With one exception, none of my handguns have any "enhancements" on them. That exception is a green laser on a .22 Magnum pistol. With two exceptions, ALL of my rifles are scoped. I need the scopes as I wear glasses due to bad "near-sightedness".

Mosin - the car I'm driving is an Elantra, one of those that are supposedly so easily stolen with the USB plug. Hyundai addes additional software to "enhance" the security BUT you must use the fob to activate that software. As my car sits in an open carport, when I'm done with the car for the...

Tark - what about .38 Long colt ammo? Can it be shot out of a .38 Sp as well as a .357? And correct me if I'm wrong about the OP's question - can almost any .32 cal. load be shot out a .327 gun (.32 ACP, etc.)?

I understand your frustration Tark. The Springfield store is about 100 miles from me and, if I had known, I would have looked them over when I was in Springfield last week for the IGOLD rally. This area had a Gander Mt. about 10 years ago but it has been gone for about 7 years now. About a...

Speaking of cocking a revolver, as my Mother aged, she had problems with the DA trigger on her SP-101 in .38 Special. I took it to a gunsmith and, with his guidance (he wouldn't do the work - liability concerns), he talked me through taking the handgrips off to access the coil spring. He had...

I "feel" your pain as I'm already there, almost 20 years ahead of you. Osteo on both sides of the family and rheumatoid on one. I place my palms on a table yet the first two fingers of both hands can't be made to lie flat. Index fingers of both are "twisted" in the last section about 25-30...

Two rifles and a 12 gauge have flashlights on them. A .22 Mag pistol has a laser but no light. I like to make sure of my target(s).

The nearest store is over 90 miles away in Springfield, IL. The next stores are in either Iowa (Coralville ?) or Overland Par, KS.

Unlike .308, I didn't come from a "hunting family". But I played with the old cap guns with the rolls inside and red plastic "rubber band" guns that could fire 4+ times and looked like a 1911. We never had a BB or pellet gun but my Dad taught me to shoot the M1 he kept when he left the...

Phaedrus - there have only been 2 guns that got away from me in the last 49 years. The first was a Ruger .22LR SA pistol with the round receiver and a ~7" barrel. I didn't have the funds for the larger pistol I wanted so I traded that for an Astra Constable in .380. I still have the Astra. The...

Using an older Stevens 311 with double triggers, IC choke in the left barrel with a 3" #4 Buck (40 pellets, .25" dia.) and the right barrel with a Skeet 1 choke and a 3" OO Buck (15 pellets) produces a "cloud" about 2" vertical and 3" horizontal at 10 feet. That still makes a wound cavity...

Being a "top break" precludes the possibility of a second cylinder for .22 Magnum. This is why I have a Ruger Single Six with the 6" barrel that I bought about 25 years ago. It is single action only but very accurate even with "bulk" ammo. I shot a squirrel through the neck at 10 yds. many...

Not unlike Gov. Jabba of ILL-ANNOY. :barf:

Another advantage of a shotgun over a rifle or pistol is that the "cloud" of pellets is more forgiving of poor aiming which can be a factor at night. Also, the area of damage is greater than a single solid projectile. Think about that - one .38 cal slug (0.355-.358") vs. 12-15 pellets that are...

Speaking of dates in April, for those interested, there is a planned march on the ILL-ANNOY capitol for the Illinois Gun Owner's Lobby Day aka IGOLD ON Thursday, the 18th. Activities start at the Prairie State Convention Center about 10 a.m., followed by a march through city streets to the...

And some people (like me) don't have dogs (anymore) because of their own mobility problems that makes it difficult to properly walk, train, and "play" with a dog, esp. a larger one. After having had dogs for 30 years, I have been "dog-less" for 14 years. The first 8 or 9 as I still hadn't...

Armoredman - because of the rifling in the Judge, I would be inclined to use shot of at least 7 1/2 or larger. And limit your distances to 25' or less. At 25', you won't get many hits with #6 shot but they will still be effective. With 7 1/2 shot, I wouldn't risk it past 20'as penetration...

Damn !! That makes me think of the old stories of the "Ned Buntline Specials" ! And NO, I would not get rid of it either !!

In a 7 room house of less than 1,500 sq. ft., there is a hidden hand gun in the two most frequented rooms. The rest are in the master bedroom. And all are fully loaded. Don't chide me - no wife (anymore) and no kids so "no problemo". :evil:

That's "assault" and possibly "battery" as well.
