who also switched out the...

I just ordered an SR556C which should arrive early next week. I've also ordered a Cavalry Arms C1 stock with which I am going to switch out the factory stock because I'm just not a fan of collapsible stocks. Have any of you done this or know someone who installed a fixed stock on any of the...

I took my LCP to the range for the first time on this past Friday. I was quite pleased with it's practical accuracy. I ran the silhouette (which was reduced scale) out to 7 yds and maintained a nice center mass pattern with both aimed fire as well as point shooting. If you still have not made a...

I decided to forgo the M&P .380 and went with an LCP with a chrome slide. I can't wait to shoot it. :D

My issue weapon is an M&P .40 FS and my favorite personal carry weapon is my M&P .40C. Therefore, I too am very interested in the M&P .380. The pictures and videos have me very intrigued. My only concern is the external safety. I hope they will come out with a safety-less (is that a word...

I too have had a "Jones" for a small .380 for a few months and had been looking seriously at the LCP. However, S&W is about to start shipping an M&P .380 Bodyguard which really has me intrigued. See link...

Yet another vote for 3" S&W K frame. In this case my 65-2 which I am taking to the range in a few minutes. :)

I have only one mil surplus firearm so that makes this exercise fairly easy. Here is my 1944 Inland M-1 carbine. It's a sweet shooting (not to mention accurate) little weapon. I wish these battle implements could tell their stories.

Greetings. I picked up my carbine a couple of weeks ago at the C&E Gun Show in Hickory, NC. It is stamped Inland on both the receiver and the barrel along with a date of 1-44. The serial # prefix is 493. The stock is from an M-2. The below picture shows the result of my first trip to the...

Lone_Gunman, The target is 18 X 12 and discounting the "fly away" at the top left it's about a 3" (25 rounds). I know there's room for improvement but it's the first time I had shot the gun. :D :neener: :rolleyes:

arizona98tj the distance was 25 yards (max distance at the indoor range). BTW, nice TJ site. I own a 2005 TJ, Rocky Mountain Edition. ;)

Greetings. I picked up my M-1 carbine two Saturdays ago at the C&E Gun Show in Hickory, NC. It's an Inland with a serial # of 493xxxx on the receiver and a date of 1-44 on the barrel which is also stamped Inland. The stock is from an M-2. I haven't shot it yet but intend on correcting that later...
