Snob shooters make it harder on all of us. I've been looked down upon for my choice of cheap targets - massively not fun. [/just joking here]

I feel that invasive and/or destructive pests are one thing. Shooting at animals that happen to be there (small birds, etc.) in the name of a reactive target is quite another. Also agree that plant life is valuable and to be respected. I don't go around breaking limbs and branches and...

Hey - maybe not a whole heck of a lot !! Got any more pedantic one-liners?

Nothing wrong with carrying a reload or more if you want. If things feel extra squirrely and the world seems super-scary, sometimes I'll carry that LCP along with. I think I can bring a ready-to-go micro .380 to bear at least as fast as I could reload most anything else. Fortunately 99% of...

Count me in the "nothing special; I use it if a little thin" camp. It is cheap and it comes in handy small sizes that are good for travel and shooting bags.

Glass, for reasons mentioned. It will be a problem for someone/something, if not you. On the rare occasions I do shoot glass, I usually nest it inside some kind of box or container. That way the glass shards get contained and easier to clean. You can still kind of "hear" a hit. I also don't...

It varies and I can't give you a specific "favorite" at this point. It was a lot easier when I just had one or two. Some days it's something as humble and simple as a broken-in Model 10.

I do want to say that if you want to subscribe to the "what's on the barrel" philosophy, it is a valid approach that you won't go wrong with. There isn't a manufacturer around nowadays that would tell you much otherwise. That being said, it is ignoring perfectly good information to not...

Would you take a thousand of my smiling faces for a free gun from the local Honey Hole™? 🤔 Here's one to start... :)

You really might as well get a finder's fee for all this.

What you do with your .357s is not the end-all and be-all of what you can shoot out of a .357. A body might like to know they can shoot .38 Special out of their .357 if they wanted to. You didn't know either until somebody told you. What doesn't really count for you as far .22 doesn't mean...

All shootouts occur at High Noon. Right in the center of town. With half the dusty town as witnesses...

Except if you do this - you miss out on .38 Special out of .357 Magnum. Or shorts out of a .22 revolver. Or some other well-known and actually useful exceptions (.32 caliber, etc). Which is why this always comes up, and rightfully so. IMHO, a sticky thread somewhere outlining the...

Given those circumstances, sure I would make that trade. Already have a bunch of ammo, and already have a .308 you actually shoot. I can appreciate the 7.62x39 ammo for what it is, and not be too hung up on .308 being a better (hunting) cartridge. I think that is what would stick in the craw...

True AR500 will laugh at most handgun calibers. Especially the 1/2-inch stuff. Fast, high-energy rifle rounds are much tougher on steel. Once they get pockmarked and dimpled, ricochets can become more random and unpredictable. Ideally the the target is allowed to "swing", which helps absorb...

As you get older, steel becomes invaluable for far away handgun or PCC shooting. Being able to just hear a hit rather than walk out to check = no going back (for me). I don't have nice elaborate setups like some posted here, because I want to be able to set up and break down easily. I use a...

Agree that I can do without all the funky Wrangler colors. Also agree that a Single Six is a better gun. You're not going to touch one for ~$200 nowadays, though. Maybe if it's a fixer-upper that needs parts and/or substantial work...

Mine are low on the totem pole haven't seen much use, but I am still fine with them. "Love" is too strong a word... Great trainer or tackle box gun. I am unsure about the long-term durability. But then again I didn't buy it for that. The Super Wrangler by all accounts I have seen is a better...

Good points by @GRIZ22 and @jmorris both. It's the market situation - not the guns themselves. Same gun as it always was... Gun demand is very fickle and different. Milsurps especially have a finite supply. Often not an apples-to-apples comparison; each situation is different. Even between...

I got my cosmetically challenged fixer-upper for about $575, maybe 2 years ago. Had to buy a new ejector rod. Didn't do quite as well as you did, but still worth every red cent.
