    Tell me why I should or should not buy a S&W 6946..... please.

    So then, here's the deal. Very good condition. Lots of magazines. Can't tell whether or not it is a Police trade-in. Price is essentially immaterial on this particular transaction. What other guns may be better or worse is also immaterial to my looking at this one. I'd really like input on...

    So now, you have a 4" 629 and a 6" 629 and.....

    you are inclined to loan one to your brother for a rather indefinite amount of time.... you know how brothers can be. Which one do you let the short-sighted, caught flat-footed, didn't get his own-damn-gun in time bum borrow? I'm leaning towards keeping the 4" as in-hand and relegate the 6" to...

    A surprised new owner of a Kimber Micro-9.

    ...of the different rounds would cause a stumble. Accuracy was well beyond expectations. Recoil is barely worth talking about. I've shot much worse *Makarovs* and a couple worse .380s as well. Operation is wonderfully thought out. NOTE ON THE HALF-COCK WITH SAFETY IN SAFE POSITION REMOVED...

    Another *extreme cheap* purchase over-returns on investment.

    ...- the awl of a pocket knife. And that grip..... Like it was made for me personally. Instinctively points out like my own prime-poker. Best three *Jacksons* I've spent lately. Likely to cause my previously favored H&R to stay home a time or two. Please throw up your *cheapo* that you're...

    Me; A S&W 469 -- You; A Second Gen compact magazine. I think we'd be a perfect fit!

    So, here's the deal. This 469 is feeling decidedly unfulfilled. All it would take is one good magazine... - maybe two - to complete her. She's not fussy about looks or color but is intent upon a lasting relationship based upon capacity and quality up-bringing. Can anyone help her out with a...

    A question about a couple *pro-gun* e-mails that I receive.

    ...me to be getting these but am wondering about the legitimacy of the outfits. Generally, with these types of things, I don't even like to actively *un-subscribe* as that action is also an indicator that the email is valid. So, what say y'all.... are these real pro-gun outfits or just more...

    Barn burner of a Phoenix gun show!

    ...The show was entirely out doors in exceptional weather. This is a good-bad/covidiocy scenario. It had to be outside to accommodate an informal *distancing* but masks were not mandated. So, the spacing between the tables was huge. I found the crowd to be the single nicest, friendliest and...

    Traded into a Kimber Micro 9. What next?

    ...debating my decision to not carry either of the same. Comments are welcome for the informing of others but I'll not address the issue further. So, *leather* only please. I have been supremely happy for more than 20 years with my South African PPK holster from El Paso Leather and have an...

    Help to find Unertl scope cap?.... Buehler?..... Anyone?

    Already tried for a week in accessories. I recognize that there's more traffic here in rifles so I assume the powers will not shift this back to accessories. After searching about for some time, I find no-joy in trying to locate an eye-piece, threaded lens cover. If I have to, I'll buy the...

    Help to find Unertl scope cap?.... Buehler?..... Anyone?

    After searching about for some time, I find no-joy in trying to locate an eye-piece, threaded lens cover. If I have to, I'll buy the front and rear set though I don't need the front. Unertl 1.25", Varmint 12 power. I'll dance at your wedding! OK, what passes for dancing with a lenient...

    Looking for an old thread on a S&W 327 - maybe.

    A fella, some time back, had a thread going on what I think was an S&W 327. He was modifying it as a woods/work carry gun. Seems he spent a lot of time on a quad and had a chest rig for it among other modifications to the pistol. I'd sure appreciate it if someone could clue me in to that old...

    What's the most recent price anyone's seen a Mauser G41(M) sell for?

    I'd like to make a pass at this rifle but see very few archived, realized prices for them. I'm sort of left to come up with a number. Do any of you Mauserweirdos have input as to current value excluding the current gun-price-madness? Please assume the left side is equal to the right. Action's...

    One good knife.... and a folder.

    ...gee-whizzness. So, mocking turned to a sort of game. This, of voting out certain items or classes of items from the outing. One year a fella *outlawed* any stove other than solid-fueled. Another was NO GORETEX, DAMMIT! Still another; no doggone LED of ANYTHING! I personally have called a...

    Trading shotshell primers equitably.....

    I just came into 1,500 shotshell primers at an estate sale but don't load shotshells. A pal has a passel of all primers available for trading. Given the state of things these days, what do most think the exchange rate for them ought to be agains both small pistol and small rifle primers...

    Gotta love a Woman gives you a stabby-cutty-stick for Valentines Day.

    If I have to be drawn into this fake, commercialized holiday, I can revel in the fact that my Gal gives me cool stuff&things. I don't know anything about this Gilbreath outfit but she knew I'd love the shape. Todd.

    Is the S&W Performance Center still up?

    I looked at the S&W site today to finally get a revolver in for a procedure and can't for the life of me find anything about the Performance Center other than pre-existing PC guns that are available. I don't care to get into what I want done as that will lead to distractions from the base...

    Taking advantage of advantages. FN 1900; A curious relic.

    ...Also, I am a huge, unrepentant fan of .32ACP as it's done so right by me in the past. Then, there are the interesting design touches like the *Your gun's not cocked, DUMMY!" flag forward of the rear sight in the third photo. Weird to be sure but cute. Next, near and dear to my heart - it...

    "To the very best of wives!"A Rodgers & Randall dagger stagger.

    ...gifts until well-away from my birthday in a nod to cyber-security. It seems now to be a good time to boast about that gal who keeps me from being *that guy*.:evil: A benefit all of society shares in, I can assure you.;) Among a passel of other gifts for my last birthday were these. A...

    Shooting alone in the desert, woods, wherever.

    Aside from the obvious responses (please try to not be obvious) regarding the safety, responsibility or intelligence of shooting by one's self on public land - I thought it would be worthwhile to post this up should it be news to anyone else. In was talking to an L.E. type this week about...
