    Who dislikes/hates the Beretta 92FS/M9?

    I have come to really like the 92 series. I recently picked one up, added some LTT goodies and replaced all the plastic parts with metal ones. It is a great shooter and has been 100% reliable so far. To be fair, it worked just fine in the stock configuration. I too was perplexed by the flip up...

    Taurus Police Trade-Ins: If anyone is interested.

    I probably dated myself with that comment but those were some of the threads on the internet back then. I still read them from time to time! They never cease to entertain me.

    17 Hornet rifle questions??

    Years ago, I bought a Ruger 77/17 Hornet and used it on prairie dogs, varmints, and jack rabbits. The rifle was exceptionally accurate and was pleasant to shoot. It does a great job of bridging the gap between the rimfire magnums and something like the .204 or .223. I had the intention of...

    Springfield Saint Victor 9mm

    I am kind of all over the place with my gun wants right now. I am really enjoying aluminum framed 9mms as well as my Ruger PC Carbine. In the 90's, right before the Clinton ban, I was going to buy a Colt 9mm AR. I had it stashed away, but the store where I was working was making a killing on...

    Tell me why I shouldn’t get a Browning BLR in .308.

    I hunted with a family many years ago and I think they all used BLR's. They were nice rifles in the field and more than accurate for deer hunting. The only ones I have shot were in .243. I liked the way they carried and felt, but will agree with others that the trigger is just OK. I would...

    Taurus hit a Grand Slam with this gun.

    Wow! That box and the plastic bag.....I can't begin to tell you how many of those I sold in the 90's. That really is a time capsule. I am no fan of Taurus products in general but of all the PT92'S I sold I don't recall ever getting one back for warranty/repair. They definitely had that model...

    Hammer thong or button strap?

    I am headed to work, so I can't post pics now, but I have had a EPS Three Persons that I have used for the past twenty five years or so. I can tell you from experience that if you are using the holster on horseback or on an ATV you are going to want some type of retention. I prefer the...

    King of modern defense revolvers: S&W 686+

    I love the 686 but have not shot the + version yet. The Ruger is heavier thing gets some times over played. The Smith 686+ 4" weighs 39.2 ounces and the Ruger GP100 4" is 40 ounces. They are both great revolves!

    Burro Defense Gun

    Just an update...I was able to survive but we were besieged by burro constantly.... However it seems like the locals seem to think they are pretty smart creatures. We also saw Chukar, quail, doves, road runners, and a ton of reptiles. The burros were all well behaved in the end and did not...

    Considering my Glock 22 for EDC

    @trackskippy - Let me start by saying the holsters and handguns are very subjective when it comes to feel. However, I love the Velo4 and that is my EDC holster. It is sturdy, secure, comfortable, and keeps my grip vertical for a consistent draw. I can carry a 19, 45 or 47 all day long with no...

    Considering my Glock 22 for EDC

    I generally carry my Glock 19, but have my 17 on my permit. I like to carry that when I am in the mountains or deserts. I really like the feel of a full sized gun and don't have a big problem concealing it. I say go for it!

    Maverick 88 Security

    Maverick 88's are a solid gun. I sold a ton of them back in the day and they all functioned and held up well. They might not be a slick as a Beretta 1301, but they will get the job done and then some.

    Beloved 30-06 Anyone?

    I truly love my 30/06. I have been shooting it seriously for 30 years. Every time I try to convince myself I need a new rifle, I go to the safe, pull out my most trusted Winchester, and move on to other ideas. The only thing have done to this rifle in the last 30 years is upgrade the stock and...

    What is this lever gun?

    Agreed! A lot has changed since I lived there in the late 80's, but back then the nearest Walmart really was an hour and half away. I can tell you that we double and tripled checked our shopping list because if we forgot the milk, we weren't having it for week or so. We were usually driving an...

    Burro Defense Gun

    I have been going there for years and yes you are right! It is beautiful, quiet, and remote. One of my son's recently passed and his health kept us homebound for quite a while. This will be our first family trip to deserts since then. We all have mixed emotions, but are going to give it a go...
